In the thick fog, the guard of the Wang Temple walked out with a wooden stick at an angle and tiger steps. He was ten steps away from Zhao Miao. The restraint and simplicity of the old farmer in the country were completely gone.
"Fortunately, I was on guard." Zhao Shu said, "When I saw you dealing with the young master of the Dai family, I knew you were a master of spears and clubs. Even without the spear head, the stick just now was enough to penetrate flesh and blood."
Wang Miaoshou’s voice was low: “When did you see through it?”
"See through? I didn't see through, it was just suspicion. If you don't take action, I can't prove that you colluded with Yaodeng." Zhao Shu said with a relaxed look on his face: "It's just that Mr. Zhu died too hastily. Here
I just finished taking care of the young master of the Dai family, and he was killed by a demonic vine the next day. Is there such a coincidence? Besides, no matter how arrogant Mr. Zhu is, he still understands that he always seeks advantages and avoids disadvantages. The demonic vine has occupied Yanquan Cave, and he can't beat him and still run away.
No?"
The corner of Wang Miao Shou's eyes moved slightly, and Zhao Shu continued: "I just received a blow from you, and I immediately understood that it was you who suddenly attacked Mr. Zhu. He is a poor casual cultivator with no means of self-protection, and he suffered hidden injuries.
It’s not unusual to be killed by you in one blow. But I don’t quite understand. With your skills, you should have been considered a brave man in the army back then, why would you collude with monsters?”
"You still don't understand?" Wang Miaoshou was a little excited and said with resentment: "How did the Huaxu Kingdom treat its heroes? The Tianlu Army fought bloody battles for decades, and countless young people became white-haired old soldiers. What did they get in the end? What did the old man get?
The general committed suicide unjustly, his troops were torn apart and placed in various places, and in the end, even Anjia's property was occupied by the wealthy gentry!"
The more Wang Miao Shou talked, the more excited he became. He suddenly pulled open his short hair, revealing his scarred chest: "Look! What have I done for Huaxu Kingdom? And among my brothers, which one is not covered with injuries?"
"Then what do you want?" Zhao Shu said calmly: "If you want to pension Yin and An Jiatian, I can discuss it with Mr. Dai."
Wang Miao Shou laughed out loud: "Li Zhao Fu, are you too naive? Who do you think you are? A college student who has learned several surgical techniques. If it weren't for clinging to the wealthy gentry and powerful people, do you think you would be able to stand here today?
?”
Zhao Shu was not angry: "I don't understand, so what's the point of doing these things now? With your ability, you can break into the Dai family."
Wang Miao Shou slowly shook his head: "I'm not that kind of reckless man."
"Are you going to arrange a way out for the other veterans?" Zhao Shu speculated: "I don't know how you met that demon vine, but you relied on its assistance to let the young master of the Dai family be possessed by the demon in order to take advantage of the opportunity.
Blackmail the Dai family?"
"That's right." Wang Miao Shou admitted unabashedly: "I have negotiated with it to let it attach itself to the Jiangjun Temple in the future. As a temple keeper, I will exorcise evil spirits for the young master of the Dai family and force Mr. Dai to use his land and money to make sacrifices.
, if he does not agree, the young master of the Dai family will never get better."
"It will never get better?" Zhao Shu rolled his eyes: "Back in Dai's house, I had clearly exorcised the demons for him. But the next day, he suddenly turned into a demon. Is this also your method? Can't you tell."
Wang Miao Shou snorted coldly: "That's not my method. The demon vine just gave me a wolf hair. It is what it used to make the young master of the Dai family become a demon. Mr. Zhu was right when he said that you are a mediocre person. I
I inspected the young master of the Dai family and took the opportunity to stuff a wolf hair into his mouth, but you didn't even have the slightest bit of caution."
