22 Whether the thief or the king is brave or not, there is no one who is a human being or a ghost

The big boss's surname is Wu, and his single name is Yi, but it is simple and easy to remember. The person who was rescued by Xiao Yi, surnamed Xiao Mingtang, is much more awkward to read. The big boss asked Xiao Si to accompany Xiao Tang, and he took the rest of the people up the mountain to investigate again.

Several people are very familiar with this mountain road, and they choose secluded paths along the way, but they don't meet too many opponents, and occasionally see a few people, and they also avoid it far away. The mountain is not high, and it only takes a short time to reach the peak. The peak is a different world, which really amazes Xiao Yi. I saw a magnificent treasure hall standing under the top stone of the mountain, and a pool of clear spring next to it reflected the golden light, which added a lot of grandeur to it. Xiao Yi and the others hid far away and watched the movement here.

I saw that the hall was very lively, drinking and having fun, extremely cheerful, and there were even many exotic beauties dancing in the vocal field, which attracted everyone to constantly coax. Xiao Yi said in his heart, these people are afraid that they have already started to prepare for the celebration banquet, otherwise how could they even bring this dancing girl together. Look at the outside of the hall again, the guards are extremely strict, one person in ten steps, and patrols are wandering around, if Xiao Yi and a few people get closer, they are afraid that they will be discovered at any time. There were several more teams of men and horses coming down the mountain, and it seemed that the new boss had already arranged the defense, and everyone should be extra careful when they went up and down the mountain in the future. After watching for a while, Wu Yi gestured down the mountain, and everyone slowly retreated without making a sound.

came to the previously agreed meeting place, Wu Yi summoned Xiao Tang Xiaosi to come over and said to everyone,

"I visited it again just now, and everyone said what they thought. ”

Xiaoliu Xiandao,

"They only know pleasure, let's hide, and when the guard relaxes, we will rush in and arrest the two masters and the three masters together!"

Little Three Rounds,

"We're just a few people, if we go in boldly, I'm afraid it won't make much difference. What's more, now that the guards are so tight, it's impossible for us to get closer even more!"

Xiao Qi said again,

"The third brother is right! I think that although the second master is domineering on weekdays, I have never heard that he likes to drink and be beautiful, I think this time it must be a treacherous scheme, that is, to lead us forward, so as to catch us all!"

Little Three Rounds,

"If you want to lead us there, why do you send so many people to guard the temple gates?

Everyone was talking about it, and they couldn't stop, Xiao Yi only replied,

"Could it be that this song and dance is all for the elder and Brother Wu's cronies?"

Everyone immediately quieted down, Xiao Yi bowed his head in embarrassment, and Wu Yi finally spoke again,

"Everybody's right, but it's not the best time to do it. First of all, we have few people, and we must gather all the forces we can fight for, and in this regard, we can save the elders first, and then play a good show with the arrested brothers. Also, now that the other party is in full swing, let's avoid its edge first, don't clash with them head-on, and when the time is ripe, we will win it with one blow. ”

That Xiao Tang answered,

"We can still provoke these two masters and three masters, as well as other small forces, the more fierce they fight, the greater our chances!"

Wu Yi nodded and said,

"That's right, although we have few people, as long as we work together, we can turn him upside down!"

When everyone listened to his words, their hearts were full of pride, and they were eager to start acting immediately. Wu Yi said again,

"There is abundant rain in the mountains, but it has suffered us! I have written down all these hardships, and when the time comes, I will recapture Qitianmen, and I will thank all the brothers again!"

The crowd clasped their fists in return to him,

"The big boss is serious!"

Wu Yi quickly arranged how to visit the camp, how to save people, how to deliver news, and so on. After arranging them one by one, everyone in teams of two and two is also clear about their respective tasks, and if they have a problem, some people can quickly take it. Xiao Yi listened to his arrangement, but he couldn't put forward many opinions, and he was arranged to respond to the periphery, but I am afraid that Wu Yi is not very at ease with himself. But also, just after we met, how can I entrust everyone's lives to myself.

In this way, everything went very smoothly, and it took everyone half a month to make the previous arrangements one by one. Several people are very careful, even when they eat, they only pick up leftovers or pick wild fruits to satisfy their hunger, and their respective teams will not meet each other until they have to. Xiao Yi vaguely felt that the time was ripe, because he had already sent a lot of weapons to his brothers with Xiao Si. Sure enough, Wu Yi gathered everyone again.

