Chapter 166 Pretending to be a ghost
The wind and rain were getting heavier and heavier, and the several bodyguards squatting in the Taoist temple became more and more uneasy.
They just came to take shelter when it was dark and rainy. When the rain stopped or lightened up, they had to continue on their way to reach the designated post station as planned.
It was a good time. The rain was getting heavier and it was impossible to walk. Staying in one place for too long would not only delay the trip, but most importantly, the longer you stay, the more dangerous it would be.
Coupled with some strange things that had just happened, several escorts looked very anxious around the campfire, especially Erzi, who had just claimed to have seen a will-o'-the-wisp, looking left and right like a mouse, staring at the dark corner.
However, the escort leader was calm and composed. He put the luggage he brought under his buttocks and rested his eyes on the handle of the knife with his hand closed.
Yang Yiyi and the other three were on the other side of the hall, sitting in the middle of a candle next to the Sanqing statue.
"Does this method work?"
"What Brother Li said will definitely work."
Zheng Yinping lacked confidence, or she was simply afraid.
The spear that was usually unpacked in the package had already been assembled and held in his arms. Staring at the flickering candlelight, Zheng Yinping whispered:
"I seemed to hear something"
"It's the wind, don't scare yourself."
Li Yingluo and Yang Yiyi were very calm. The former was not afraid of ghosts and was even interested in them, while the latter was naturally given the courage by Li Chengqi.
If there is a ghost, it is just a ball. If there is an immortal, the little ghost dares to be arrogant.
"But I really heard a sound, a rustling sound, like something was wandering around."
As soon as Zheng Yinping finished speaking, there was a bang, and the door of the hall was blown open by the strong wind again, and the door panels slapped together.
The escort was close to the door, and there were two people who were about to close the door, when they heard Erzi scream.
"Ghost! It's just above your head! It's a will-o'-the-wisp!"
Everyone looked up and saw a blue will-o'-the-wisp floating over everyone's heads and passing straight through the beams of the hall.
Slowly, in just a blink of an eye, the will-o'-the-wisp disappeared on the other side of the hall along with the thunder.
Now everyone saw it, it was indeed a moving will-o'-the-wisp.
Yang Yiyi grabbed the candle on the ground and put it out. After waiting for two seconds, she touched the wax with her fingers.
"It's hot, not a ghost."
Zheng Yinping also quickly touched the wax oil, and immediately became energetic.
The steel gun in his hand hit the ground with a thud, and Zheng Yinping shouted: "Why is Xiao Fangxiao pretending to be a ghost here!"
Don't be afraid if you know it's not a ghost, it's just a mule or a horse coming out for a ride.
At this time, everyone saw a black shadow flashing along the beams and walls. It didn't look like it was flying over with Qinggong. It was more like some dark humanoid object crawling along the wall like a spider, which made people feel uncomfortable. My scalp feels numb when I look at it.
"I saw it! Where are you running!"
However, Yang Yiyi reacted the fastest. While others were still looking up to see where the shadows hiding in the darkness had gone, Yang Yiyi stepped on the pedestal of the Sanqing Statue next to her and used her strength to fly away with the Fish Leap Kung Fu. And rise.
When everyone saw her jumping to the height of the rafters, they immediately punched her twice.
Maybe because it was too dark on the beams, Yang Yiyi couldn't see clearly. Both punches were blocked by the people hiding in the darkness with their strength.
The Fish Leaping Skill cannot stay in the air. If the strength disappears, Yang Yiyi will fall down. However, she reached out to catch her when she was falling. Although she did not catch it, the latter may not have expected that someone would jump up to her face, and she was beaten so hard that she lost her ability. Balanced, falling from the rafters one after the other.
Only then did everyone see that the other party was a human being.
This person was masked, wearing night clothes, with many black or dark green cloth strips hanging on his body. He looked like a crude version of a ghillie suit. Yang Yiyi didn't care what the man was wearing. As soon as his feet hit the ground, he jumped up to meet him again.
