Chapter 43 Chapter 43: The Masked Man

Yang Jiping withdrew his move in time, his body looked like an electric shock and slanted, and he attacked the monk's right crotch with a backhand sword. Shenli Buddha's move failed, he took a step back, his body turned halfway, his shovel head sank and picked. Zheng!A spark slipped away, and Yang Jiping staggered back more than ten feet. The monk followed up like a shadow, and laughed wildly: "Lie down for me!" The shovel pressed down like a mountain and reached Yang Jiping's top door. Yang Jiping had no chance to protect himself other than pushing obliquely with his sword or holding it with his hands. He hadn't stabilized his body yet, and he was powerless to dodge.The four little guys screamed in horror and flew forward.

Poison Taoist and Thunderbolt from the Blue Sky have penetrated into it and stopped it. Du Taoist's sword had a blue-gray light, and the mountain-breaking ax of the thunderbolt from the blue sky weighed thirty catties, and it was extremely overbearing. The sound of clanking, clanging, metal and iron clattered to one's ears, and the silhouettes of people split apart. The four little guys flew back ten feet, and everything was over. However, there was a loud exclamation.Beside the Divine Power Buddha, there was a man wearing a green straight skirt in the air. With a green handkerchief covering the head, a green scarf covering the face, with bare hands, the left hand grasped the handle of the handy shovel head, and the feet stood in uneven poses.

More than 30 masters in the surrounding area exclaimed almost at the same time, greatly shocked by this sudden appearance. People in the northeast corner only saw the blue shadow shooting in, and it was only when the figure stopped that they saw that it was a person. The shovel of the Divine Power Buddha was like a collapsing mountain, which was about to break Yang Jiping's sword and was restrained by his shoulders. Unexpectedly, the masked man in green clothes arrived in time and grabbed the powerful shovel. Let go, monk.The masked man said quietly. Yang Jiping's face was pale, and he struggled to retreat eight feet away, as if he had lost all strength and his feet were unstable.

The Divine Power Buddha let out an angry roar, struggling to grab the shovel. I want to borrow your shovel.The masked man took the shovel and said quietly. The monk's body sank, his fists tensed tightly, then his hands trembled, his face changed, and his feet went limp. Suddenly, his body was shaken, his hands loosened quickly, staggered back, took four steps back and suddenly sat down, sweating, a pair of huge eyes opened wide, as if they were about to protrude from the orbit, staring at the masked man like a ghost. The masked man weighed the shovel with his hands, and said with satisfaction: Very good, the molten iron mill weighs eighty-two catties, so it's easy to hold.

wipe!With a sound, he plunged into the ground with a shovel. The shovel is 6 feet 4 inches long from the head to the tail. The handle is thicker than a large teacup. These numbers alone are enough to make people frightened. Shovel into the ground three feet, God!Without ten thousand catties of divine power, how could it be done? The divine power Buddha shocked the rivers and lakes with his supernatural power, and was proud of being able to lift mountains and lift a tripod. He picked it up, and a shovel of dirt flew into the air, and fell ten feet away, like a torrential rain.The six masters below fled in embarrassment.Shenlifo shivered, and got up in fear and backed away.

The poisonous Taoist flicked his poisonous sword, and asked in a deep voice: Are you from Tiaoshanzhuang?Pull off the veil, Pindao wants to see your true colors, common name! The masked man glanced at the other party, and said indifferently: Don't ask me who I am?Seeing my true colors will do you no good, so let's go!I'm going to send the Second Young Master away. The poisonous Taoist approached step by step with an angry face, and said sharply: "The poor Taoist wants to be merciful to you!" Well, I don't want to let you go, because your sword is poisonous, leaving you to cause more troubles in the rivers and lakes, it is better to bury you

The thunderbolt from the blue sky did not know how severe it was, and suddenly rushed forward from the rear.Thirty catties of mountain ax came to Wu Gang to cut wood, as if a giant spirit had reappeared in the world. Convenient shovel wave, when!There was a big earthquake, and the mountain-opening ax flew five zhang away at an appalling speed before falling down. Crash!Sweeping a bunch of low shrubs, the majestic momentum, thrilling. If you don't leave, eat me with a shovel.The masked man said calmly. Both palms were covered in blood, he retreated five or six steps in a row and almost fell down, his face was ashen, his whole body trembled, he suddenly turned around and flew away in horror.

