The firelight flickered on both sides, and the county inspection team was rushing to surround the place. The shouts and shouts were disorderly, and it was obvious that they were being chased away.
"How could it be such a coincidence?"
Zhu Xiaoqian, who was suddenly surrounded, did not panic, nor did she plan to use Qinggong to transfer property through the wall. Since the other party discovered her, they must be on guard. Rather than being exposed to the range of bows and arrows, it is better to rely on alleys to avoid hidden arrows.
She had just counted that there were less than fifty guards in the small county government office, and half of them were patrolling outside, which meant that there were no more than thirty people surrounding her.
Zhu Xiaoqian held her breath, without making any sound, and took two steps back to hide in the darkness.
"Catch the thief!"
"Capture them without mercy!"
The roar became more and more harsh, but the alley remained dark, as if there was only a dispensable shadow in the middle of the alley.
The confrontation between one person and dozens of people did not last long before two torches were thrown in impatiently.
Then, roaring sounds came from all directions, accompanied by the sound of armor and knife handles clashing. Four Qing soldiers formed a group and advanced from the alley carrying large shields. The Qing soldiers behind set up their bows and arrows and moved forward steadily.
Walking.
But what surprised them was that both sides of the alley were blocked, and no movement was seen on the roof. However, the patrol soldiers entering from both directions had already seen each other, and no trace of the thief was found!
It was as if a living person had disappeared into this alley out of thin air!
"Where are the people!!"
"Ran?!"
The Qing soldiers who were holding their shields forward walked to a distance of three meters and found in disbelief that the thief had really disappeared. They wondered whether they had missed a certain firewood pile or a certain ditch.
Suddenly, there were strange noises outside the alley, and the archers at the rear of the teams on both sides fell onto a cobblestone that fell from the sky without any warning!
"The thief is outside! Get out!"
Some legends about fox monsters and corpses came to mind, and the patrolling soldiers were slightly panicked, and they quickly turned around and retreated out of the alley.
But what they didn't realize was that on the short stretch of road three meters apart between them, under the eaves that were too narrow to provide shelter from the wind and rain, there was something with overlapping bodies and shrunken bones, hiding in the shadow of the eaves.
Bottom, like a big gecko with a human face...
The moment the shield turned around and its back was exposed, a sound rang out!
Zhu Xiaoqian actually attacked both sides by herself, throwing stones continuously with both hands. Both sides of the narrow alley were lined with rammed earth walls, and the stones were beating back and forth on both sides like naughty children, making a deafening crackling sound.
sound.
The soldier who raised his shield to clear out the troops was at the end of the team. He was hit in the temple by a smooth stone and fainted in an instant. He fell to the ground. The remaining people were horrified and waved their hands wildly in an attempt to knock down the stone.
But before the locust stone in front hit the ground, it was stimulated again by the new one from behind. The landing point was calculated accurately. The result of the continuous collision was the ballistic trajectory of the stone, which was even more dazzling. It was no longer limited to flying from behind.
It could appear from any tricky angle at any moment, leaving them with a bloody head!
The Locust Stone was approaching its extreme, so brutal that it was shocking, and so accurate that it was illogical. This ordinary alley turned into a Shura field where thousands of arrows were fired!
More than 20 Qing soldiers fell to the ground and passed out, unable to stop her from leaving. Zhu Xiaoqian clapped her hands, restored her bones that had been adjusted by the bone shrinking technique, and walked towards the county wall.
"Hmph, old lady, if I don't have two brushes, how dare I come to break into the tiger's den?"
But before she reached the entrance of the alley, there was sudden applause.
"It turns out to be Zhu Xiaoqian, the Thousand-Hand Guanyin who was famous in the world back then. Don't even think about running away today!"
Zhu Xiaoqian stepped back suddenly, because this time, in such a narrow place in the empty alley, she didn't even hear the other party's footsteps!
Mr. Lu, the tall military leader, walked in from the outside with applause and a mysterious smile on his face.
Zhu Xiaoqian vaguely guessed just now that there should be a hidden Qinggong master in the house who noticed her traces and followed her here.
But what I didn't expect was that it would be this guy who had been hiding all this time.
Judging from his slender arms and legs, which look like a bear's scorpion, he should be following the line of vigorous and hard kung fu. How could he have such superb attainments in light kung fu?
"Sir, I am just an ordinary old woman. I am not the Thousand-Armed Guanyin. You will definitely not be able to give birth to a child if you look like this. If you want to worship Guanyin, I recommend you to go to the temple in Nanshan. It is very effective in praying for a child..."
Zhu Xiaoqian, a seasoned old man, immediately put on a village woman's smile and began to tell nonsense. Her eyes were timid and she did not dare to look at each other. She even spread her hands to show that she was harmless.
"You just fired seven, seven and forty-nine hidden weapons in a row. Considering your old age and lack of physical strength, I am not willing to defeat you without force."
The leader of the army, Mr. Lu, didn't care. He put his hands behind his hands and said, "I heard that what you are best at is not concealed weapons, but catching darts. I will give you three moves today, and you will catch three darts with your mouth. But once, you missed it.
I’ll let you go!”
Zhu Xiaoqian said with a bitter face: "My lord, you also know that I am old. Let alone three darts, you asked me to have 300 darts, but it is useless. Why don't you just treat me as a fart..."
