Chapter 4 Counterattack
Almost at the moment when Cheng Laoer threw the cup, Shi Laosan, who was pretending to be a tea guest, and the remaining bandits moved almost at the same time, each pulling out their weapons and attacking the woman in red. The table was chopped down, and Cheng Laoer also drew out his long knife and joined the battle group.
The guards were not to be outdone and drew their weapons to face the enemy.
At this moment, a blue flying knife shot out from the backyard and headed straight for the woman in red.
The woman in red was well prepared. She held a long knife in her hand, and the flying knife was nailed to the long knife. The remaining power was not diminished. She pushed the woman in red back and smashed three wooden tables before stopping. Next, the woman in red sheathed her sword and stood, her mouth still trembling slightly.
A young man in purple clothes walked out of the backyard. He seemed to have some regrets on his face, and said to himself: "It seems that we have to fight head-on after all." As he said that, he reached out and took out a talisman from his sleeve, and started to mutter something.
Since Chen Lin walked out, the woman in red has focused all her attention on him.
She knew that among all the people here, the only one who could threaten her was this young man in purple. Seeing him casting spells and chanting mantras at this moment, he immediately used Qinggong to fly up without hesitation, and slashed Chen Lin's face with the long knife in his hand.
Chen Lin, however, was not in a hurry. He made a secret with his right hand and performed a fireball technique. A ball of scorching fire emerged from his fingertips and shot towards the woman in red. This fireball technique is originally an introductory spell for those who cultivate immortality. It can be used against ordinary mortals, but it has little power against people with martial arts skills. However, Chen Lin did not expect this move to hurt the enemy and achieve meritorious service. He just wanted to block it slightly.
Sure enough, the woman in red held a sword in the air to block the fireball, then took advantage of the trend and took the fireball elsewhere.
But she herself was delayed by this. Almost instantly, Chen Lin over there had finished casting the spell, and a golden copper hammer flew out from the talisman, hovering in the air, full of aura. Chen Lin pinched the magic formula again in his hand, and the copper hammer instantly hit the woman in red.
Dang, Dang, Dang!
In the blink of an eye, the woman in red has exchanged more than a dozen moves with the copper hammer. She only feels that the attack angle of the copper hammer is strange and unpredictable, and its power is infinite. It is no less than a experienced master fighting her. A single mistake or a slight mistake could result in sudden death on the spot. In desperation, he had to concentrate on dealing with it, and Chen Lin was also using both hands to control the copper hammer, not daring to be careless at all. The two were in a stalemate for a while.
The battle between the bandits and the guards on the other side gradually became fierce. Although the bandits were small in number, they were all skilled in martial arts and ruthless in their attacks.
Especially Cheng Laoer and Shi Laosan are much more skilled in martial arts than anyone else. There is also a master on the guard side, who seems to be in charge of the position of commander. He is directing the guards to form formations to meet the enemy. Although the guards Their martial arts skills were not as good as those of the bandits, but they were better because of their tacit understanding and mutual care. Even though danger seemed to be everywhere for a while, no one was killed.
Chen Lin couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw that he couldn't attack that side for a long time. He shouted at Cheng Laoer: "Trash, don't you understand that to capture the thief first, capture the king? Take down the little kid first."
The bandits suddenly understood and increased their internal strength in their hands. , with fierce moves, hitting the middle-aged beautiful woman and the little girl. The guards responded hurriedly, but the bandits ignored them and acted in a desperate manner. The weapons in their hands only pointed at the two targets.
The responsibility of the guard is to protect the master, not to kill. If these two people are wrong, it will be useless even if they kill all the bandits here. Therefore, they did not dare to attack by force for a while and could only defend. They often focused on one thing at the expense of the other. The bandits got an advantage and launched even more desperate attacks.
With a pop, a bandit slashed a guard and immediately opened a gap. Seeing the bandit's knife slashing at the little girl, the other guard had to block it with his body, and blood suddenly poured out like a fountain.
