Ruan Yushu's academic background, how could he not know that this is one of the six magical powers of Buddhism? No wonder he could know the information about Du Wuchang.
The unknown is the scariest thing...
Shang Yi knew that Du Wuchang did not take action this time to kill people, but to shock the heroes in the world and let them know that to protect Lu Guan, they must be careful about their own lives, so as to scare these people away.
Sure enough, in the middle of the night, you could hear someone getting up quietly, stepping out of the room, climbing over the courtyard wall, and escaping quickly.
After the first one, there was a second one, and then there was a third one. In just one hour, nearly twenty people climbed over the wall and escaped.
At dawn, as soon as Shang Yi walked out of the room, he heard Lu Zhongqi's angry voice:
"What a bunch of cowards! They say they are heroic and courageous, but when they encounter Du Wuchang, they piss themselves off and run away with their tails between their legs!"
At this time, apart from a few family members and bodyguards, the only ones left around Lu Guan were Hu Taoist, Jiao Chong and two or three heroes.
Lu Guan looked calm and showed no anger:
"Friends, it is loyalty and honor for Mr. Lu to come to help. It is human nature to worry about oneself and want to leave. It is natural and there is nothing wrong with it."
He solemnly saluted Shang Yi, Hu Daoren and other remaining heroes:
"This trip is dangerous, with a narrow escape from death. Please consider carefully before setting off with Lu."
"Since Pindao is here, life and death have been put aside!" Hu Taoist said impassionedly.
Shang Yi smiled and said:
"It doesn't matter if they leave. There are too many people. It's inevitable that there will be a mixture of good and bad. It will also be a tricky thing if there is a traitor."
Ruan Yushu didn't speak, but nodded slightly, indicating that he wasn't leaving either.
Lu Guan was deeply moved and bowed again: "You are so kind, I will never forget it."
The group of people set off again, but compared to yesterday, the number of people was reduced by 70 to 80%, and there was an indescribable tragedy in the desolation.
On the way, Lu Zhongqi looked at Shang Yi and Ruan Yushu and said with emotion: "I didn't expect that these two young people have the demeanor of ancient chivalrous men. I have troubled you about escorting Commander Lu to Beijing."
Due to the severe reduction in manpower, he had to pay attention to Shang Yi and Ruan Yushu.
The crowd dressed up as merchants and walked out of the city. Soon they arrived in the wild. The number of trees gradually increased, and some of them still had fruits hanging on them.
Since they hadn't eaten for half a day and a night, several family members and heroes couldn't bear it anymore, so they started picking fruits to fill their stomachs. It's impossible for such a natural product to be poisoned, right?
After inspecting the fruits, they tasted one and then returned with it, intending to present it to Lu Guan, Meng Qi and others.
Suddenly, they foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground one by one, their bodies twitched, and in an instant they lost their breath.
Even the natural fruit has been poisoned!
Jiao Chong rushed forward, intending to rescue the man who was still struggling but had good internal strength. But at this moment, three poisonous needles shot out from the forest and hit him in the face.
Jiao Chong was on guard and jumped forward, dodging the poisonous needle.
With a whoosh, a thin blue light shot out from nowhere and hit Jiao Chong's left arm!
Jiao Chong gritted his teeth and drew out his long sword, directly cutting off his left arm. Blood spurted out, and then he hit several large acupoints to temporarily seal the wound.
Du Wuchang is nearby!
Shang Yi looked slightly cold, Du Wuchang wanted to defeat everyone bit by bit!
With a movement of his feet, Shang Yi had already disappeared from the spot, and the next moment he appeared on a pile of earth.
"Since you like bumpkin so much, then don't come out!"
With that said, he stepped down hard with unparalleled power.
"Hmm~~~"
There was a muffled groan from the dirt bag, and then a trace of blood flowed out. Du Wuchang died at Shang Yi's feet, as if he had trampled an ant to death.
Immediately after killing Du Wuchang, Shang Yi appeared next to the poisoned Jiao Chong and others, with bursts of golden Buddha light on his body.
"Sacrifice the Secret of Life!"
Ruan Yushu whispered after hearing this.
