At this moment, the children of the Youzhou family, including Hua Linyi, did not notice what happened in the watchtower behind.
But everyone felt something was wrong in an instant.
The fire in the entire village was extinguished in one breath!
Not only the firelights in the wooden building, but also the storm lights hanging on the outside walls, and the bonfires in the open space in the village, all disappeared.
Darkness swept across the entire black village in an instant!
"Zhou Lu'er, hide behind me!"
Rong Xiu's eyes could not adapt to it, and she felt that it was pitch black in front of her, but even in this situation, she turned around and shouted at Zhou Lu'er.
"Okay!" Zhou Lu'er agreed crisply.
"Where is Gu Ningxi!" Hua Linyi felt that Gu Liubai did not follow him. She turned around and couldn't see anyone in the dark.
"Don't worry about him, he's fine." Zhou Lu'er replied.
Hua Linyi felt strange in her heart because Zhou Lu'er seemed to be smiling at this time.
"careful!"
At this moment, several loud shouts sounded along with the shrill sound of breaking through the air.
In the darkness, arrows fell through the sky everywhere!
Rong Xiu, who was holding a long sword in his hand, had a numb scalp. Before he could react, he was pulled down by a force.
I heard the sound of my ears. When I realized that she was dragging me, she found that it was Zhou Lu'er, and in front of her and Zhou Lu'er, there seemed to be a wooden duck shed with a wooden board, with the rattle of ducks inside. The agitated sound should have been caused by an arrow falling on the wooden board of the duck shed.
"It's so dark, can he see where the arrows are shooting?"
There was already a layer of cold sweat on Rong Xiu's forehead. She felt that it was not a coincidence. At this moment, there was a sound behind her. She turned her head and found that Hua Linyi had also squatted over.
"I ambushed in the middle." Hua Linyi was quite calm and said something nonsense in a concise way.
"Quit out of the village first?" The sound of arrows breaking through the air and crying for pain were endless. Rong Xiu thought of retreating at the first time.
"No." Zhou Lu'er said, "The retreat has been cut off."
Rong Xiu was about to say how did you know when he heard a thunderous roar.
Two powerful forces collided at the village gate, and a figure dragged silver flames and flew over the village gate, and the footsteps after landing were heard.
When the man stopped, Rong Xiu and Hua Linyi took a breath of cold air.
That man was the black-clothed servant who had shot the fireball with one shot.
At this time, the spear in his hand was hanging on the ground, and the silver flames surrounding his body fluctuated chaoticly, as if he had suffered a great loss in the fight just now, and the true energy in his body could not flow smoothly.
The ability of true qi to flow on the surface of the body and form such a strange appearance means that this person has entered the sixth level of practice.
The sixth-level practitioner has actually been beaten back from the village gate?
"Run into the village and find a place to hide! Otherwise, even the arrows will kill us!" Zhou Lu'er suddenly screamed.
The loud sound directly made Rong Xiu and Hua Linyi's eardrums buzzing.
"?"
Before Rong Xiu and Hua Linyi could react, they felt that many people had already done what Zhou Lu'er said.
"Don't be killed by his screams..."
Hua Linyi just glared at Zhou Lu'er, but found that Zhou Lu'er had already pulled Rong Xiu to the house on the side.
"you!"
Hua Linyi was angry and followed, but found that Zhou Lu'er was so dark that she could go wherever she was. After a while, her eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, but she found that Zhou Lu'er was really more flexible than the monkeys in the mountains. She had already opened a window of a room and let Rong Xiu jump in. Then, while she got in, she waved her hand to signal Hua Linyi to go over quickly.
Hua Linyi's forehead is full of energy. Rong Xiu is quite independent on weekdays. Why is it now led by this thin monkey like a pig?
Because she knew how important Zou Jianan was to Mrs. Zou, she could only grit her teeth and get into the room through the window.
After entering, she saw a big bed at a glance!
There are no tables in front of the bed, but there are a few indescribable chairs!
She subconsciously slashed her sword in her chest, wondering what the thin monkey wanted to do, but then she saw Zhou Lu'er and Rong Xiu's heads next to each other in a gap in the wooden board to look out.
"They are driving the sheep."
Zhou Lu'er said softly.
"What to drive the sheep?" Hua Linyi, whose face was a little stiff, also squatted over.
"The people who are ambushing in this village are driving everyone to the same place." Zhou Lu'er turned her head and looked at Hua Linyi, knowing that she might not understand, so she explained in a low voice: "It's like driving the sheep into the sheep pen. Cousin, they didn't want to kill you."
Hua Linyi looked out through the gaps in the wooden boards, feeling that there was a mess outside, with arrows, shouts of killing and screams everywhere. She didn't know where Zhou Lu'er could tell that she was driving sheep.
"We'll hide here. They will come to find the sheep after driving them. It will take a while." Zhou Lu'er had already arranged it again.
"Then we will keep hiding here, and when will they come to find us?" Rong Xiu asked what Hua Linyi wanted to ask.