The guards instantly seriously injured two people, making it difficult to form a formation. However, the bandits became more and more courageous as they fought. Seeing that a bandit had already rushed past the guard and reached out to grab the little girl, the leader of the guard tried his best to swing away Shi Laosan's sledgehammer, grabbed the little girl with his left hand and pushed it, and the girl was almost in danger. And narrowly escaped the hands of bandits.
The little girl had a pale face. By coincidence, she was pushed in front of Liang Yan. At this time, Liang Yan was also squatting in the corner with his arms and legs, looking trembling.
When Shi Laosan saw the little girl alone, with no bodyguards around her and only a young boy, she thought this was a God-given opportunity. He immediately used Qinggong and went straight to where Liang Yan was. The guard commander Na was willing to give up and caught up with Shi Laosan, drew his sword and cut him.
Shi Laosan turned around to resist, but kept running towards the little girl. He was in front of him in an instant, and grabbed the girl's arm with his left hand.
"If we get this girl, we can use her as a hostage to force the woman in red to submit. Hey, the first credit this time will go to me!"
Shi Laosan's heart was burning. , but I felt a cramp in my lower abdomen for no reason. He looked down and saw a dagger stuck in his lower abdomen.
The hand holding the dagger stretched out from behind the little girl's armpit.
The person who took action was Liang Yan!
At this time, the timid and weak expression on his face was gone, and instead he looked calm.
"You" Shi Laosan only had time to say one word before he was cut in half by the guard commander coming from behind.
At this time, the little girl's face was pale, her lips were biting tightly, and one small hand was grabbing the clothes of the person behind her. Liang Yan patted her gently from behind, and his expression softened slightly, but his little hand never let go.
She was pushed here just now. She was panicking, but she heard a voice from behind saying: "If you believe me, when a bad guy comes to catch you, just pretend to be scared and don't dodge. Let him catch him." , I have my own way."
She was scared to death, but when she heard the voice of the person behind her, she felt a little more at ease. She really stood still and didn't move, just waiting for Shi Laosan to come and catch her. he.
Liang Yan already has martial arts skills, but he is not good at it. When it comes to one-on-one combat, let alone Shi Laosan, he cannot defeat even an ordinary bandit in this store.
But he hid his clumsiness in front of him, and Shi Laosan had the preconception that he didn't know martial arts. In addition, he had to be distracted by resisting the guard commander, so he didn't even take this little kid to heart.
Liang Yan waited for the moment he caught the little girl before taking action. At this time, Shi Laosan was full of ambition and paralyzed. This series of calculations can be said to have taken advantage of the right time and place, and actually led to the death of a generation of reckless bandits.
Chen Lin had been observing the battle situation here. He could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Shi Laosan was about to succeed. But who knew that the situation took a turn for the worse, and Shi Laosan died suddenly on the spot in the blink of an eye. At this time, he had no idea that he had been tricked by this young boy.
This time, he was really furious and roared: "I'm going to kill you!" As he said that, he flicked his left sleeve and a blue flying knife shot towards Liang Yan.
The woman in red snorted coldly, flicked her left hand towards Liang Yan, and her inner strength came out. Liang Yan only felt a soft inner force pushing himself and the little girl a few inches to the left, followed by a A blue flying knife whizzed past his ear just a few inches away, smashing the wall behind him.
Chen Lin became even more anxious when he saw that the attack failed.
The woman in red is so skilled, she can see the flaw in an instant. She swung the copper hammer away, and her figure was like a flying swallow in the sky, coming in an instant. Before anyone arrived, the knife arrived first!
Chen Lin felt a flash of cold light, and his left arm flew into the sky like a kite with a broken string!
"Ah!" With a heart-rending scream, Chen Lin's face twisted, he flew back, and threw out several talismans with his right hand, some turned into fireballs, some turned into icicles, red The woman in clothes wanted to take advantage of the victory and pursue it, but was blocked by these talismans and stopped.
“How dare you, a mortal, cut off my arm, I will make you irrecoverable!”