If you really want to eat a shovel, what's the deal?I'm afraid it will become a flat duck!Wouldn't it be silly not to leave? The second one to slip away was Shenli Buddha, and the thief monk was almost scared out of his wits. The poisonous Taoist gasped, realizing that his situation was too dangerous. Thirty-five masters around him disappeared without a trace like a group of mice, leaving only a lonely family! escape!This is the old man's first thought. The masked man had already seen the old Taoist's intentions and said: Run away!Let you escape ten steps first, within ten steps I will definitely kill you, you should move.

On the contrary, the poisonous Taoist didn't run away, and said frightenedly: Your Excellency, did the poor Taoist have any problems with you? No.The masked man said calmly. and you I just don't like your poisoned sword. The poisonous Taoist threw out the sword and said tremblingly: "Give me the sword, is that enough?" The masked man tapped the shovel, and the xiphoid on the ground flew upwards. He caught the sword, zheng!With a slap on the head of the shovel, the sword broke half a foot away, five or six consecutive slaps, only the target remained of the sword. He threw it away and said, "Okay!"you can go now.

Du Daoist felt extremely distressed, he gritted his teeth and said: Your Excellency, leave your name behind, and the shame of destroying the sword will be avenged. The masked man Zhichao said with a strange smile: If you want to know my name, you have to keep your ears.If you want to see my true colors, you have to keep a pair of eyeballs.Speak!what do you want to leave behind The poisonous Taoist shuddered, turned his head and walked away, gnashing his teeth and said: Your Excellency, the green mountains will not change, and the green water will flow forever.We will meet later. hello go.Next time we meet, I hope you have already cultivated into the body of a half-immortal, otherwise you will be sent to heaven.

