Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen

Tie Di waited for the three onlookers to know clearly, and Monk Fang Jue said that he didn't want to be helped. Although he seemed to have a deep hatred, one against two, the two opponents were definitely not weak, and there must be some confidence in this statement.At the same time, I saw that the man surnamed Ma was standing on the half-cliff slope, his eyes were fixed, he was looking down, and suddenly he glanced at his side very quickly, as if he hated himself for meddling in his own business, and was furious, knowing that he had planted poison.The three of them wanted to help each other, although they didn't mean it, but they knew that these two murderers were definitely not easy to provoke, so they gestured to each other and kept each other on guard.Tie Di thought to himself: "I just spoke in a very low voice. These two murderers have never cared about us. Could it be that the words of Master Yao and I can't be heard?" Staying in a daze, their faces suddenly changed at the same time, and they grinned grimly at each other.Just as the one surnamed Mu was about to speak, the one surnamed Ma had already spoken first. From the two sides facing each other, his face was full of sternness, and it was even worse in the second half. Said: "Twelfth brother, don't remember any past grudges, just listen to me. How long can you live in the morning? We are all quite old, why should you be so serious? If you hadn't suffered too much at the beginning, how could you have today? Achievements? There is no need to mention the grievances and grievances in the past, no matter what, you are much better than us now. We know that you are grateful to the teacher, and you may not forget those few relics and Shaoyang’s secret formula. We will take them all within three days. All this is my fault and has nothing to do with Fifth Junior Brother. I really don’t want to, after three days you just tell me the place, and I will be there, how about ending this public case?”

The monk Fang smiled and said: "Do you really think I am a child? Don't say that I am the revenge of killing my master and my sister..." Before the next words came out, the surname Mu started to speak, but suddenly stopped, He also changed his smile and looked down.Seeing this side, the three of them already expressed their intention to ask for peace, and they wanted to listen to the monk's tone. They knew that they had been gnawing their teeth for many years, and they had the hatred of killing their master and sister, how could they let it go so easily?The second thief said such nonsense, it was embarrassing for nothing, it would be better to take advantage of the monk and escape without help.According to what I have heard, the skill of the two sides is neither equal nor much different, even if they are invincible, they can always escape.This kind of villain has no faith, and if they try to escape separately, they will not all die. What are these pustules for?My mind just moved, and in the blink of an eye, I suddenly heard a hissing sound, and a puff of yellow smoke with very fine sparks was sent down from the cliff, aiming at the monk, and it was as urgent as electricity, suddenly Unexpectedly, it is fierce and evil.The three couldn't help being taken aback.

It turned out that the Mu thief was more dangerous. He had seen that he would not be good that day, so he made preparations in secret. With this condescending posture, he beat him down silently. The thing was just taken out from his side, about a foot long, and shaped like a copper pipe. , the release is like a faint yellow gas, and the musket also seems to shoot downward.Tie and Nan once heard from their teacher that it is believed to be the poisoned sand torch of the Lianshan Sect. Not only is it a hundred times more powerful than ordinary muskets, but the poisonous sand emitted is like a stream of yellow phosgene, mixed with countless small sparks the size of rice grains, and it is extremely powerful. Big, no matter where it hits, it will explode at that time, and it also has a strange poison, the end is extremely vicious.There are still a few murder weapons in the religion that are of this kind. Although the rules of the religion are extremely strict, people will not offend him, and he will not offend others. It is unique among the righteous and evil sects.People in the Orthodox Church saw that he was determined to cultivate hard, his conduct was resolute, and he had always lived in seclusion in the mountains. In the past two or three generations, there were not many disciples, and he seldom went out. , although nothing happened for the time being.But there are too many weapons of this kind, and people's hearts are divided. If it is passed on, the number of disciples will inevitably increase in the future. If someone uses it for evil, wouldn't it be annoying?At the beginning, all the old swordsmen visited Limu Mountain to persuade them, but the leader of the last generation refused to listen. He insisted that it was very difficult for his apprentices to get started, and he had to go through many tests before being accepted, and the laws and regulations were extremely strict. To save people, we will never do evil outside.And those who went to promise that if other people dare to do evil outside, don't say that they should correct the religious rules, then he himself will punish himself in public depending on the size of the matter.People who went there saw that although he was self-willed, he was quite upright, unlike other evil sects, so they had to listen to what he said for the time being.

Unexpectedly, not two years later, I suddenly heard that the leader of the sect, Yang Gen Dao, was going to become an immortal. The most talented disciples were twelve disciples and some grandchildren. In that fairy industry, no one will accept disciples anymore, so there is no news.The whereabouts of his disciples and grandchildren have always been secretive, and they don't make trouble outside, except that they themselves meet each other and talk a few words. They are very close to each other, and they don't reveal a word to anyone outside the sect, even his wife's flesh and blood, so no one. Know whereabouts again.All the teachers who happened to talk about it said that the teacher was either dead, or she was hiding from the world, and there is absolutely no reason to become a fairy. This is a rumor deliberately made by the disciples.Because he seldom shows his presence, he only heard that there are religious people living in seclusion on the plateau, and Lao Tie Dizi went to investigate, but found nothing. Unexpectedly, he met here, and he was one of his twelve disciples.

