Chapter 42 Chapter 42 Danger

Not long after noon, on the trail five miles southeast of the city to old Cangzhou. The dispossession of Cangzhou has changed several times, and the migration is impermanent.In this dynasty, Chuzhou ruled Qingchi, and Jianguo Tuzhou ruled Changlu, which is now the city. The old city of Cangzhou is about fifty miles away from the present city, commonly known as Woniu City or Lion City. This road leads to Jianshan County, and there are few travelers and there are not many villages along the way.Five well-dressed men and women walk around in a meandering way. They are Yang Jiping, the second young master, Shihao the eldest son, Xiaoci the niece, Xu Haiguang the nephew, and Xu Haihua the nephew.

Yang Jiping was full of anger because his second son was taken hostage by the Thousand Hands God.The four juniors led by him are all young people who do not know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, and they are all like volcanoes that are about to erupt. They are in charge of searching the southeast for Jiuyinpo's hiding place, and they can't wait to turn all the land in this area upside down. Shihao hurriedly followed behind Naifu, while muttering angrily: The Three Heroes of Guangping are so unreasonable, why should they argue with Grandpa? These days, who doesn't know that our Tiaoshanzhuang has never expressed interest to anyone?

Just relying on the words of a few masked Taishan thieves, blatantly pointing out that our Tiaoshanzhuang is a messenger, visiting the house without proof and making trouble, seeing grandpa humbly explaining to people that he is wrong, it will really make people angry. Xu Haiguang is twenty years old, which is the age of reckless impulsiveness and danger.Last time, Yu Naimei attacked Qianshoushenjun in a sneak attack, and gave Qianshoushenjun two hard blows with a fish-scale knife. One hit succeeded, and it almost drove the masters of hidden weapons who are rampant in the rivers and lakes almost mad.

The fish-scale knife used by the brothers and sisters is not actually a knife, but a steel sheet with the size of a thumb. It is shaped like a fish scale. It is also much sharper than chess pieces. The little guy is a dangerous person who is not afraid of anything, and he said loudly: I think my grandfather was a knight-errant in the world, and he rushed into Wudang Sanyuan Palace with a sword to seek justice, what a hero?How majestic?Who in the martial arts does not respect? Well, once the sword is sealed and retired, the tortoise bastard will dare to come to bully others.Second uncle, why don't we, Yang and Xu, go to the Central Plains with our swords and make trouble for him.

Girls are less heroic and more careful.Fifteen-year-old girl Haihua rolled her eyes at Brother Nai and said: Brother, you can talk nonsense.Let me ask you, do you care about fourth cousin's life? I, I, I, I, Ai Ai said. Yang Jiping said in annoyance: "Okay, okay, don't talk about it."I swear, if there is something wrong with Jie'er, if I don't go into the rivers and lakes with a sword and kill, God will punish me.Let's turn left and enter Baibaigang, be careful. On the left side of the road appeared a series of undulating mounds with luxuriant grass and miscellaneous forests. The nearest village was four or five miles away.

It was probably a town in the past, and it has been deserted for hundreds of years. It is said that it is the ruins of the ancient alliance pavilion, the junction of the ancient Yan and Qi countries, where the two countries once made an alliance, but whether it is true or not remains to be verified.At present, there are indeed ruins here, and the local people call it Bailaogang, which means that everything is over once. There was a big flood a hundred years ago, and hundreds of corpses were stranded nearby. The locals buried these corpses on the spot, so it was called Bailaogang. When it was dark, no one dared to stay nearby, ghosts beat people to death, and ghosts made trouble .

The five people were divided into two groups, with the first two and the last three, with Yang Jiping and Xiao Ci leading the way, carefully guarding their way into the overgrown ruins.After entering the interior, there is nothing to be seen, the foxes are running around, and there is no trace of someone trampling on it.Just around the right side of a flat hill, in the depths of the woods in front, there was a piercing strange laugh. Yang Jiping's heart tightened, he quickly stopped, and said in a low voice: Sure enough, there are people hiding here, be careful, I will deal with them. A red shadow flashed, and from the shadow of a tree six or seven feet away, a middle-aged monk in cassock walked out, holding a Zen staff between his feet, and came towards him lightly under his feet.

