"Let's go out of the city!"
A cold female voice sounded from the sedan chair.
"Yes, girl."
Several bearers carried Vermilion Bird Avenue with smiles on their faces.
They were in a particularly good mood. They just got a good job as soon as they left the stall, so they were very lucky.
A full ten taels of silver were sent to Wang Family Village outside the city. She was still a frail young lady, so it was extremely easy for them.
But after getting on the sedan, the young lady asked them to carry her to City God Temple first, saying she wanted to burn incense before returning to her parents' home.
However, City God Temple didn't know what happened. The officers and soldiers blocked the street and prevented them from entering, so they could save some time.
After leaving Chang'an City, the crowds gradually became sparse.
The leader of the sedan chair thought of the graceful figure of the young lady on the sedan chair, and couldn't help but feel hot in his heart. He smiled and said, "Little lady, why are you going back to your parents' home alone? Your husband won't accompany you?"
There was silence in the sedan chair, and the voice became softer and colder than before, "My husband has passed away."
"Oh, I'm so rude."
The leader of the sedan chair sighed again, "Then you should ask someone to accompany you at home. It's the Chinese New Year and the road is very windy and slippery."
The woman in the sedan said sadly, "Now there is only one person left in the family, living alone Chang'an, with no one to rely on, and my parents' family doesn't want to see me..."
The leader of the sedan chair was heartbroken, turned his head and gave a wink, and then said, "Little lady, the road ahead is slippery, I'm afraid it may be a little shaking, please be patient."
Several waiters immediately understood and began to twist their waists and swing their legs.
In the play, this is called "carrying a sedan chair". It is accompanied by the suona playing back and forth, the bearers twisting the sedan chair, and the corners of the sedan chair twisting along with them, making it look festive.
But it was just a show, there wasn't even a sedan.
If it were a real sedan chair, it would be a real hardship.
The sedan swayed left and right, the curtains swung back and forth, and the bearers twisted their waists loosely and made faces at each other.
They know what the head means.
If you usually do this trick, it means that the reward is too little. If you want to sit comfortably, you have to pay more.
Of course, they also watch what others order.
This little lady is lonely and helpless. She can't help but get out of the sedan later. If she teases her a little, they will accomplish something good.
Inside the sedan, White-Clothed Concubine was bumping up and down, but her buttocks were stuck to the seat and her body did not move.
A sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth, and murderous intent grew in her eyes.
Finally, the bearers began to realize something was wrong.
Their shoulders were sore from the jolt and their legs were weak, but the people in the sedan didn't say a word. Maybe there was something wrong.
Thinking of this, the leader of the sedan chair gave a look, and several people immediately raised their feet and said at the same time, "Little lady, the road is peaceful, we can reach Wang Family Stronghold at noon."
"No, just stop here."
The woman on the sedan suddenly spoke.
"Ah, here..."
Just as the bearer leader was about to speak, he saw several people walking out of the woods nearby, including a fat man who looked like a soldier, and a swordsman with a fierce look on his face.
The leader even had scars on his face, like an evil ghost.
"Run!"
The head bearer's scalp exploded, and he turned around and ran away.
Poof!
As soon as he turned around, a soft sword stretched out from the curtain and penetrated his neck directly.
The remaining three bearers did not escape either.
At some point, an old man appeared from behind, wearing a sheepskin coat and Dog-Skin Hat on his head. He had thin features, sinister eyes, and a hooked nose.
It is Niubeiliang, Old Dragon Stronghold Master Long SanJiu.
He was holding a long knife in his hand, and without looking at it, he slashed left and right, and when he sheathed the knife, the three corpses fell to the ground with a thud.
At the same time, White-Clothed Concubine also slowly got off the sedan and greeted Long SanJiu with a blessing, "I have seen Brother Long."
However, Long SanJiu's eyes were very dissatisfied, "Hua Lian, although you are from Swallow Gate Bewitching Black, you must also follow the rules and don't cause trouble at will."
