Chapter 140 Bandits
?
Linghu Chong looked at the corpse on the ground in a daze, and asked with a little dissatisfaction: "Junior brother, why did you do it all of a sudden?"
Huang Chao grinned: "I'm here for | Hello."
"Master once talked about the five evil spirits of the Central Plains. Although they are not members of the Demon Cult, they are also very cruel and vicious. They kill and rob, and leave no one alive. They have committed many tragedies." Huang Chao looked at Linghu Chong jokingly, "I I am afraid that if you are moved by senior brother and say that you want to let the other party go, if I kill him at that time, wouldn't it be trapping you in injustice?"
Linghu Chong shook his head and laughed: "You're still doing it for me? I really can't argue with you, so I just open my mouth to tell you the truth." Huang Chao read a lot since he was a child, and Linghu Chong and his arguments have never been better. However, he had to admit in his heart that he really felt that the other party was a hero just now, and thought that since he repented, let him go.
"But he was quite regretful in his words just now..."
Huang Chao opened his sleeves with his sword. On Xia Liang's arm was a delicate bamboo tube. Linghu Chong's face changed slightly when he saw it. This is a common life-saving method in the Jianghu. Xia Liang still has the strength to strike, but there are two people on his side that let him keep a low profile to save his life.
If he really put it together, if he doesn't notice it for a while, he may be tricked. The Poisonous Hand Shashen is good at using poison, and the hidden weapon inside may have also quenched the poison.
Huang Chao pointed to the bamboo tube and said to Yue Lingshan: "Don't let your guard down. In this situation, we killed four of his brothers. As long as there is a chance, he will definitely kill one of us. It will be too late for revenge."
Linghu Chong's face turned red when he heard this, and he knew that what Huang Chao told Yue Lingshan was actually talking to himself, and he just saved some face for the elder brother.
"Hmph, it's really an evil method." Yue Lingshan scolded disdainfully, looking down on the other party's humble behavior. She was influenced by Yue Buqun.
Huang Chao shook his head: "They are here to kill people, and those who can kill people are good means. We righteous people have to pay attention to face in public, and others don't care. But at critical moments, life-saving is the most important thing."
They packed up the corpses and buried them in the field nearby. Huang Chao collected the exquisite hidden weapons carried by Yan Zhi, and took off Xia Liang's bamboo tube to try it out.
One press of the machine spring can shoot eighteen poisonous needles, which are very powerful at close range. Against a master, although it may not be possible to hit the opponent, it can also surprise the opponent at critical moments. What's more, the green light on the needle is crystal clear, obviously there is a superior poison. Huang Chao touched it lightly with his finger, and his fingertips felt slightly numb given his physique, so one can imagine its power when it penetrates into the human body.
"This is the second of the three black technologies in the world of martial arts, hidden weapon barrels and poisons. The other is naturally healing medicines. They are all performances that are against the sky, completely surpassing the world's technological standards and productivity.
"
He carefully removed the poisonous needle, wrapped it up for storage, replaced it with an ordinary needle, and gave the bamboo tube to Yue Lingshan. The reason why the needle was changed was that Yue Lingshan would accidentally hurt herself, and the main reason was that Yue Buqun could not tolerate the disciple using poison...
Therefore, the name of Junzijian is still very stressful. Yue Buqun couldn't tell his disciples, you can use it at ease, as long as your hands and feet are clean. After all, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. Once exposed, his hard-won reputation will be ruined.
Holding the bamboo tube, Yue Lingshan was overjoyed, like a child who got a toy gun and kept aiming at the side of the road to pretend to fire. She is the daughter of a Jianghu sect, so she naturally likes these weapons and objects, unlike the ladies of the great ladies, who love piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and composing and reciting poems.
"Didn't dad say that the five evil spirits of the Central Plains are very powerful and let us stay away from them far away. I didn't expect these people to be vulnerable." Yue Lingshan rested for an afternoon, finally regained her spirits, and started talking again.
Linghu Chong smiled wryly: "Junior Sister, it's not that the enemy is weak, but that Brother Chao is strong in martial arts. He's already a master of the rivers and lakes in the first grade."
He looked at Huang Chao with a little admiration: "Junior has been practicing hard on the mountain, and never wastes time. Even if you deal with chores, it is actually a practice. I am as old as you, and I go to play every day thinking about completing tasks. Junior brother, you now His martial arts are probably far superior to mine."
He dared not say a word, worried about being disrespectful to his master, but he felt that Huang Chao's martial arts might not be weaker than his master's.
The Five Absolutes of the Central Plains are rampant in several provinces, and it is the territory of the Five Sacred Sword Sect and Shaolin Wudang. However, they are arrogant and vicious, but they have not been eliminated. Naturally, they have their abilities. Even if Yue Buqun meets five people, he can only guarantee that he is undefeated. However, all five of them were killed by Huang Chao. Linghu Chong could imagine that Huang Chao would have a great reputation after that.
Of course, it was also related to the five people's contempt for Huang Chao. Although they didn't show it on the surface, they still didn't care about a thirteen-year-old kid. If facing famous masters, they must first seek to protect themselves and not think about killing people. In this case, Huang Chao may not have the opportunity to defeat them one by one.