Yang Jiping was startled, clasped his fists and said: Oh!Isn't Master Hongguang the abbot of the Lower House of Pusi Temple in Dongguang County?It's a pleasure to meet you, I didn't expect the master to be a martial artist! There was a burst of wild laughter not far from the left, and a tall and strong middle-aged man with flying hair, black face and beard flashed out, holding a sheathed Hades Token in his left hand.The big man said: Er Shao Zhuangzhu, you still don't know that Abbot Hongguang is Dong Yuanhong, the star-picking king who ruled the world in his early years and was so powerful in all corners of the world?

Abbot Hongguang recited Amitabha, and said with a smile: Donor Yang is not from the Jianghu, so of course he doesn't know the real face of the poor monk, and of course he doesn't know the name of the benefactor, King of the Underworld, Guo Guang. Yan Wang Guo Guang smiled proudly and patted his magnificent chest.Said: Now he knows, knows, haha!You came well, five men and women, plus the son and one boy made up a triple pair, and there are three hostages in our hands, even if the old man Yang Yunbo doesn't take the blame for us?Ha ha Abbot Hongguang smiled kindly, and said, "Benefactor Yang, as long as you promise to drive away the people from the rivers and lakes within a hundred miles of Cangzhou within three days, the poor monk will not stay."

Yang Jiping looked up to the sky and took a deep breath, and resolutely refused: Sorry, it can't be done, Tiaoshanzhuang doesn't have the ability, and it's useless to promise what can't be done. With your father's martial arts reputation, it can be said to be as easy as flipping the palm of your hand. On the contrary, Tiao Shanzhuang is not what it used to be. After my father sealed the sword, friends in the world have forgotten my father.This morning, the Three Masters of Guangping and a group of white heroes almost demolished my father's Tiao Villa. As long as your father steps up to call out and spread the word, the situation will change completely, someone must come forward to support and preside over the morality of the world.

