Chapter 4 Counterattack

Almost at the moment when Cheng Laoer threw the cup, Shi Laosan, who was pretending to be a tea guest, and the remaining bandits moved almost at the same time. They each drew their weapons and slashed at the table of the woman in red. Cheng Laoer also drew out his long knife. Join the war group.

The guards were not to be outdone and drew their weapons to face the enemy.

At this moment, a blue flying knife shot out from the backyard and headed straight for the woman in red.

The woman in red was well prepared, and she held the long knife in her hand. The flying knife was nailed to the long knife, and its power remained unabated. She pushed the woman in red back, smashing three wooden tables before stopping. The woman in red stopped. The sword is standing, the tiger's mouth is still trembling slightly.

A young man in purple clothes walked out of the backyard. He seemed to have some regrets on his face, and said to himself: "It seems that we have to fight head-on after all." As he said this, he reached out and took out a talisman from his sleeve, and started to mutter something.

Ever since Chen Lin walked out, the woman in red had focused all her attention on him.

She knew that among all the people here, the only one who could threaten her was this young man in purple. Seeing him casting spells and chanting mantras at this moment, he immediately used Qing Kung Fu to fly up without hesitation, and slashed Chen Lin's face with the long knife in his hand.

Chen Lin, however, was not in a hurry. He made a secret with his right hand and performed a fireball technique. A ball of scorching fire emerged from his fingertips and shot towards the woman in red. This fireball technique is originally an introductory spell for those who cultivate immortality. It can be used against ordinary mortals, but it has little power against people with martial arts skills. However, Chen Lin did not expect this move to hurt the enemy and achieve meritorious service. He just wanted to block it slightly.

Sure enough, the woman in red held a sword in the air to block the incoming fireball, and then used the trend to lead the fireball elsewhere.

But she herself was delayed by this. Almost instantly, Chen Lin over there had finished casting the spell, and a golden copper hammer flew out from the talisman, hovering in the air, full of aura. Chen Lin pinched the magic formula again in his hand, and the copper hammer instantly hit the woman in red.

Dang, Dang, Dang!

In the blink of an eye, the woman in red had exchanged more than a dozen moves with the copper hammer. She felt that the attack angle of the copper hammer was strange and unpredictable, and its power was infinite. It was no less than a seasoned master fighting against her. If she made a slight mistake, , which is the result of sudden death on the spot. In desperation, he had to concentrate on dealing with it, and Chen Lin was also using both hands to control the copper hammer, not daring to be careless at all. The two were in a stalemate for a while.

On the other side, the battle between the bandits and the guards gradually became fierce. Although the bandits were small in number, they were all skilled in martial arts and ruthless in their attacks.

In particular, Cheng Lao Er and Shi Lao San were much better at martial arts than anyone else. There was also an expert on the guard side, who seemed to be in charge and was directing the guards to form formations to meet the enemy. Although the guards were not as good at martial arts as the bandits, they The victory lies in the tacit understanding of cooperation and taking care of each other. Although dangers were everywhere for a while, no one was killed.

Chen Lin couldn't help but feel anxious when he saw that he couldn't attack that side for a long time. He shouted at Cheng Laoer: "Trash, don't you understand that to capture the thief first, capture the king? Take down that little kid first."

The bandits suddenly realized what they were doing. They increased their internal strength and struck fiercely at the beautiful middle-aged woman and the little girl. The guards responded hurriedly, but the bandits ignored them and acted in a desperate manner. The weapons in their hands only pointed at the two targets.

The duty of guarding is to protect the master, not to kill. If these two people are wrong, it will be useless even if they kill all the bandits here. Therefore, they did not dare to attack by force for a while and could only defend. They often focused on one thing at the expense of the other. The bandits got an advantage and attacked even more desperately.

With a pop, a bandit slashed a guard and immediately opened a gap. Seeing the bandit's knife slashing at the little girl, the other guard had to block it with his body, and blood suddenly poured out like a fountain.