"The time is ripe, we will definitely kill him by surprise, it is better to set it tomorrow, we will definitely be able to win the battle. ”

Seeing that everyone had no objections, Wu Yi said again,

"Little four and six, you go and inform the brothers, let them get ready, and when we enter, we will cooperate with the outside and take down the traitor in one fell swoop!"

The little four and the six received the order, but Xiao Yi was still not arranged to do anything, although he wanted to help, but he never won the trust of the other party. However, since he decided to help them, he stayed and could help a little if things changed. That Xiao Tang is not much better, although he has some good ideas, but even is followed, he is extremely unhappy, but he does not have the ability to escape, the two only smiled awkwardly when they met, and there was nothing else to say.

In the past half a month, Xiao Wu has come once, saying that it is not easy to go down, and the search team has become crazy, and has searched all the places where people can hide, so the people below have been hiding a little farther away, for fear that someone will find them and cause a big deal. Xiao Yi knew that it must be the two masters who increased the reward in order to find the fugitive as soon as possible. Xiao Wu went back to report the news, and Xiao Yi just asked him to go to Leiyin Temple to bring a message to Tong Lu and the others, and let them wait a few more days. He also saw the formation of this peak with his own eyes, and the big boss arranged it properly, if nothing else, he was nine points sure that it could be done.

At night, everyone hid among the grass and trees near the peak, and it was not so humid because of the sunny day. However, there were too many mosquitoes, and I didn't dare to shoot hard, so I wanted to recharge my energy here, but I fought with the mosquito for one night. Seeing that the sky was bright, Xiao Yi breathed a sigh of relief, and finally the decisive battle was coming!

Everything is ready, just waiting for the big boss to give an order, Xiao Yi can't help but get excited. The sky began to turn white, the big boss gestured, and everyone rushed in all directions according to the original plan. There are only more than ten people outside the hall, most of them are dozing, and they have been on duty for a long time, and they still have to be lazy. Except for Xiao Yi, Xiao Tang and Xiao Liu who answered on the periphery, the rest of the people entered the hall without attracting any attention. If nothing else, the second master should live in the private room behind the palace, and it is only a matter of time before he is captured. Why did the big boss come to raid after this half a month, I am afraid that it was also to let him relax his vigilance more.

Soon after everyone entered, there was a sound of fighting inside, the guards outside the hall woke up, and hurriedly went in to help, Xiao Yi and the three got up together, Xiao B took the first step, not much slower than the guard, the long stick was in front, left and right, and the two of them bounced away, and the guards were shocked, and turned around to fight with him. The long stick flew around, dazzling, and was about to resist, the stick shadow had passed, and wanted to move forward, the black shadow came again, and the guards were teased, and they were hit by Xiao Yi's stick unawares, this stick was extremely powerful, and ordinary people were hit by it, how could they endure it. After a while, more than a dozen people scattered and fell, screaming and screaming. Xiao Yi said in his heart, this guard is so vulnerable, it is because the second master has a trap, and the real master is only afraid of hiding inside, just waiting for everyone to enter the encirclement.

Sure enough, the shouts inside gradually rose, there should be a lot of ambush soldiers, and the sound of killing outside the hall shook the sky, and there were also reinforcements coming.

"Wu Yi, give up! I have long expected that you have this trick, and today is your death date! Haha, haha!"

Wu Yi was not timid, and replied loudly,

"I treat you well on weekdays, but you will take revenge, do you think your brothers will look at you as a horse!"

The two masters laughed and said,

"Is it useful for you to say that now? Ask them and see what they say?"

Everyone around these two masters laughed, thinking that there were only a few people in this big boss, how could they stand up to the storm.

"Bring that guy here, I'll tell him to get out, but he's contracted someone else and wants to hurt me! Hmph, see if I don't clean him up. ”

Xiao Yi has also experienced a lot of things, and when he heard the sound just now, he had already hidden it, and everyone's energy was put on Wu Yi, where was he still distracted. He saw that Wu Yi and the others were surrounded by groups, and Xiao Tang was escorted forward. The second master grabbed Xiao Tang, the muscles on his face were deformed, and he said with an angry smile,

"I'll give you a chance to live, but you don't want it! Haha, that's no wonder I'm going to do it! Come on, hit fifty lashes first, let us old masters see!"

As soon as the words fell, someone came over with a rope and tied Xiao Tang and hung him, he begged for mercy loudly, and said all the good things, but it didn't have any effect. A whip was struck at him, and he shouted and screamed, and the whip did not stop for a moment, until he could no longer shout.