Thinking of the power of the yellow sand poisonous fire, I was shocked.He was drinking in a low voice: "Miss Wen, be careful!" It was too late to say it, and it was too late, and the surname Ma was originally uneasy and kind, and at this time he also made an attack together, raising his hand to shoot a string of dozens of bean-sized green lights from the inside of his cuff.Only then did the three of them see that the two thieves on the cliff had prepared in advance, they deliberately stood upright and slanted, attacking from both sides, so that the enemy could not defend themselves, their intentions were really insidious.The heart was enraged, because the two thieves were in such a hurry, they couldn't even turn their thoughts, their eyes were everywhere, the situation had changed, it turned out that the monk was also an expert at this, and he was prepared, the yellow smoke and poisonous sand hit down like a thunderbolt. The drooping left hand has already raised itself, but the hand has not been seen. With a whistling sound, a weapon suddenly protrudes from the cuff, shaped like a full moon, and also like a netting bag, but it is shallow, and the hand is enlarged, and it will open. The radius is about two or three feet, just blocking the front, first wrapping up the yellow smoke, and raising the other hand slightly at the same time, the wooden fish and the hammer fell into the cuff, and pressing the palm forward, it happened to be like a rainstorm of green sparks from a horse thief After a series of hits, the eating monk's palms volleyed outwards, and only heard the whistling sound, the first puff of yellow smoke and sparks had been completely swept away by something like a net bag, and the large green fire was also knocked down by the air, flying around , The sound of big and small explosions is like fireworks in the first month, making a lot of noise, and it dies in a blink of an eye.The two thieves seemed to know that the plot would fail, and they each stopped, but they still stood where they were.But the monk walked up, moved more slowly, walked a few steps and stood still again.

At this time, the setting sun had already set, and the remaining half of the round hadn't sunk. When the light came back, the trees on the large cliff slopes were all red, and the poisonous fire from the new explosion fell on the decaying grass and was ignited, and some even the rocks on the mountain were exploded. No change, the two poisonous smoke and poisonous fires were collected by him, and they were beaten, and there was a burst of popping sound, and they were eliminated at the same time, and even a short tree that was injured by the poisonous fire was also extinguished by splitting the air .After walking a few steps forward, seeing that the two people above did not move, he stood still and asked again: "You two evil bodies are full, you killed the master, and before you died, you tried every means to steal the five poisonous god sand and the green phosphorous beads that were hidden in the mountainside. Come out, you want to take advantage of me being caught off guard last time or something useful, you have tried it just now, may you hurt me? To tell you the truth, how many years have I worked so hard to avenge my master and sister, so as to eliminate this great harm for the world No. The future has already found out your details, not to mention your two accomplices. I invited you to go there a few days ago. He knows my temper and doesn't have a few good bones. Well, let you come here in both light and dark, civil and military, unless you have killed me to the point of speechlessness like fifty years ago, or there is hope of escape, otherwise you have stolen these two murder weapons for several years, and the crimes committed here are unknown. How much, don't say that there are old debts from the past, so according to the rules of the teacher, you have to deal with it according to the oath you swore in the past. Anyway, if you follow me, why not be generous and want to alarm the people nearby, the result is still inevitable, why bother come?"

While speaking, the faces of the two thieves became more and more ferocious, especially the horse thief followed the monk's forward momentum and stepped back a few steps. At first it was very scary, and then wanted to desperately, but knowing that this move was unlucky, he wanted to start but stopped.Mu Thief walked down from the pavilion watching the enemy below, seeming to be walking towards Tongdang, but also guarding against the monk's sudden attack, his expression was extremely nervous.The three saw that although he hadn't made a move, his upper body was trembling faintly, they knew that these two thieves were very powerful, they didn't know why the enemy was so afraid of the law, they clearly had a way out, yet they refused to escape, they were puzzled.This time, it was the monk who was quicker to attack. At the end of the sentence, seeing the other party glaring at each other, he had no words to answer, and suddenly rushed up.The three of them had good eyesight, they didn't see the real thing, they only felt a figure flash in the slanting sunlight at that time, the monk and the field mouse were as anxious as an arrow and had already reached the top of the cliff.Tie Dizi first saw the fierce eyes of the horse thief and then glanced at himself from time to time, knowing that he hated him very much and wanted to take revenge, so he reminded the two daughters, but unexpectedly the monk moved so fast, and even left the horse thief and rushed towards Mu thief first .As soon as he saw that Mu Ze's hand was raised towards his side, the monk happened to rush over. The two sides only met each other, and heard two whirring sounds, and the two shimmering lights reflected the setting sun. Hearing a roar of "That's all", and then seeing that Mu thief seemed to be still standing on the ground, he felt strange.Unexpectedly, the horse thief had already seized the opportunity to jump up, this leap was really high and far away, like a frightened bird throwing itself into the forest, the arrow shot quickly and flew towards the three people's heads.