The guards severely injured two people in an instant, making it difficult to form a formation. However, the bandits became more and more courageous as they fought. Seeing that a bandit had already rushed past the guard and reached out to grab the little girl, the leader of the guard tried his best to swing away Shi Laosan's sledgehammer, grabbed the little girl with his left hand and pushed it, and the girl was almost in danger. And narrowly escaped the hands of bandits.

The little girl had a pale face. By coincidence, she was pushed in front of Liang Yan. At this time, Liang Yan was also squatting in the corner with his arms and legs, looking trembling.

When Shi Laosan saw the little girl alone, with no bodyguards and only a young boy, she thought this was a God-given opportunity. He immediately used Qinggong and went straight to where Liang Yan was. The guard commander Na willing to give up, caught up with Shi Laosan and drew his sword to chop him.

Shi Laosan turned around to resist, but kept running towards the little girl. He was in front of him in an instant, and grabbed the girl's arm with his left hand.

"If we get this girl, we can use her as a hostage to force the woman in red to submit. Hehe, the first credit this time will go to me!"

Shi Laosan's heart was burning, but he felt a cramp in his lower abdomen for no reason. He looked down and saw a dagger stuck in his lower abdomen.

The hand holding the dagger stretched out from behind the little girl's armpit.

The person who took action was none other than Liang Yan!

At this time, the timid and weak expression on his face had long disappeared, and instead he looked calm.

"You" Shi Laosan only had time to say one word before he was cut in half by the guard commander coming from behind.

At this time, the little girl's face was pale, her lips were biting tightly, and one small hand was grabbing the clothes of the person behind her. Liang Yan patted her gently from behind, and his expression softened slightly, but his little hand never let go.

She was pushed here just now. She was panicking, but she heard a voice from behind saying: "If you believe me, when a bad guy comes to catch you, just pretend to be scared and don't dodge. Let him catch him." , I have my own way."

She was originally scared to death, but when she heard the voice of the person behind her, she felt a little more at ease for some reason. She really stood there without moving, just waiting for Shi Laosan to come and catch him.

Liang Yan already had martial arts skills, but he was not good at it. In a one-on-one fight, he couldn't defeat even an ordinary bandit in this store, let alone Shi Laosan.

But he hid his clumsiness in front of him, and Shi Laosan had the preconception that he didn't know how to do martial arts. In addition, he had to be distracted by resisting the guard commander, so he didn't even take this little kid to heart.

Liang Yan waited for the moment he caught the little girl before taking action. This was when Shi Laosan was complacent and paralyzed. This series of calculations can be said to have taken advantage of the right time and place, and actually led to the death of a generation of reckless bandits.

Chen Lin had been observing the battle situation here. He could not help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that Shi Laosan was about to succeed. But who knew that the situation took a turn for the worse, and Shi Laosan died suddenly on the spot in the blink of an eye. At this time, he had no idea that he had been tricked by this young boy.

This time, he was really furious and roared: "I'm going to kill you!" As he said that, he flicked his sleeve with his left hand and a blue flying knife shot towards Liang Yan.

The woman in red snorted coldly, flicked her left hand towards Liang Yan, and her inner energy came out. Liang Yan only felt a soft inner force pushing himself and the little girl a few inches to the left, and then a blue flying knife came out. It whizzed past a few inches from his ear and shattered the wall behind him.

Chen Lin became even more anxious when he saw that the attack failed.

The woman in red is so skilled, but she can see the flaw in an instant. She swung the copper hammer away, and her figure was like a flying swallow in the sky, coming in an instant. Before anyone arrived, the knife arrived first!

Chen Lin felt a flash of cold light, and his left arm flew into the sky like a kite with a broken string!

"Ah!" With a heart-rending scream, Chen Lin's face twisted, and he flew back. He threw out several talismans with his right hand, some turned into fireballs, and some turned into icicles. The woman in red originally wanted to take advantage of the victory to pursue, But when he was blocked by these talismans, he still stopped.