Poison Taoist turned sharply and fled like flying. Yang Jiping hurried forward to salute, and said with lingering fear: Brother Taiwan is brave and natural, Xiaoke has no teeth and will never forget The masked man returned the salute and said with a smile: "Xiao Ke took care of this business, please don't mind the Second Young Master."In fact, if your father was willing to stand up with a sword, why would he be here today? Yang Jiping let out a long sigh, and said helplessly: My father is benevolent and righteous, and he is old, so he will not disregard the morals of the world because of the misconduct of the younger generation, and break the trust of his fellow martial artists. The owner of the second young master, I am not from the Jianghu, and has not entered the world to enter the world, so I don't know the morals of the Jianghu, and I don't know who determines the so-called morals of the Jianghu, and I don't make any judgments about who is right and who is wrong. But the bone is stuck in the throat, and I don't spit out, so I'm sorry to say it bluntly. There is nothing wrong with being stubborn in choosing goodness, but it is not lawful to ignore the relationship between parents and children and endure Xiaoxiao's rampant misconduct.Your father is afraid that he will be wronged by Xiaoren Xiaoyi and be lost forever. Yang Jiping was still in a daze. The masked man took two steps back and said: Your father doesn't need a sword, but needs him to show his face. The righteousness shows his attitude, and the righteous words strictly distinguish the enemy from us. The demons and little ghosts will bow their heads under the righteousness.One mistake cannot be repeated, there is still time. Second correction tonight, Xiao Ke is here waiting for your father to rescue Young Master Ling together.If the old man doesn't come, Xiao Ke has no choice but to get out of the way.goodbye. When the sound fell, it turned into light smoke, and shot eastward, as if flying through the air, and the two ups and downs disappeared among the grass and thorns. Yang Jiping watched the other party's figure disappear, and then said word by word: Yes, one mistake should not be repeated, there is still time.Let's go home, children.With the help of this person, the event will be settled! But Xiao Ci said with furrowed brows: Huh!This benefactor's accent is so familiar, who is he? He is a young man who has reached perfection, how did he practice?Haihua girl interfaced in confusion. How do you know he's a young man?People in the world who have this kind of skill will have to spend at least a sixty years practicing hard.Shi Hao said smugly. Xiao Ci rolled her eyes at Brother Nai, curled her lips and said: You can't do it, so I hope he is an old man so as to cover up my incompetence, right? Listen to his voice, look at his bright eyes and skin-colored eyelids, are there any wrinkles? His hands look like an old man?Does his strong and confident words sound like the tone of a veteran who handles everything smoothly? Yang Shihao didn't think it was rebellious: the eldest sister only pays attention to whether people are young, unlike us frightened birds who are too vulgar Third brother, your little Ci blushed and called out. Yang Jiping waved his hands and called: "Come on, don't make noise!"Watch out for villains who come and come back. Second correction, Yang Yunbo arrived on time with his two sons and one son-in-law. The old man likes to wear a green robe without a weapon.The two sons and the son-in-law both wear swords and cinnamon pouches, and are dressed in vigorous clothes. On the top of the hill, the masked man stood up to greet him, still dressed in daytime clothes, masked, held a handy shovel in his arms, saluted with the shovel in hand and said: The old man has indeed come, congratulations. Yang Yunbo bowed to the ground and said sincerely: Old Yang Yunbo, not only came to thank his brother for his virtue of saving the siege during the day, but also apologized for his ignorance and stupidity.Brother Taiwan is very kind and virtuous, the old man dare not or forget, and he will report it later.The old man is bold, please show your name to your brother. The masked man pulled out his shovel and said: Xiao Ke is not from the Jianghu, and he is about to meet with a large group of masters in the Jianghu. If we meet in the real face, there will be a lot of inconvenience in the future, please forgive me, senior.Sorry to tell you, the old man can just call Xiao Ke a masked person. this How many people did the old man bring? The old man's whole family came, and four other friends, Yang Yunbo, who had life-threatening friendships, told the truth. The masked man nodded and said: Very good, a few more people can strengthen the momentum.Does the old man know who we are going to deal with tonight? The old man only knows a few people, Jiuyinpo, Qianshoushenjun, and the villain of the underworld.The masterminds came north with the boat, and they are now near Yangzhou, where Jiuyinpo presides over the overall situation. They came in four batches successively, Jiuyinpo was the second batch. The old man is confident that he can deal with Jiuyinpo, but the difficulty is that he doesn't know where she is hiding. They built a total of four secret caves near Cangzhou. The secret cave of the thousand-handed god is in the post station, but it has been abandoned and merged into the secret cave of Jiuyinpo. Tonight, the group of demons in the secret cave danced wildly, and the main figures of the four groups of people all came to participate, and their strength was unprecedentedly strong, but Jiuyinpo had changed her lair and did not attend the meeting. oh!Who is in charge of robbing the old grandson? It is indeed Jiuyinpo.But for now, the Peerless Swordsman is in charge of the overall situation. What?The Peerless Swordsman is here?impossible!Yang Yunbo exclaimed in surprise. Xiao Ke has already seen him. Yang Yunbo said uncomfortably: So, all their leaders have come here. The masked man interjected: The envoy's ship will pass through Cangzhou quietly the day after tomorrow.The envoy ship near Yangzhou was a bait, and there was a fake Wushuang swordsman on it, escorted by Dongfangcheng, the first hero in Jianghuai. It turns out that the Peerless Swordsman is such a vicious