Chapter two hundred and thirteenth night into the water village skillful technique
"Among the water bandits, there are also habitual bandits and new bandits transformed by desperate people.
The size of the village in front of us is neither big nor small, the boats are neither new nor old, and the bandits are old and weak, some are strong, some are excited, and some are nervous and worried.
Could it be that they are real water bandits who have taken some people hostage?
Amitabha, even though the small black letters know everything, there are still hundreds of secrets."
Zhou Yi sat cross-legged at one end of the gorge, stroking his bald head, overlooking the water villages connected in the valley, as well as the water bandits shouting loudly for their wanton enjoyment while boating.
The location he chose happened to have a panoramic view of the entire village.
The raccoon slave on the side followed his example, sitting cross-legged on the cold withered grass, his eyes rolling and meowing.
"You are also very curious as to why the monster brought 'Miss Zhuo' to the water bandits' village."
Zhou Yi stared at the green-skinned monster that stopped by the river valley, feeling that it looked a bit like some legendary monster.
Snapped!
I saw the monster carrying the unconscious "Zhuo Mengyuan" and stepped onto the river. The ripples did not leave, as if walking on flat ground, and in a blink of an eye, they were in the village.
"It's still a land and water monster."
Zhou Yi became more and more curious about the origin of the monster.
His Taoism is not high and his cultivation is not deep, but he can fly on dry land and run swiftly on water.
Fortunately, this big river that flows from north to south has gone beyond the Yuqing River Basin and is the Xiaojing River. Otherwise, Zhou Yi would really have rushed into the Guangyuan County River Temple, pulled out the old yellow croaker and asked if it was the
The mastermind behind the scenes.
Zhou Yi was just thinking when he saw the monster suddenly transformed into a burly man wearing a leather jacket and looking like an iron tower.
When the water bandit who was in charge of guarding the village gate saw it, he quickly ran forward to pay homage to it and called it "Second Master".
"The second master? A monster actually became the leader of the water bandits? Could it be that the mastermind behind the scenes is the master of the copycat village?"
Zhou Yi used his invisibility technique, then jumped into the air, followed the monster, and entered the water village.
It's time for dinner.
The water bandits in the village ate vegetable cakes, even drank wine, played guessing games, and made a lot of noise, making it very lively.
What I saw along the way was that although the water bandits were enjoying themselves wantonly, they were respectful and frightened towards the "second master" transformed by the monster, with a faint look of reverence in their eyes.
The deeper Zhou Yi walked, the colder his eyes became.
Not only because this water village was rich in evil spirits, but also because he saw a high village bamboo house on the side, where hundreds of people in tattered clothes and sallow faces were imprisoned, like animals, sitting crowded on haystacks, in the cold.
She was shivering in the wind, looking humiliated and desperate.
Several water bandits armed with machetes at the door were drinking wine and eating cakes while hurling insults at the people inside.
Judging from their words, they were trying to scare and threaten the newly captured people to prevent them from escaping.
Suddenly at this moment, a water bandit who was already sixty percent drunk, his eyes suddenly lit up.
But in the corner of the crowd, he saw a woman with her head lowered, her face covered with dust, and her body dirty, but she accidentally exposed a section of her white and pink neck.
"Gudu..."
He swallowed, wiped his mouth, and said with greed on his face: "There is actually a little girl with tender skin and tender flesh hidden inside. I have made a profit on this one, hahaha. It is just a good time for me to have a good time before delivery.
.”
The other two water bandits also looked over, their eyes widened.
Snapped!
The vegetable pancake held by one of them fell to the ground.
The young lady in the corner also sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly wrapped her collar tightly, but to no avail. The three water bandits had already pushed aside the crowd with a grin and walked towards her.
A trace of nervousness and guilt appeared in her eyes, and she grasped the hay tightly with both hands.
The downcast faces of several people around also showed signs of urgency, except for a man dressed as a down-and-out Confucian scholar, who looked slightly calm, but his eyebrows were also furrowed.
Voices were transmitted one after another, echoing among several people.
"I was discovered, why were you so careless!"
"Forget it, just kill all these water bandits!"
"It took a lot of effort to sneak in, but then all the previous efforts will be wasted."
"We are only one step away from finding out the backers of this gang of water bandits. The safety of the people in three counties on both sides of the Taiwan Strait is involved. How can it be exposed at this time!"
"Master, please think of a solution quickly. Or you can release the sleepy people who performed before and let them fall asleep."
"This... the sleepy bugs have been used up. Don't worry, I will use magic to immobilize them."
After the man in a gray Qiuru robe finished speaking, he began to mutter something.
But his eyes were wandering, wandering back and forth by the window and door, as if looking for an escape route.
Suddenly, his body trembled, and there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.
In the dark, there seemed to be a touch of Taoist charm, flashing out of thin air in front of my eyes.
In an instant, the rhyme disappeared, as if it had never appeared before, making him feel as if he had lost it, as if it were illusory.
The three water bandits have already walked up to the young lady.
One of them laughed and grabbed the little lady.
The eyes of several people around him showed anger, and they were about to disregard their disguises and kill the bandits.
But then, they were all stunned.
The water bandit who was grabbing the young lady suddenly shuddered, and then quickly backed up, almost hitting another water bandit.
"You...what are you?"
The water bandit pointed at the woman with a horrified look on his face.
The other two water bandits also stopped and were about to scold their companions for making such a fuss, but when they saw the little lady who turned her head, they were stunned, with frightened expressions on their faces, chills in their hearts, and no more thoughts of causing trouble.