The leading officer's face was indifferent, unmoved at all: "No need to say more, I will..."
Before she finished speaking, Zhu Xiaoqian clenched her thumb, middle finger, and index finger, and at the same time exhaled into her Dantian. She took a deep breath and spread it all over her fingers. She had already sent out the plum blossom needle for her hairpin, and in the blink of an eye, she had already rushed to the front of the leader.
!
"Click!"
Caught off guard, Mr. Lu turned sideways and jumped into the air in the alley.
"First escort."
When he turned around, he actually bit the plum blossom needle with his teeth!
The leading officer's expression remained unchanged, he spat out the concealed weapon in his mouth and counted coldly.
Zhu Xiaoqian looked panicked. Someone had taken away her unexpected hidden weapon. Could it be that she hadn't been around for too long and couldn't keep up with the times?
"Sir, I really didn't mean it. I can take you to catch those fugitives. I know all about the location of the Little Fifth Ancestor. Do you think you can let go..."
Before she finished speaking, Zhu Xiaoqian threw another dart!
This time, it was true that the specially-made buttons on her night clothes made round wishful beads fly out and crackle on the wall. Even if the opponent could dodge this time, they would definitely not be able to bite this hidden weapon!
The leading officer climbed up the wall with both hands and hung in the air. An inverted golden hook unexpectedly came first, as if he had calculated all the trajectories, and bit the hidden weapon Ruyi Pearl between his teeth.
"Second dart."
The other party was still expressionless, but Zhu Xiaoqian started to panic, as if she wanted to dodge, and would climb over the wall at any time, and even stepped on a stone pier by the roadside.
Mr. Lu snorted coldly, "My Eight-Armed Arhat is also outstanding in Qinggong, so please don't act rashly."
"How will you know if you don't try!"
Zhu Xiaoqian suddenly jumped up more than ten feet. Mr. Lu stood up and was about to catch up, but he heard the sound of breaking through the air! Knowing that the opponent suddenly hit another hidden weapon, he quickly withdrew his steps and used the power of twisting his waist and hips to fly forward and release his force with precision.
Di caught the hidden weapon with his mouth again.
But this time, Master Lu's expression changed drastically.
"Hmph, you are trying to eat all the phlegm that the old lady spits out, so you can use it as a spittoon in your next life!"
Zhu Xiaoqian mocked the other party triumphantly. She had prepared all the hidden weapons she carried with her, and her martial arts skills were finally about to appear again.
"court death!"
The leading officer was furious. He took out a row of hidden weapons from his waist as fast as a meteor, held it between his fingertips and secretly activated it. He shook his wrist and snapped his fingers in one go. Zhu Xiaoqian on the other side did not hesitate to fight back.
The sound in the narrow alley was like meteors, and the two humanoid machine guns started a battle in a dark place.
Zhu Xiaoqian's flying locusts were fast, Master Lu's flying darts were accurate, hitting and falling in mid-air; Zhu Xiaoqian's wishful pearls were like rain, Master Lu's money darts were like white rainbows penetrating the sun, and a burst of iron seemed to fall in the alley.
rain.
What's even more astonishing is that the two's light skills are as fast as ghosts. They can dodge hidden weapons and move around like antelopes hanging their horns. There are no signs or traces, just like floating leaves passing over the wall, without a trace of fireworks.
In the electric light and flint room, the darts prepared by the two people have long been used up, and the scene has turned into a duel to catch darts with bare hands. There are only a dozen darts, but they turn into hundreds of figures moving back and forth.
There may not be a tacit understanding between these two enemies.
Until this moment, the two of them were getting faster and faster. They had surpassed calculation and thinking, and completed hidden weapon attacks completely based on instinct!
At another sudden and unpredictable moment, the rain of hidden weapons in the alley suddenly stopped, and the hidden weapons in their hands disappeared quietly, as if everything just now was an illusion.
After landing, the two people stood one foot apart, with their hands empty and their backs facing each other.
“The Emei Sect’s great kindness and compassion, Qianye Shou, is truly worthy of its reputation..."
Mr. Lu said in a deep voice from the east side of the alley, with a gloomy face.
"Qingcheng's Shehe Babu has another descendant. I didn't expect it...ahem..."
Zhu Xiaoqian stood on the west side of the alley, sweat dripping from her forehead, and her physical strength was extremely exhausted.
Just when the two of them finished talking, Zhu Xiaoqian finally couldn't hold on anymore and fell forward. Fortunately, she was supported by the wall and didn't fall down.
On the other side, the leader of the army, Mr. Lu, suddenly fell to the ground and died quietly with blood flowing from his orifices!
He was tall and could block the darts on his upper body, but his lower body was scarred. It was through repeated throwing that Zhu Xiaoqian saw the flaw and hit all the dozen or so darts in the vital parts of his lower body!
"Fortunately, I can catch darts with my fingers and toes, otherwise I really wouldn't be able to stop this guy..."
After checking that the other party was dead, Zhu Xiaoqian took a hard breath and said, "I have to go back quickly, the child is still waiting for me... the news also needs to be sent back..."
She walked out with a staggering pace, but what Zhu Xiaoqian didn't notice was that the leading officer behind him, who was bleeding from all his orifices, staggered to his feet again, and pulled out the hidden weapon inserted in his body...
Blood shines in the sky, comets strike at the moon.