Chen Lin looked at the woman opposite, his face twisted. He took out a black bullet from his pocket with his right hand, flicked it straight and shot it towards him.
The woman in red was alert when he reached into his arms. Seeing that the projectile was coming too fast, she hurriedly drew her knife to block it. But before the knife touched the projectile, the projectile exploded in advance, and a red mist floated out, instantly getting into her mouth and nose.
"It's happened!"
The woman in red was shocked and urged her internal energy to resolve it, but when the mist entered her body, she became lazily unable to exert any energy, and even her internal energy quickly dissipated. , and after just a while, he no longer had any internal strength.
"Hey, how does this Drunken God feel? Let alone you, even if the cultivator comes, you have to lie down for me!"
This Drunken God is Chen Lin. The secret treasure of the family. When he knew that he could no longer stay in the family to cultivate immortality, he spent most of his wealth to get this one from the family's entrustment, just to save his life in the future.
When I think about the fact that my biggest trump card will be gone in the future, plus the revenge of killing my arm. Chen Lin's heart almost burst into flames. "Hey, don't worry, I won't make it easy for you. Do you think you can be freed by death?"
"No, I want you to kill the people around you one by one in front of you! Then I will reward you to my brothers and let them humiliate and torture you. When they get tired of playing, they will kill you again. You will be executed with a single blow. After you die, I will extract your soul, hang your body naked at the gate of Yuncheng for everyone to see, and then put it to death. Your soul is suppressed in my spiritual weapon, and you will suffer all kinds of torture, and you will never be reincarnated! Hey, Xiao Nizi, you can’t even think of the methods of the immortal family!”
These words! She was so vicious that she had never seen before. Even though the woman in red was so proud, she couldn't help but feel frightened and her body was shaking uncontrollably.
At this moment, there was a roar out of thin air in the backyard of the teahouse. Under this roar, everyone was in a panic, as if a ghost was calling for their lives.
Everyone looked towards the backyard and saw an inner guest room. The door was open, but there was no one inside.
In the midst of surprise, he turned around and found that there was someone else in the lobby at some point.
This man is dressed in gray cloth monks, with a face as big as a jujube, eyes as big as a child's fists, yellow teeth covered with bloodshot eyes, and his hands and arms are covered with strange runes, emitting bursts of enchanting energy. A trembling breath.
At this time, he was holding the lapel of Chen Lin's clothes with his left hand and making a fist with his right hand and swinging it backward. Chen Lin was captured by his gaze, and his body seemed to be suppressed by Mount Tai, unable to move at all. It was impossible to say a word or even take a breath. His face had already turned the color of pig liver.
Liang Yan took a breath. He was very sure that this person was the old monk who saved him, but his appearance changed drastically at this moment. If he hadn't seen the monk's clothes on him, even if he was told that this was a hell statue He also believes in evil spirits.
Chen Lin's throat rumbled, as if he wanted to say a few words of begging for mercy. But the old monk didn't give him this chance. He punched out with his right hand, and with a "bang!", Chen Lin's whole body turned into a ball of blood mist and dissipated between the sky and the earth.
The old monk punched out, as if all his anger had been vented, his breath dropped rapidly, and he instantly transformed back into the old monk with a withered face and dying, clasped his hands together, and whispered the Buddha's name.
At this time, everyone in the hall regained their ability to move. When the bandits saw the monk's power, they were already heartbroken. They dropped their weapons and kowtowed like garlic. The bandits kowtowed for more than ten times before helping each other and fleeing for their lives.
In the lobby of the teahouse that was in chaos just now, only the group of women in red, Liang Yan and others were left.
As early as when the old monk appeared here just now, the woman in red felt the zhenqi surge in her body, instantly dispelling the intoxicating drug of the drunken god, and her body regained its freedom.
She took a deep look at the old monk and said slowly: "I had known that Buddha was also angry, but when I saw it today, it was indeed the angry eyes of Vajra that made ghosts and gods frightened!"
