Chapter 5 (1)
Chapter 5(1)()
The foot of Taihang Mountain, Lan Yuguan.
Li Yuanfang and Shen Huai whipped the horses all the way, and finally rushed to the front of the two cliffs outside Lan Yu Temple when the sunset took away the last ray of afterglow and a full moon rose into the sky. From a distance, the top of the two black cliffs were covered with pale moonlight, revealing indescribable weirdness and desolation. Before they got close, they smelled a strong smell of blood coming to their faces. Li Yuanfang shouted: "No!" He rushed to the crack between the cliffs first, and the blood was even stronger, which was suffocating. The cracks were too narrow, so they had to dismount and tied the horse to the small house outside the cracks. Li Yuanfang held the orchid sword tightly and winked at Chen Huai. The two of them turned around the cracks carefully. What was presented to them was a terrible killing scene!
About dozens of corpses lay in the open space in front of Laojun Hall. Each of them was cut into pieces, and the brain plasma and blood splattered everywhere. The murderer was obviously not satisfied with killing people, but seemed to vent his anger on these people. Scarlet blood was flowing all over the ground, with a bunch of footprints on it, which could not be distinguished at all. More blood flowed into the hot spring pool water along the gaps on the mud, mixing with the hot spring water, making the evaporated mist full of blood. Li Yuanfang and Shen Huai felt that The night sky in front of him turned red and bloody. Li Yuanfang gritted his teeth and moved forward step by step. Chen Huai followed him tightly. They walked through the open space like a slaughterhouse and inspected the alchemy rooms one by one. The doors of each alchemy room were wide open. In front of the door, in the room, and beside the bed, there were dead bodies lying or lying everywhere, and the dead were the same as those on the open space. After a circle, Li Yuanfang and Shen Huai returned to the Laojun Hall. Chen Huai looked at Li Yuanfang and asked breathlessly: "General Li! What should I do?!"
Li Yuanfang flashed a colder gaze than Bing, saying word by word: "When I spent the night with me and I here overnight, there was still no one here, but today it turned out to be this scene. Who did this?! Why?!"
Chen Huai looked at him blankly and anxiously, not knowing how to answer.
Li Yuanfang frowned and thought for a moment, then looked up and said to Chen Huai, "General Chen, it's not appropriate to go back to Bingzhou City immediately, go to report the situation here to Lord Changshi, and ask him to send troops immediately. I will stay here, guard the scene, and wait for reinforcements."
Chen Huai hesitated: "This... General Li, would it be too dangerous for you to stay here alone?"
Li Yuanfang sneered: "General Chen, do you have any other way?"
Chen Huai stopped talking, and he walked silently out of the gap. Li Yuanfang followed and sent him all the way out of the gap. Seeing him getting on the horse, he said, "Be careful all the way."
Chen Huai whipped a whip and the war horse neighed, and rushed straight towards the official road.
Li Yuanfang slowly turned around and walked back to the center of the blood-red field step by step. The moonlight shone on him, and the hem of Yuebai's robe was stained with the blood under his feet. He stood motionless, waiting quietly.
A large cloud floated by, covering the desolate light of the moon. In the deadly silence, Li Yuanfang's voice sounded coldly: "You don't feel tired if you stayed in the pile of dead people for so long!"
The pile of corpses around him began to tremble slightly. Suddenly, with a whistle, several blood-covered corpses jumped up from the ground, and in an instant they formed a formation and surrounded him in the center.
Above his head, like a big roc spreading its wings, along the straight rock surface of the cliff, a black shadow slowly fell down and stood silently in front of Li Yuanfang. The man covered his black scarf, only a pair of eagle eyes exposed, emitting sharp light.
"Li Yuanfang is indeed well-known and is a hero. Unfortunately, she is brave but has no sense of knowing how to show off her powerlessness. If you don't let the person you walk along tonight, you can be so lonely without having to die."
"Oh, how did you know I will die today?"
The black shadow laughed wildly: "If you don't die, will I die?"
Li Yuanfang raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I seem to have heard your voice somewhere."
The black shadow was stunned, and then laughed wildly: "Yes, you are very delicate. Unfortunately, it's too late, and you won't have the chance to verify your judgment."
Li Yuanfang sneered: "Then you guys come and try it."
The black shadow waved his hand, and the killers disguised as dead bodies waved the sharp blades flashing with cold light and rushed forward. Li Yuanfang waved the orchid sword in his hand calmly. The snow-white sword light drew a captivating arc. Wherever the sword tip reached, the two killers could not avoid it. Deep blood marks appeared on their necks, and blood gushed out of the wounds. The remaining killers were in shock and took a few steps back, forming a formation again, and attacking Li Yuanfang together. Li Yuanfang was wrong in shape, jumping up into the air, and had already jumped out of the encirclement. Then he waved his backhand, and the arms of the two killers were slashed to the ground in one go. The two killers screamed in pain, but did not retreat, and rushed towards him desperately. Li Yuanfang was surrounded by them and fought fiercely.
