Chapter 43: Water recovery

Views:

The mountain road is rough and not easy to walk. Most of the mountain people hunt, chop firewood, and go to Sanqing Temple to burn incense. There are almost no stone steps.

The Taoist of Sanqing Temple led the way, and Wu You and Fang Zheng had a very happy conversation, especially when he heard the latter say that he was not resentful of the officials of Huxian County who were corrupt and perverted the law, and angrily took the wives and sons of the Fang officials with them, defiantly When it was difficult to go to Chang'an to sue the imperial court, his expression was very excited, showing longing.

The chivalrous act of hoeing the strong and helping the weak is always correct, attractive, and respectable in the eyes of simple girls.

At this time in the previous life, Li Ye had already lived in the market, and lived a miserable life with Shangguan Qingcheng. Now he knows that the world is about to go into chaos, but limited by his previous life experience, he doesn't know the six words "the world is about to go into chaos", or It is the four words "a catastrophe will be born", which means what kind of worldly situation and world situation.

In the current Tang Dynasty, the clouds are treacherous, Li Ye wants to change the fate of the previous life, go to the world in this life, and compete with the heroes and princes of the world, he will gradually realize and experience what it means ", "Dark clouds overwhelm the city and try to destroy it".

In the inaccessible and unexplored forest path, there is really no view. After walking in such a place for a long time, Li Ye gradually felt a little uncomfortable, especially when everyone was in a very bad situation. It was probably intuition, or the perception of danger cultivated in the cultivation career before time travel. Li Ye always felt that Niu Shou Mountain was full of mystery and unpredictability.

Then he found that the pale golden dragon energy floating on the dantian was slowly cruising, it seemed to be threatened by something, and it seemed to be attracted by something, it seemed a little restless and ready to move.

Li Ye couldn't help raising his head, and looked in the direction of the main peak of Niu Shou Mountain.

Dragon energy is undoubtedly his biggest reliance now. After absorbing the seal of King An, which represents the luck of the Prince of Tang, it has become a lot more solid, but it has also been silent for a long time. If he is active today, could it be that in the Niu Shou Mountain? , what chance

Around noon, the crowd came to a small lake in the mountain stream. The small lake was only twenty or thirty steps away. The lake was green but bottomless. They decided to rest here for a while.

When Li Ye was fetching water by the lake, Shangguan Qingcheng stood behind him with his saber in his hand, looking around vigilantly, even though she was destined to see nothing, she would not let her guard down because of this.

Li Ye turned around and said with a smile: "The valley here is deep and quiet, and there is no one else here, so you should also rest."

Shangguan Qingcheng shook his head seriously: "It is the duty of the last general to protect His Highness comprehensively. The last general... is not well-cultivated, so he can't help His Highness much before the battle. In normal times, he should pay more attention to the surrounding movements."

Back at Niu Shou Mountain, Shangguan Qingcheng didn't lead soldiers, nor did he wear armor, but was dressed in a Hu suit. At this moment, she was standing with her sword on her shoulders, her body was still standing upright, her body curves were quite exposed, and her heroic posture had never been diminished. It adds a touch of excitement.

In Li Ye's mind, some memories of his previous life could not help but emerge. When Li Ye was in Daliang City, when he was the puppet emperor, the eunuchs, court ladies, and imperial guards all belonged to Zhu Quanzhong, the powerful minister. At that time, Shangguan Qingcheng stood outside the door with his sword pressed day and night, never slacking off for a moment.

After Li Ye fetched water, he stood up from the lake. At this moment, he was only seven steps away from him. At that time, the calm lake surface suddenly had a large shadow rising rapidly, like a big bird flying in mid-air. It casts a reflection, and it looks like a big fish in the lake is about to surface.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

With a bang, Shangguan Qingcheng had drawn his saber out of its sheath, held the hilt of the saber with both hands, raised it high above his head, and slashed towards the shadow on the lake.

When the four-foot saber qi flew out, everyone by the lake looked in astonishment, with puzzled expressions on their faces, as if to say, what danger could be in this place near the Taoist temple of Niu Shou Mountain? Is Shangguan Qingcheng too much? sensitive

However, before the saber energy touched the water, a water spring that was higher than the head of the lake, which was still calm a moment ago, suddenly rushed up, and the snow-white water splashed in all directions.

There was a figure supported by the water spring and the water flower, but it was a burly man holding a huge axe. When he appeared on the surface of the water, he let out a loud roar, and the giant ax slashed down towards Li Ye!

Thanks to Shangguan Qingcheng's timely warning, Li Ye was able to deal with it calmly. He floated a few steps backwards to avoid the attack of the burly man.

At the same time, seven or eight figures sprang up on the surface of the lake, and amidst the sound of splashing water, they rushed towards the clan's children by the lake.

The clan's children were shocked at first, and then furious. Fortunately, they had seen Shangguan Qingcheng make a move. They were not completely defenseless at this time, but they did not let the other party succeed in a surprise attack. Relying on their strength, Wu You and Li Jing'an had already revealed their magical weapons to meet them , Li Ji and the others quickly swept back and opened the distance.

"For the sake of the Duke, kill these people!" The attackers did not forget to "prove" their identities when they attacked.

Li Ye took a few steps backwards, dropped the water bag in his hand, and held Lu Jujian in his hand. Shangguan rushed forward, slashed several times, and the light of the sword enveloped the burly man holding the giant axe, "Bold thief, stop!" Get crazy!"