"What's going on in the city?"
"Brother Long, don't be weird."
White-Clothed Concubine Hua Lian apologized first, and then said, "The leader has been taken into City God Temple. Judging from their arrangement, they just want to lure us to save people."
At this moment, another group of people also came over.
The scar-faced young man in the lead was Fire Ghost who killed Zhou Pan with a firearm. He looked ferocious at this moment and said in a deep voice, "The leader was caught to protect us. We must save him no matter what!"
"Fire Ghost brothers, don't worry."
Manager Wu, Xianyang City Jinbao Gambling House next to him, advised, "Of course we have to save him, but it is obviously a trap. We must find a safe way."
"Hmph!"
Fire Ghost exploded when he heard this. He turned around and angrily said, "The leader is in danger, but you are hesitant. Could it be that you have two minds?"
Manager Wu was stunned, and anger rose in his eyes, "Fire Ghost, don't bite people, everyone here is an old man, who didn't join the religion earlier than you?!"
"So what if it's early?"
Fire Ghost sneered, "The leader sent people to Chang'an to cause trouble and attract attention, so why did Bai RuoXu detain the people and not do anything?"
"If it weren't for him, how would the leader have been caught?"
Manager Wu was speechless, not knowing what to say.
They were the only Maitreya Sect disciples near Guanzhong.
Although they are all under the jurisdiction of DuGu Gan, they are also divided into three groups.
The first group is Niubeiliang Old Dragon Stronghold Master, Long SanJiu. Originally, they were the ruthless people in Guanzhong Road. During the Maitreya uprising, they were also one of the participants. Later, they escaped and fell into the grass on the mountain, waiting for the opportunity...
They are the second group.
Led by Bai RuoXu, the leader of Yahang Hall, with the help of gang power, he lurked in Chang'an Xianyang and other cities to raise funds and collect intelligence.
The third group is Fire Ghost and White-Clothed Concubine Hua Lian. Both of them were saved by DuGu Gan personally. They are grateful and follow them to do things.
DuGu Gan This incident makes it difficult to hide the contradictions between each other.
"Stop arguing!"
The oldest Long SanJiu scolded, then looked at Manager Wu, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Wu, although brother Fire Ghost is said to be violent, he is right. What does that boy Bai RuoXu mean?"
Manager Wu said quickly, "I have asked about this matter, I really don't blame Hall Master Bai."
"Before that, he accidentally got some clues that the traitor Zhao Changsheng's men were lurking in GuoDu Town, so he asked Fazi to lure a few Daoist magicians there, and it turned out to be Zhao Changsheng Dark Hall."
"No one knows what this traitor wants to do, so be careful."
"In addition, because of the Drum King Assembly incident, many experts have come to the city. If they act recklessly, they will all be wiped out."
"Oh."
After hearing this, Long SanJiu's face remained unchanged and he said calmly, "In that case, it's understandable. How about Manager Wu go to the city and inform Bai RuoXu and ask him to come to meet us outside the city tonight?"
Manager Wu felt something in his heart and cupped his hands and said, "Just follow Brother Long's instructions."
He knew that this was a test...
"I heard that the people from the Enforcement Hall are back?"
As soon as he returned to the small courtyard, Sha LiFei hurriedly came up to ask.
Li Yan was stunned, "Aren't you tinkering with those things at home? How come you are so well-informed?"
Sha LiFei looked embarrassed and touched his head, "Um, didn't you allow me to buy gunpowder on the black market? I went to find someone to buy 'Medicine-Powered Puppet' and I happened to hear about it."
Li Yan laughed dumbly, "It seems that Uncle Sha is holding it back."
"Medicine-Powered Puppet" Song Era has been passed down to this day. It is a "wase skill" that integrates fireworks, weaving, paper-cutting, carving, painting, puppets and drama.
There is a lot of gunpowder in this thing.