Is it you who came forward? Why not?Abbot Hongguang asked with a smile. It's a pity that my father is not such a person. Is it for your son Yang Jiping's face darkened, and he said in a word: My father will not destroy the reputation he has earned all his life for the sake of a grandson. Justice is in the hearts of the people. You use such despicable and shameless means to despise the rules of the martial arts and openly challenge the morality of the world. It will definitely arouse public anger in the martial arts, and someone will seek justice from you. Of course, Tiao Shan Zhuang will spare no effort to demand thousands of times the price from you.Put the puppy back, Tiaoshanzhuang doesn't care about you, otherwise, Yang has no choice but to give up. Yan Wang Guo Guang laughed wildly and said: Your Excellency, why do you want to fight? Yang Jiping said in a deep voice: "With the affection of father and son, I will spare no expense." The little guy Shihao couldn't bear it anymore, he shouted angrily: Dad, why don't we take a few hostages to retaliate? Hai Guang was furious like a lion, roaring: Yes, an eye for an eye, an eye for an eye. Yan Wang Guo Guang laughed wildly and said: "Boy, your teeth are not strong yet, and your milk odor is not dry yet!"When adults talk, how can your children have room to intervene?Get away. Hai Guang strode out, put his hand on the sword target and said: What are you shouting about?Master, I want to capture you, do you believe it or not? Guo Guang, the King of Hell, was furious, and the tiger pounced on him, stretched out his right claw, and a cloud dragon showed its claws, and went to the palace without any scruples to capture him. Hai Guang dodged to the side, turned around and swung his legs obliquely in return. puff!Sweeping next to the opponent's right calf, like a medium tough armor, it was knocked back and flew eight feet diagonally. Yan Wang Guo Guang was too careless, and he was kicked as soon as he met him. Although it was innocuous, he couldn't hold his face. If it was a testament to his skill, wouldn't he be a loser? Guo Guang, the King of Hades, was so angry that his seven orifices were filled with smoke. With a cry of anger, he pulled out the King's Token of Hades, and shouted angrily: "Master, I want to chop you into pieces and kill you!" Yang Jiping didn't want his nephew to take risks, so his figure flashed out like lightning, his sword light shot rapidly, and the sound of the sword whistling was breathtaking, zheng!There was a loud bang, and sparks flew. Yan Wang Ling is a heavy weapon, and when it comes into contact with Qingling's sword, it is reasonable to have the upper hand.However, the sword orders intersected, and the two drifted back sideways in the same direction.Yang Jiping took two steps back, but Yan Wang Guo Guang was flying for more than ten feet and almost fell down. Yang Jiping put his sword back into its sheath, and said in a deep voice: I'll make it clear again, don't ask about other matters, luckily don't force me. Yan Wang Guo Guang's complexion changed drastically, his arrogance disappeared, and he made a gesture to Abbot Hongguang, and the two of them suddenly flew back. Chase!Yang Jiping shouted urgently and chased him out first. The four young men did not expect that the other party would retreat without a fight. Even counting Yang Jiping, the five of them lacked experience in fighting Jianghu people. The opponent suddenly retreated, which caught them by surprise. Started to chase out, the opponent was already ten feet away, and the castration was extremely fast.The forest is dense and the grass is deep, so it is not easy to catch up. Even though it was in broad daylight, the start was too late and the opponent's movement was too fast, they only chased for an inch and a half, and the two fleeing left and right disappeared in a short while. Five people stood under a poplar tree in a daze, not knowing where to chase them. Just as he was wondering, there was a strange laugh like an owl's cry suddenly came from the direction on the right where Guo Guang, the King of Hades, was fleeing. Listening to the source of the sound, it seems that the distance is between forty and fifty steps.However, due to the deep forest and lush grass nearby, it is difficult to see the scenery and objects thirty steps away. Let's pursue carefully, don't be too hasty, be on guard everywhere, and beware of the enemy's sneak attack with hidden weapons.Yang Jiping ordered categorically. The five searched in the direction where the laughter came from.Soon, the eyes lit up, and the forest was gone.In front of it is a lawn with a size of thirty to fifty acres, scattered with waist-length thorns and clumps of shrubs. There is no forest to cover the sky, and the red sun slanting to the west hangs on the treetops behind.Although the field of view is wide above, the eyesight below is still limited. On the top of a grassy hill thirty or forty steps ahead, sat three people, one monk, one monk, and one layman, about forty or fifty years old. The monk laughed loudly, and raised his hands to greet each other: "Benefactor Yang, come here, do you want to see your son?" Now that someone has been found, there is no need to search for it.Yang Jiping quickly rushed towards the grassy hill, and went straight to the top of the hill. The grassy hill had a radius of about five feet and was only two feet high. There was no room for many people on it. The four young men did not keep up with each other, and stood on guard. Yang Jiping approached within one zhang, clasped his fists in