conspiracy. The people we are going to deal with tonight, besides the Peerless Swordsman, there are forty or fifty masters, the old man must be prepared. The old man went all out, and everything was under his brother's orders. The masked man said happily: The measure of the old man is very human.Since the old man trusts Xiao Ke, then, forgive Xiao Ke for being presumptuous, please listen to Xiao Ke's arrangement He briefly stated the arrangement in a low voice.Yang Yunbo trusted him completely, but he was suspicious, wondering why he knew everyone in Tiao Shanzhuang. Soon, twenty-eight young and old gathered in a small forest in the southwest corner. The masked man immediately dispatched people, saying: In the past two days, the Peerless Swordsman has set up eight secret caves within 50 miles upstream and downstream of Cangzhou, secretly covering the passage of the special envoy Baozhou pretending to be a cargo ship. The main secret cave is located in a small village six miles south of Jiedi Town, a place that Senior Yang is very familiar with. Tonight, the masterminds from all over the world agreed to meet in the main secret cave to discuss how to stir up disputes, so as to distract the attention of the gangsters who intend to rob the ship, and let the special envoy's secret boat take the opportunity to secretly sail to Tianjin Wei. The three of them corrected all the staff and left before dawn.Therefore, you need to be divided into three groups, surrounded by the water surface and the north and south sides of the secret cave, and you are allowed to enter and not allowed to go out.If there is no certainty of capturing people without making a sound, there is no need to take the risk of intercepting the people and let them go. Wushuang swordsman will not leave easily, because the envoy's secret boat is coming soon. Xiao Ke took a few people to Lijiawa on the old Cangzhou Trail to save Shijie, brother, and it is estimated that he will be able to rush back around five o'clock. Regardless of whether Xiao Ke succeeds or not, Senior Yang must come out to the village to negotiate with the Peerless Swordsman at dawn, try to delay as long as possible, and wait for Xiao Ke to come. Among them, there are several characters with extremely high skill, such as Ling Junhao the Demon Hammer, Jin Biao the Giant, Tianxiang Fairy, Lenghun Taoist, Peach Blossom Immortal History, Necromancer, etc., all of them are cruel and extremely difficult characters. .Therefore, it must be delayed as much as possible, and the wits are not fought. Senior Yang must seize the opportunity. He announced the names of the group of demons, and even Cang Haike felt a chill down his spine. The beggar's heart turned cold, and he changed his color and asked, "Brother masked, are these people here?"Is the news reliable? The masked man said quietly: To tell you the truth, when the second group of them arrived, they were under Xiao Ke's surveillance. Their every move was under Xiao Ke's control, and the news was absolutely reliable. God!Let's go, don't we force ourselves to break through the gate of hell? If you want to quit, there is still time.The masked man said coldly. The disabled beggar patted his chest and said loudly: Brother, please don't worry, if you go up the mountain of knives and down to the pan of oil, none of the people who come with you tonight will be afraid of death. That's fine, as long as you can wait until Xiao Ke arrives, Xiao Ke will deal with those old devil men and women.Furthermore, if you can get some hostages, the situation will be greatly beneficial. The old man will do his best.Yang Yunbo said calmly. The old man didn't do his best, but he did everything he could. He used all means for sneak attacks and plots, and he had to put aside such acts of small benevolence and righteousness that insisted on the rules of the rivers and lakes. Since they don't abide by the rules of the rivers and lakes, why should Senior Yang be scrupulous?If you have no objections, Xiao Ke will assign people immediately. Listen to Xiongtai's arrangement.Yang Yunbo said without hesitation. First of all, Xiao Ke needs two assistants. These two brothers must be people who have no past with friends in the rivers and lakes. They must go to Lijiawa to save people. The brothers led their dog Haiguang to follow and serve.The owner of Yingyang Island screamed. The masked man shook his head and said calmly: The island owner needs to use four loach boats to seal off the river bay and capture those who leave. The responsibility is very heavy. Yang Yunbo asked: What kind of talents are needed for those who are going? The masked man smiled and said: People who are alert and calm, who can play tricks, can help take the captives, and take away the small owner. They don't need to fight with others, of course they must have self-defense skills. Grandpa, I'll go.Miss Haihua raised her hand and said. The masked man smiled and said: You are eager to win, and you will make mistakes. Haihua also smiled and said: I will listen to you, okay? Masked humanity: Can you move two people? Miss Xiaoci interjected: I will be responsible for bringing two people. The masked man nodded and said: You can take Brother Ling, but it is absolutely forbidden to fight in close quarters. The kind of work that boys punch and kick is very troublesome. Can you agree? Xiaoci clapped her hands three times and said: One word is settled, and those who violate it will be punished. All personnel are divided into two groups.The owner of Yingyang Island is responsible for intercepting people on the river.Yang Yun, a Canghai guest, was led to guard the south.The beggar and his good friend Luo Xing, the demon-subduing swordsman, led Yang Jihe and six men and women to guard the north. Before the fifth watch, it is forbidden to approach within two miles, so as not to startle the snake.After discussing for a while, they immediately went on the road and set off quietly in batches.Lijiawa is a three-family village in the swampy area beside a small river, more than 20 miles away from Cangzhou, and about 20 miles west of the canal. The Peerless Swordsman calculated quite well, and imprisoned the hostages in an inconspicuous desolate village twenty miles away, and the secret caves were all built by the canal, who would have thought that