The hall was full of cheers, this Xiao Tang was humiliated in public, and he really lost his face. He is not a person who practices martial arts, where can he withstand the punishment of whipping, and after being beaten for less than thirty, he faints in pain. The subordinate dipped some salt water on the whip and continued to whip, Xiao Tang woke up in pain again, his mouth and eyes were full of blood, and he was very miserable.

The two masters laughed, very proud, and were about to order Wu Yi to be captured, but he couldn't speak.

"Stop, don't stop, I'll let him die immediately!"

Everyone looked at the second master, who was held by the throat, that person had a dark complexion and a strong figure, who was not Xiao Yi! It turned out that Xiao Yi had hidden earlier, and he had changed his outfit, and the sky was not yet bright, how could he tell the difference, this good show of capturing the thief and capturing the king first, he did it for the first time, and his heart was also very excited. The whip-bearer stopped and took a look at the developments. Xiao Yi shouted,

"Let the big boss go!"

Everyone hesitated, Xiao Yi's hands were lightly straining, the two masters' faces were suffocated, and their hands were desperate to break Xiao Yi's fingers, but it was useless. Seeing this situation, everyone had to get out of the way, Wu Yi and a few people had some minor injuries, but they were not dead, and when they came to Xiao Yi's side, Wu Yi hugged his fists and said,

"Brother Xiaoyi, the grace of saving your life is hard to repay!"

Xiao Yi replied to him,

"It's not the time to say this, it's better to solve the problem at hand quickly!"

Xiao Yi restrained the second master, his cronies did not dare to act rashly, and the rest of the people who went with the tide had no idea for a while. Wu Yi tried to appease and coerce and lure, relying on the prestige he had accumulated in Qitianmen for many years, it was also quite effective, which really made Xiao Yi look at him with admiration. He had this confidence, just because hundreds of his own people had already come outside the hall, and the three masters and the other horses were blocked under the peak, and they didn't dare to retreat immediately if they couldn't get up for a while. The form was very good, many people were interested, threw away their weapons and returned to their camp, and those diehards could not hold out for long, and they were surrounded, and there was not much more turmoil.

Xiao Yi handed over the second master to Xiao Si, got up to see Xiao Tang, only to see that his clothes were broken, dozens of whip marks on his body, blood red and blood red, a few whips were beaten harder, and the skin and flesh were directly smashed, and the rags were embedded in the meat, and Xiao Yi took a lot of effort to clean them up. Xiao Tang has fine skin and tender meat, and he has never suffered hardship, he woke up in pain and fainted in pain, and after repeating it several times, Xiao Yi couldn't bear to do it again. Someone came over to help and sent Xiao Tang into the guest room. Xiao Yi stayed to see how this situation developed. After a while, the three masters sent someone to come and talk about it, and the big thing was over at this Qitian Gate.

Xiao Yi was thinking about the elder, and as for what they would do after that, he didn't care at all. The turmoil had just subsided, Wu Yi was so busy that Xiao Yi couldn't bear to disturb him, so he wandered around the neighborhood and came to inquire again when he was done. He came to a shade of a tree and slept, and although there were many noisy people outside, he did not sleep well for half a month, and he fell asleep quickly.

"Oh no, no!"

Xiao Yi was awakened by this sound, he pressed his hands on the ground, his body flew up, and the long stick was already in his hand. Xiao Yi saw only one person rushing over, shouting,

"Big boss, it's not good! Elder can't do it!"

Xiao Yi's heart chuckled, could it be that the second master tortured him, he was old and frail, and he couldn't stand the destruction. Seeing that the big boss came out with everyone, his concern was overflowing, and this elder must also be very prestigious in Qi Tianmen. Xiao Yi stepped forward and said,

"Can you take me to see the elder together, he is my friend and master, I came to Qitianmen this time, originally looking for him. ”

Wu Yi no longer had a trace of hostility towards Xiao Yi at this time, and only said,

"Brother Xiaoyi, come with me!"

Wu Yi led everyone to a stone room. Xiao Yi saw that there were already a lot of people gathered outside, and as soon as Wu Yi came, everyone got out of the way, and Xiao Yi also followed into the house. The humidity in the room was a little heavy, a little stuffy, Xiao Yi saw that there was a bed in the middle, there was a person lying straight on the bed, and the three candles lit by the bed were not burning. Wu Yi came to the side of the bed and knelt down, and called softly,

"Elder, you'll be fine!"

When the elder heard Wu Yi speak, he slowly turned his head and replied to him word by word,

"It's okay if it's okay, it's okay if it's okay! As for me, at this age, I've already lived enough!"

