Dark clouds covered the sun and the wind blew violently.
In the surrounding woods, the grass and trees are curling up, and dead branches and leaves are flying around. There are also black shadows flashing and passing through, accompanied by ghostly whispers, which are constantly ringing.
The weather that was fine before has suddenly turned into this, which is obviously very abnormal.
The horse that sat down didn't know what it smelled at this moment, or felt the imminent danger, and began to neigh restlessly. No matter how the guard on the horse pulled the reins and whipped the horse, there was still no way to make him sit down.
The horses calmed down.
Qianliju under Li Xiuyuan was slightly better. Although he was not too panicked, he still felt danger and fear.
"Young Master, the horses are no longer obeying orders. If we continue like this, we may not be able to enter the county seat," Tieshan said.
Li Xiuyuan looked up at the sky and said solemnly: "It's normal to be disobedient. There is a saying that Yun Conglong and Feng Conghu are here. When the Black Tiger Lord arrives, the mortal horse will naturally panic when it smells it. It seems that the Black Tiger Lord doesn't want to
Let us escape so easily."
"What should we do?" Tieshan asked.
"What else can we do? Of course we have to fight this Black Mountain Lord. Are you afraid?" Li Xiuyuan turned around and asked.
Tieshan and more than 20 guards looked at each other, and then said in unison: "Don't be afraid."
"Isn't it just monsters? It's not like I haven't seen it before. Didn't the water monster in Dahu Village also die in front of us?"
"Yes, and the evil spirit at the inn that almost killed Li Zhong was also burned to death by us."
"The Polygonum multiflorum essence from Wangchuan Mountain almost ended up in soup if it didn't fall into the hands of the eldest young master."
These guards then pulled out their swords and shouted one by one.
"Okay, what I need most is your energy. Follow me to the open space over there, and we will have a fight with the Black Mountain Lord to see who is more powerful, this thousand-year-old monster, or the steel sword in our hands.
"Li Xiuyuan shouted.
He did not run away, and immediately rushed to a threshing floor in a field with more than 20 servants and his father.
"Sir, don't, don't fight with that Black Mountain Lord. He is very wise and you are no match for him. Let me hold them for a while. Young Master, please run away." Qing'e grabbed Li Xiuyuan's clothes with her claws and shook them.
.
Li Xiuyuan said: "A real man is born between heaven and earth. How can he hide under a woman's dress and live an ignoble existence? He is just a tiger monster. Let's kill him today."
After saying that, he took off the tiger's mouth and swallowed the golden gun, and shouted loudly: "Listen, all the guards of the Li family, today I will join hands with you to kill the demon. If anyone dies in this battle, my Li family will send you a thousand taels for burial expenses, your wife
I, the Li family, will support you, your heir and mother."
"Okay, the eldest young master is benevolent and righteous, and the younger one is willing to do his best."
"I am willing to do my best even if I am young."
"If I die, don't give the thousand taels of silver to my wife. She will definitely run away and find another man. Give it to my wife."
The guards are indeed carefully selected by the Li family over the years. At this critical moment, every one of them is willing to risk their lives, and no one has the idea of backing down.
This is what is called loyalty.
"Okay, everyone dismounts, brings the horses over and puts them on the outside, fastens the reins, and puts the carriage in the middle." Li Xiuyuan immediately ordered.
The guards responded and immediately got ready. They cut a few branches, made wooden pegs, nailed the reins, and stood the horse they were sitting on outside to form a simple barrier.
However, he and others formed a circle around the carriage in the middle, all holding steel knives, bows and arrows, ready for battle.
Li Dafu shouted with red eyes at this moment: "I have kept you guards all these years and provided you with good food and drink. You must work hard for me today. If anything happens to my son, I will definitely not be able to spare you."
"Father, you stay in the carriage and must not come out. Leave everything to the child, and I will be fine." Li Xiuyuan said.
"My son, if the situation goes wrong, you can immediately rush out with your bodyguards. Don't worry about me as a father." Li Dafu said, "You are the only son in our Li family. We cannot lose him."
"Father, don't worry, the child will be fine." Li Xiuyuan comforted him.
At this time Tieshan came over and whispered: "Young Master, didn't we invite the God of Thunder to slay demons before in Dahu Village? Now that the demon wind is blowing, why don't we invite the God of Thunder again."