Zhou Lu'er nodded, "Well, this is the best, it's safer."
Hua Linyi almost laughed angry, "Do you think it's hide and seek?"
Zhou Lu'er rubbed her nose and said softly: "Cousin, we won't let Brother Fifteen be restrained like this."
What does it mean that when we go out, we will become a burden to Gu Ningxi?
My dignified fifth-grade monk!
Hua Linyi thought all this was ridiculous.
Rong Xiu was curious, "Linyi, why did she keep calling you cousin?"
"Are you a pig? You still care about this at this time." Hua Linyi's chest was fluctuating violently. She felt that she had been cheated to death by these two people this time.
Yan Changshou's hair was shot away by an arrow, and a piece of skin might have fallen off his head, which was so painful.
His left arm was also a little unable to lift it up, but he bumped into a pillar while avoiding a sneak attack from someone.
Maybe blood flowed into his eyes, and his vision became blurry.
Suddenly, a cold light flashed in front of him. He waved his sword in horror. With a sound of fire, sparks flew everywhere. The man exclaimed, "Longevity?"
Yan Changshou also saw the man's face clearly, "Qin Lan!"
Qin Lan, wearing a blue brocade dress and holding a dark long sword, is also a friend of Hua Linyi who grew up with her since childhood.
Although he was not injured at this time, he was covered in dust and in a mess.
"What are you two discussing here?" At this moment, accompanied by a crazy laugh, a wooden wall on the left side of their bodies exploded, and a black shadow roared.
Qin Lan was the first to take the brunt and subconsciously turned around to block the sword. The long sword in his hand was instantly shaken out. He rolled on the spot, his back hitting the wooden wall on one side, and the wooden board behind him exploded. His mouth was full of blood, and his whole right arm was numb for a moment and could not be lifted at all.
Yan Changshou took a step back, but the black shadow suddenly changed direction and slapped at his head.
"when!"
He could not avoid it. The moment the sword hit him, a severe pain came from the tiger's mouth, and the sword also fell to the ground with his hand.
"Kneel down for grandpa and spare you all the time!" The person who came did not pursue him immediately, just laughed wildly.
At this time, Yan Changshou and Qin Lan vaguely saw that the person who broke through the wall was an extremely strong bald man. He was wearing a yellow cassock. The black shadow that they could not match was a Zen stick in his hand.
The yellow cassock...
"Headless Bodhisattva Temple!"
Qin Lan reacted immediately and screamed in horror.
"How could the people from the Headless Bodhisattva Temple be here?" Yan Changshou's mind went blank. It was not until Qin Lan pulled his clothes that he realized that he was about to run away.
The Headless Bodhisattva Temple was a bandit that suddenly rose last spring.
There were not many of these bandits, only fifty or sixty people, and they occupied an ancient temple on a cliff as their residence.
There is a stone Buddha in that ancient temple. The head of the stone Buddha has long disappeared, so it is called the headless Bodhisattva Temple by the nearby mountain people.
These bandits are quite friendly to the nearby mountain people and even give some money and food, but they are extremely cruel to the wealthy businessmen and officials in the town, and they do not leave any living robbery.
In half a year, the government carried out three encirclements and suppression of the Headless Bodhisattva Temple, but they all came back from a great defeat. The conclusion was that although these bandits were small, most of them were practitioners, and there were even less than three sixth-grade practitioners!
How did this group of bandits gather together and how could there be so many practitioners? I am still a mystery until now.
Yan Changshou may not be clear, but Hua Cangming knew that in a few months, on the rotation, the Youzhou military would second a group of practitioners from Luoyang, and then a new encirclement and suppression of the Headless Bodhisattva Temple.
There were continuous clicks.
Yan Changshou and Qin Lan broke through the wooden wall and rolled out.
Even the Youzhou military had to seconded practitioners from Luoyang to be sure to break the Headless Bodhisattva Temple in one fell swoop. How could they deal with it?
The passion that I had just rushed into the village had already disappeared.
Hua Linyi tried to rush out several times but still held back.
There is no doubt that among this group of children from aristocratic families, her cultivation is the highest.
None of the other people had reached the fifth level of cultivation.
But as all the voices gathered towards the center of the village, she began to realize that Zhou Lu'er might be right.
It seemed that everyone was being driven towards the center of the village.
If there are no powerful practitioners among the bandits, they will never be able to do this.
A dignified fifth-grade monk seems to be unable to make a comeback.
"Why don't we go down the bed?" Zhou Lu'er said softly at this time.
Hua Linyi naturally resisted, and Rong Xiu asked softly: "Why?"
Zhou Lu'er said with a smile, "It's almost done to drive the sheep. They should ignite the fire next time and start counting the flock."
Before Hua Linyi and Rong Xiu could speak out, fire began to light up in the village.
An extremely strange feeling instantly filled Hua Linyi and Rong Xiu's whole body.
Chapter completed!
