Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Attacked

Long Baiyue was so frightened that she suddenly woke up: "Run away." As soon as she sat up, she was thrown down by Zi Mian.As soon as Zi Mian's body pressed down on her, she heard a row of bamboo arrows sticking to Zi Mian's back and shooting into the carriage, nailed into a dense row on the inner wall of the carriage. "This weapon is not right." Zi Mian tilted her head to observe the bamboo arrows nailed in the carriage - it can fire seven arrows at a time, this kind of crossbow is not even available in the Imperial Palace Guards. Long Baiyue was so overwhelmed by Zi Mian that she rolled her eyes and wanted to look outside, but the sound of cold arrows whizzing outside the car and the screams of soldiers could be heard endlessly, no one dared to stick her head out of the car window.

"What should we do? Can we escape?" Long Baiyue whispered in Zi Mian's ear with a bitter face. Her breath made Zi Mian's cheeks feel hot, he was stunned, and found that Long Baiyue's face was flushed by his own pressure, he quickly propped up his body and moved aside carefully.Zi Mian listened intently to the situation outside the car, and said helplessly, "We have to wait for the enemy to approach before we can find a chance to go out, otherwise we won't be able to escape the rain of arrows even if we get off the car." The back arrow finally stopped firing, and the person who had been hiding in the woods and shouting jumped up the mountain road, looked at the fully loaded carriage and shouted excitedly: "Damn, this is a fortune!"

The soldiers who had escaped the stabbing under the car got out at this time, drew their weapons and confronted the bandits.However, after losing more than half of the troops, in the face of the bandits that kept pouring out, they could barely resist for a while. "It's time." Zi Mian stood up suddenly, grabbed Long Baiyue's wrist, "Come with me." Long Baiyue was in a daze, and was dragged out of the car by Zi Mian in a daze. When she landed, she almost sat on the ground.There were dead and wounded soldiers all over the ground, and the blood quickly stained her uppers red. Long Baiyue's legs softened, but Zi Mian grabbed her and said, "If you want to vomit, you have to run and vomit."

He picked up the sword in the hands of a dead body, pulled Long Baiyue and ran into the woods.Long Baiyue's face was pale, but she finally suppressed her overwhelming stomach, and her limp legs became more at ease after a few steps - she couldn't keep holding him back. "Boss, two get out of the car!" A sharp-eyed bandit spotted them and rushed up with a knife. "Monks don't kill monks, catch the living ones!" The bandit leader shouted from a distance, seeing Zi Mian's Taoist robes of good quality, his eyes flashed. A bandit blocked them with a horizontal knife, Zi Mian protected Long Baiyue behind him, raised his sword with his right hand and knocked down the knife in the bandit's hand with a loud bang.With a twist of his wrist, he pulled out a sword flower, slid the sword sideways onto the bandit's shoulder, and knelt on the ground against the bandit with the blade of the sword. With a flick of his left hand, a Taoist talisman slapped against the bandit's forehead.

This talisman stunned the bandits and Zi Mian.Long Baiyue stammered and asked, "What are you doing?" Oops, I'm used to catching ghosts, and the movement of sticking symbols has become instinctive.How to use the sword in actual combat? ——Is it necessary to use stabs after spinning and clapping?Zi Mian was startled, she put away her sword, kicked the bandit's door close to the Dao talisman, and pulled Long Baiyue back into the woods. The bandit leader here split open the box containing the saltpeter and shouted angrily, "This is what the military adviser wants us to grab? What a piece of crap!"

A young man searched Zi Mian's carriage for a while, and excitedly pulled out a stack of bank notes: "Mom! A lot of money!" The bandit leader kicked him, grabbed the famous thorn in his other hand, glanced at it, and spat on the ground: "Damn it, that Taoist priest is still a Beijing official! Listen, brothers, he must be alive! Catch it!" Zi Mian and Long Baiyue, who broke into the woods, ran for their lives holding hands.A poisonous snake was trampled on its tail by Zi Mian, and it screamed and turned around to bite. Before it could show its teeth, its head was squashed flat by Long Baiyue.

The two ran wildly for a while, but couldn't run anymore, so they hid behind an old locust tree to catch their breath.The pursuers hadn't caught up yet, so Zi Mian leaned over and groped the ground for a while, and found six stones. "What are you doing?" Long Baiyue asked him out of breath. "Although you can't cast spells, Shi Zhan should be fine." Zi Mian threw the stones in her hand on the ground, fiddled with them intently. To the east is the gate of life, and it should be possible to escape. He put the stone back into his sleeve, got up and led Long Baiyue: "Go east, there should be nothing wrong."