I saw the golden Buddha's light shrouding the poisoned people. The poisonous gas on the bodies of several people, including Jiao Chong, was absorbed by the golden Buddha's light and concentrated in Shang Yi's body. In the end, it seemed to have no impact on Shang Yi.
Ruan Yushu took a deep look at Shang Yi and whispered:
"All leaks are open, the body is like glass, there are no leaks all over the body!"
Apparently, he thought that the reason why Shang Yi was able to perform the "Sacrifice Technique" so unscrupulously was because he understood one of the six magical powers of Buddhism, Luo Ji Tong, and had a body of glazed glass, so he was not afraid of external evil!
Lu Guan and others also looked at Shang Yi in shock. They did not expect that such a mysterious and powerful young man would appear in the world. At such a weak age, he could easily kill Poison Wuchang, and he also mastered the mysterious Buddhist secrets!
However, everyone has their own secrets, so Lu Guan and others will naturally not pry into Shang Yi's secrets and harm him.
After piling up the earthen grave, Lu Guan sprinkled some water and regained his determination: "Let's set off."
Although Shang Yi helped several people detoxify, he did not completely help them recover because they still had tasks to follow. He preserved his own vitality. At the same time, he did not want the Sacrifice to be too eye-catching, causing others to covet him and affecting the task.
Therefore, Jiao Chong and other people who were poisoned stayed and let them return home for recuperation. The huge team of twenty or thirty people when they set out now only has five people left: Lu Guan, Lu Zhongqi, Hu Daoren, Shang Yi and Ruan Yushu, and the rest
Escape or die.
However, Shang Yi did not feel bad. If it was convenient, Shang Yi even hoped that he could directly use his divine foot power to bring Lu Guan to his destination. Unfortunately, such an idea was not easy to implement, and the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation would not let him easily complete the task.
.
The peaks are undulating, the mountain wind is cold, and the dilapidated mountain temple is leaking wind from all directions, causing the fire to sway and the shadows to twist and stretch, like an evil ghost with teeth and claws.
Lu Zhongqi ate the freshly baked white flour buns and was fascinated by the dancing flames. After changing the route, several people slept in the open air, went around the city and through the villages, avoiding most of the intercepting experts, and finally arrived at the capital.
However, he did not feel at ease. The closer he got to the capital, the more uneasy he became, as if the calmness of the previous half month was preparing for the stormy waves in the next one or two days.
He had a vague hunch that even Du Wuchang was dispatched. The traitors in the court would never stop here. There must be stronger masters coming, which made him very worried.
Lu Guan sat in front of the fire, holding on to the scroll, eating steamed buns, and reading the military manual. He was calm and composed. He was not in any danger. The enemy might attack at any time. The Taoist Hu couldn't help but secretly praise him. Lu Guan was indeed
A good general who keeps his eyes open even when the deer is on his left!
Thinking of this, Taoist Hu turned his head slightly and looked at Shang Yi, who was sitting cross-legged by the fire with his eyes half open and half closed, and at Ruan Yushu, who was calm and indifferent, playing the piano gently, and sighed in his heart, both little guys are
He is calmer than himself. It is true that the older he gets, the more timid he becomes.
It will be fine after tonight. When we get outside the capital, we can raise the flag so that the traitors will not dare to attack in broad daylight. After all, Marshal Lu was recruited into the capital by His Majesty's personal decree, and there are many people around the capital. As long as someone leaks out,
The news must have caused the whole family to be executed... Taoist Hu comforted himself, took off the long sword from his back, pulled it out with a clang, and stroked it gently.
This Tiger Roaring Sword has been with me for almost thirty years, and I have drank the blood of countless evil people. I hope it can help me tide over the difficulties this time. My own death is not important. If Lu Shuai is robbed, it will be a disaster for all the people in the world.
However, Shang Yi felt that the situation of General Lu Guan was really similar to that of the famous Song Dynasty general Yue Fei. He was equally loyal to his country, but he was also victimized by a traitor.
Suddenly, both Shang Yi and Ruan Yushu looked outside the door. There was a person standing there, a tall man, and a man holding a broad sword in his hand. At some point, he was already standing there, looking at the temple quietly.
