Four watches, Phoenix Mountain side, ancient Tong Temple.

When the breeze rises, the sound of the city's dogs barking can be faintly heard in the darkness, and the occasional flashing lights of the ancient city are ghostly flickering.

In later generations, or in another period of time and space, this mountain range that would become the imperial palace of the Southern Song Dynasty is now only on the outskirts of the city, not far from the city wall, and does not appear to be prosperous. Gu Tong Temple is not a big Taoist temple, when the army entered the city experienced a plunder, the Taoist priest ran away, died, and then it was occupied by the righteous army of the three religions and nine streams, in the process of dividing the power of the righteous army, this ancient Tong Temple also has a new owner, the function and appearance still maintain the original Taoist appearance, but the people who come to worship are naturally gone.

The hillside where the ancient Tongguan Temple is located is only a small forest separated from the inhabited place, but now it is a place that is difficult for idlers to approach, and it is often guarded by soldiers, and since a few people have been killed, there are no more people who dare to come at will. People who have nothing to do with the outside world can probably find out that there is a group of soldiers stationed here called the Quenching Battalion, led by a dark-skinned man with a scarred face and a terrifying look.

And on top of this, even within the Fang La military system, not many people can find out who the final backstage of this quenching battalion is. The quenching battalion is a new establishment, and in the Fangla military system with intricate relationships, it is difficult for irrelevant people to figure out who it belongs to, it is quite related, and in addition to maintaining this acre and three points of land, there are no high-profile actions, and there are not many people who will be interested in it.

Only occasionally when the wind is strong, there will be some sounds, which are blown out of the mountain by the wind, and the outside world hears like a whimper, like a ghost crying, and like a woman's cry. The city of Hangzhou has experienced the baptism of war, in which there are countless dead, many of whom still belong to the category of corpses and bones. There weren't many people living around, and there were no rumors of hauntings for a while.

At this time, it is only the fourth watch, as the saying goes, one more people, two more gongs. Three more ghosts, four more thieves, five more chickens, this hour is the darkest time before dawn, and people are already tired. There are not many lights in the ancient Tong Temple, only faintly revealing a hazy point of light, quietly. It seems that he has already fallen asleep. In the grove here, a figure carefully avoided the various traps set by the guards, and quietly sneaked into the Taoist temple over there.

Although the ancient Tong Temple is not as good as those real famous mountains and grand views, but the scope of jurisdiction is not very small compared to ordinary people's homes, the front and back courtyards, three or two storey buildings are connected or quite large-scale. At this time, there were not many people patrolling inside, and the black-clothed infiltrators were not very tall. But with his dexterous hands, he skillfully avoided the few patrols, and finally entered the largest building in the center of the temple.

Maybe it's because not many people in Hangzhou City at this time will fight the idea here. Although there were patrols on the periphery of the Taoist temple, there were not many guards inside, and a Jianghu man wearing a Taoist robe sat by the door with his head bowed and fell asleep, and the door was open a crack, and there were dim lights seeping out inside. The man in black thought for a moment, quietly walked forward, pushed open the door, and sneaked in. As soon as he entered, he was a little stunned.

The woman's cry came like a tidal wave. It's not loud. But probably because there are so many cryers, the sobbing sounds are overlapping and gathering, and this is still on the fourth watch, and I don't know what kind of scene the road will become during the day. On this side of the door, the lights are dim. It was originally a large building, but now both sides have been made into cell-like compartments. Some are houses, others are just fences.

The man in black walked along the aisle, the cells on both sides were covered with straw, and a young woman was locked inside, with chains on her hands, some of them were ragged and disheveled, and some of them were stained with blood on their heads and heads, and they didn't know how mistreated they were, most of these women near the door had fallen asleep, and some of them had their eyes open, their eyes glazed over, and they were still naked and moaning in the late autumn season, and their bodies were in disarray, and they were probably infected with injuries and diseases, and they were already dying. The air was filled with the smell of blood and gore, and at the end of the big was the Sanqing statue that had been half shattered, and behind the statue, there were still men's laughter and scolding and women's painful voices faintly coming over. ..., the man in black was actually only a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, and he probably understood the meaning of these things, but he had not experienced it, and for a while, he was also a little dazed. After a moment, he gritted his teeth and trembled slightly, and his steps towards the inside stopped, and slowly began to retreat, a few steps back, but he stopped again, looking at the locks on those cells, a little overwhelmed. At this moment, the sound of the night wind pouring in from behind me, whimpering lowly.

He was stunned, the door was originally closed, which meant ...... It's now open.

When I turned around, the wind struck, and my head buzzed!

"Someone."

The body of a teenager in a nightcoat flew out of the gate, his mask torn in the air, blood spurting from his mouth and nose.

At this time, a total of five people, including the guards outside the door who were napping, led by a small leader, suddenly attacked, and the most hurtful was a scabbard swung at the young man's head. Because the victory is in hand, the small boss's sentence "What people." Without shouting, the boy fell to the ground, already fainting, someone drew a knife, and another said, "Is it a child?" Do you want to warn? ”

"Look at ......"