The three of them had guarded against it a long time ago, but they didn't expect it to come so quickly. The horse thief wanted to harm others before he fled. He finally took precautions in advance. His skills are high, and the weapons and hidden weapons are all ready-made, and the long clothes are taken off early, so they are easy to use. , Tie Dizi was even more careful because he heard the origin of the two thieves. Seeing the horse thief glaring several times, the poisonous fire and poisonous sand were so powerful, thinking of being frightened, he secretly shook the iron flute, a sharp weapon passed down by his teacher that was not easily used at his waist, and transported it Looking at each other with qi, the other hand was holding the hook and the handle of the gun. In the busy schedule, he caught a glimpse of the figure of the horse thief flying obliquely from the opposite slope. The momentum was fierce and anxious. At this moment, the iron flute with his left hand waved outwards, the hook with his left hand rode the enemy's hand and was wounded, he flew forward to send it, and just stabbed the enemy's back with a spear, he felt that it was as hard as iron, and he was shocked when he didn't penetrate it. , the second iron flute is about to be released, and the hidden weapons in the hands of the two women have been hit together.

The horse thief wanted to hurt someone, but he was busy escaping for his life, because the three of them were all dressed like natives in the village, young and overly self-confident, they were arrogant enemies, so they first planned to catch two in the air, and then they were about to beat the other when they flew by. If you can't escape, you can use these two young men as a shield. As long as the enemy cherishes human life and is scrupled by the old rules of the master's school, if he lets go that day, he will have the hope of escape.Unexpectedly, the martial arts of the three people are very high, even if they fight against each other, they will not be defeated by the iron flute in their hands.What's more, the opponent has already prepared, missed a single blow, and was attacked from three sides, how can it be done?Because he wanted to send the poisonous fire back when someone passed by, he made a wrong idea, and after a moment of negligence, he caught a glimpse of the three people running away one after another, and in his busy schedule, he saw that the first one was holding an iron flute in his hand, his heart moved slightly, and there was a whistling sound. The gangster energy has been swept towards the right hand, it was a heavy blow at that time, it was not because of the high skill that the arm was broken, the pain was so painful, I panicked, how could I care about hurting others?Besides, the two girls avoided both of them, and they couldn't catch them.

The horse thief was in a hurry and had already passed through the air. He was shot in the back in pain and panic. Although he didn't stab, the pain was not light.Just barely waiting to fall with true energy, I felt that escape was the most important thing, just at this moment when the opportunity was not for a moment, I hit a few hidden weapons in succession.When the two daughters saw that he plotted and committed the murder without any reason, they couldn't help being furious and shouting and cursing at the same time.Because the two women's weapons were heavy, they didn't expect that the horse thief would come to attack, so they didn't take out, but each took a few hidden weapons to guard secretly. When they saw the horse thief's viciousness, they were about to pick up their weapons and chase after them, when a small shadow was like lightning. Flying by the side of the three of them, falling in the air, flying higher and farther.The horse thief had landed first and was about to fly away when he heard the wind blowing above his head. A black shadow and a gust of wind pressed down on him. He seemed to know that he was doomed, his hand was seriously injured, and his head, shoulders and back were hit several times , couldn't do it even if he tried his best, he only roared for a while, suddenly put his hands down, stood still, and his face became even more stern.