Although it is a bit more expensive, Lantern Festival is coming, and buying some "Medicine-Powered Puppet" will not attract anyone's attention.
"Just be careful."
Li Yan didn't pursue the matter any further. He called Wang Dao Xuan who had just gone out, returned to the house, and told the story of the cause and consequences of the incident.
Others don't need to tell, but these two friends who have a life-long friendship must know to avoid trouble in the future.
"That's it..."
Sha LiFei suddenly realized. "No wonder Xianyang Divine Fist Society is competing for this stall, but your father went to Chang'an to take over the job."
"What a coward, this Zhao Changsheng is a bit evil. It makes my brain tense up after hearing it. Yan XiaoGe, please don't do anything stupid."
"That's natural."
Li Yan nodded and said, "Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect gives Tai Xuan Orthodox Sect a headache. I can't deal with him. Even Returning Yang One would probably have a hard time getting close to him."
Wang Dao Xuan also stroked his beard and said, "This person's feet have been scratched. The imperial court will definitely take it seriously. How can he be allowed to do it again Xiaoyao?"
"Pindao's concern is another matter. Enforcement Hall arrested Tomb Snake, and it must be to lure Maitreya's associates to show up. I'm afraid it's not safe these days."
"Hmm."
Li Yan said thoughtfully, "The Daoist priest is right. You should be careful these two days. It's best not to get close to that area Guangde Ward..."
As he was speaking, he suddenly frowned and looked outside.
At the same time, there was a knock on the door.
After leaving the room, Sha LiFei opened the door and took a look, suddenly smiling, "Hong Jie, he said he was going to come to see you."
The person coming is none other than Red Yaksha.
Accompanying us is the proprietress Feng FeiYan.
"Happy New Year to you all."
Red Yaksha smiled heartily, then shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I have been practicing the secret teachings of the master sect recently, and I just came to pay New Year's greetings."
"Hong Jie You're welcome, we should go."
Li Yan said politely, and then asked with interest, "Hong Jie has practiced it? Can you let me see it for a while?"
What he said was Red Yaksha and Noon Demon Slayer Sword.
The previous battle with Fire Bear Gang was for this magic weapon. After Red Yaksha got it back, he practiced hard day and night. Li Yan was very curious about the power of this magic weapon.
"That's natural."
Red Yaksha didn't hesitate and directly drew the long sword from behind.
This Bingzhan Demon Sword is not small in size. The blade is a palm wide and half a foot longer than the ordinary Treasure Sword. However, in the hands of the tall Red Yaksha, it is just right.
On the hilt of the sword, there is a small circular Tai Chi figure. It looks like it runs through both ends. It is not just a decoration.
Zi is the most yin time of the day, and noon is the most yang time.
Therefore, Ziwu also means Yin and Yang.
"My sect has two unique skills in demon-slaying swords."
With Treasure Sword in hand, Red Yaksha's aura suddenly changed. His eyes were full of Solemn and Killing Intent's aura, and he said in a deep voice, "The first one is to slay demons with Yang Gang's aura!"
As he spoke, he held the sword in his right hand, made a secret gesture with his left hand, stepped on Gang Step, and waved the long sword in his hand.
Hu~
The sword light flashed like electricity, and a strong wind suddenly rose around him.
The snow and fallen leaves are rolled up together, which is really beautiful.
"Okay!"
Li Yan's eyes suddenly lit up after seeing it.
He could smell the Treasure Sword in Red Yaksha's hand, the hot Gang Qi rising, even carrying Incense Divine Firmness.
The snow and fallen leaves flying around are caused by the spread of Gang Qi and have no power.
But Treasure Sword, combined with his unique sword technique, has vaguely formed a certain "power", similar to his Three Talents Demon Suppressing Coin blessing, but obviously more powerful.
Yin objects are evil and will disappear with just one blow.