Among the people.
"Sword General..." Taoist Hu stood up abruptly, pointed his tiger roaring sword at an angle, his voice was gloomy, and his face was solemn.
Hearing this name, Lu Zhongqi jumped up in fright. It turned out to be Sword General. He was a well-known swordsman across the nine states, only slightly inferior to the evil king and ghost king who were at the top of the human world.
He has profound internal strength, great sword skills, and is fierce and fierce, just like a general charging into battle, so he is nicknamed the Sword General. His strength in frontal combat exceeds that of Du Wuchang by an unknown amount. He once singled out nine first-class masters and defeated them all.
They were all killed by the sword, and both in terms of reputation and performance, they were far superior to the most powerful Taoist Hu on their side.
Shang Yi said coldly:
"You use a sword? Then take my sword!"
As he spoke, he pointed his right hand together to form a sword and pointed at the "Sword General" standing at the door.
A sharp sword energy directly pierced the "Sword General"'s eyebrows, leaving only the "Sword General"'s horrified and fearful eyes.
Lu Guan, Taoist Hu and Lu Zhongqi looked at Shang Yi, who had a dull expression and seemed to have just raised his hand, and then looked at General Jian, who was still staring with his eyes open, feeling fear for his strength.
He raised his hand and used a sword energy in the air to easily kill the "Sword General". There is such a sword technique in the world! There is such a swordsman!
Ruan Yushu also looked at Shang Yi curiously. She had seen the list of people and knew that Shang Yi had powerful swordsmanship, but there was no clue from the sword aura just now. It seemed that he was not a master of any sect.
Taoist Hu originally thought that he had a better understanding of Shang Yi's strength, but now it seems that his swordsmanship is more terrifying than he imagined, and he is probably close to the level of the Ghost King Ruyi Monk.
How old is he? Is there really a natural swordsman?
With Shang Yi here, it seemed that his visit to Beijing was safe! Lu Zhongqi breathed a sigh of relief, nodded gratefully to Shang Yi, ran to General Jian, and leaned over to search for the body.
General Jian was here to kill people, and he was very open-minded, so he only had a bag of dry food, a bag of silver, and a letter with him.
"Not good!" Lu Zhongqi casually opened the letter, took a look at it, and exclaimed.
Taoist Hu asked urgently: "What's wrong?"
Lu Zhongqi's expression was ugly: "The four murderers of the Zheng family wrote the letter to General Jian, and they are also coming to assassinate General Lu!"
"Four brothers of the Zheng family?" Taoist Hu's face changed drastically, and Lu Guan also frowned slightly.
Lu Zhongqi knew that the only one he could rely on now was Shang Yi, so he quickly introduced him:
"Individually, the four villains of the Zheng family are slightly inferior to the Sword General, but they have the secret method of joining forces, and they are used to advancing and retreating together, so they were once included in the level of Ghost King Xiyue Zhenren and others, but later they joined forces to attack the evil king
But he was easily defeated and became his servant, so he was no longer considered a master at this level."
"What are these four ghosts in western Hunan!"
Shang Yi complained in his heart that this was too similar to the painting style of the Four Ghosts of Xiangxi in front of Shen Wansan in the world's best world.
"The most terrifying thing is that the four villains of the Zheng family are currently servants of the Evil Lord. Their actions mean that the Evil Lord is also involved in this matter!"
Lu Zhongqi was in a panic again:
"Brother Shang Yi, Miss Ruan, how about we drive all night?"
Shang Yi shook his head, looked out the door and said:
"It's too late, they are already here!"
Sure enough, when they looked outside the door, they heard bursts of sinister laughter.
With a bang, the door panel was knocked away, and four people rushed in like a whirlwind and stood in front of General Jian.
They have tiger-like heads and fleshy faces. They look almost exactly the same. They all have empty hands.
"It's too late, you don't have time to escape." The one on the far left said with a sinister smile again.
"Because we have arrived." The brother next to him followed.
"As long as we are here, you will all die." The second person on the right emphasized.
"So there is no point in escaping or not." The one on the far right looked around Shang Yi and others proudly.