Seeing that the old monk was still standing there, with his hands clasped and his eyes lowered, he had no intention of answering her. Then he smiled bitterly, clasped his fists and said, "Little girl Lin Ziqing, thank you for rescuing me today."
After saying that, he gritted his teeth and walked towards the little girl. When she checked carefully, he found that the little girl was only frightened and had no symptoms. It was serious, so he felt relieved and touched her head lovingly.
Then he turned his eyes and asked Liang Yan, "Little brother, what is your name?"
"Liang Yan."
"Well, thank you for meeting me twice today. "Help, if you don't mind, you can call me Aunt Qing." He took out a jade pendant and handed it to him: "If you come to the capital in the future, you can use this to come to me. I can help you with anything." You can speak anywhere.”
Liang Yan shook his head and pushed the jade pendant back to her and said, "Helping you means helping me. If I just stand by and watch, I will die in the end."
Seeing that he actually refused to take credit, Lin Ziqing's eyes became even more appreciative.
Seeing that Liang Yan refused to accept the jade pendant, the little girl on the side became more and more anxious. She took the jade pendant from Lin Ziqing's hand and stuffed it directly into Liang Yan's hand.
"Just let him accept it, Aunt Qing! He saved my life. I almost thought I was going to die here just now."
Turn around and said to Liang Yan: "Brother Liang, just accept it. You must come to the capital to play with me in the future. Yes. Yes, my name is Liu Wanrou, you can call me Wan'er. By the way, my father is very rich. I can buy you anything you want to eat. There are also many fun places in the capital. I will take you to play when you come. , if you are tired, you can rest at my house"
It was as if he had never said so many words in one breath, and he seemed to have said everything he knew in one breath. At the end of the sentence, his face turned red and he gasped slightly.
Lin Ziqing patted Wan'er's back lovingly, rolled her eyes at Liang Yan, and said, "Just accept it, this is Wan'er's gift to you, you can be considered friends now, right?" , it’s normal for friends to give each other gifts.”
Liang Yan. He scratched his scalp, then smiled freely and said: "That's right!"
"It's a pity that I accepted your gift, but now I have nothing to give you. If we meet again in the future, I will definitely give you one back." A gift."
Wan'er nodded heavily after hearing this.
Lin Ziqing suddenly remembered something, and asked with a strange look on her face: "How did you find out?" This sentence had no beginning or end, and Wan'er on the side couldn't help but ask: "What did you find out?"
< br>Lin Ziqing seemed to be extremely patient with Wan'er, holding her hand and saying: "If he hadn't reminded us that the tea is poisonous today, I'm afraid we would have suffered a misfortune."
Wan'er's big eyes widened. , curiously asked: "Brother Liang reminded me Ours? But Wan'er didn't hear it."
Lin Ziqing smiled slightly, "You don't understand the hint he gave. At that time, he brought the tea set, and one of the three tea cups was. It's turned upside down, it fits perfectly here It refers to a proverb in my hometown Bianzhou, "The teacup is turned upside down, which means there is something fishy hidden in the tea."
Lin Ziqing turned to Liang Yan and asked, "I'm right." ”
Liang Yan nodded silently.
“But what I’m curious about is, how did you find out that I’m from Bianzhou?” Lin Ziqing then asked.
Liang Yan glanced at her and said, "Because of the red rope on your ankle."
"Just because of this?"
"I was raped by my father when I was a child. I took him to Bianzhou to do business. The people there are conservative and the women are grown up. After that, you would tie a red string on your head to indicate that you were ready to get married. I saw that you were not an ordinary woman because of your advanced martial arts skills. I guessed that you tied the red string on your ankles to show contempt for etiquette. Well, I had no other choice at that time. The only way is to take a risk.”
Lin Ziqing took a deep look at him and felt that this child was really weird and abnormal and could not be treated with common sense. I wanted to ask him something more, but suddenly a Buddha's call came from behind.
"Amitabha, Liang Yan, come with me."
Two updates a day starting tomorrow