Wu Yi couldn't help crying, but Xiao Yi stayed on the spot, and his heart was extremely confused. It turned out that this elder was not Master Xiyue, and he thought that he had found a master for her, but how did he know that things were not so simple. He thought back that he had been on this mountain for half a month, but he had never seen anyone use that delicate arrow and crossbow, and he had not even figured it out, and he was really stupid. Just as he was thinking about it, Wu Yi opened his mouth and called him,

"Brother Xiaoyi, didn't you say that the elder is your friend master, come and talk to him!"

The elder had a kind face, although he was old and thin, and his body was sick, he could be regarded as energetic, and he looked at Xiao Yi with anticipation. Xiao Yi stepped forward, waved to the elder, and said,

"Elder, I have recognized the wrong person! I regard you as a teacher of friends, what an offense!"

The elder's aura weakened, and he continued to speak slowly,

"I've heard that you are a young hero, very good, and you easily captured the second child! The old man is really lucky, stained with the light of your friend and master, so you came to help me Qi Tianmen. You came to see me, it's also fate!"

The elder fumbled on the bed for a while, took out a wooden box, he handed the wooden box to Xiao Yi, and said,

"Thanks to you, I, Qi Tianmen, can avoid calamity. I have nothing to thank you for, but a weighing rod, which has been with me for years, and this will send him to you!"

Wu Yi couldn't help asking,

"Elder, do you really want to give it to him?"

The elder's breath was weak, but he coughed, almost out of breath, and died. Xiao Yi stepped forward to assist and protected him in his arms, which made him feel better. Listen to him,

"It is made of that 10,000-year-old magnetic rough stone, which is extremely magnetic and very strong. I heard that it took ten years of painstaking work for the craftsman to polish and take shape, and it took another ten years to carve before it became what it is today. My ancestor got this artifact by chance, I originally planned to pass it on to Xiaoqin'er, but she was naughty and mischievous, and she was spoiled by this Wu Yi, so I am afraid that it will be humiliating to give it to her!"

Xiao Yi opened the box and saw that the small scale rod was dark in color, only half a foot long, and half the thickness of the little finger, very small and exquisite. Then Wu Yi lowered his head, thoughtfully, and listened to the elder again,

"Treasure gift hero, someone has already told me just now, you have no complaints for half a month, for the sake of my Qitianmen, I am grateful, I will hand it over to you, I can rest assured! Well, rest assured!"

The elder's voice became smaller and smaller, and Xiao Yi saw that his pupils were dilated, and he was afraid that he would be powerless. He shook his head slightly at Wu Yi, Wu Yi understood that when he came to investigate again, he was already out of breath. Wu Yi burst into tears, the cry shook the sky, and several cronies in the house were also grief-stricken, crying loudly, and then crying from the inside out, and after that, the whole peak was full of sad sounds.

Three days after the elder's funeral, Xiao Yi received gifts from others, and of course he had to see him off. Elders of all generations are buried here, next to high graves, and Wu Yi personally digs pits and fills in the soil for the elders. Xiao Yi's heart was sour, and finally he kowtowed to the elder with everyone to say goodbye.

There was no reason to stay, Xiao Yi said goodbye to Wu Yi, and Wu Yi thanked him verbally for a while, but he did not stay. Before leaving, Xiao Yi also went to visit Xiao Tang, who was being treated, Xiao Tang recovered well, he was able to get out of bed and walk, he talked to Xiao Yi vigorously, it seemed that no one had said a word to him in the past three days.

Bidding farewell to this Qitianmen, Xiao Yi hurried to Leiyin Temple non-stop. Bai Qingtong Lu was waiting here anxiously, but the situation over there was complicated, and he could only add to the chaos in the past. Garlic is delicious and fun in this temple, and I play with the Shi seniors all day long, I didn't think that the Shi seniors were so serious when they cooked, and the smell of garlic was similar to that of the uncle. Fortunately, Tong Lu had a lot of silver on him, so he wouldn't be driven out of the mountain gate by the monks. Garlic heard that there was a fight on Xiao Yi's side, but he was not interested at all, he had never heard of Qi Tianmen, only said that it must be a small sect, where to use him to make a move.

Tong Lu Baiqing saw Xiao Yi again, and asked the east and west vigorously, he captured the king's bravery, which made the two of them proud, and Tong Lu even saw a monk and stopped and talked to him for a long time. Xiao Yi only felt that this temple was very quiet, and he also wanted to stay a few more days to relieve the hard work of more than half a month. After the three of them finished eating, they sat at the temple gate to rest, although the sun was scorching, but under the shade of the tree, it was dry and comfortable. Xiao Yi leaned on the trunk of the big tree, listened to Tong Lu chew the root of his tongue, and talked about the interesting points, which caused the monks who were listening to laugh more than once.