Zhao Shu showed a smile of sudden realization: "That's it! If it happens, the demon vine can pretend to be a god and grow stronger with the power of incense. And as the temple guardian, you can also obtain the land to settle other old soldiers, and even use it to control the Dai family, so that
They continue to support you. The method of extorting money from wealthy families is old-fashioned, but it is more effective. Thinking about it this way, if the master of the Dai family hadn't sent a letter to the Huaiying Hall, no one would have been able to stop you."
"You are so smart that you insist on taking matters into your own hands. If you had received the reward and left early, why would you have done this?" Wang Miaoshou picked up the jujube stick, which was stained with blood. Even though there was no edge or blade, the vigorous old man could not help but
You can kill the enemy with this.
"You want to kill me?" Zhao Shu asked.
"Zhao Miao, the Fu official of Huaiying Hall, sacrificed his life in Lishan Mountain to exterminate the ominous evil spirits. He should be erected as a statue in the General Temple to accompany him, and he will be fed with incense and blood forever!"
Wang Miao Shou's words were powerful and forceful, just like a general on the battlefield calling for battle to the enemy.
When Zhao Shu heard this, he couldn't help but smile. The situation was clear now. The demonic vine method had caused thick fog, and the patrol officers below were besieged by wolves. The casualties might not be heavy, but there was a high probability that they would flee in fear of the battle. And those who followed
Several people who came to Yanquan Cave were killed by Wang Miao Shou again. If even Zhao Shu died here, then everything could only be explained by Wang Miao Shou.
Before Zhao Miao could open his mouth, Wang Miao Shou moved, and the jujube stick came straight towards him like a poisonous snake coming out of its hole.
Zhao Shu was already prepared and raised his left hand: "Sure!"
A flash of light flashed from the Qi Forbidden Talisman in the palm of his hand, and Wang Miao Shou's steps stopped. His whole body seemed to be stuck in a quagmire, sluggish and sluggish.
Zhao Shui retreated sharply, holding a pen in his right hand and making a golden spear seal with his left hand. He put his hands together and shot out a sharp golden evil spirit.
Wang Miao Shou is much more powerful than ordinary wild wolves. Even though he is old, his body and bones are still sixty or seven times as strong as in the past. His bloody bravery and fierceness have been thoroughly honed in fierce battles on the battlefield. The air restraint restraint can only hold him for a short breath.
Seeing the golden evil arrow shot out, Wang Miao Shou bit the tip of his tongue, broke free from the restraints, turned his body, and the golden evil arrow, which was comparable to a sword's energy, scraped his cheek, leaving a trail of blood.
Zhao Shu didn't wait for the opponent to approach, and swept his toes with the Qingxuan pen in his hand. His body was as light as a feather in an instant. He channeled the true energy in his body and jumped up vertically. He jumped two feet high and easily avoided Wang Miaoshou's swing.
The stick sweeps across.
Lifting the body lightly is usually something that can be done naturally after breathing in and refining Qi to a certain level. Zhao Shu's current cultivation level is still a little lacking, but with the feather step talisman hidden in the boot, it is not difficult to lift the body.
.
This feather foot talisman was improvised by Zhao Shu last night because he was considering that he could not stand still when fighting against the demonic vine. But now facing a brave warrior like Wang Miaoshou, standing still and chanting incantations is completely asking for death.
road.
In mid-air, he used his true energy again, as if stepping in the air, deflected his body, hid in the thick fog, and then landed accurately next to the corpses of the patrols. These people either received heavy blows to their temples, or their chests were dented. It can be seen that
Ordinary people have no power to fight back when faced with Wang Miao Shou.
Zhao Shu didn't intend to keep stalking Wang Miao Shou. He picked up a few bundles of fire-kindling pottery pots, threw his arms vigorously, and threw them directly towards the demonic vines in Yanquan Cave.
With the blessing of Yingxuan's illumination technique, the thick fog did not interfere with Zhao Shu's vision from the beginning. Even because the demon vine technique manipulated the energy in the mountain, he could see the location of the demon vine more clearly than others.
