Chapter 8 The Black Magpie (2)
Chapter 8: Black Magpie (2)
The wind is a slander he learned when he was in Wagang Village. It means that the opponent is very strong, everyone judges the situation and runs away decisively when necessary. Unexpectedly, today it will come true!
"Go quickly, they are here to catch you!" Before he could see clearly which company the visitor was using, a ragged figure suddenly jumped out after a rock half a foot away from the two of them. He rushed to the front in three steps and reached out to grab his arm.
"Stop!" Chang Wanying was anxious and pulled out the sword, and stabbed the man with distraction. However, her sword was gently pushed by Ning Yanzhang's spear made of a tree trunk, "Don't kill him. He is my second uncle!"
After the words came, the spear in his hand also landed on the ground. He held the shaking person with both hands and shouted: "Uncle II, why are you here? Who is it, who hurt you like this?"
"Stop asking, it's hard to say anything!" The person who came was Ning Caichen, the second leader of Wagang, who was no longer as handsome as before. The beard on his chin was as messy as straw, and deep and shallow wounds were everywhere under his ragged clothes.
However, he had no time to stop and apply medicine. After a breath of breath, he immediately grabbed Ning Yanzhang again and urged loudly, "Let's go, you two hurry up and rush out from the front. The road down the mountain behind has been blocked! They are here to kill you, and they want to kill someone to silence you!"
"Who are they?" At this moment, Chang Wanying also realized that the person who came was a friend but a enemy. She followed Ning Yanzhang with her sword in an instant and asked loudly.
"I don't know either. I found them halfway. I originally wanted to get close to find out, but I quickly lost the wind. I was almost captured by them!" Ning Caichen turned his head, quickly glanced at Chang Wanying, and added breathlessly.
The girl is good, has a good face and is tall, and looks deeply in love with the little fat child. She just doesn’t know which one her grandmother is, and she is willing to live a bumpy and displaced life with someone of unknown origin.
"Who are you? How could it be his second uncle? Why have I never seen you?" Chang Wanying also looked back at this moment and saw clearly his appearance. She had a wide forehead and a high nose. Although there was an ugly scar on her face, the teeth in her mouth were neatly tidy. Obviously, this guy has a very good background, but the encounter may be a little bad later, so she fell into this situation today.
"He is the second in command of Wagang Village and my life-savior. I now take his surname. I have told you all these!" The answer was Ning Yanzhang's slightly angry voice.
Although the distance between him and Chang Wanying has been shrinking for half a month, he finds it difficult for him to tolerate the other party going back and forth, and then questioning Ning Caichen, the second in charge of Wagang, like an interrogation of the thief.
Since the moment he decided to change his surname to Ning, the latter has long become the only relative and elder in his heart. Any suspicion and disrespect for Ning Caichen is similar to being imposed on him.
"It turns out to be Uncle Ning, no wonder I have never seen him before! The little girl is rude, please don't blame me!" Chang Wanying's brows quickly frowned, then she quickly stretched out. She changed into a sweet smile and sincerely apologized in the tone of the younger generation to the elders.
Ning Caichen was a veteran of flowers when he was young. He was very keen on girls at this stage, but he could guess eight () nine and ten. Hearing Chang Wanying's words, he quickly waved his hand, "It's okay, maybe! I'm really too sudden, you're right in question. But we don't have time to explain in detail now. How many roads can we go down the mountain in total? I'm worried..."
Before he finished speaking, a huge noise sounded right in front of the Taoist temple. Immediately afterwards, screams, crying, begging for mercy and angry accusations came over alternately, stimulating people's hearts.
"Senior brother and the others are applying medicine in front of him!" At this moment, Chang Wanying no longer cared about the grievances of Ning Yanzhang put the second leader of Wagang in front of him, exclaimed, and rushed past him with big stances. Three and two vertices rushed into the back door of the Taoist temple, and then disappeared.
Ning Yanzhang was also anxious, but he himself did not have the flexibility of a girl. He was surrounded by Ning Caichen, who was not familiar with the situation in the Taoist temple, so he could only do his best to chase him back. As soon as he entered the back door, he saw countless panicked people running around like headless flies in the narrow vegetable garden. However, the people who were waiting outside these days for Taoist Master Fu Yaozi to personally treat him with difficult and complicated diseases, were frightened at this moment and fled directly from the front door of the Taoist temple to the back door.
"The road down the mountain behind was blocked by a group of unknown people. Be careful!" He reminded him with a loud voice. The boy stumbled through the crowd and went upstream. As a result, after walking dozens of steps forward, he saw hundreds of men with horror fleeing. Some of them were covered in blood, and some were so scared that their legs and feet were weak and their faces were ashamed. However, no one was willing to show weakness on his mouth and spoke in filthy words.
