Chapter Thirteen: End of the mission of eradicating evil
Everyone present did not expect that the bandit would suddenly scream and shout, and they were all deeply surprised. What surprised everyone in the caravan was that there was actually a secret book hidden in the wooden box. What surprised everyone on our side was the bandit.
The person can actually read, but Taoist Master Lin had previously explicitly requested that the person being inspected not be able to read. There is no doubt that the other party did not comply with the agreement.
Seeing the culprit trying to grab the secret book in the box, Chen Liqiu immediately closed the box and almost crushed the man's hand because he moved too fast.
"What are you doing? We haven't seen it clearly yet." The gangster quickly shrank his hands.
"You don't keep your word, you know how to read." Chen Liqiu scolded angrily.
"I have never studied and only know a few simple characters," the gangster argued. "If I don't know the Six Classics of History, how can I be considered literate?"
"You even know the Six Classics of History, but you dare to say that you are illiterate?" Chen Liqiu immediately exposed it.
If the bandits were not sophistry, everyone on our side might still regard the sudden change as an accident. However, since this person knows the Six Classics of History, it means that he is not only literate, but also familiar with it. You must know that most people nowadays are not
For those who can read, it can be seen that Zhong Agen sent this person to participate in the inspection with ulterior motives.
When Chen Liqiu was arguing with the bandit, Li Zhongyong looked at Taoist Lin anxiously, "Master?"
"Since I've said it first, let's open the box and let them see clearly." Taoist priest Lin said calmly.
"Master, they clearly know how to read." Chen Liqiu interrupted anxiously.
"We only need to prove that the Jade Seal of the King of Dian is really not in our hands." Lin Daozhang said.
It could be seen that neither Li Zhongyong nor Chen Liqiu wanted to open the wooden box again, but since Director Lin had spoken, they could only open the wooden box again and show the contents to the two gangsters.
"As the saying goes, there is no establishment without trust. I hope you will keep your word and don't break your word and get fat." Li Zhongyong said.
"That's natural, that's natural." The other party said casually.
Tian Zhengong was as attentive as a hair, and found that all the two people could see were the words on the secret book, so he walked to Taoist Lin and said softly, "Master, they are clearly here for the secret book. What happened today,
It will be difficult to do well."
"The people here are not evil. They are so numerous. If they really attack, we will definitely suffer a loss..." Taoist Master Lin lowered his voice when he said this. "After I take action, you immediately use the pretense of breaking out of the encirclement and deploy the Five Elements Formation on all sides.
Surround them all."
Hearing Taoist Priest Lin's words, Tian Zhengong nodded gently, turned around and walked towards Batulu who was leaning under the tree.
I was very close to Taoist Lin and listened to the entire conversation between Taoist Lin and Tian Zhengong. The first half of Taoist Lin's sentence was to paralyze the caravan, but the second half of his lowered voice was his true thoughts. The caravan knew that they had secrets.
Once the news leaks out, there will be endless troubles. If you want to put an end to it,
To avoid further trouble, everyone in the caravan must be left behind.
"Let's finish reading. We don't have the jade seal you mentioned." Chen Liqiu closed the wooden box angrily.
"Indeed not." The gangster turned and walked towards Zhong Ageng.
I thought that when the two passed by Taoist Lin, Taoist priest Lin would take action to keep them, but I never thought that Taoist priest Lin did not take action, but let the two of them cross the creek and return to Zhong Ageng.
After the two returned, they rushed to Zhong and said something to Ah Geng. Due to the distance, they could not hear the specific words, but excitement and excitement were clearly written on the faces of the caravan.
"Gang Leader Zhong, I have never seen the Jade Seal of the King of Dian you mentioned. Now that the misunderstanding has been eliminated, in the future the road will turn to the sky, and we will each go half way." Lin Taoist Leader said.
"It is true that the jade seal is not in your hands, and Zhong is not a person who breaks his word. Let's put this matter aside," Zhong Ageng changed the subject at this point, "But the Heavenly Silkworm Magic is a thing from the ancestors of our caravan, you have to
Hand it over."
Zhong Agen's tone was very tough. The reason why he became so tough was because he heard the first half of the conversation between Lin Daozhang and Tian Zhengong, and because everyone on his side was willing to open the wooden box and accept their search in order to clear the suspicion.
, which made Zhong Ageng think that they were timid and cowardly.
"We don't have the Celestial Silkworm Magic," Taoist Master Lin said.
"The ancient seal header on the bundle of purple-red bamboo slips clearly says "Celestial Silkworm Divine Art." said the bandit who had previously inspected the wooden box.
"You are wrong." Lin Daochang said expressionlessly.
I don’t know what the Heavenly Silkworm Divine Art is, but I can’t hide the excitement on Zhong Agen’s face. As the saying goes, power makes the mind faint. In the face of the huge temptation, Zhong Agen even lost his patience with hypocrisy and vomited out.
He kept chewing the red thing in his mouth, squinting coldly, with a ferocious expression on his face, "Don't toast or eat as a penalty, hand over the Heavenly Silkworm Magic Art immediately."
"I told you, they were wrong, we don't have the Heavenly Silkworm Magic," Taoist Master Lin said calmly.
"Gang leader, don't waste any time talking to him," a minion said from the side, "Let's go together and get our secret book back."
"That makes sense," Zhong Ageng pulled out the scimitar from his waist, "Brothers, follow me."
Before Zhong Agen finished speaking, people had already rushed out. Seeing the leader take action, the rest of the group immediately followed him, unsheathing their sabers and rushing over from all directions.
Seeing the enemy rushing over with a ferocious look, Taoist Lin whipped his whisk and took the lead in attacking Zhong Agen. Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu moved the wooden box to the tree where Baturu was, and occupied it on the left and right.
, block the enemy.