"He's dead." The Zheng brothers on the far right said as they looked at General Jian's body.
"My martial arts skills were not good enough, so I died." said the second person on the right.
"We are stronger than him, and we will definitely not die." The second person from the left emphasized forcefully.
"You will be the ones who die!" The man on the far left looked at Meng Qi and the others in a conspiratorial manner.
They stood in a strange position, always seeming to be in a semicircle, and they had to speak in a certain order.
Shang Yi looked at the four of them with interest and said:
"Is the evil king coming?"
If the Evil Lord comes, kill them together and directly complete the third mission!
"The master is not here." The eldest brother on the left of the four evil men of the Zheng family replied.
"Because there is no need to come." The second person from the left explained the reason.
"You are not worthy of him taking action." The second person on the right said respectfully.
"We are enough!" The boy on the far right is very proud.
Shang Yi heard this and said:
"That's such a pity!"
Immediately, a golden light flashed in his eyes, and he wanted to use the clairvoyance and destiny power to find the location of the evil king from the four people's past and the line of cause and effect.
However, Shang Yi suddenly frowned, the cause and effect of the evil king was actually covered up, and it was difficult to find the evil king even with his clairvoyance.
"Did the Lord of Six Paths of Reincarnation take action? I wonder which one it is this time?"
Immediately, Shang Yi raised his sword finger, and four daggers the size of his index finger flew out from his cuffs. They were transformed from the feathers of the "Xuanniao" and also had the power of a treasure weapon.
The next moment, Ruan Yushu only saw four white lights flashing away. Each of the four brothers of the Zheng family had a red dot on their eyebrows, and then the four of them lay down straight on the ground.
"Swordsmanship!~~"
"Flying sword~!!??"
Lu Guan and others exclaimed, everyone is painted in martial arts style and are still fighting each other with every move. How come Shang Yi secretly cultivated immortality and actually managed to use a sword to kill people!
With just one move, the four notorious brothers of the Zheng family were so powerful that they lay dead on the spot. From the beginning to the end, they had no power to fight back!
Taoist Hu felt that the shocks he had experienced in his entire life could not compare to today. It was like he was dreaming!
When did the Sword General, whom he could only hope to reach, and the four villains of the Zheng family become like ordinary people, unable to resist Shang Yi's sword at all!
It is said that together they can rival the Ghost King Xiyue Zhenren, but what about Shang Yi alone?
The way he and Lu Zhongqi looked at Meng Qi completely changed. No matter how hard it was to believe, the matter was undeniable. The man in front of them might be the "Sword Immortal" in the future, and he could stand on equal footing with the Demon Queen's Imperial Master and others!
Lu Zhongqi once again searched for the bodies of the four murderers of the Zheng family. Unfortunately, they were so reckless that they had nothing but food on them.
"There is a letter!" When the last person was found, Lu Zhongqi said in surprise. This may be evidence that the traitor in the court ordered the assassination. When it is presented to the Holy Emperor, they will definitely not be able to bear it.
"What's the content?" Lu Guan asked calmly.
Lu Zhongqi checked it, removed the envelope, unfolded it, and his expression changed greatly: "It's a letter from the Evil Lord."
He subconsciously read it out: "Guan's subordinates were reckless, please forgive Lu Shuai. I will come to the door in person in the future. Please wait for Lu Shuai."
The seemingly polite words are full of dominance and confidence, as if to say, I will take your head!
And this was written before the four villains of the Zheng family failed. It seems that he can predict the future!
"It's just a trick to pretend to be a god or a ghost."
Taoist Hu suddenly came to his senses: "The evil king wrote this letter to be prepared. If the four villains of the Zheng family can succeed, the letter will naturally not be seen by us. We can just burn it when we go back. If they miss it, it means that we have someone with him here."
For a master of almost the same level, this letter can disturb the mind."
"You villain from the Demon Sect!" Lu Zhongqi scolded angrily.
After he calmed down, he suddenly sighed: "But at least this means that the evil king will definitely take action."
"yes."
Taoist Hu also let out a long sigh, and the mountain temple became quiet and silent again, with only the sound of the guqin echoing with lofty artistic conception.
