…………
At the end of the uphill road, a dozen armed soldiers suddenly appeared in front of them. Zha Biao and the others stopped their mounts, and Lin Yi stopped the carriage and watched.
Zeng encountered a change on the way, and Zha Biao did not dare to be careless. After looking at it for a while, he and his two companions felt relieved. When the three of them jumped off the tiger jun and faced them, they found that they were indeed a group of soldiers on official duty.
"What business do you have?" Zha Biao handed over an iron plate and asked casually. The leader of the other party was a commander, who said: "We were sent by Shangguan to set up a trap here to capture the border rebels..."
After checking the identity of the visitor, the chief returned the iron plate, raised his hand and said: "It turns out they are the elder brothers of the Capital Guard! I'm disrespectful!"
Zha Biao shook his arms and snorted majestically. He raised his head and saw that the surroundings were very deserted. When he turned around, he asked curiously: "Why did the rebels at the border flee here? And there are no human beings in these barren mountains and ridges. Wouldn't it be a waste of your efforts..."
The chief looked at the carriage again and then waved his hand. The soldier blocking the intersection stepped aside, and then he complained helplessly: "I checked, Shangguan didn't know anything. About ten miles north of here is Zhaojia'ao, the hometown of the rebels. If that man is let go The mother-in-law and the young son will definitely return. For this reason, we have to stay at the intersection..."
Zha Biao shook his head disdainfully and lectured in a superior tone: "What will happen if the rebel sneaks back home from somewhere else? You are acting too unorganized..." The other party hesitated and said mysteriously: " There are still several immortals guarding Zhaojiao, so why should I wait? It’s just a routine matter!”
Just a border rebel, how many immortal leaders did he provoke? Zha Biao was secretly frightened and wanted to ask a few more questions about this, but the other party was wary and had no intention of saying more. He had no choice but to get on Tiger Jun and greet the group to continue on their way. Neither he nor the soldiers on both sides of the road noticed the cold light flashing in the eyes of the driver...
After a while of burning incense, the road turned a corner, and a small mountain col appeared on the right side of the road. Under the shade of trees, more than ten farmhouses are located near and far, showing the simplicity and tranquility of the mountain countryside.
According to what the chief said, this should be the location of Zhaojia'ao!
Zha Biao did not dare to be careless, and urged his mount to avoid the trouble, but the sound of horse hooves and wheels behind him suddenly stopped at this moment. He turned around and saw that the driver had already landed on the ground, and said to Sang Chen'er with a smile: "Little girl, are you thirsty? You might as well come with me to ask for a bowl of water..."
The mulberry in front of the car was bored from sitting for a long time, so he opened his mouth to agree. After all, she is a child at heart, so it would be fun to go for a walk at the farmhouse. Zha Biao was shocked! Knowing that the Immortal is here, you still have to ask for a bowl of water. Isn't this adding trouble? He hurriedly begged: "As long as you get to the inn, you will have a big bowl of wine, a big piece of meat, everything you need..."
Lin Yi paced back and forth with his hands behind his back, looking at the small mountain village in front of him with interest. He turned a deaf ear to Zha Biao's words, and instead signaled aloud: "You three come here, I have something to say..."
Zha Biao and the other three looked at each other, but after hesitating for a moment, they still did not dare to disobey. The three of them jumped off the tiger jun and came to the nearby side. They heard the other party say easily: "Please get off Xiao'er and Qingmei..."
You can just ask for a bowl of water by yourself, why bother bringing others with you! In panic, Zha Biao wanted to make a few comments, but Lin Yi ignored him at all, stretched out his hand to point around, and continued enthusiastically: "...the mountains are green and the water is beautiful, and there are even immortals here. It's so fascinating! Haha..." He paused and said without a doubt: "You and I may have a chance to meet you if we take a rest here. Don't miss it if you pass by!"
Forced to have no choice, Zha Biao had no choice but to ask Sang Chen'er to invite the two women in the car to come down, but he complained endlessly about this. Are the mountains and rivers beautiful? It's just an ordinary small village, with not even a pond in sight. In addition, you, Taoist Lin, don’t look down upon the Immortal Master, but now you are pretending to be a good man and a believer. I really don’t know what you are trying to do!
Qingmei followed Xiaoer out of the carriage and was confused for a moment. The swelling on his face has not gone away, and he still looks miserable. While her eyes were evading, she suddenly saw the man looking at her. She immediately took two steps back and cried out softly: "Brother Cha, I'm so timid..."
Zha Biao couldn't help but stepped forward to help him, but he didn't dare to move without authorization. Lin Yi waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and smiled at the delicate and pretentious woman: "It is said that immortals have a way to keep their appearance, why not let your brother Zha take you with him to try your luck!" His eyes passed over the doubtful woman. Xiao'er, he raised his eyebrows, shrugged his shoulders helplessly, and complained: "On this hot day, I am the only one who is thirsty? I am just asking for a bowl of water..."
A group of seven people left the road and slowly walked towards the village not far away. Cha Biao and the other three looked sneaky, and the three women looked curious. Lin Yi, who was walking in front, seemed to be strolling around, with a faint smile on his lips. In front of the thatched house here, clothes are drying on a low fence; in the courtyard in front of the door over there, a spinning wheel is wrapped with twine... The doors of each house are wide open, but there are no people in front and behind, and there are only a few cicadas chirping. It came intermittently, making people feel more and more irritable and uneasy. All they wanted to do was escape through the treetops and go straight to the clouds...