Long Baiyue's hands were held by Zi Mian, her mind was twisted, and she was secretly happy that it was a blessing in disguise, but her legs and feet were scratched by shrubs like raspberries, which hurt so much, and she couldn't allow her to think about it. "It seems that we have already got rid of those people, right?" Long Baiyue asked Zi Mian in a low voice. "Maybe," Zi Mian pondered, he was walking according to the number of the Big Dipper, and he should be able to get rid of people who don't understand the formation, "But don't relax, even if there are no chasing soldiers, it is not safe to stay in the dense forest. "

"Oh." Long Baiyue nodded and thought for a while, "Are those people real bandits or the prime minister?" "The prime minister probably won't get the news so quickly and take action." Unless he was betrayed, the idea flashed through Zimian's mind, but he immediately rejected it. Martial arts, at first glance, is from a layman's background, to be able to succeed, nothing more than relying on the sharp weapon at the beginning." After finishing speaking, Zi Mian was puzzled—the weapons used by those people were too sophisticated. How could ordinary mountain grass bandits master such a clever repeating crossbow?

"Ah, it doesn't look like you know how to use swordsmanship?" Long Baiyue spoke happily, not seeing Zi Mian's pensive face. "It's just the tricks of beheading ghosts on the altar, it won't happen any more." Zi Mian recalled that she even took out the Dao Talisman from her arms at a critical moment, and she looked embarrassed. "However, it's still very powerful..." Long Baiyue sighed. Before she could finish expressing her feelings, Zi Mian in front of her fell down and flew into the air with a slamming sound, causing Long Baiyue to cover her eyes and scream wildly.