At this time, there was a rush of footsteps outside the door. A group of more than a dozen men in black armed with various weapons stood at the door. When they saw the situation in the hall, they immediately rushed in along with Feng Yu.
The escort leader Wang Zhen stood up and immediately drew his knife.
"Jie Yuanzhen, put away the escorts, I want to see who Fang Xiaoxiao is!"
Those men in black seemed to know that Wang Zhen was difficult to deal with, and no one dared to confront him head-on. They all used their numerical advantage to launch attacks from the flanks.
Of course, the one who can eat the food of the Escort Bureau is not a weak chicken. Wang Zhen's sword skills are as fast as a shadow and the sword's light is sharp. He can hold on to three or four people at the same time without falling behind at all.
This Wang Zhen was taught by a master of swordsmanship, and his Golden Swallow Sword has long been perfected. The blade is as sharp as a spring swallow. It is obviously a sword known as the King of Hundreds of Soldiers, but it dances with grace and grace.
The man in black handed over a steel fork, but it couldn't even touch his side. The light of the sword protected the large points around his body, and he rushed into the man in black as if he was in an uninhabited land.
Although the remaining five escorts were not as eye-catching as Wang Zhen, they were still quite decent. They formed a formation in front of the box and no one in black could get close.
The target of this group of men in black was obviously the escort. A group of more than a dozen people came in and immediately targeted the escort master.
When Li Yingluo and Zheng Yinping saw this, they planned to help Yang Yiyi first. After all, the matter was already very clear and had nothing to do with them.
But the man in black also noticed the three girls at this time, and probably because he didn't want them to cause trouble, he immediately separated into several people.
It seemed that the bodyguards were keeping it easy, but when we actually fought against them, we realized that these people were not ordinary bandits.
Not only do they have martial arts abilities, but they also use a variety of strange weapons and have different martial arts skills.
However, these completely unrelated methods can be grouped together and cooperate with each other tacitly. There must be an expert behind these people to guide them, otherwise they would have become a mess, let alone cooperate, and they would be even worse than the Plum Blossom Guards. Annoying.
The people of the Plum Blossom Guards all came from military families, and all they learned were military martial arts. They were not good at single combat in narrow places, and were better at forming military formations in open places to kill.
But these men in black are just the opposite. Their personal martial arts skills far exceed those of the Plum Blossom Guards, and they are better at melee and chaos.
Zheng Yinping's performance with a steel spear was extremely frustrating. She was good at large opening and closing, but due to the opponent's tacit cooperation with her tactics, she was often intercepted in the middle of the attack. Feel.
Li Yingluo was better. Her swordsmanship was originally light and elegant, but the opponent's variety of weapons was also dazzling. After a few clicks, the sword could only defend and was unable to repel the enemy.
Having said that, the other party didn't seem to have any killing intent. Several times they could have taken advantage of the victory but chose to turn back and defend. It seemed that they just wanted to hold them in place and stop them from moving.
The identity of this group of people is even more suspicious. They are robbing escorts but don't want to kill people?
Or to be more precise, if the other party doesn’t want to hurt innocent people, it’s best if no one takes the dart and runs away.
As for Yang Yiyi, she didn't even look at the dozen or so men in black who rushed in. She just looked for the chasing hammer that she pulled down.
The latter's qinggong is very weird and can even be considered weird. It's not like lifting with the legs in a normal way, but more like grabbing a wall with your hands and climbing up quickly.
However, due to Yang Yiyi's repeated obstructions, these people tried to run but were stopped by Yang Yiyi.
Several times in a row, the opponent seemed to be annoyed, and shot out several shadows with his wrist.
"Beware of hidden weapons!"
Hearing Li Chengqi's reminder, Yang Yiyi quickly covered her face with her arms. Several darts landed on her body and were blocked by the tiger hair vest.
While Yang Yiyi was protecting her head, her feet did not stop at all.
The man in black didn't expect Yang Yiyi to be so brave. He didn't even have to dodge to hit the hidden weapon. Yang Yiyi kept her hands protecting her face and hit her with the head.
That's right, this girl is really a dump truck.