"Don't think about such an innocent thing. If you don't invite the gods to offer sacrifices, you don't have an altar, and you don't have the rituals to invite the gods, how can you invite the gods? Will the gods come if you open your mouth and call?"
Li Xiuyuan said: "Furthermore, Qing'e said that this Black Mountain Lord's Taoism has surpassed that of the gods in the sky. Even if the Thunder Lord appears, he may not be able to cure it, and even if it can be cured, we don't have this time. We were here before."
When we were in Dahu Village, we waited for almost an hour to pray to the gods, but now that the monster is right in front of us, we couldn't even wait for an hour."
“God cannot be relied upon, and now we can only rely on ourselves.”
"Go and let others guard the carriage. No one is allowed to rush out."
After giving several orders in succession, Tieshan gave up the idea and then immediately went to prepare.
At this moment, the black clouds are pressing over the top, like a mountain of dark clouds, making people breathless.
There was still a strong wind nearby, and ghosts were everywhere, making people feel creepy.
It was still dusk, and the sky was not dark yet, but now the place where Li Xiuyuan and others were sitting seemed to have entered the dark night.
Fortunately, the afterglow in the distance was not blocked, and everyone could still see clearly.
Li Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, but he saw many tigers and wolves in the dark clouds, grinning and baring their teeth, growling and snarling. He glanced at them casually, but he didn't know how many ferocious beasts were hidden inside.
This time, Mr. Montenegro probably spent a lot of money to deal with him.
but......
Li Xiuyuan immediately took the golden goose bow, the arrow hit his finger, stained with a wisp of blood, and raised his hand to shoot towards the dark clouds.
"Wha~!"
An arrow pierced the sky, tearing a hole in the dark clouds as it passed.
From the torn hole, hungry wolves and tigers fell from the clouds, and finally fell to the ground with a heavy thud, falling to death on the spot. Finally, the arrows were exhausted, and they shot
It landed on a hungry wolf and finally fell out of the clouds together with the hungry wolf.
"There are actually tigers and wolves hidden in the clouds." The guard next to him was shocked.
Li Xiuyuan's eyes narrowed.
Sure enough, it was just as he had guessed. The Black Tiger used his magic power to move the tiger and wolf over and hide it in the black clouds.
It's a bit like Goddess Wang's method of transporting ghosts and gods.
But the scale is really scary.
"This number is too large, more than twenty people can't stop it at all." Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, and then said: "Qing'e, do me a favor."
"Master, please give me your instructions." Qing'e immediately ran to Li Xiuyuan's feet and said.
"This is not far from Guobei County. Go and bring me a message to Butler Li, asking him to send people over as soon as possible to support us. We have been attacked by tigers and wolves on the road, and we must not mention monsters, lest they become afraid.
I dare not come." Li Xiuyuan said.
Qing'e nodded.
At this time, a guard next to him said: "Young Master, let me rush out on horseback to report the news. I'm not afraid of death."
"You can't rush out. Only Qing'e can rush out here. If ordinary people leave this grain farm, they will be confused by the ghosts. Let alone asking for help, whether they can reach Guobei County alive is still a question.
." Li Xiuyuan waved his hand.
"I understand, I will definitely bring the news." Qing'e said.
Li Xiuyuan suddenly said again: "Wait a minute, Qing'e, can you protect my father from here?"
"If you just want to protect one person, I can do it." Qing'e nodded.
"Okay, take my father away." After Li Xiuyuan finished speaking, he lowered his voice and said: "You can't use my magic power within three feet of me. You need to stay three feet away from me. Go back quickly. My wealth and life are at stake.
It’s going to fall on you.”
Qing'e was stunned for a moment, then nodded firmly.
She never expected that Li Xiuyuan would trust her so much.
"Don't waste time."
This time Qing'e immediately turned around and got into the carriage and said a few words to Li Dafu.
Li Dafu immediately struggled and said: "I won't leave. If I want to leave, it's my son who will leave. My Li family cannot be separated from the descendants. We cannot be separated from the descendants..."
Li Xiuyuan smiled, did not speak, and just stepped back a distance.
Immediately, Qing'e was able to use her magic power.
In an instant, the father's voice disappeared in the carriage.
Qing'e also disappeared together, and the carriage immediately became empty.
Apparently, Qing'e cast a spell and took Li Dafu away.