After a few moves, another killer was cut off. But what is frightening is that although these killers were seriously injured, they did not reduce their fighting spirit at all. Instead, they attacked more and more violently, and were completely fighting for life. Although Li Yuanfang could handle it, he couldn't help but feel palpitations when he saw such a fierce attack. He then fought quickly, and with one sword and one life, he simply succeeded in the lives of these desperadoes. The black-clothed leader had been watching the battle, and had an intriguing look appeared in his eyes. At this moment, he saw that Li Yuanfang had finished the battle and was pushing towards him step by step, and then he sneered: "It's true that good kung fu is very good." As soon as he finished speaking, he rose up and flew straight to the top of the cliff.
How could Li Yuanfang let him go? Youlan sword pointed and followed him straight up to the cliff. The two of them were one by one, as if two big birds were flying on the steep rock surface. Li Yuanfang's speed was even better and he was about to catch up. The man in black suddenly flashed to the side, shooting countless arrows from the top of the cliff, facing Li Yuanfang's head. Li Yuanfang waved the orchid sword to split the arrow rain. The man in black took this opportunity to slide along the cliff towards the crack, and was about to disappear. Li Yuanfang gritted his teeth, reached out his left hand to grab a flying arrow, and held it towards the man in black. The man in black suddenly
Without defense, the sharp arrows were firmly nailed into his left shoulder. He couldn't bear to suffer any pain and rolled down the cliff. Li Yuanfang also quickly followed him down, and the man in black jumped out of the crack in the cliff. Li Yuanfang was about to follow him, but suddenly staggered. He held the rock beside him and took a deep breath. He looked up and saw that there was no one at the top of the cliff, and the man in black disappeared without a trace outside the crack in the cliff. He gritted his teeth and flashed out the crack in the rock. He was about to determine the direction and continue chasing, but he saw a large group of people holding light balls and torches on the official road ahead, rushing towards this side at lightning. The leader was Shen Huai.
Chen Huai saw Li Yuanfang from afar and shouted loudly, "General Li!" He rushed to him and turned over and fell off the horse. Li Yuanfang looked at him in surprise and asked, "General Chen, will he move to the rescue team so soon?" Chen Huai gasped and said, "Yes, it's Lord Di! He was worried about us. As soon as I left, he sent a letter to the Grand Governor's Office and asked Chief Chen to send people to come. As soon as I got to Guandao, I saw Deputy General Sun and his troops, so I rushed back so quickly."
Li Yuanfang said softly: "Sir." Deputy General Sun also came to him at this moment, clasped his fists and said, "General Li!" Li Yuanfang nodded and said, "Deputy General Sun, please send your men to surround the place immediately, and send a team of people to search the surrounding cliffs. Be careful!" He said to Chen Huai, "Follow me and let them count the dead bodies, and we will check the scene again." Soon, the number of dead bodies at the scene was counted out. Except for the six killers who had just been killed by Li Yuanfang, the remaining dead were all wearing Taoist uniforms, with more than 60 people, all dead, and their limbs were incomplete, which was unbearable to see. Because the night was too dark, the searchers found no traces.
Li Yuanfang said to Chen Huai: "In this way, please ask Deputy General Sun to guard the scene here first. You and I will immediately rush back to Bingzhou and report to Lord Di and Changshi Chen separately what happened here." "Okay!"
The two ran out of the cliff to find their respective horses. Chen Huai just jumped on the horse, but when he looked back, he found that Li Yuanfang was standing by the horse without moving, with pale face and clenched tightly. Chen Huai was startled and quickly came to him and asked, "General Li, what's wrong with you? Are you injured?" Li Yuanfang raised his head and smiled reluctantly, and said, "I'm fine. I'm just some old injuries. I don't know why, they are always not complete, and they are always very long-lasting." Chen Huai said, "Then...why are you staying here? I'll go to Lord Di to report first, and then go to Lord Changshi." Li Yuanfang shook his head and said, "No need. I can leave." After that, he took a deep breath and turned over the horse. Then the two of them ran to Guandao and drove towards Bingzhou City.
In front of the Bingzhou city gate, Chen Huai showed his identity, and the soldiers guarding the city opened the city gate and put the two in. Along the quiet streets, Chen Huai said to Li Yuanfang: "General Li, from here, it is Lord Di's mansion. I can go east from here to the Governor's Mansion." Li Yuanfang nodded, and he smiled at Chen Huai and said: "General Chen, I am very close to you and don't want to use red tape anymore. It's better to exchange the age teeth now and call him better in the future." Chen Huai was shocked and hurriedly said: " The last general dared not." Li Yuanfang shook his head and said, "I'm wasting thirty-two years. I don't know Brother Chen Gui Geng?" Chen Huai said happily, "We are the same year." Li Yuanfang smiled and said, "Since that's the case, Yuanfang will think of himself as brother. Brother Chen, what do you think?" Chen Huai clasped his fists and said, "General Li, oh, Brother Yuanfang, Chen Huai is so happy." Li Yuanfang nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, let's report separately now. Brother Yu left first!" He urged the horse under his crotch to run to the alley of Di Mansion.