That black shadow was the monk, he had split his arms evenly, but Huang Ying caught the rabbit and struck him on the head, and when he saw this, he stopped and lightly landed in front of the horse thief, saying: "No matter good or evil, you still pretend to be someone, why bother to be so embarrassing? I first saw that the fifth child had murderous intentions towards those three teenagers, so as to prevent him from plotting against him. I don't want others to be kind to me, and it is not hopeless for you to find time to escape before my true anger is full. I want to protect these three boys. Young man, this is my first meeting, I don't know the basics, I suspect that they are definitely not your enemies, I have already gritted my teeth and endured the pain, and I plan to invite you all away today, leaving you alone, and you can escape wherever you want, but if you spend a little more work, you will still be able to escape sooner or later. If I can catch it, the fifth child and those two accomplices will get a few more days of interest, so I can let go of the enmity that I had in the past. Who knows that you are so worthless. I have lost sight of those three young men, and when you took the opportunity to commit murder Injured you. You guys are the same after all. It's so exhausting that I have accepted the love twice. Where did this come from? The fifth child has already understood that I am taking revenge on behalf of my teacher and sister. Don't see me disposing of it according to the old rules of my sect. In addition, there is an old man who is a generation older than me as the host, even if I am no match for you today, this old man will not let you slip through the net, who should understand this?" When he said that, the three little brothers and sisters had left the slope. Chased away, Mu Zeben also came calmly on the cliff, stood aside without saying a word, both of them seemed to be filled with remorse, cursed, and gritted their teeth to bear the pain.The horse thief's wrist was severely injured by the iron flute, and he looked better. Mu thief and the enemy only met face to face, and made slight contact, but he didn't fall down. My whole body was shaking. Residents near the left were advised by Mo'er and Sanmao separately, saying that the iron flute greeted first, and they must prevent accidental injury. When the three of them were in the local area again, they gradually surrounded them tentatively from far to near.Tie Dizi felt that the two thieves were unpredictable, and Xio looked at the snake and tiger of the minions, a little angered but still unavoidable, and was waving his hands not to order him to come forward, and asked San Mao to dissuade them, the monk had already smiled at the three of them and said: " Are you the disciples of Brother Tiedizi? Today, I have helped you a lot, and we will see each other again. I don’t want to surprise my eyes and ears and cause rumors. Fortunately, there are few people here, and they can listen to you. Please share a few words You can say whatever you want, as long as you don’t make it public, you’ll be grateful.” When the three of them heard the titles of monk and master, they hurriedly worshiped and asked about the origin of their names.The monk hurriedly stopped him and said with a smile: "I am a Kushami. I don't have time to talk at this time. Maybe we will meet later. I am temporarily living in a nearby mountain and I will leave after I am done. How about we go our separate ways?" The three knew that he had taken the two thieves to revenge in the cave where they lived, and also captured two accomplices. First, they wanted to go with them to find out their whereabouts. Return to your seat.Looking at the Kushami alone in front of him, the two thieves followed closely behind with their heads downcast.The monk didn't walk up very fast, neither afraid of the two thieves plotting behind him, nor preventing him from escaping, without looking back, he walked towards the secluded mountain path beside the cliff, and disappeared into the woods in a blink of an eye.Wen Ying was curious, and everyone was full of wine and food, and felt that there was not much detour, so he planned to follow.Tie Dizi said strongly: "No, it's not today to look for him. We have something to do, and we just made a move. I'm glad that no strangers are here. We should be more careful. It's important to go back to the mountain first." For the money for food and drink, Sanmao was asked to go to another house to inquire about whether he had found any strangers. Relying on his usual popularity, he advised the villagers present for a while, and he was not even allowed to mention his own traces.Fortunately, there are not many people, and it spreads in a blink of an eye.The three of them got up and walked towards Xintaoyuan.On the way, looking back, there was no trace of anyone, so he hurriedly accelerated his pace and galloped forward. At this time, it was dusk and the beginning of the mountain was rising, blocked by the side cliffs, the scene was dark, the cold wind was blowing, and the scenery in the last winter was very barren and cold.If it were an ordinary person, they would not be able to see a few feet away. The three of them walked quickly because they had developed their eyesight and were familiar with the road.First, the monk said that he lived in the nearby mountains. Apart from Xintaoyuan, there are only two large caves behind the high cliffs in the southeast, and the terrain is also the most secluded. I also feel that the strange monk Kushami walks much slower, maybe you can find it on the way, so pay special attention. While walking, I suddenly looked sideways at the southeast half of the sky, and there seemed to be two flashes of fire in the sky, and there seemed to be a figure looming in the fire, and then I saw that there was no trace.Tie Dizi is the most