salute and said: Master, I know you, please tell me your identity. Hehe, the poor monk placed an order at Shuiyue Temple the day before yesterday. The strange thing is that Guizhuang didn't send anyone to investigate. It's really puzzling to let the powerful enemy snore by the bed.The monk said with a smile. The Zhuang doesn't ask anyone's business, the master should understand. Ha ha!Under the overturned nest, how can there be any eggs?Your father didn't see the dangerous situation, no wonder it ended like this. The master is the person of the thousand-handed god? Ha ha!What is the thousand-handed god? Huh!that dog There is no need to play charades with you, let me tell you clearly!The vicious means of the Thousand Hands God Lord have indeed posed a serious threat to your father. Tiao Shanzhuang could not make my father bow his head under violence for the sake of the puppy's life and death.Yang Jiping said in a deep voice. Ha ha!I know this, so God Lord Thousand Hands doesn't have the knowledge to know people, so half of the failure.Therefore, on behalf of the mafia masters who came to rob the ship this time, I will take five of your benefactors as hostages, and ask your father to leave Cangzhou within three days and go to the capital to relax, so as not to get in the way. Ha ha!Your father doesn't care about the life and death of a grandson, but how could he not plan for the five of you?The monk said triumphantly. you The poor monk explained Mingjing.Those two are fellow Taoist Guangyuan, a poisonous Taoist, and the benefactor Dongfang Xingbo. In this way, you are not a thousand-handed god We are the ones who want to drive away the Thousand-Handed God Lord. Yang Jiping let out a long breath, and said word by word: My father didn't pay attention to the coercion of the Thousand Hands God Lord, and he didn't intend to expel the black and white friends from Cangzhou. Therefore, I have nothing to say to you, and please don't try to keep us as hostages.Excuse me, goodbye. Monk Mingjing laughed wildly, raised his hand and said: Donor, please look around to see if the poor monk can keep you? Among the bushes and thorn forests in all directions, there were thirty-five black-clothed men and women standing up, among them were Monk Hongguang, Tianjun Zhaixing and Guo Guang, King of Yama. Don't push me!Yang Jiping called out in a low voice. Monk Mingjing jumped up, with an extra handy shovel in his hand, and said with a smile: "Benefactor Yang, poor monk, has no malicious intentions, so I don't want to hurt you." The poor monk hopes you will cooperate, throw down the sword, and follow the poor monk to settle down in the secret cave.After the incident, the poor monk sent everyone back to the village respectfully, never breaking his promise, and his reputation is guaranteed. Yang Jiping shook his head, and said in a deep voice: The men and women in Tiaoshanzhuang, unless it is a life-and-death situation, will never fight with others.Now, I have no choice.If according to your conditions, the puppy will be buried in the hands of the thousand-handed god One death is better than fifty deaths.The poisonous Taoist said fiercely. Clang!Yang Jiping withdrew his long sword, let out a long breath and said calmly: Tiao Shanzhuang has made concessions to the point where there is no way out, and you are forced to have no way out. I'm about to leave, anyone who tries to stop the five people below will be terrified.He turned his head and shouted down: "Children, rush!" He swept down, and the four little guys withdrew their swords at the same time.The surrounded people did not move, waiting for orders to intercept. Monk Mingjing laughed wildly, and swooped down like a fierce tiger. He shoveled the wind and roared like a mountain collapsing. Yang Jiping dodged sideways, turned around, briskly dodged the powerful shovel, and fought back against the monk's right flank with a sword and a spirit snake. Zheng!The monk turned around and swung the shovel to catch it, adding 30% strength to the shovel. He failed to retreat in time, the speed of the monk's shovel was appalling, the heavy hand shovel was as light as a feather in his hand, sending and receiving freely, the human shovel seemed to be one body, he met the most terrifying master. He felt his jaw go numb, his whole right arm was stiff, and the fierce counterattack from the sword was so powerful that it forced him to fly away. Monk Mingjing sank an inch into the ground with his feet, his expression changed, and he said: It is rare to see someone who can take a shovel from my Divine Power Buddha, good!Give me another shovel. Amidst the sound of drinking, the fire rushes in, the wind and thunder are faint at the place where the shovel is moved, and the undercurrent of dark energy sweeps towards Yang Jiping with overwhelming prestige. The power of this move to sweep away thousands of troops has already controlled more than two feet, coupled with the unrivaled inner strength, the strong wind pushed two feet away, and the weeds on the ground fell down one after another. Yang Jiping didn't dare to take it hard, and shouted: Withdraw!Go northeast. The sound is so loud that it shoots away ten feet away. No one can go!The monk shouted arrogantly, and followed him. clank!The two swords of Hai Guang and Shi Hao were hit by the monk's handy shovel, their faces were pale, they were knocked flying, and there was blood oozing from the tiger's mouth. Unable to walk, he had to do his best, Yang Jiping turned around to rescue him, roared, and attacked the monk's right flank with his body and sword.