Compared with yesterday, the demonic vines today are much more wilted, withered and decayed. Presumably, this is to deal with the hordes of patrol officers, which cannot be resisted by wolves alone, so the method is used to attract thick fog and create the illusion of military formations.
.
But the more the demonic vine does this, the more vitality it loses. It had just taken root in Yanquan Cave, and was disturbed by Zhao Shu. It had no time to nourish and grow, and instead had to destroy its roots in order to save its life.
The pottery pot was smashed and shattered, and the flames and oil poured everywhere. Zhao Shu noticed that Wang Miao Shou was attacking again, and his luck improved again. He jumped up high and flicked the red and white ribbon directly in mid-air, and his hand skills changed.
, recite the mantra orally:
"Zhuwu Lingtian, Danxia rushes forward, and the fire crow is summoned quickly!"
They saw Zhu Wen's white ribbons swaying around like living things, with the bird seals moving around, and dozens of fire crows condensed from the remaining fire essence emerging from the white ribbons. They suddenly illuminated the white mist around them red, and the billowing heat waves evaporated the mist.
Zhao Shu endured the burning heat on his face and blew a wisp of true energy, as if holding the silk thread of a paper kite, controlling dozens of fire crows to fly in circles. His pen pointed at the demonic vine on the ground.
Wang Miao Shou was shocked to find that the thick fog around him had dissipated. When he looked up, he saw dozens of fire crows screaming and falling, like fire rain from the sky, mercilessly hitting the demonic vines.
With several loud bangs, a ball of flames exploded in the rock spring cave, the demonic vines let out a shrill scream, and an evil force spread in all directions indiscriminately.
Zhao Shu drank the evil talisman water and was able to withstand the evil force. But then a hazy shadow hit his head, face and seven orifices. He only felt that his vision went dark, and he suddenly lost the sense of his five senses and the touch of his limbs, and was unable to perform imperial magic.
, the body fell to the ground.
Ding--
Fortunately, at this moment, the sound of a jade bell vibrated and resounded in Zhao Shu's brain palace. The evil that had invaded the outside of his body was immediately killed and dissipated, and Zhao Shu immediately regained consciousness.
"What is that?" Zhao Shu knew that it was Lingxiao's spell that saved him.
"The evil spirit is about to fight back and want to seize your physical body. I will use the flowing golden fire bell to exterminate the evil spirit." Lingxiao said.
Zhao Miao broke out in a cold sweat. He stood up and looked at the demon vine that was burned like a bonfire. Together with Mr. Zhu's body, it was burning and crackling, but there was no movement.
"Thank you very much." Zhao Shu said to Lingxiao.
"No need to say more, you still have opponents." Lingxiao reminded.
Yao Teng's scream before his death seemed to have also affected Wang Miao Shou. He stood up with a jujube stick, blood flowing from the corners of his eyes and nostrils. There were scorch marks left by the explosion on his face and body, and he was in a miserable state.
"You, you..." Wang Miaoshou trembled slightly and gritted his teeth, unable to say a word.
"The evil spirit has been conquered, do you still want to persist?" Zhao Shu cast many spells one after another and felt tired at this moment.
"You can run away before the fog clears and outsiders don't know what's going on." Zhao Shu sighed: "I don't want to fight you anymore."
Wang Miaoshou stared at Zhao Miao with a relieved smile: "Run? Where are you running to?"
Zhao Miao was speechless for a moment. He could see that Wang Miaoshou was devastated. He had fought fiercely in the battlefield for half his life. After the war, not only was he not rewarded or appointed, he was even sent to various places. When he was old, his family's land was occupied by the wealthy gentry.
Wang Miao Shou has long been completely disappointed with this world.
He is already a dead man.
"I asked you when we entered the mountain." Wang Miaoshou stood up straight: "Don't you have any resentment at all?"