familiar with geography, and he thought to himself: "There is only one part of the high cliff in the southeast of the village where you can see a corner of the cliff top, and it is not very long. If you don't pay attention, you will not be able to see it if you walk by here on weekdays. New Taoyuan The terrain is secluded, and this high cliff is a barrier to the southeast. Because of the twists and turns of the mountain road, it looks like a spiral, with many divergent paths, and it is difficult for outsiders to find it. There is only a gap of one or two feet, and the distance is less than ten miles. I used to feel that If outsiders come here to spy, this is a loophole. I once discussed it with my brothers and sisters in the village, and after a long time, I found that nothing happened, and asked everyone to come here to look at it. Anyone who has not been instructed will try a few times in a row. One person saw it. This is the main road leading to the entrance of the mountain village. Outsiders have never found any footprints. Even if there are people who go deep into the mountains, they will fork into the Ershisanwan and Shiqipan valleys on the way. It is not Lao's The couple left a letter to warn them. The terrain here is relatively high. Although the mountains used to be crowded, they were all close to each other. The fire is quite far away, and it is already half a day high. There seems to be a flash of a figure in the fire, and the fire is very strong. Otherwise, from this distance, at most one or two sparks can be seen, how can people be seen? If it didn't go out in a blink of an eye, there would be a wildfire. According to this estimate, it must have been emitted from the cliff in the southeast of Xintaoyuan. The whole village is surrounded by such dangerous peaks and cliffs, but this cliff is high and dangerous, it is difficult to climb up and down if you are not good at martial arts, and it is behind other people's houses, usually no one pays attention to it. At that time, it is too late to prevent people from prying into the truth, and the people in the village will never raise fire on the high cliff to attract the attention of the enemy." The more he thought about it, the more suspicious he became, so he told the two girls to hurry forward and go forward. Go, even the fire is blocked by the mountains along the way, so you can't see it. In case of an accident in the mountain that night, there are a few weird people living in seclusion near the mountain. I heard that the strange monk Kushami I met just now, even though he is the last descendant of the ancestor Lianshan who founded the mountain hundreds of years ago, their family rules are also very strict. It can be handed down for many years because of this.Until the end of the patriarch Yang Gen, he wanted to carry forward and took in some disciples and grandchildren. After being persuaded by the senior swordsmen, Shang Fengzi and Zhou Yuncong, the last two elders left by the Emei Sect, had a good relationship with Yang Gen. Before leaving, he tried hard to persuade him for three days, but he refused to listen. After a while, there were rumors of becoming a fairy, and all the disciples were dismissed, and the twelve most capable disciples did not know where to go.All the veterans, because they felt that the other party was finally a sect, and Yang Gen's disappearance was suspicious, they had long suspected that something happened in his sect, and after decades, it really came true today.Although their own fire broke out, I have nothing to do with it, and I don't know who the accomplices are. It's an eventful time at the moment, and it's unknown whether this will lead to other changes.In case there are people behind both sides, this matter is not counted.Or if there are still some of these twelve disciples who have been collude with the enemy, wouldn't that cause more trouble?This group of people's abilities are so high and strong, they are self-contained, plus the poisonous fire and poisonous sand in their sect, if they are negligent, they will be hurt.Just now, he became enmity with the two insiders again, if he escapes, it will be a future trouble, how can he be careless!Counting along the way, I didn't realize I approached the mountain pass. I saw the moonlight in front of the pine trees, and the night scene was clear. The climate around the mountain pass was mild.The dying years are coming to an end, and every family is preparing for the new year. Before people arrive, they see lights in the woods looming. It is about ten o'clock. They hear the sound of laughter and know that Laba is over. The mountain people have been busy for a year. Yueming Fengjing is making New Year's goods in her free time. The three of them thought that if something happened in the mountains, people would not be so quiet, so they heard the barking of dogs, first a few big hounds rushed out from the slanting moonlight.Tie and Nan are familiar with dogs, and know that the dogs here are born from the mating of two mastiff hounds and mountain dogs brought back from the Western Regions. There are more than a dozen of them inside and outside the mountain.There are too many small animals stealing vegetables, fruits and grains in Chuyi Mountain, and there are white-fronted green wolves infested, which are used to keep watch at night, so as not to infringe on the field livestock and poultry.Later, I found out that the dog has a good spirit and has nothing to do when it is free. Everyone trained it, and it has been trained to understand people's minds, and can distinguish between good and evil. He really behaved suspiciously, so he stopped the person, roared, or rushed to the end. He didn't obey the master's order, even if the opponent drew a knife to confront him, he would never hurt the person's life, but the force was really shocking.Fearing that Wen Ying