"How dare you, a mortal, cut off my arm? I will make you irrecoverable!"

Chen Lin looked at the woman opposite, his face twisted. He took out a black bullet from his pocket with his right hand, flicked it straight, and shot it towards him.

The woman in red was alert when he reached into his arms. Seeing that the projectile was coming too fast, she hurriedly drew her knife to block it. But before the knife touched the projectile, the projectile exploded in advance, and a red mist floated out, instantly getting into her mouth and nose.

"Suffer it!"

The woman in red was frightened and urged her internal energy to resolve it. However, when the mist entered her body, she could not muster any energy. Even the internal energy in her body dissipated rapidly. After a while, there was no more internal energy left.

"Hey, how does this drunken immortal feel? Let alone you, even if the cultivator comes, you have to lie down for me!"

This Drunk Immortal was originally the secret treasure of the Chen Lin family. When he knew that he could no longer stay in the family to cultivate immortality, he spent most of his wealth to get this one from the family's entrustment, just to save his life in the future.

When I think about the fact that my biggest trump card will be gone in the future, plus the revenge of killing my arm. Chen Lin's heart almost burst into flames.

"Hey, don't worry, I won't make it easy for you. Do you think you can be freed by death?"

"No, I want you to kill the people around you one by one in front of you! Then I will reward you to my brothers and let them humiliate and torture you. When they get tired of playing, they will kill you with one knife after another. Before you After you die, I will extract your soul, make your body naked, and hang it at the gate of Yuncheng for everyone to see. Then I will suppress your soul in my spiritual weapon, and make you suffer all kinds of torture, and you will never be reincarnated. ! Hehe, Xiaonizi, you can’t even imagine the methods of the Xian family!”

These words were said with unprecedented viciousness. Even though the woman in red was so proud, she couldn't help but feel frightened and her body was shaking uncontrollably.

At this moment, there was a roar out of thin air in the backyard of the teahouse. Under this roar, everyone's liver and gallbladder were splitting, as if a ghost and a god were calling for their lives.

Everyone looked towards the backyard and saw an inner guest room with the door open, but there was no one inside.

In the midst of surprise, he turned around and found that there was someone else in the lobby at some point.

This man was dressed in gray cloth monk clothes, with a face as heavy as a jujube, eyes as big as a child's fists, yellow teeth covered with bloodshot eyes, his hands and arms covered with strange runes, and exuding waves of frightening aura.

At this time, he was holding the lapel of Chen Lin's clothes with his left hand and making a fist with his right hand and swinging it backward. Chen Lin was captured by his gaze, and his body seemed to be suppressed by Mount Tai, unable to move at all. It was impossible to say a word or even take a breath. His face had already turned the color of pig liver.

Liang Yan took a breath. He was very sure that this person was the old monk who saved him, but his appearance changed drastically at this moment. If he hadn't seen the monk's clothes on him, he would have believed it even if he was told that this was a ghost from hell.

Chen Lin's throat rumbled, as if he wanted to say a few words of begging for mercy. But the old monk didn't give him this chance. He punched out with his right hand, and with a "bang!", Chen Lin's whole body turned into a ball of blood mist and dissipated between the sky and the earth.

The old monk punched out, as if all his anger had been vented, his breath dropped rapidly, and he instantly transformed back into the old monk with a withered face and dying, clasped his hands together, and whispered the Buddha's name.

At this time, everyone in the hall regained their ability to move. When the bandits saw the monk's power, they were already heartbroken. They dropped their weapons and kowtowed as if they were pounding garlic. The bandits kowtowed for more than ten times before helping each other and fleeing for their lives.

In the teahouse lobby, which had been in chaos just now, only the group of women in red, Liang Yan and others were left.

As early as when the old monk appeared here just now, the woman in red felt the zhenqi surge in her body, instantly dispelling the intoxicating drug of the drunken god, and her body regained its freedom.