Zhao Miao didn't answer. Wang Miaoshou laughed a few times, then he coughed repeatedly and opened his mouth to vomit blood clots. But he didn't care about his situation and looked straight at Zhao Miao:
"I understand now that you are more desperate than me. You are so desperate that you didn't even care about your father's death... What a cold and heartless person you are."
Zhao Miao's face was expressionless, while Wang Miaoshou laughed to himself: "Actually, I have felt bad since you intervened. I can also see clearly what this demonic vine is capable of, and it will never become a climate."
"Then why do you still want to come with me?" Zhao Shu asked.
Wang Miao Shou clutched the jujube stick and took a deep breath: "I'm going to die, I feel like I'm really going to die. I'm squatting in the dark General Temple, doing nothing, watching that day coming day by day, soon.
It drives me crazy. After fighting for most of my life, I can't stand this kind of life. If I die, I will die on the battlefield!"
"The battle is over." Zhao Shu said.
"Really?" Wang Miaoshou asked back.
Zhao Shu didn't care about this and asked about other things: "If you die, what will happen to your colleagues?"
"They are not cowards, they don't need your special care." Wang Miaoshou stood tall and proud, as if his injuries had healed when he said this.
Zhao Miao had nothing to say, and Wang Miao Shuzhi smiled: "But this time, I don't lose everything."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Shu's thoughts changed rapidly and he noticed something was wrong.
"Didn't you notice who was missing?" Wang Miaoshou watched Zhao Shu gradually frown, and his smile became more and more proud: "That's right, Master Dai. Guess where he went?"
"Dai family!" Zhao Shu cursed secretly, but this time he miscalculated.
Wang Miao Shou said: "If you take people up the mountain, Demon Teng will let Master Dai go home. Even if you kill Demon Teng, Master Dai's demonic transformation will not subside."
At this time, the thick fog in the mountains gradually dispersed, and the wolves at the bottom of the hillside were no longer driven by the magic vines. They were beaten by the patrolmen and fled one after another, whining incessantly.
"This is your last chance." Zhao Shu said to Wang Miao Shou.
"Maybe this is your last chance." Wang Miaoshou took a stance, obviously not intending to give in, and chose to fight to the death.
Zhao Shu narrowed his eyes, immediately raised his hand, waved his pen, and recited the mantra:
"Thunder and arrow -"
The electric snake climbed onto the tip of the pen, but before the curse could be finished, Wang Miaoshou stepped down fiercely, flew towards him, and hit Zhao Miao's chest hard with the jujube stick.
Zhao Shu did not take advantage of the situation to retreat. The golden armor technique spread a little force from the stick throughout his body, and a few cracks appeared on the ground under his feet.
"——All over the nine heavens!"
The Qingxuan pen condensed the electric light, and a thunder arrow shot into the center of Wang Miao Shou's eyebrows, leaving a slight scorch mark.
Wang Miao Shou's head tilted back slightly, the light in his pupils disappeared, and he fell down.
Zhao Miao looked at the corpse of Wang Miao Shou, pressed his chest and breathed slowly, silently.
After a while, the fog in the mountain finally cleared away, and the sun shone in the rock spring cave. Burned by the fire crows, the demonic vines turned into a pile of charcoal, and Mr. Zhu's body also turned into ashes.
When the rest of the patrolmen came up timidly, they saw several corpses on the ground and Zhao Mi standing motionless.
"The monster has been killed." Zhao Shu spoke to reassure everyone: "Unfortunately, Wang Miaoshou and the other patrol officers died. Please take care of the corpses and return them to their families."
"Wang Miao Shou seems to have no family," someone said.
"Send it to the General Temple, and someone will naturally take care of it there." Zhao Shu sighed.
"Where is the young master of the Dai family? I didn't find him along the way."
Zhao Shu said calmly: "The young master of the Dai family is not in the mountain. I know where he is going and I have my own opinions. You don't need to follow him."