might misunderstand, he said with a smile, "This dog won't hurt people, so please don't care about it." There were five dogs in total, the first three came separately from the woods in front, and then they heard the barks beside them. The three of them looked back and found that they were two of the most vicious purebred hounds, and they disappeared and hid behind them. Come, recognize the owner, bark happily, shake their heads and tails, very affectionate.Seeing that the two dogs were as big as donkeys, they were fat and strong after eating, their eyes were like lightning, and their posture was even more fierce. , Because I ignored me, I only heard sister Cui talking about how clever and fierce they are, like these two biggest ones, it is the first time I have seen them. How can such a fierce beast be an opponent?" Nanman said with a smile: "You don't know how powerful they are. As long as you give an order, you can hear it from far away, and they will come at that time. Don't talk about other wild animals, even tigers and wolves in the mountains will be hard to survive when they meet them. That spring, a stalker came nearby. The big tiger, this one hound and another small mongrel dog killed it alive, and the smaller one still held on to the tiger's neck after it died, and was seriously injured. When the other dogs heard the sound and came, the tiger He has died on the ground. The people inside and outside the mountain are only those who live in Xintaoyuan who can hunt, but in fact, more than half of them are thanks to the dogs." Before he finished speaking, four more people galloped from the opposite side.The villagers heard the dogs barking and rushed out of the forest one after another, followed behind the four newcomers, separated by dozens of steps, the three had already recognized that the four in front were the brothers and sisters of the League in the Mountains, Ruyi Jian Centong, and Huating Xiaoshuangxia Xu Li, Xu Guo, and the heroine Cui Zhen flew up to meet them and greeted them at the same time. Although they were all short-clothed and armed with weapons, they were very happy.Facing each other in a blink of an eye, Wenzhi just received a signal from outside the mountain saying that the three of them had already returned to the mountain. Because they found suspicious people outside the mountain, they might not be able to return to the village for the time being, and they had to check carefully before making a decision.Because when Hei Diao came back, he received a letter from Xia Nanying, a heroine with bright moonlight and double swords, who ordered Diao to bring back the information. He learned that the three of them had passed by outside and that the enemy was coming to attack soon. , Suspected that there was an enemy coming from outside the mountain, since he dared to come here to spy in advance, he knew it was unusual.Relying on the fact that more than a dozen friends came from the village, they were not afraid that the enemy would take advantage of the situation, so four people went out to help each other, and they checked the facts and said that there were no accidents in the past few days.The three were relieved. Tie Dizi thought about it all the way, and decided that the seer's fire came from the high cliff in the village. After careful questioning, he had just had dinner, and there were many people who had never left. , so no one sees it.If there is any movement, I have already heard about it.Tie Dizi still had doubts in his heart.Shankou's residence was originally the eyes and ears of Xintaoyuan, and the entrance was in the back garden of the house. Don't say that you can't see it from the outside, if you don't know the details, or you accidentally walk near the entrance, it will definitely be difficult to find, it is extremely secluded.Because Tie Dizi received Lao Xingjian's letter, it seemed that his trace had been leaked, so he discussed with everyone for a while, arranged again, instructed some countermeasures, and Fang Tong walked in.In order to get more and more rumors, the heroes in the mountain were on the same surface as usual, secretly guarded very tightly, and also invited a few friends of heroes from outside to help them defend.As soon as the party entered the mountain pass, the people inside had already received the signal from along the way to welcome them out.Tie and Nan spent the longest time away this time, and they made the most contributions. The three saw that in addition to the original brothers in the village, the hero Zhisheng and the three heroes Tong Mangzi took time out of the mountain one after another, and invited Yuluan and Yunan, the daughter of the old hero Lin Zhe, from the three jades of the Lin family, to join them. Among the five heroes on the mountain, the original Jiabin and the group of male and female heroines left by the recent visitor Dexin totaled about 20 people, only one or two of them were weak, and that day it was Tong Manzi's wife Ye Ruhong Ren Cailuan birthday.Cailuan was originally a female disciple of Lin Yuqiu, one of the three jades of the Lin family, and she has made many friends with her sisters, so she would come here every year to get together.Before the three of them arrived, the whole village was using this as an excuse to set up a banquet.Tie Dizi thought of it when he saw everyone, and thought to himself: "Checking the situation along the way, the fire must have come from a high cliff in the southeast. The nineteenth is because the village is having birthday wine, and it is cold and old, and there is no change on weekdays. When it happened, just be on guard, and the arrangement is very thoughtful. The fire is just now, people are not outside, and it will not be long before it gets dark. The warning sign can be found, but it is a bit negligent. The watchmen only knew to guard against the outward side and the