Under a banyan tree, in front of an old stone mill, everyone slowly stopped. The village is not big, standing here you can see clearly around. There are several stone benches under the dense shade of the tree. Cha Biao gestured to Xiaoer and her sister to help Qingmei sit down and rest, and then he walked to Lin Yi's side with Ji'an and Xiang Pan. The other party put his hands behind his back and looked around, with a leisurely expression. He hesitated, and said with a bit of trepidation: "No one is in every household, what should you and I do..."
"Oh? Why is there no one..." Lin Yi looked back from a distance and asked. Seeing his late realization, Cha Biao's face turned bitter. Thinking to himself, why are you pretending to be confused! This is the hometown of the rebels, there must be immortals lurking in it, and the villagers are either killed or captured, so why ask more...
Lin Yi suddenly smiled and said, "Wait a moment, I'll go find some clean water to quench everyone's thirst..." Before he finished speaking, he walked towards a nearby farmhouse.
A man who had been living a life of luxury for several days suddenly came down to look for water in person, attracting the attention of everyone present. Something must be wrong when things are abnormal, the behavior of this carriage driver is too strange!
Lin Yicai was about to cross an open space when a flash of light flashed in front of him, followed by a figure...
"Ah..."
It was like seeing a ghost in broad daylight, and the three women couldn't help but scream. Cha Biao and the other two tightly grasped the knife handles at their waists, at a loss for a moment. At this moment, another shocking change occurred. When the sitting figure appeared, Lin Yi, who was walking slowly, suddenly moved and kicked out a sharp kick in a flash.
At this moment, everything under the scorching sun became quiet, and only the successive explosions and muffled sounds were so thrilling! The first sound shattered the light on the figure, and the second sound was the sound of a head exploding...
Just as everyone was shocked, Lin Yi ignored the blood and flesh in front of him, turned around and rushed straight to the stone benches. The three women sat there in a daze, only their eyes were still moving.
Just at this moment, another figure appeared on the stone bench next to Xiao'er. It was a middle-aged Taoist with a wretched expression, and he was also surprised. He was still immersed in the reverie of the beauty, but now he was shocked by the tragic death of his fellow brother! How could a mortal see through the monk's invisibility and kill him with one blow...
But in a flash, a flying figure had already rushed in front of him. The middle-aged Taoist only remembered to respond, but he was caught off guard. Too fast! There was no time for people to sacrifice their flying swords or pinch the magic formula. In the midst of his busy schedule, he stood up and fled, but his lower abdomen suddenly hurt. His qi sea was completely destroyed, and his liver and intestines were broken...
At the same time, a golden light of about ten feet suddenly attacked. Lin Yi was about to shake off the dead body on his arm when he was hit by the flying sword. With a "boom--" sound, he flew back more than ten feet in the air and fell to the ground with a "thump".
Under a big tree not far away, as the light flashed, another middle-aged man sitting cross-legged appeared. After a sneak attack, he recalled the sword light and swirled around, and then slowly stood up.
Twenty feet away, Lin Yi rolled twice and jumped up. The Taoist robe had been torn to pieces by the sword light, but he was unscathed, only the cold murderous aura emanating from his body was daunting.
Seeing this, the middle-aged man was stunned. And then he remembered the tragic death of his two junior brothers, and he did not dare to be careless for a while, staring at the young man of unknown origin, secretly guessing.
When the three-headed tiger and the carriage stopped by the road, they attracted the attention of the middle-aged man and two brothers. Seeing that it was an official passing by to rest, the three of them didn't take it seriously. But the other party's group of seven came directly under the big tree, which was where their brothers were hiding and waiting.
It was as expected! The moment a brother was forced to show up, he was kicked to pieces by someone's protective aura, and then his head was blown up; when another brother was greedy for women, he didn't expect that he had already been remembered by his opponent!
This young man of unknown origin had no spiritual power and was obviously not a cultivator. But he was not afraid of the sharpness of the flying sword, and his muscles and bones were much stronger than ordinary demon cultivators. Besides, he was just an ordinary mortal, how could he recognize the invisibility technique and kill two immortals?
"Who... are you?" After a moment of silence, the middle-aged man asked with some caution.
Lin Yi shook off the blood on his hands, looked at his torn robe, and then looked up again, and then his eyes fell on the middle-aged man. He looked normal, and didn't look like he had just killed someone. And the more indifferent he was, the more difficult it was to tell his depth, and the more afraid he was.
"I'm just an ordinary person! Haha..." Lin Yi's eyes flashed coldly, and then he smiled strangely. He nodded slightly at the middle-aged man, and it was unknown whether he was greeting him or had other intentions. But his feet were slowly moving forward...
Cha Biao and the other two stood there, not daring to move, and each of them was sweating coldly. He just killed an immortal...
Xiao'er and Sang Zhen'er huddled together, the two sisters' faces were pale and their bodies were trembling. No wonder Cha Shangguan and the other two were afraid of this Taoist priest Lin...
Qingmei had slid off the stone bench and collapsed on the ground, still holding the two little girls tightly and refusing to let go. Unconsciously, a pool of fishy water gushed out from under her body again...
The middle-aged man seemed to have thought of something, and the sword light around him became brighter. He shouted loudly: "Are you the rebel soldier at the border? Tell me the truth! If you offend my Shinto sect, you will be in great trouble!"
"Haha! Rebels? Sooner or later I will settle this account with the king of Wugan..." Lin Yi shook his head disapprovingly. Without stopping, he raised his eyebrows and sneered at the middle-aged man: "A cultivator in the late stage of foundation building dares to call me an old man. Isn't it a disaster..."
The middle-aged man was startled and said in surprise: "You are a senior who has hidden his cultivation..."
A demonic look flashed across Lin Yi's face, and he said coldly: "I am a ghost killer..." Before he finished speaking, his figure moved suddenly...