"Don't bark, be careful to attract the pursuers." Long Baiyue heard Zi Mian's helpless voice, she let go of her hand, stared at Zi Mian's face hanging upside down in a daze. "It's nothing, I stepped on the hunter's buckle." As an ordinary person staying in the woods, it is indeed in danger. "Do you want it?" Long Baiyue asked worriedly seeing Zi Mian's ugly face. "It's nothing, just a little dizzy." Zi Mian helplessly rolled his eyes and looked at the ground. He can now look at Long Baiyue at eye level, which is quite high enough. Hanging upside down made Zi Mian dizzy and chest tight, and her throat hurt even when speaking, she had to get down as soon as possible.He had no choice but to discuss with Long Baiyue: "If I cut the rope, can you hold me a little?" "Okay, okay." Long Baiyue nodded hurriedly, stretching out her hand to protect Zi Mian. Zi Mian exerted strength on her waist and tried to lift her body up, but it was extremely laborious—the guide map given by her master usually, he disliked being a monkey and a bear, so he has been refusing to practice seriously, and now it is too late to regret it. Taking a deep breath, after trying again and again, the tip of the sword finally caught the rope, and with a swipe, the whole person fell downside down immediately without weight, but the posture of the upside down changed in mid-air, and Zimian fell flat on the ground—— When he fell, Long Baiyue held his head in his arms. Zi Mian breathed a sigh of relief, but found that Long Baiyue was trembling. "I'm fine." He forced a smile, feeling that his waist was about to break—he couldn't be considered a qualified man without reason. "I can't go blind anymore," Long Baiyue pretended to wipe the sweat with her sleeves, and secretly wiped away the disappointing tears, "Should I still go east?" Yes, still go east?Zi Mian was stunned—could his formula be wrong? Did he have a calm divination at that time?Even he himself forgot. Long Baiyue knelt on the ground, looked at Zi Mian in her arms with dim eyes, and suddenly felt a movement in her heart: "Go east, you can't go wrong." ...I believe what you say... ——Why should she believe what he said?Based on the word of trust, even if he is a fatuous fool? Zi Mian's heart tightened, and she smiled slightly: "Okay." Long Baiyue helped Zi Mian up, and the two supported each other and walked east all the way until dusk. The road was broken. There is a river of flowing water, but the opposite bank is a cliff.Is this path really wrong?Zi Mian looked at the gurgling water at her feet with some frustration. At this moment, Long Baiyue tugged on his sleeve, and pointed to a place more than ten meters downstream of the water: "Look, maybe it's not a dead end." Zi Mian looked at Long Baiyue's finger, and was stunned—a place ten meters downstream, a huge waterwheel came down from a cliff more than ten feet high, driven by water power, and the layers of wood The drawers are immersed in the water in turn, slowly leading the water up the mountain. "You mean we can use this waterwheel to go up to the cliff?" Long Baiyue's thought made Zi Mian amazed - the flowing water is not urgent, and the waterwheel only dared to use a shallow wooden drawer to carry a small amount of water up the mountain. , Adding the weight of two people out of thin air, are you afraid that the water truck will break down halfway and the two of them will be suspended in mid-air? Long Baiyue frowned, and bit her lips in frustration: "Is it not possible?" Zi Mian froze, slowly changed her expression, looked at her with a smile: "Give it a try." Try it—he'll believe what she says. Zi Mian folded the long sleeves and tried to step into the water. When he stood still, he stretched out his hand to Long Baiyue: "Come on, I'll carry you across the river." Her water quality is indeed bad enough, and Long Baiyue knows it well, but she still frowns worriedly and hesitates. "Hurry up," Zi Mian urged her while standing in the water, paused, and whispered, "Trust me." Fool, it's not that I don't believe you, it's that I love you... Gritting her teeth, Long Baiyue made up her mind and resolutely stepped into the water.The water just passed Zi Mian's waist, but it was almost up to her chest, her feet slipped, but fortunately Zi Mian took her hand and led her to grab her shoulder. "Let's go." Zi Mian felt that Long Baiyue had grasped herself firmly, and nimbly sank into the water. God, is he a fish?Long Baiyue felt that Zi Mian was so slippery that she could hardly catch her, so she hurriedly hugged him tightly. "Please, I'm not a fish." After diving for a while, Zi Mian's head came out of the water and coughed, "Relax, don't wrap your arms around my neck, or I'll be pushed into the water by you." "Oh, I'm sorry." Long Baiyue hurriedly adjusted her posture. "My hair is stuck in my eyes, help me." Zi Mian said to Long Baiyue who was lying behind him in a daze while swimming. "Oh." Long Baiyue hastily reached forward, touched Zi Mian's forehead, and brushed away the broken hair for him. Such an intimate and considerate action made Long Baiyue's heart tremble uncontrollably, thinking of the word "Xiangxiangyimo" - it's really an intoxicating word, but what is the next sentence of this word? It's better to forget each other in the rivers and lakes than to stay in love with each other. Which one he wanted, she dared not ask him. Zi Mian followed the water flow and slowly approached the running waterwheel.The noise of the waterwheel machinery was getting louder and louder, which frightened Long Baiyue.From a distance, she felt that the waterwheel looked like a toy, but when she got closer, she realized that it was simply a monster—an empty wooden box slammed into the water, sank into an invisible depth, and then surfaced layer by layer On the surface of the water, the water ran up after taking a mouthful like a duck's beak, and made terrible creaking noises. The water splashed by the waterwheel hit Long Baiyue's face, making her unable to open her eyes. She began to regret her recklessness just now.At this time, Zi Mian suddenly grabbed a wooden shelf and shouted: "Hold your breath, hold me tight." They suddenly submerged and were carried by the water truck to the depths of the river. The huge buoyancy pulled them, and the pressure of the water squeezed their chests with pain.Long Baiyue pressed her face against Zi Mian's back, enduring the pain, her fingernails couldn't help digging into Zi Mian's shoulder tightly. After scooping up the water, the waterwheel finally surfaced and began to climb the cliff. Zi Mian and Long Baiyue were still hanging on the wooden drawer.Seeing that the wooden drawer had been placed firmly, Zi Mian breathed a sigh of relief, stepped on the lower wooden drawer, and held firmly the wooden pole that fixed the wooden drawer. "Zi Mian, do you think this waterwheel will be weak?" Long Baiyue asked tremblingly behind his ear. "Are you only starting to worry now?" Zi Mian sneered at her helplessly, looking up, hoping to reach the top of the cliff soon. However, the water truck moved very slowly, humming and humming, and it was not as fierce as when it was just scooping water.Fortunately, the waterwheel was really strong, and it carried two people for nothing, and nothing happened.The cliff with a height of more than ten feet is not a long way, and after a while, the water wheel took Zi Mian and Long Baiyue to climb to the top of the cliff. Zi Mian seized the opportunity to jump off the waterwheel and put Long Baiyue down.The two stood firm and looked up, but were suddenly stunned. On the cliff, the waterwheel sent water to the top of a pavilion, and then poured it down.The water flows down the grooves on the top of the pavilion like umbrella ribs, and the fine grooves allow the falling water to envelop the pavilion like a crystal curtain.There is a faint figure in the pavilion, lying on the mat on the mat, humming a little song comfortably. "This is the water palace that is said to only be found in the Hou Shu imperial palace, why did it appear here?" Zi Mian felt faintly uneasy. What kind of dragon and tiger is hidden in this mountain? The people in the pavilion found them, giggled, got up nimbly and jumped out of the water curtain.The little man landed neatly in front of them, wearing a short jacket, trousers loose, and a high ponytail. This dress is for a boy, but both Long Baiyue and Zi Mian immediately recognized that "he" is a daughter's family - Long Baiyue is due to his profession and has a lot of knowledge; Qi is like written in big characters and pasted on everyone's face, how could it be hidden from the eyes of Taoists. The girl was holding a bamboo tube the size of a pillow in her hand, and she was also looking at Zi Mian and the others with a smile, her clever eyes looking forward.Just when Long Baiyue was lucky enough to meet a kind family and wanted to ask for help, the girl suddenly turned around and shouted: "Li Gang—you mean a Taoist priest and a woman, right?" Zi Mian and Long Baiyue were stunned. The girl turned around, grinned strangely, pointed the bamboo tube in her arms at them, and pulled the mechanism. ——A white light flew out from the bamboo tube, and a huge net suddenly opened, enclosing Zi Mian and Long Baiyue.