main road of the mountain pass, but did not pay attention to the cliff top behind the village. The fire light appeared and then disappeared, so no one saw it. " Ji He When everyone said it, they thought that the iron flute probably mistook the place, otherwise they would have been drinking in the house at that time, and there were people watching everywhere outside. According to what the three said, the big fire can be seen from a distance, and there are still figures in the fire. Don't say that the watchmen, even the brothers and sisters who are eating and drinking, must be a little vigilant, which is absolutely unreasonable.He also said that Hei Diao was ordered to fly to invite Lin Yuqiu yesterday morning, and he returned with a good voice.Usually flying at high altitude will see nothing, and there will be no one behind the cliff.Tie Dizi knew that he was not mistaken, so he didn't argue at that time, but secretly paid attention to it, and even Fu Man didn't tell him.When they arrived in the village, because the banquet was over, the three of them ate outside again. After returning from a long journey, they all had something to say, talked for a while, and had another supper.Everyone said that even the area around Shiliupan outside the mountain pass had sent people, and there was no suspicious appearance.Tie Dizi thought to himself: "There is a strange person lurking in front of me on this mountain. The strange monk I saw outside the mountain is just one. No one has discovered it. How can I say such a thing!" See each other and say a few words of condolence to each other.Last night, I asked the names of the watchmen in those places, and I took the second daughter to chat and laugh with all the heroines, and went to look for it alone. After talking carefully, it turns out that the watchmen at the two places had left after dusk yesterday for some reason.Because it didn't last long, he returned to his spot and watched in a blink of an eye, but saw nothing.Tie Dizi was already suspicious when he heard the words.By coincidence, a man named Wang An was found at last. He was the son of a disaster victim rescued from outside. He was the most alert and capable than other villagers. The companions were drinking and laughing in the shadows, when they suddenly heard the sound of dogs barking, and knew that although the two largest mastiff hounds in the village were sent by the leaders of the heroes to help watch outside the mountain pass, the black eagle was ordered to deliver a message the day before yesterday, and these few dogs were left behind. Although the mongrel dogs are not as good as those two purebred mastiffs, they are more vigilant and never bark. Even if they find ferocious beasts or suspicious signs, they must see the coming situation and surround them, and only when they fight will they start howling. Bark for no reason?The sound came from under the cliff next to the village.Because the local villagers are all poor people who suffer from misery, hunger and cold, after the heroes have gone out to help the poor for many times, they have tested that the other party has a pure heart, diligence, thrift and hard work.In order to receive the grace of saving lives, the system in the village is fair, work and rest are equal, and the leading heroes continue to work without exception. People are always excited, and they gather together. No one violates the consensus. Knowing that nothing is wrong, they are ordered to take turns People are never willing to go away easily. First of all, in the two incidents, everyone was watching alone, the location is not important, and he was ordered to walk around to check. Last night, one went home to add clothes, and the other went out to pay respects. There was not much delay in going back and forth.Wang An felt that the sound of the dogs barking was different, so he entrusted his companions to watch on his behalf. He took a weapon and rushed to the side cliff to have a look. The sound of the dogs barking had stopped, and a total of three hounds were running towards the northwest cliff. When they saw Wang An, they barked repeatedly. , biting his clothes to signal, and pounced upwards again.Follow up and see that there is a steep cliff, and there is only a section of cliff slope about a few feet away from the ground. If you go up, you will reach the top, which ordinary people will never be able to walk on.There is not even a vine tree on the wall, so dogs can't go up.I found a very poisonous dead snake on the top of the cliff and looked at it. I knew that this thing was only three or four feet long, and it was extremely poisonous. How could it appear in the severe winter?First suspect that the snake is lurking in the earth cave on the top of the cliff, and the cliff suddenly collapses and will fall down.I illuminated it with a lamp, and the ground was clean, except for the three-foot-long dead poisonous snake, there was no sign of landslides, very similar to falling from above during hibernation, and falling to the ground to death, no other difference. Very puzzled.Fearing that the snake would be too venomous, he purposely threw a branch into the nearby deep ditch, and saw that the hound didn't bark any more, so that's all.At this time, all the heroes in the room were chatting, laughing and drinking happily, and the dog only barked a few times, but it didn't startle, and went back to watch. Tie Dizi and the other three returned to the village without telling them. Suddenly, it occurred to me that although the hound fell down the cliff, it was always looking up at the top of the cliff, ready to make a move.Because the cliff was too high to go up, he looked very angry, as if there was something on the top of the cliff.Seeing the moonlight slanting above, but there was no movement, he stopped the dog, and then turned back. Maybe there was some reason before he