These people were waiting outside the Taoist temple to learn from their masters and immortals. They thought that as long as they persisted for a longer time, they would definitely let Fairy Fuyaozi see his piety towards the Tao. However, no one expected that the first test everyone faced was the great disaster of life and death.
"The road down the mountain has been blocked long ago! If you want to survive, don't put down the weapons in your hands!" Ning Caichen saw that almost all of them were carrying swords and in the face of disaster, he only knew how to escape and had no courage to resist. He couldn't help but open his voice and shouted loudly.
"Dang, dang!" It's okay if he didn't shout, but as soon as he shouted, most of the men quickly threw away their weapons and rushed towards the back door. When they met people blocking the way, whether they were old or young, or women or children, they all rushed by. They were as powerful as Zhang Wenyuan, the head of Xiaoyaojin, and were brave enough to be inferior to the iron spear of the former king of Pan Zhangzhai. (Note 1)
"You cowards!" Ning Yanzhang saw it, so he had to turn around and return to the vegetable garden and maintain order from the back door to observe the order. However, although he had been studying hard recently, he was still a newcomer after all, and he did not hold a suitable weapon in his hand. Therefore, he pushed this away and missed the one again. He was so busy that he was sweating profusely, but he failed to relieve the chaos. Instead, the men who were rushing to escape to punch several times in their chests, stomachs, etc., and their eyes turned black.
"Those who want to escape by themselves, walk in the middle. Those who want to hide in the vegetable garden are against the wall!" At the critical moment, Ning Caichen was still experienced. He picked up a horizontal knife thrown by someone else from the ground, "Brush! Brush!" He cut over two strong men who were crossing the head of the child, and then raised the bloody blade high and shouted sternly.
"Ah, I've killed someone! I've killed someone!" The men who were escaping were splashed with blood. They were so scared that they fought and screamed in pain. However, no one dared to push and squeeze around, avoiding the range of the blade from afar, and there was no blood on their faces.
"You, you, and you two! I picked up weapons and blocked the back door. Who would dare to run around and squeeze? Let's kill first!" Ning Caichen used the tip of the knife to point out four strong men with strong hands and feet from the closest place to him, and ordered him to help maintain order. "Hurry up, I'll count to three. If you don't want to obey the order, I'll kill you first and then replace one group of them...!"
"Grandpa, Master, please spare me!" The four men who were caught by him were so scared that they were so scared that they screamed, bent down to pick up their weapons, and rushed to the back door of the Taoist temple like wind. The bright sharp blade was raised high, and no matter who wanted to go in and out casually, they would have to take a knife first.
"I remind you again that the road in the back mountain has been blocked by others. If anyone insists on leaving, it is OK, but you can't squeeze. Follow one by one, line up, go out slowly, and leave immediately after leaving the door!" Ning Caichen took a deep breath and continued to give loud instructions.
He sat in the second seat in Wagang Village, and he was originally full of official power. At this moment, he was ragged and covered in blood. He looked like a cruel person who had just escaped from hell. The two factors combined were enough to scare most ordinary people. Therefore, the order in the vegetable garden that had been chaotic in the past was quickly restored. Although most people still chose to go out for life, no one dared to rush around with their strong bones, and they would not dare to step on the elderly, weak, and children with big feet.
"I'm here to guard this. Go to the front yard and find the girl and Taoist Master Fu Yaozi, and find a way to go down the mountain to escape!" Seeing that his efforts had begun to work, Ning Caichen waved his sword at Xiao Fei and shouted for orders.
"Uncle Second..." With Ning Yanzhang's temperament, how could he leave him and escape alone? He picked up a short spear that he had left behind and held it in his hand, standing side by side with him.
"Get out, I'm not as burdened as you, I can only run faster!" Ning Caichen raised his right foot and kicked the young man half a foot away. "Get out quickly, get out quickly, how many people have died because of you, you are a disaster star? If you don't live well, they will all die with your eyes open!"
"Second Uncle!" Ning Yanzhang choked and screamed, covered his face and left. He walked through the museum, passed the corridor, and stumbled to the front yard. Along the way, he saw many men who came to become disciples, covering his wounds, rolling and wailing. He also saw many people who came to seek medical treatment, staring with their eyes full of frightened words and were at a loss.
Finally arrived at the front yard of Yunfeng Temple, but saw seven or eight corpses lying on the local area. There were Taoist priests and children in the temple, innocent people living nearby, and several evil people in the world with flesh-faced faces. I don’t know who was killed by all of them, and they all died with their eyes closed.
"Chang Qi, Chang Wu, you two go to the wall and pick up the greetings of the team with bows and arrows. The others will form a six-flower formation for me and take back my master and senior brothers!" Just as they were shocked and hated, Chang Wanying's familiar voice came from his ears. It was a little anxious, but the square inch was not confused at all.