Red Yaksha held up a sword flower, pointed the sword at the blade, and made a buzzing sound, "This is the Yang Sword, Gang Qi penetrates it. Ordinary monsters and zombies can be killed with one sword!"
"Of course, the real killing move is the Yin Sword!"
After saying that, he flicked his arm and pointed the sword to the sky.
Clang!
The roar of the dragon sounded.
But he saw the central section of the Ziwu Sword turning into a small sword and whizzing out. With the cold sword light, it plunged into the stone bench in the courtyard with a pop.
It's a bit similar to rope darts, but not that simple.
The sword blades Yin Energy are gathering together, and it is very cold.
"The Yin Sword can cut off the soul!"
Red Yaksha said something and then pulled it suddenly.
Buzz buzz!
The Tai Chi diagram on the hilt of the sword rotates rapidly, but it is an ingenious mechanism. There is also a thin thread connected to the small sword, which can be directly withdrawn and returned to the sheath with a clang.
"Good baby!"
Li Yan couldn't help but admire it.
The Yang sword is good at killing monsters, and the Yin sword is good at destroying souls.
If you practice it skillfully, it is indeed a sharp weapon for killing monsters.
Not only that, this sword is a melee weapon, and its mechanism is also extremely sophisticated, and he can't even see how it works.
Refining this Treasure Sword definitely costs a lot of money.
No wonder it became the Demon Hunter inheritance magic weapon.
Sha LiFei also widened his eyes and flattered him. "Hong Jie, that's amazing. Is this the legendary flying sword of yours?"
Red Yaksha laughed dumbly, "Feijian is not like that."
Li Yan heard the smell, "Hong Jie, have you ever seen a flying sword?"
Red Yaksha sheathed his sword, pondered for a moment, and said, "Have you ever seen the 'iron sword swallowed by mouth' and 'iron pill swallowed by mouth' by Jianghu artists?"
"Of course I've seen it before." Li Yan nodded and replied.
Jugglers often play this thing. Some of them are fake and use machine swords and Ancient Magic Trick to deceive others, but some of them are real skills.
He had witnessed real kung fu in his previous life. He could swallow an iron pill as big as a walnut, get stuck in his esophagus, and then use the power of his chest and abdominal diaphragm to forcefully eject it two meters high.
Of course, practicing this thing is very difficult, and it is also very common in juggling, so you can only make ends meet to support your family.
"The real flying sword is somewhat similar..."
A trace of nostalgia flashed in Red Yaksha's eyes, "When my master was here, he took me to travel around the world. Once I took a job and went to a village in the middle of Sichuan to kill a zombie demon."
"We set a trap and took advantage of the evil thing to attack people in the middle of the night. We severely injured it but did not kill it. It escaped into the mountains of Sichuan..."
"My master and I followed all the way and finally found the trace, but the corpse demon has become spiritual and is very cunning."
"When he was about to escape, a man appeared on the mountain in the distance. He sprayed iron pellets from his mouth and turned into a small sword. With a twist like a horse, the corpse demon and the big tree behind him were directly broken into two pieces!"
"After the Daoist slayed the demon, he left directly. My master and I found out that we had met an expert. We searched for him in the mountains for several months without any trace, so we had no choice but to return to Chang'an..."
"When I told people about this after I came back, they all said that my master and apprentice were dazzled. Since then, the master has been a little absent-minded. He often leaves alone for several months, and eventually something happens..."
After hearing what he said, everyone looked at each other in shock.
"Is there really a swordsman?"
Sha LiFei was stunned and looked in disbelief.
Li Yan shook his head and said, "Maybe it's some secret inheritance. There are many experts in the world, but I don't have enough knowledge."
When he said this, he had already thought of a kind of people:
God Ascender!
Feng FeiYan on the side was absent-minded. Suddenly he saw the disassembled "Medicine-Powered Puppet" in the distance and said doubtfully:
"Hey, it's such a good puppet, why did you dismantle it?"