Without weapons, he could only pick up stones and throw them randomly. At a glance, he found Chen Liqiu's baggage not far away, so he ran over and picked it up before the enemy rushed over.
Just as he picked up Chen Liqiu's baggage, Tian Zhengong grabbed him. Before he could react, Tian Zhengong threw him towards Li Zhongyong.
Li Zhongyong swung his sword to force a bandit back, then freed his hand to catch it, "Stay here, don't run around."
Seeing that there were enemies all around him, he didn't bother to respond, so he hurriedly picked up rocks from the ground and threw them to help. He often threw rocks on weekdays and was quite accurate. Although he couldn't do it alone, he could help Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu.
Fill in the gaps.
While dealing with the enemy, he was distracted and looked at Taoist Lin. At this time, Taoist Lin was dealing with Zhong Agen. Zhong Agen was wielding a machete to slash horizontally and vertically. His moves were very fierce, and a circle formed around the two of them.
In order to catch the bandits who were waiting for an opportunity to sneak attack, Taoist Lin waved his fly whisk and moved around. Although his moves were not as fierce as Zhong Ageng's, he advanced and retreated calmly, and he was able to fight against many without appearing embarrassed.
Everyone in the caravan knows that Daoist Lin is a strong enemy, and at the moment Daoist Lin is fighting against Zhong Ageng. These gangsters all hope to help their leader capture Daoist Lin. Firstly, they can take away their salary, and secondly, they can claim credit in front of the leader.
Performance.
Driven by this mentality, most of those who were good at martial arts gathered around Taoist Lin. This move indirectly reduced the pressure on Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu. They split up to deal with the enemy, and barely managed to stabilize their position.
There were not many stones under the tree, and soon there were no more stones to pick up. Seeing Batulu struggling to get up with a copper stick, he grabbed the copper stick and replaced him.
He guessed that the copper stick was heavy, but he didn't expect it to weigh forty or fifty kilograms. He was so weak and thin that he couldn't swing it with one hand, so he could only hold it with both hands to help Li Zhongyong and Chen Liqiu resist the enemy's defense.
As the saying goes, two fists are hard to beat with four hands. Due to the large number of people in the caravan, someone in the caravan soon suffered a loss. It was none other than someone in the caravan who secretly fired a cold arrow from the dark. Without any precautions, he shot a short featherless arrow directly.
Middle left shoulder.
His strength was not very strong, and he could not swing the heavy copper stick immediately after his left arm was injured, so he could only drag the copper stick back to the tree.
Chen Liqiu, who was facing the enemy, noticed that he was injured. He looked back with concern. When he was distracted, the enemy seized the opportunity and swung his scimitar, leaving a long bloody gash on his chest.
Seeing that Chen Liqiu and Guancai were injured, Li Zhongyong became extremely anxious and swung his long sword quickly, temporarily forcing the enemy back.
"Third brother, fifth child, how are you?" Li Zhongyong asked nervously. Except for Batu Lu and He, the others all had family members. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, everyone tried their best to avoid unnecessary trouble.
of
Don't call each other by their full names, just address them by their seniority.
Chen Liqiu did not reply, but gritted his teeth and swung the shovel to knock down a bandit who rushed forward.
"I'm fine." He said with a trembling voice.
"Pain or itching and numbness?" Li Zhongyong asked eagerly.
Faced with the enemy in battle, and outnumbered, he could not be distracted. Before he could reply, he discovered that the bandit who had secretly fired the cold arrow before was aiming his crossbow at Li Zhongyong again.
Seeing this situation, he hurriedly shouted a warning, "Second brother, be careful!"
Before he finished speaking, the crossbow-wielding bandit had a scimitar on his forehead. The scimitar was the weapon of the caravan. How could it be inserted into one of their own heads?
After looking around eagerly, I suddenly realized that it was Taoist Lin who had snatched the machete from the bandits and thrown it out.
Seeing that Taoist Lin was trapped in a tight siege, he could still see six people coming to rescue him. I was puzzled. Since Taoist Lin still had some strength left, why didn't he kill Zhong Agen first? As long as he killed Zhong Agen, the enemy would be leaderless.
But after thinking about it, I figured out the reason. If Lin Daozhang really killed Zhong Agen, the gangsters from the caravan would disperse. Once they fled, everyone on our side would not be able to keep them all.
The reason why Taoist Lin kept stalling for time and did not kill immediately was because he was waiting for Tian Zhenyong to set up a formation to trap all the bandits.
He was injured and could no longer participate in the battle to help, but he did not want to sit idly by, so he began to count the number of enemies by the light of torches. At this time, all the enemies appeared. There were twenty-seven people in the distance and near, including five.
He was already injured and fell to the ground, not knowing whether to live or die.
Just when he counted the number of enemies, he noticed raindrops falling from the sky. Just when he mistakenly thought it was raining, he found that the raindrops falling on his head and face had a fishy smell.
When I looked up, I was almost mad. It turned out that it was not raining, but that naughty monkey jumped from other treetops to the tree where everyone was sitting, and was peeing under the tree at this time.
Because the monkey was located at a high place, he could not do anything even though he was angry. However, by chance, he suddenly noticed an arrow and crossbow not far away, which was left by the bandit who had been hacked to death with a machete earlier.
Arrows and crossbows were not uncommon at this time. He recognized the arrows and crossbows and found that the arrows and crossbows were already strung. Seeing the opportunity, he endured the pain and rushed out to pick up the arrows and crossbows.
At this time, the monkey was jumping and screaming triumphantly on the tree. He grabbed the crossbow in his hand and immediately pulled the trigger at the monkey. The short arrow flew out quickly and hit the monkey's head impartially.
Just as the monkey fell from the tree, Tian Zhengong's call came from the distance, "Master, the formation has been deployed..."