Yue Lingshan remembered that Huang Chao's last sword technique was the "Jade Nineteen Swordsmanship" taught to her by Ning Zhongze, so she asked: "Second senior brother, there are many things I don't understand about the Jade Girl Nineteenth Swordsmanship, please teach me quickly." I...how should I use this move, why can't I use all my strength..."
Talking and laughing all the way, until the sun slanted to the west, and a large sunset glow appeared in the sky.
Linghu Chong looked at the west and said, "It seems that the weather is fine these few days."
He pointed in one direction with his finger: "There is smoke from cooking over there, there must be someone living there. We happened to go there to spend the night, saving the cost of sleeping in the wild." Even if there is a firewood house to live in, it is better than living in the wild. What's more, it must be a large village with dense cooking smoke over there, maybe there is a hotel.
As several people approached, they found that a line of smoke was a little thicker, not the smoke from cooking, but more like a column of smoke from a fire.
The three of them walked in cautiously to observe, and it turned out that it was a village, and a yard at the entrance of the village was on fire, including several houses.
An old man with gray hair was crying loudly at the door, and two fellow countrymen supported him to prevent him from rushing into the fire. Sometimes the old man looked at the fire scene, and sometimes he fell to the ground and shouted: "My son!"
Only then did Huang Chao and the others discover that there was a man's body on the ground.
There was no enemy situation, so they dismounted to inquire about the situation. A villager with a weather-beaten face said: "This God is not open. His family was thieves, the whole family is gone, and only the old man is left. The old man's son is usually a brave man in the village, and he is very grateful to everyone. I don’t know how I offended him, but a group of thieves rushed in, killed and set fire to his house, and took his granddaughter away. Now there is only one old man left, and the house has been reduced to ashes, and there is no way out for him in the future.”
Huang Chao frowned, and didn't complain about the other party's blaming God.
The most hateful thing is of course these thieves. They inquired about the situation with several people and understood the tragedy of it. The old man's family was not rich, but it became the primary target of thieves' looting. Although other families also suffered disasters, at least they did not lose their family members.
People are still there, and everything can be repeated. But the old man has no family.
Linghu Chong bristled with anger, while Yue Lingshan's eyes were reddened by the tragedy in front of her, and she almost shed tears.
Linghu Chong grabbed the person who told them the news before: "When did the gang of thieves leave and in which direction, do you know their lair?" The person was in pain and cried out.
"Young man, let go and crush the villain to death. This group of thieves is located in Luoxia Mountain, twenty miles to the west. They have robbed the surrounding villages and pedestrians all these years. ..."
People noticed that the three newcomers had outstanding temperament, especially the leading young man looked like ordinary people. The three of them wore swords, just like the people in the Jianghu. After talking about the situation, the person begged, "Young Xia, please help me. I don't want to avenge us. I just want you to rescue Xiaohua. She is only fifteen years old, so she can't be ruined by thieves."
The crowd knelt down to beg one after another, Huang Chao and the three helped up one and then knelt down the other, they were very busy.
Huang Chao and the others were wearing Huashan costumes. Although everyone in the crowd recognized them, they couldn't pass them on to the knowledgeable people. The three of them were duty-bound to do this kind of thing, Linghu Chong cupped his hands and said, "Fellow folks, please get up, we will definitely save them, and please don't kneel down, we juniors can't afford it."
Huang Chao pulled up the person who spoke before, asked about the situation of the thief, and some other people added, he said: "It's not too late, let's set off right away. Let's go together."
Although there were many thieves, none of them were masters of the five evil spirits of the Central Plains. Huang Chao was also confident in ensuring Yue Lingshan's safety, so he was worried about leaving her behind.
As for Linghu Chong, Huang Chao believed in his ability, if something went wrong, he really deserved it.
The three rode out of the village on horseback, out of everyone's sight, Huang Chao said: "You take my horse, I'll go and look for it first."
Yue Lingshan said in surprise: "Second senior brother, you have to use lightness kung fu to get to the front, are you too tired?" She saw Huang Chao's figure flying away all the way, the loess road only brought up slight dust, He had no choice but to shut his mouth slightly dissatisfied.
Linghu Chong secretly sighed in his heart: "Junior brother is certainly talented, but hard work is the key. These days he has been practicing lightness kung fu on the road, so he can be so easy now. I am not as good as junior brother, can I be lazy than him?"
Linghu Chong was originally a genius, with outstanding understanding and a lazy temperament, but he has been living in the shadow of Huang Chao, and he only feels that he is very ordinary. At this moment, he was greatly stimulated and decided to practice hard in the future, which was actually an unexpected result for Huang Chao.
If Huang Chao knew, he would be happy too. He and Linghu Chong grew up together and never fought. On the one hand, Huang Chao is mature, and on the other hand, Linghu Chong is trying to be a good brother, which makes Huang Chao very useful.
At this moment, Huang Chao started with all his strength, and he felt that the scenery on the side of the road was stretched into an afterimage and receded quickly. He activated his internal energy to protect his body, allowing his breathing to return to normal, and his eyes were not obstructed.
Only experienced a big battle at noon, but at this time Huang Chao's eyes were not tired, only surging killing intent.