I saw that the woman had a face as big as a bowl, with black moles all over her face, thick eyebrows in a line, and a faint blue stubble on her chin.
"There are such ugly women in the world!"
"This is not ugly, it is simply a monster that is both male and female!"
"Bad luck! Let's go! Let's go!"
Seeing several water bandits running away as if they were fleeing, the warriors among the common people breathed a sigh of relief.
Then they all realized something and looked at the Confucian scholar with admiration.
"A master is a master."
"How could the master know such a brilliant illusion? Why didn't you tell me earlier and just make us invisible?"
"Yeah yeah."
"Lin Gaoren, when will you change the little girl back?"
Everyone's heartfelt words of gratitude and admiration rang in his ears, but the Confucian scholar suddenly didn't hear it. He was half surprised and half sad.
He was invited by these gangsters to jointly investigate the strange case of mysterious water bandits kidnapping refugees outside Xichong County.
I thought I was just an ordinary bandit. I could make some money from these generous people in the world and do some good deeds. Why not do it?
But after pretending to be a refugee and being taken into a water village, he vaguely felt something was wrong.
The evil spirit in the village was so strong that it almost caused his old injury to relapse.
I was just thinking of finding a way to say goodbye to this group of passionate people looking for trouble and leave this dangerous place, but now there was an expert who was hiding somewhere, and he used a brilliant illusion to resolve the crisis.
.
It was equivalent to indirectly telling him that the dangers in this village and the hidden power of monsters were greater than he imagined.
At least it's not something he, a practitioner of martial arts who has not yet contemplated souls, can bear.
"Everyone, actually the technique just now was not..."
He was about to tell the truth, to tell these gangsters that someone else was here, so that he could retire...and run away.
Suddenly at this moment, another ray of Taoist rhyme passed by.
In this bamboo house with air leakage everywhere, there is a warm breeze, which dispels the coldness and makes the house feel like spring and summer.
The distressed people who were originally shivering from the cold gradually calmed down.
A burst of quiet and mellow laughter echoed in the ears of Warlock Lin.
"It is a great good deed for you to take the risk and enter this demon stronghold to help these knights save the people in distress. Amitabha, this master, I entrust the safety of the people here to you."
The risk... the demon village... is entrusted to me?
Don't be ridiculous, I, I... I'm just a little warlock passing by for a meal!
Lin Chuan murmured in his heart.
Suddenly, he shivered.
The expert who transmitted the message called himself "Little Monk", which reminded him of the strange incident that happened ten days ago in Guangyuan County, which he never wanted to set foot in again.
For some reason, when the fellow practitioners woke up, they all forgot that the master who could command the Three Directions Temple was a young monk.
Because of an experience in the past, he had no prejudice against monks and even had some sympathy.
But in order not to make himself look too special, he had to pretend that he didn't remember anything.
But now, having just left the unfathomable Guangyuan County, I finally took a breath and entered the demon nest again in the blink of an eye.
The path of our generation is really difficult and unpredictable.
…
"That technique looks familiar to me."
Zhou Yi withdrew his gaze.
He also didn't expect that he would meet here a low-level martial arts cultivator who was summoned by the imperial army with an order during the previous demon-slaying battle in Guangyuan County.
Looking at this situation, it seems that some warriors discovered something was wrong with this group of water bandits, so they disguised themselves and mingled among the refugees, hoping to investigate secretly.
Unfortunately, the level of the undercover agent was very average, and perhaps he was not well prepared.
If Zhou Yi hadn't used magic to turn the girl into the "flower-like" appearance in the movie of her previous life, she would have been exposed this time.
"In order for you to go undercover smoothly, the girl please keep this appearance for the time being, Amitabha... Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, the prefecture lady seems to be still hiding?"
Zhou Yi touched his smooth head, his eyes slightly unnatural.
It's not entirely his fault, it's all because the monster ran too fast.
He was so busy chasing monsters that he forgot to unlock Zhuo Mengyuan's invisibility technique.
Li Nu who was following behind heard Zhou Yi talking to himself and narrowed his eyes as if he was smiling.
At this time, we were already two counties and several counties away from Guangyuan County. It was such a long journey. Even if we could blow it in one breath and break the spell, it would be too energy-consuming.
Fortunately, Zhou Yi saw through the small black letters that Zhuo Mengyuan had already consciously returned to Zhuo Mansion in a carriage, and was wandering around her kitchen like a ghost, skillfully eating bacon and smoked sausage, scaring people into thinking they were being treated.
A thief.
Guangyuan County, which almost fell into chaos, was gradually restored to order by the evening because of the bad handsome Wei Youniang and the mountain god Xiao Qingsu who visited the prefect's mansion and promised to guarantee it.
"Wouldn't they come in handy now?"
Zhou Yi was satisfied in his heart, and with a thought, he put away the small black letters.
Since Miss Zhuo is safe and can be self-sufficient, it won't be too late to wait until she returns home.
At this time, the monster who transformed into the second master of the water bandit had already carried "Zhuo Mengyuan" through the wet gorge and entered a large village built deep in the valley.
Rather than saying it is a village, it is better to say that it is a cave naturally formed in the heart of the mountain. There are strange stalagmites and stalactites everywhere, reflecting the unpredictable halo under the sunset light falling from the mouth of the narrow gorge.
Several water bandits who were responsible for guarding saw the monster and quickly came forward to pay homage.
The leader of the water bandits is actually a martial artist with a sense of energy.
When the water bandits saw "Zhuo Mengyuan" being carried on the shoulders of the monster, greed appeared in their eyes.
Obviously, given their social circle, it is difficult to see a beautiful lady like the prefect.