the hostages were not in the secret caves? He thinks he is super witty and foolproof, but it is better to have his every move watched by others. In the end, all his schemes come to naught, which is really unexpected. The Wushuang swordsman was scheming, and sent people to lurk near Cangzhou in advance.All those who came to Cangzhou with plans were under his watchful eye, including the owner Yang Yunbo's family, and his every move was under his control. However, a wise man is bound to make a mistake, not afraid of 10,000 but just in case, no one expected that the accident would happen to an unknown villager. When news of the masked man frightening the gangsters back at Bailiaogang came out, Wushuang swordsman mistook Yang Yunbo masked to threaten the gangsters. Although he was quite scrupulous, he was very excited, thinking that the trick had succeeded. He sent a few more people to monitor Tiao Shanzhuang, but he didn't make preparations for contingencies. Yang Yunbo went out in person and took the elite of the whole village to Bailiaogang by night, which meant that the storm was coming and the situation near Cangzhou would change. After Wushuang swordsman got the report, he was even more relieved. The heroes of the underworld ambushed all over the post. Obviously, Cang Haike went to expel the heroes of the underworld as expected. On the fourth day of the watch, before the meeting in the secret cave was over, news came from Bailiaogang that the Canghaike group had disappeared, and the ambush of the underworld heroes in Bailiaogang was safe and sound. The Peerless Swordsman was very vigilant, and immediately began to prepare for the contingency. The masters of the secret cave were everywhere, but the meeting of the masterminds did not stop because of this. At the same time, they sent people to assist Li Jiawa to prevent Yang Yunbo from sneaking into Li Jiawa to save people. Xiaoci and Haihua's cousins ​​followed closely behind the masked man, walking across the country without taking the trail, and their speed gradually increased. While walking, Xiaoci asked in surprise: Senior, isn't this the way to the old Cangzhou?Did you go wrong? Guarantee you can't go wrong.hehe!Do you want to take the trouble to take the trail? yes!It's too dark to walk better than off-road? If you walk, you will run in vain tonight. There are eyeliners lurking along the way. People are watching day and night. They use light signals to send forward. Can you run faster than the lights? oh!Senior seems to be very familiar with this area? Yes, quite familiar. I can rest assured that. The matter of life and death makes my ancestor feel at ease with me, so what questions do you have? Why are seniors talking nonsense? hehe!You didn't expect that I was leading you to live in a trap? But Xiao Ci chuckled and said: "Grandpa's opinion is good." The masked man turned his head and asked: What does Lingzu think? Miss Haihua interjected: "Grandpa said, if senior is a man of the Thousand Hands God Lord, he could easily capture the five of us alive during the day."With six hostages in hand, the only way Tiao Shanzhuang can go is to accept coercion, and there is no need to talk about other things, right? The masked man smiled and said: You all misunderstood the old owner, he will not accept coercion, sooner or later he will embark on the road to a showdown with the other party. Do you think that after this turmoil, the Peerless Swordsman will allow Tiao Shanzhuang to exist?Just as the thousand-handed god said, your father making a big fuss at the post station is tantamount to bringing huge troubles to Tiao Villa. What is the purpose of these words?Haihua girl asked in surprise. The Thousand-Handed Lord is greedy for life and afraid of death, and the hostages he recruited have already been taken away by Jiu Yinpo. When confessing in front of so many people, Wushuang swordsman will not be able to deny him in the future. If the Thousand-Handed Lord didn't confess to the public that day, and it will be a matter of later, as long as the Thousand-handed Lord is hidden or killed to silence him, how can Tiao Shanzhuang have any basis to seek justice from the Wushuang swordsman? God!What a terrible thing you say.Haihua cried out in panic. Don't be ridiculous, once these underworld ghosts get the support of the government, the rules of the world are worthless, and anything that is impossible can happen. If the old owner hadn't woken up in time, I would be too lazy to meddle in other people's business and help others. God will not help those who bow to fate. He said this with a lot of emotion. Senior was also at the inn that day?Xiaoci suddenly asked. Just in time for the meeting. Is it the identity of the evil guest of the Yin Division, the senior? Even if he doesn't drink, Uncle Ling can withstand a blow to the heart, but it will take some suffering. Thank you, senior.Hai Hua said excitedly. Please don't take it to heart.It's almost here, let's find a place to rest and recuperate first, and I'll get the police post first. Two small streams and five or six ponds surround Sanjia Village, which can be approached from any direction. There were sporadic barking dogs in the distance, and the masked man took two girls around to the south of the village, leaned on the path between the two ponds, and said in a low voice: There are dogs in the village, they are very annoying, but they can also be sent. use.Now, you rest and recuperate, and prepare to pretend to be a ghost to catch people later. He took out a special reed pipe and blew a strange sound, whimpering and whimpering, the sound wave was not loud but continuous. The two listened for no reason, their hearts felt cold, their scalps were tense and their hairs were standing on end. There are about five or six domestic dogs in the village. Their barking suddenly changed into a long howl, like a sick dog crying at night. This long howling sound also made people feel ominous from the bottom of their hearts. I'll put down the police whistle first, you wait for me here.said the masked man. Before the words were finished, the figure had slowly left. He is like a ghost.Haihua said in fear. Two police posts stood under a big tree about a hundred paces from the entrance of the village, leaning on the tree trunk to monitor the surroundings.