said it. Tie Dizi thought that yesterday's prediction of 19 was not bad, so he asked very carefully, and then ordered Wang An to take a closer look up and down the cliff where the snake fell.The sun is shining on it, the top of the cliff is quiet, empty and upright, and there is nothing suspicious under the cliff.If you change someone else, it must be a coincidence, and if you can't find out why, you just pull it down, but the iron flute is as careful as a hair, and you still don't feel at ease after asking, so you lead the three hounds to the local area, and send out a signal according to the usual training. Competing with hands, the two dogs in the middle raised their heads and kept barking lowly, as if they were both angry and angry. They made gestures and rushed up several times, while the other dog also looked up intently and barked twice from time to time.Tie Dizi's heart moved, and Cen Tong suddenly looked for him and said: "Everyone agrees, Junior Brother and Junior Sister Nan have worked hard, and two more distant guests came yesterday because it was the third sister-in-law's birthday. , The income from hunting and collecting medicines is several times higher than that of previous years. The brothers and sisters in the village feel that you and your wife have worked hard outside. Most of the distribution helps us to help the poor outside, and the remaining 40% is still not enough to eat. Everyone is living well, and the public reserve has been raised early. I plan to raise 20% to add to the public reserve, and the remaining 10% will be put on some lanterns , have a very happy and fat New Year, but everyone in the village insists on waiting for you and his wife to come back and refuses to enjoy it. By chance, I got the news that the bandits are coming, so I ordered someone to send a letter urging you to return quickly, and at the same time arranged the New Year's affairs. You After the three of them arrived, the hearts of the people became more and more joyful, and many friends came from the mountain. It happened to kill two birds with one stone. First, I will greet you and the guests for three days, and the whole village will have a feast. The eldest brother and Cui Nan's two younger sisters have just tried to persuade them. They did not listen to the village rules. You don’t disobey the public, so you have to listen to it. Just now when you met with the public, they were afraid that you would evade it, and they refused to say it to your face. They relied on preparations and everything was ready. When I came, the village elders came to inform us. They were there last night. It was secretly agreed that not only the Jiefeng Liquor was ready, but also all kinds of hard-to-eat foods from the mountains that were brought to the city and entrusted people on the riverboat in the previous two months were prepared overnight, and they were extremely rich. Now it is Let's start the table quickly. I heard that you are checking the situation in the village and ordered me to find it. When I got to the front, I found out that you and Wang An are here, and turned around again. Everyone is waiting for you to take your seat, you two should go back quickly." Wang An happened to be fine, and this kind of banquet was often held in the village when there was a gap between farming or hunting. After many days of hard work, they returned with a full load.Although the leading men and women of the Seven Heroes are leaders, they live and eat the same as everyone else when they are not giving orders. As usual, when encountering such grand gatherings, they enjoy drinking at the same time in a public pavilion built by the whole village.Although due to the increasing number of people in the village recently, one of the conference halls cannot accommodate them, and they are not limited to crowding in the hall, but everyone has deep affection and likes to be lively and unwilling to disperse.Especially where these leaders are, apart from making their own drinks on weekdays, they all like to sit next to the heroes, at least they are happy where they can see each other.The climate in the mountains is mild, the flowers bloom continuously, and the sky is sunny and beautiful day after day, so many banquets are set under the open air and in the nearby sparse forests.It has been two years since Tie Dizi went out this time. The villagers know that his husband and wife are bold and aggressive, greedy for merit and hate evil, and they are looking forward to talking about it every day.It has been more than two years since Tie Dizi had not lived such a good life, Yixin was on the southeast cliff again, and saw the people in Chaolai village busy to and fro with joyful faces, only knew that the better the situation in recent years, the more people there are, the more harvests, the heart Although I was relieved, I didn't think it was for myself, and I never cared.东南崖下又是全村最冷僻荒凉、石多土少之地，中间隔着大堆奇石怪峰和大片松林挡住目光，也看不出。及至随了岑同绕石穿林而出，目光到处，就这往返东南危崖下，共总个把时辰光阴，业已换了一副景象，非但远近树林上都挂满村中自制的大小纱灯，通往正北今早还未去过的大片园林路上所有人家均是张灯结彩，到处欢呼。许多村人，不论男女老少，都穿着自制的新衣，三五为群，满面喜容，一路说笑往前走去，仿佛全村均在喜气笼罩之下，快活到了极点，自己一过更是远近欢呼，亲热非常。 村中地方广大，出产众多，除当中大片盆地外，另外还有几条大小山谷，更有就着瀑布山泉开出来的几条溪河，纵横交织。好在那几条山谷都是崖高谷深，与外不通，尽头处不是峭壁参天，便是瀑布水源，谷中却又地势平衍，泉甘土肥，花草更多，风景清丽。众人议事行乐的这一片园林偏在东北角上，全村只这方圆数十亩的一角风景最佳，花树最多，水木明瑟，自然佳妙。起初本是一片荒芜，三四年前为首诸侠见村中越来越富足，山势险阻，出入不易，村民又一年比一年人多安乐，由大侠智生提议，在众人欢应之下，乘着当年农隙陆续兴修，人心喜奋，不久成功。先盖了一座议事厅和养蚕织布的几所楼房，另外只有两座临水亭台。后来村人见当地石多土少，不宜耕种，重又集众公议，添盖出大片亭台楼馆，并将通往山外的一座崖洞开辟出来，建作暖房和存粮之所，使与这片园林相通。无论避暑避寒，各种公众行乐宴会俱都设备齐全，应有尽有。事隔三四年，内里陈设用具越发完备，并还设有冬夏两馆，专为全村男女老少闲来自往读书识字之用。在此隆冬无事之时，便是平日也到处都有许多人在往来游玩，或在纺织，和制造农具的作场中随意做工，本是人们常去之所。自从同乐园建成之后，谁也极少守在家中。 当日因铁笛子等三人山外新回，文婴从此住在村中，又不离去，迎新接旧并在一起，越发显得热闹。铁笛子一路和村众招呼说笑，还未走到，遥望前途疏林外面议事厅前广场之上业已布满了酒席座位，都是一色大红桌披椅垫。阳光又好，看去越发鲜明，内有十几个受恩深重、盼归最切的老少男女，因方才是在诸侠所居楼前匆匆一见，未得和铁、南二人面谈，遥望穿林走来，同声欢呼，越众向前，互相慰问了一阵，方同往厅内走进。为首诸侠和近两月来的佳宾良友已早到达，各地树林内外空地上都生起了地火，锅勺乱响，水沸之声与泉响松涛相应，再杂人们笑语之声，越发显得欢天喜地，热闹非常。