Shadows fall from the sky!

The five of them can be regarded as people from the rivers and lakes, and the moment they beat the young man, they have all followed out, and they are on the corridor outside the gate at this time. The black shadow suddenly landed in the middle of the five people, and a right fist that was swung out broke through the wind like an angry tide, and slammed into the sun in front of the person, and in an instant, the person's entire face began to distort, and the wave-like impact lines with broken skin and bones of blood instantly spread from the head.

The black shadow's shot was like a roaring thunder, swinging, stride, spinner, smashing the monument, waving the sword, and straining like a mad dragon. He stepped on the calf of one of the people, the figure was slightly shorter, and was imprinted on the head by the extremely fierce smashing monument handprint, the person's head was directly discounted from the cervical vertebrae, and the head dragged the body like a ball in the bluestone corridor to smash out, walking next to a person before the knife was pulled out, and he was also snatched away, and in the blink of an eye, four knives were swung out, and the fierce knife was extremely fierce to split the face, broken neck, and shattered, and the leader finished saying the word "look", and he was not able to shout out loud for a while, and the figure had been bullied forward, and a palm was enlarged in front of his eyes.

A dull sound.

The large façade is made of hard bluestone. The little leader was pushed back two steps by the huge momentum, and the back of his head smashed on the bluestone, and his skull was probably broken. The palm of the hand twisted around his mouth and nose, pushing his body off the ground. The most obvious in the eyes of this little boss. It was the fierce and cold beast-like gaze of the young man and the shadow that was not burly, and the gaze stared at him to the last moment.

Chen Fan stabbed the steel knife into the opponent's stomach, watched the opponent's eyes slowly twist one hundred and eighty degrees, and then let the person go. Under the eaves at this time, two people were killed by his fists and palms, and two were split by a fierce knife technique, and he shot with all his strength at this time. One of them was hit in the head and neck, and the other was in the neck, and the bones had been split. Except for the sound of the human body colliding as it poured out, there was almost no other sound. As soon as he let go of the corpse in his hand, he immediately turned around, picked up the boy on his back, took out strips of cloth, and tied them to his back. Glancing back, he strode out of the city.

The five didn't shout out loud, but the initial movement had already alarmed the people nearby. A figure rushed forward and shouted, "What a man! The steel whip in his hand smashed down on Chen Fan's head, this human body was short and fat, shaped like an iron tower, and he was also very powerful, but Chen Fan only grabbed the steel whip with one hand, and his body was still moving forward, and the fat man kept retreating, turning from one hand to both hands, to take back the steel whip. The mouth of the mouth "ahhh But after brushing it, the tiger's mouth cracked, Chen Fan kicked him in the heart, and the steel whip swung down on his head. …,

The blood was shining, and the fat man covered his head. Stumbling back to the ground, Chen Fan walked over. The shadows of two more people appeared on the side of the courtyard, and he thought about it, turned to the fat man's head again, and then again. smashed the fat man in front of the two of them several times in a row, and then turned out.

The defensive power in this Taoist temple has been completely awakened, but the Taoist temple is not big, Chen Fan went straight out, straight forward, his feet seemed to be walking, in fact, the speed was faster than the galloping horse, and he had arrived at the main gate in a blink of an eye, two soldiers with knives were guarding the gate, Chen Fan barely slowed down at all, and rushed towards the already somewhat broken gate.

On the side of the woods outside the Gutong Temple, two shadows, one large and one small, were watching the movement inside with some confusion. At this time, it was Ning Yi and Zhuo Xiaofeng, who reported the news. It turned out that the group of students who opposed Ning Yi in the school were also fighting to do a few great things to show that they were better than the children taught by Ning Yi. Under the comparison between the two sides, there is no convergence in all kinds of inquiries and investigations, at this time, all kinds of messy things in Hangzhou City are not nothing, but too much, this time Zhuo Xiaofeng and others inadvertently found a name that they can't mess with, and there were internal disagreements for a while. Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers, one of the children named Chen Teng is bold, regardless of Zhuo Xiaofeng's dissuasion, he decided to visit Gu Tongguan at night, Zhuo Xiaofeng thought about it, but finally came to Ning Yi for help, hoping that he could have a way to persuade the other party.

But Zhuo Xiaofeng came late after all, they rushed here and failed to intercept each other, and then found that there was chaos in the Taoist temple. At this time, they naturally didn't expect that Chen Fan had been paying attention to the movements of the two groups of children in the academy from the beginning. After looking at it for a moment, I saw that the gate of the temple shattered, and a shadow rushed out of the debris with two guards, one of whom was pierced by a steel knife and rolled on the ground a few times, and the other person was not dead, but was dragged by the shadow with one hand, turned around a few times, and then put his neck under his armpit, and in the run, he was twisted like a chicken.