A pilgrim called a fellow Taoist in front of the temple, and the two gathered together and began to talk,

"Hey, I just heard someone at the bottom of the mountain that a lot of people died on the Qitian Gate!"

"This Qi Tianmen is so good, how can so many lives be lost?",

"It seems to be poisoned, I heard that the death is extremely scary, I don't dare to go to see it, or hurry up to the temple to burn incense and worship the Buddha!"

"Yes, yes, I still have to ask the Buddha for his blessing!"

“......”

Xiao Yi was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly pulled the man to ask the reason, the person was also hearsay, there was no real basis, but Xiao Yi had an ominous premonition, there might really be something big happening, he hurriedly explained the reason to Bai Qing Tong Lu, Bai Qing thought that his medical skills could come in handy, Tong Lu also said that his dagger could protect Bai Qing, so just go with the three of them. Garlic and Shi seniors went to play in the back mountain, and they couldn't come back for a while, the little monk stayed in the temple, but he was also at ease, this is a big temple, since the garlic was relieved to let him stay in the temple, he must also have great confidence in the monks here. Xiao Yi didn't want anything else, so he took Bai Qingtong Lu to the Qi Tianmen.

The two peaks were not far away, and the three of them didn't take much time to reach the mountain gate. I saw that a lot of people had gathered at the mountain gate, and there were officers and soldiers guarding the road and not allowing them to pass. Xiao Yi said in his heart, if something really happened! He took Bai Qing up the mountain, but was stopped, so that he would not be allowed to go up the mountain, Xiao Yi simply didn't care about anything else, this half month was indeed not in vain, what is the difficulty of finding a remote path. The three of them followed the trail up to the summit.

"Who are you and how are you here!"

Xiao Yi returned to the officer and soldier, and said,

"We are doctors, I heard that someone has been poisoned here, let's see if there are any survivors!"

The man will be skeptical, and say,

"Everything that can run is gone, and there seems to be a half-dead one, right over there, and what he should have said has been said, just waiting to die. If you have a way, go and see!"

Xiao Yi and the three of them hurried over to check, and when Xiao Yi saw the man, he shouted,

"Little Five, why are you here, why are you poisoned?!"

Xiao Wu muttered in his mouth,

"Xiao Tang, Xiao Tang!"

He kept saying this name in his mouth, and Xiao Yi already understood that it was a good thing that Xiao Tang did! Xiao Wu chattered for a while, and he died of anger, he was bruised all over, and he must have been poisoned and forgotten. Xiao Yi searched everywhere, and the big boss, the second boss, and everyone he knew or didn't know were almost poisoned on the spot. He sat on the ground, hugged his head and cried. Bai Qing hugged him and didn't say a word, at this time, only silently by his side was the best support.

There were many more officers and soldiers, and it was not until sunset that the hundreds of corpses were properly disposed of, and when they saw that Xiao Yi and the three of them were still here, the official came over and said to the three of them,

"Don't go anywhere first, although we have registered, but this matter has not been clarified, we will grieve you for a few days. Then Xiao Tang, you really have nothing to do with him?"

Xiao Yi nodded, this is the sixth time he has answered this question today,

"It's really irrelevant, it's just to help the big boss together, this is how we got together, who would have thought that he was so cruel that he would poison this water!"

The officer nodded, and led the men away, leaving a team of men and horses to guard the temple and continue to investigate the poisoning tragedy.

"Brother Xiaoyi, this poison is really powerful, such a big pool of water, it can be so violent!"

Xiao Yi nodded and said,

"We must find out the reason and avenge these hundreds of brothers!"

Tong Lu Baiqing was always by his side, giving him infinite strength.

At the top of this peak, it was half a month, and the official investigation was fruitless, so he collected all the clues and went down the mountain. Bai Qing studied the poison every day, but he was never able to crack it. In the pool of water, the toxicity is growing, and even the aquatic plants cannot survive.

In order to remind the world, Xiao Yi had to carve words on the stone wall, but this literate person was a minority after all, so he painted a simple and intuitive mural.

"Brother Xiaoyi, you have been running for more than ten days, and you have searched all over this Tiantai Mountain, you can't find it here, where can you find it! Hey, there is no point in us staying, let's go!"

Tong Lu Yi Xiao Yi said, Xiao Yi looked at the mural he had just painted, tilted his head to the side, thoughtfully, and replied for a long time.

"Okay, let's go!"