Li Ye's brows and eyes frowned suddenly, and he turned slightly, Lu Gujian raised his sword behind him, and there was a crisp sound, as the two swords intersected. A long sword stabbed from the dense forest behind Li Ye was thrown away by Lu Gu's sword.

Li Ye's mouth went numb, his wrist trembled, Lu Jujian trembled in his palm, and he almost let go, his face straightened, he knew in his heart that the other party's cultivation base was a step higher than his, and he immediately lowered his eyes and frowned , while moving sideways, he looked towards the person coming.

The assailant was a middle-aged man with a square face and regular features. He didn't look like a villain at first glance, but he looked like a gentleman. This was the middle-aged Taoist priest who had spoken to Xu Qingfeng, and he was also the leader of the assassination. In fact, it was Xu Qingfeng's eldest disciple, Xu Fengzhu.

Xu Fengzhu was very surprised that the sneak attack could not be done with one sword. He planned it very clearly before. The people in the lake made a sneak attack, forcing the people by the lake to retreat. Unexpectedly, Shangguan Qingcheng detected and warned him in time, and Li Ye's reaction was so fast that he missed.

When Li Ye moved sideways to the left, Xu Fengzhu had already followed him. He missed a blow, but his movement didn't stop for a moment. His right foot swept across and went straight to Li Ye's left waist.

Li Ye bent his knees and raised his leg to block Xu Fengzhu's sweep. With a bang, the force from his left leg was so great that he almost couldn't stand still.

Quickly stepping on the ground with his right foot, Li Ye slashed straight with Xu Qingfeng's throat.

Xu Qingfeng's eyes froze. He probably didn't expect that Li Ye could counterattack at the same time when he was defending. This ability to fight back and forth is far beyond ordinary people.

He leaned back to avoid Lu Gujian who was coming from a horizontal cut, and at the same time, he swung his long sword obliquely, attacking Li Ye's left rib.

Unexpectedly, Li Ye slashed horizontally with his sword, but it was just a feint, and his body had already jumped away, taking a step away.

Li Ye didn't dodge blindly, taking advantage of Xu Fengzhu leaning back and not adjusting his figure, he retracted his long sword and slashed several times, and the sword energy flew vertically, and he was in front of Xu Fengzhu in the blink of an eye!

A look of astonishment flashed across Xu Fengzhu's eyes. He didn't expect Li Ye's combat skills to be so good. He could use both elimination and attack, both offensive and defensive skills, and the transition between reality and reality. Not chaotic, responding calmly, with sophisticated moves, like a great monk who has experienced countless fierce battles.

This surprised Xu Fengzhu. Li Ye's ability to see through Li Guanshu's plots is due to his superior intelligence. There is nothing to say about this kind of talent, but combat skills have to be honed from countless battles, and the most important thing is to pay attention to experience and mastery.

According to Xu Fengzhu's prediction, the pampered Wang An, even though he practiced very powerful skills, but as long as he was fighting in close quarters, if he was not given a chance to use high-level skills, the opponent would be nothing more than fish.

The reality gave Xu Fengzhu a slap in the face, but it didn't make him flustered. With a flash of his figure, he avoided several sword qi from Li Ye.

The sword energy hit the forest tree, cut off the branches, chopped the leaves, and blasted on the trunk, plowing out several sword marks, shaking the forest trembling endlessly.

When Xu Fengzhu dodged the sword aura, he didn't simply retreat, but moved forward after moving sideways. He swung his long sword again and again, and shot out several sword auras, covering Li Ye. This act of protecting himself also restricted Li Ye. Follow the sword, approach Li Ye with the sword energy.

"His Royal Highness King An, you must die!" Xu Fengzhu had no hatred or resentment in his eyes, but only killing intent, a cold killing intent. He had no grudge against Li Ye, but simply wanted to kill Li Ye.

Xu Fengzhu's low shout was not aimless. Hearing his voice, two of the surrounding attackers rushed over and besieged Li Ye together with Xu Fengzhu.

There is only one person here who can be called His Highness.

King An, this is why Xu Fengzhu besieged and killed Li Ye himself.

Because the prince's status is noble enough, and the sensation caused by his death is big enough, it is most in line with Xu Qingfeng's intention.

The children of the clan are now facing the dilemma of being attacked from two sides, and this place is located by the lake, and there is only one forest path. Although it is much wider than the rugged mountain path, the other side is dense forest, and the widest part is only three or five steps away.

Being besieged in such a place, even Wu You and Li Jingan's followers, who possessed the fifth level of qi training, could not perform as well as they did on flat ground. The two sides' hands were intertwined, and they no longer had the ability to kill in groups.

In this short period of time, the two parties were so entangled that they were both dragged.

"ah!"

Suddenly, Li Ye heard Li Ji's scream, followed by the sound of falling into the water. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a large pool of blood spreading on the lake, but no one was struggling. His heart sank. He was wounded, lost his talisman, and even though he still had a life-saving magic weapon, he was still no match for the onslaught of the attackers, and now he finally confessed.

And Li Ye himself was already in danger.

There was a sword thrust from the left, and he dodged it vertically, and there was another sword sweep from the right, he raised his sword to block it, at the same time, Xu Fengzhu slashed out a sword aura, and went straight to Li Ye's face.