Breaking doors, running, killing, and abandoning corpses, this person's speed did not stop at all, and it seemed that he had a person behind him. At this moment, a beam of fireworks rose into the sky.

A cloud-piercing arrow, thousands of troops come to meet each other.

This is a warning signal from the people in the view to their companions, the firelight vaguely found out the outline of the shadow that rushed out, the two sides were actually close, Ning Yi looked at it, pulled Zhuo Xiaofeng with his backhand, and also tried to escape towards the bottom of the mountain, about more than 100 meters, and suddenly someone came in the dark: "Where is the thief, dare to ......?"

"Look at the knife!"

This is probably seeing the soldiers coming back from the vicinity, Zhuo Xiaofeng was already frightened, but Ning Yi shouted at the first time, waved his hand, and slashed the knife light in front of him, poof, a bag of powdery things covered the top half of the opponent's face, and the man waved his knife frantically: "cough...... Burst...... What ......"

"Lime powder."

After Ning Yi finished speaking, he was already close to the other party and slashed him in the weeds with a knife.

Chen Fan was not far away from this side at this time, and as soon as the voice came out, he noticed it. Ning Yi slashed down the man, Chen Fan had already heard the voice, but hesitated slightly, and made a few gestures to this side, Ning Yi pointed to his side, Chen Fan nodded, and led the pursuers to run down from the other side.

"Let's go."

Turning around to greet Zhuo Xiaofeng, Ning Yi continued to run towards the original path, Zhuo Xiaofeng looked at the neat killing method of this academy gentleman, and was slightly stunned. No matter how dissatisfied they were with Ning Yi because of what happened to him when he fled, Ning Yi's image in the academy was a scholar after all, and he was an extremely orthodox scholar, knowledgeable, powerless, and mixed with the government, "bloody slaughter" and the like, although it was mentioned, it was naturally only a joke later. At this time, I finally saw his bloody side, but he only hesitated slightly, finally reacted, and hurriedly followed. ...But...... It seems a bit despicable to smash people with a lime bag, but looking at the casual rate of Mr. Ning's action just now, he seems to be very upright...... Thinking of some of the sayings he had come into contact with, this little confusion flashed in Zhuo Xiaofeng's heart, but after all, it was important to run for his life, and after a while, this idea was left behind him......

The noise and firelight gradually approached, and then gradually drifted away, and then on one side of the city, causing a small area of movement. As dawn approaches, stirring a pool of water......

By the end of the day, the sun had already risen. A group of soldiers gathered outside the Gutong Temple, and inside the Taoist Temple, there were some Taoist priests and Taoist aunts who seemed to be relatively formal at this time. The scene of the fight in the view is still in its original state, a middle-aged Taoist man in a yellow Taoist robe, it seems that there is a bit of fairy wind and bones, he is looking at the side and walking inward, his face is warm, with a slight smile, not like he is very angry, followed by several people of different appearances, the most eye-catching of which is the big man on the left like a black iron tower, his face, the place where he can see the scars everywhere, this person is the fierce king Lu Tuo, he was originally entrusted to garrison at this time, but last night was called out of the Lu to go to the banquet, I didn't come back, and I didn't expect this to happen.

"Ah...... Good, good...... Whipping, killing...... All the way clean...... Good, good, good...... Big smasher, okay...... Look at it, the knife technique is a little worse...... In addition to his strength, the cooks are all better than him...... There is nowhere to use ...... force"

The middle-aged Taoist at the head seemed to be appreciating the battle along the way, sometimes admiring and sometimes ridiculing, with relish, until he had finished seeing the five corpses under the eaves. The Taoist priest turned his back to everyone, took a few steps back, looked at the half-covered gate, seemed to be thinking about something, stretched out his hand and slapped it on the wooden pillar on the right, then withdrew it, clenched his fist and exhaled a little coldly on the edge of his mouth.

Lu Tuo in the rear had endured it for a long time, and said at this time: "Heavenly Master, do you know who came over last night, this place is what I saw, I was not there last night, it was my dereliction of duty, you tell me who he is, I will kill him!" ”

The Taoist turned around, and with a wave of dust, he still laughed: "Who the hell is it, that is someone who doesn't know the Tao, speaking and doing things, there must be evidence, there must be rules, but ......" He stretched out his hand and patted the other party's shoulder, "...... There is a chance. ”

After saying this, he raised his head, stood under the eaves, squinted his eyes slightly, and didn't know what Lu Dao was thinking, in the bones of the fairy wind Dao, there were a few vicissitudes, and it seemed that there was a little bit of depression, and for a moment, he shook his head with a slight wry smile.

If Ning Yi was here, he would also recognize him, because he was once a person who had met at the Baiguan Banquet.

Now in Hangzhou, known as the most money, the most guys, the most brothers, the subordinates do not refuse, the three religions and nine streams gather, but it is also the most uneven, no one can ignore the person.

- Protector of the Heavenly Master, Bao Daoyi. (To be continued)