"Yes!" Immediately, two generals of the master took a bow and arrow and stepped up the courtyard wall. They looked down from a high place and shot towards the outside. The remaining ten generals of the masters quickly rushed out of the Taoist temple gate and killed a group of people from the Jianghu who were trying to rush inside, retreating and screaming.
The Six Flower Formation is said to be created by Li Jing in the early Tang Dynasty. It can be big or small, and the changes are most flexible. When it is big, thousands of soldiers can be combined to protect each other and attacks like a tide. When it is young, five or six people, or even eleven or two people can form six plum blossoms, and advance and retreat calmly in the enemy's army that is several times more than oneself.
The personal masters equipped by Chang's house for the second lady Chang Wanying are all veterans who have seen blood on the battlefield. They have worked together for many years and a double six flower formation makes them so amazing. In a blink of an eye, they are fighting for the lives of Fu Yaozi and others who are fighting against unknown tourists in the world. They bring the Taoist priests and the last group of innocent people and slowly retreat into the Taoist gate.
The tourists from the world outside were blown by the head, shy and angry. For a while, they could not break through the Liuhua Formation blocked at the gate, and were frightened by the two masters of arrows on the wall. They had to retreat fifty steps away, tilted their necks and cursed, "The bull's nose, please make a deal with someone quickly. I will give you half a stick of incense sticks. After half a stick of incense sticks, shoot in the door, and the buds..."
"Master!" Seeing that Fu Yaozi was covered in blood, the senior brothers next to him were all injured. Ning Yanzhang felt guilty and took two steps at a time to meet him, bowing to the ground, "It's because my disciple's life is not good, and I'm plaguing you. I'll go out now and let them retreat on their own!"
After saying that, he stood up and prepared to go to death. But Fu Yaozi slapped him and stumbled, "Nonsense, will it work if you die? You don't take a closer look at what they did outside. They clearly want everyone here to kill and not leave a single living!"
"Ah--!" Ning Yanzhang didn't care about the pain on his face, and stared out the door with his eyes wide open. He saw that the usually bustling Taoist temple was covered with corpses. Most of them were innocent people, with only twenty or thirty pieces, dressed as a gangster. And further away, there were hundreds of gangs in black, chasing innocent people running around the mountains and fields to chase and kill innocent people running around. Anyone who was caught from behind was killed by a knife.
"He, he, he and the others..." There was a biting cold air that rushed straight from the soles of his feet to the young man's head. Fu Yaozi was right, even if he took the initiative to go out to die, it would be useless. The man in black and the tourists from the world did not want to leave any living. Anyone who was blocked in the Taoist temple today, and who had contact with the Taoist temple were all chased by them, and no one could escape safely.
But why did they do this? Isn’t it enough to kill me alone? Others don’t look like the second prince and can’t threaten Liu Zhiyuan’s throne? The young man couldn’t figure it out, but he couldn’t close his eyes. He could only hold his fists tightly and let his fingernails pierce the palms blood.
"Master, Master..." A sad voice suddenly came from behind his body, pulling his gaze back from outside with difficulty. Turning his head, Ning Yanzhang saw the second senior brother Zhenxuzi, being helped up from the pool of blood by several other senior brothers. A short knife was inserted into his stomach, which was so deep that it was too deep.
"Zhenxu!" The eldest senior brother Zhenwuzi rushed forward to treat him, but was gently blocked by the second senior brother. He turned his eyes to Fu Yaozi who was walking quickly. Taoist Zhenxu smiled and shook his head, "Master, it's time for disciples!"
"The Supreme Taiyi Duye Tianzun!" Fu Yaozi recited a low voice, walked forward, sat in front of Zhenxuzi, and burst into tears.
"The Supreme Taiyi Duwei Tianzun!" The fellow disciples and brothers pressed against Zhenxuzi with their bodies, sat in a small circle, and chanted in a low voice: "The ancestor energy of Yuanyuan has transformed the Nine Yang spirit. The power spreads to the ten directions, and the truth is revealed in a daze..."
"I realize that I don't know anything, but the more I know that I know that I am more useful. I can laugh at the world, but I don't know that dreams are dreams." In the low chanting of scriptures, Zhenxuzi's voice was like a big bell, hitting everyone's heart. After reciting, he smiled slightly, closed his eyes and passed away. (Note 2)
Note 1: In the Battle of Panzhang Village, Wang Yanzhang became one of the famous battles. The Later Tang Emperor Li Cunxu led his army to attack Panzhang Village. Wang Yanzhang was ordered to rescue him, but there was a shortage of ships. He boated alone and crossed the river first. The defenders in the village saw his banner and their morale was greatly boosted. Li Cunxu knew that the sneak attack would not be successful, but he was unwilling to fight with him, so he immediately led his troops to retreat.
Note 2: This passage imitates the scene when Tan Chuduan died in "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" by Mr. Jin Yong, and is not deliberately stolen. Hereby explain.