She took a deep look at the old monk and said slowly: "I had known that the Buddha was also angry, but when I saw it today, it was indeed the angry eyes of Vajra that made ghosts and gods frightened!"

Seeing that the old monk was still standing there, with his hands clasped and his eyes lowered, he had no intention of answering her. Then he smiled bitterly, cupped his fists and said, "Little girl Lin Ziqing, thank you so much for saving me today."

After saying that, he gritted his teeth and walked towards the little girl. When she checked carefully, he found that the little girl was just frightened and nothing serious. Then he felt relieved and touched her head lovingly.

Then he turned his eyes and asked Liang Yan, "Little brother, what is your name?"

"Liang Yan."

"Well, thank you for rescuing me twice today. If you don't mind, you can call me Aunt Qing." He took out a jade pendant and handed it to him and said, "If you come to the capital in the future, you can use this to come to me. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help."

Liang Yan shook his head and pushed the jade pendant back to her and said, "Helping you means helping me. If I stand by and watch, I will die in the end."

Lin Ziqing's eyes became even more appreciative when she saw that he actually refused to take credit.

Seeing that Liang Yan refused to accept the jade pendant, the little girl on the side became more and more anxious. She took the jade pendant from Lin Ziqing's hand and stuffed it directly into Liang Yan's hand.

"Just let him accept it, Aunt Qing! He saved my life. I almost thought I was going to die here just now."

He turned to Liang Yan and said: "Brother Liang, just accept it. You must come to the capital to play with me in the future. By the way, my name is Liu Wanrou, you can call me Wan'er. By the way, my father is very rich. Yes, I can buy you anything you want to eat. There are many fun places in the capital. When you come, I will take you to play. If you are tired, you can rest at my house."

It was as if he had never said so many words in one breath, and he seemed to have said everything he knew in one breath. At the end of the sentence, his face turned red and he gasped slightly.

Lin Ziqing patted Wan'er's back lovingly, rolled her eyes at Liang Yan, and said, "Just accept it. This is Wan'er's gift to you. You can be considered friends now. Friends give gifts to each other." Gifts are also normal.”

Liang Yan scratched his scalp, then smiled freely and said: "That's right!"

"It's a pity that I accepted your gift, but now I have nothing to give you. If we meet again in the future, I will definitely give you a gift in return."

Wan'er nodded heavily after hearing this.

Lin Ziqing suddenly remembered something, and asked with a strange look on her face: "How did you find out?" This sentence had no beginning or end, and Wan'er on the side couldn't help but ask: "What did you find out?"

Lin Ziqing seemed to be extremely patient with Wan'er, holding her hand and saying, "If he hadn't reminded us that the tea is poisonous today, I'm afraid we would have suffered a tragedy."

Wan'er's big eyes widened and she asked curiously: "Did Brother Liang remind us? But why didn't Wan'er hear it?"

Lin Ziqing smiled slightly, "You don't understand the hint he gave. At that time, he brought the tea set. There were three tea cups in it, and one of them was upside down. This fits the proverb in my hometown Bianzhou, 'tea cup is upside down' , "Antong Tongqu", which means there is something fishy hidden in this tea."

As she spoke, Lin Ziqing turned to Liang Yan and asked, "Am I right?"

Liang Yan nodded silently.

"But what I'm curious about is, how did you find out that I'm from Bianzhou?" Lin Ziqing then asked.

Liang Yan glanced at her and said, "Because of the red rope on your ankle."

"That's all?"

"When I was a child, my father took me to Bianzhou to do business. The folk customs there are conservative. When a woman reaches adulthood, she will tie a red string on her head to indicate that she can get married. I see that you have advanced martial arts, which is different from ordinary women. I guess You tied the red string around your ankle in defiance of etiquette. Alas, I had no choice but to take a chance."

Lin Ziqing took a deep look at him and felt that this child was really weird and abnormal and could not be treated with common sense. I wanted to ask him something more, but suddenly a Buddha's call came from behind.

"Amitabha, Liang Yan, come with me."
