Chapter 22: The Battle between the Sect Master

Yan Sina is the top master in the evil path. If he fully exerted his evil skills, he would be able to fight against the monks and others. Even if Hu Xiaotian had his skills restored, he would not be his opponent at the moment. Moreover, he was still practicing forbidden skills and had just launched a life-saving sword. His energy and spirit fell to the bottom, and he was really unable to resist his opponent's killing moves.

Yan Jiu opened his mouth and shouted angrily: "Stop!" He kicked his feet, and the broken wood of the table and chairs shot at Yan Si, trying to disrupt his moves. But the two were too far apart, and the wood that was flying like rain was still in the air, and Yan Si's iron fan had already ruthlessly slashed down.

Hu Xiaotian rolled rapidly on the ground, and was swept by an iron fan on his shoulder and back. He felt like he was hit by a thousand pound hammer. He couldn't help but vomit blood and hit the wall hard.

Yan Si was overjoyed to see this. Could it be that this boy's magical swordsmanship was just a flash in the pan?! Haha, he laughed, swung his fan and slapped the wood from the fire, and his left palm condensed Jiu's success power, aiming at Hu Xiaotian's head, and he must smash his head to vent his anger. Hu Xiaotian saw the enemy's palm slap, and suddenly raised his hand and threw an exquisite jade bottle out of his hand. With the power of his palm, he was immediately shattered, and countless white powders floated and scattered. Yan Si couldn't stop his momentum.

When he rushed into the white fog, he instinctively held his breath, fearing that the fog would be poisonous, but the next moment, the bone-black cold filled his whole body and quickly penetrated into his flesh and bones. Yan Si shouted: "What's this? Ghost, play, play... mind?" The voice trembled and could hardly be made into a sentence. Although he immediately used his skills to resist, a layer of white ice crystals covered his entire body unstoppable, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a white ice sculpture with a strange posture.

It turns out that what Hu Xiaotian threw out was the ten thousand-year ice spirit! This thing is extremely cold, and ordinary people will be frozen when they touch it. Even a first-class master of the level like Yan Si will rashly rush into the ice mist transformed by the ice spirit, and the qi and blood will be blocked, and they will temporarily lose their power of action. At the moment of life, they will not expect the divine weapon to descend to the sky. Hu Xiaotian had no choice but to abandon this magical object in the Ming Cult to avoid the imminent killing disaster. As for how to balance the yin and yang energy in the body in the future and how to avoid being possessed by the devil, he would not care about so much.

Hu Xiaotianshen knew the characteristics of the strange cold ice spirit. Before it exploded, he rolled away and grabbed the short sword in the palm of the dead soul guard. He was about to take the opportunity to kill Yan Si, but when he heard several loud bangs, the windows were cracking, six or seven black-clothed masked soul guards swung their swords at the same time: "Protect Master!"

Hu Xiaotian was startled and threw the short sword at the staggered Yan Si, shouting at the inexplicable Yan Jiu: "Escape!" With Yan Si's internal energy cultivation, he could recover his freedom of movement in at most a quarter of an hour. When will he not leave?

Yan Jiu had no time to ask in detail, reached out and grabbed Hu Xiaotian's arm, and several palms in his other hand, shaking the black-clothed soul guard blocking the road, and jumped out through the window. Yan Si was guilty and only brought the most loyal soul guard with him. He had limited personnel and did not dare to set up a big flag to murder Yan Jiu, so there was no ambush outside the house. The two of them climbed over the wall and walked through the tiles, and seized the time to escape quickly. Yan Jiu ran for a while, then jumped off the tiles and pulled Hu Xiaotian to hide in a deserted courtyard. She had just been kicked and failed to adjust her breathing in time. When she stopped, she couldn't help but cover her mouth and coughed softly, and blood was oozing between her fingers.

Hu Xiaotian whispered: "Miss Yan, I have the secret Lihuo Pill made by Shaolin Temple, which may be slightly helpful to your injuries." As he said that, he poured out the pill and handed it over.

Because of the haste, Yan Jiu had no time to bring anything. Except for a few holy objects in the sect, she didn't even have a tael of silver, let alone a healing pill. She looked at Hu Xiaotian with a complicated expression and said softly: "Thank you." She took the Lihuo Pill and took it, sighed in her heart. When will the favors she owed him to pay off? If Hu Xiaotian had not helped her, she would definitely not be able to escape Yan Si's clutch, and she would be extremely likely to become a toy that could be humiliated, and her fate would be a hundred times worse than death.

Hu Xiaotian said: "Yan Si has broken up and intends to harm you. Why don't you contact other disciples of the same sect immediately to conquer this beast? As long as you show the token of the sect leader, you will become famous and occupy the commanding heights of morality. You are not afraid of Yan Si's nonsense."

Yan Jiu shook his head and said, "Your Madam Hu, you don't know that Yan Si is the disciples of the sect in Luoyang, Kaifeng, and Taiyuan. He promoted all the leaders of the city by himself. Although I have the token of the sect leader, it is far from enough to intimidate them with this thing alone. When it comes to the dispute between the sect leader, these people may not necessarily support me openly, nor will they besiege Yan Si. Ten will be able to watch and live and die, and Yan Si and I will be the winner. Without external support, it will be difficult for me to defeat Yan Si and the forces behind it."

Hu Xiaotian gasped, Luoyang was actually Yan Si's territory! The right time, place, people and all fall into the opponent. Why should Yan Jiu fight with others? Not to mention defeating Yan Si, she can escape safely outside the city, so she should thank God for her ancestors. She frowned and said, "Miss Yan, can't you notify Yan Da, Yan Er and others to come forward to justice? The nine ghosts in the underworld are called in the world. According to the order, where is Yan Si's turn to cover the sky with one hand?"

Yan Jiu sighed lightly: "Yan Si is also familiar with several secret contact points inside and outside the city. How could he not prevent me from writing letters for help? If nothing unexpected happens, every contact point is a death trap, and I will wait for me to step in. What should you do if you think I should do?"

Compared to Yan Jiu, Hu Xiaotian is even more unfamiliar with Luoyang and has no relatives. Where can I find someone to send a letter? Yan Jiu wants to avoid Yan Si's pursuit, and he wants to avoid the revenge of the Lianzhu Gang, which is a pity for the same illness. When the two of them look at me and I look at you, they feel that the road ahead is dim and confused.

As night falls, the moon is as cool as water.

Li Xiuniang ignored her fatigue and returned to the house and changed into a plain white dress, put in an incense and candle in front of the secretly established spiritual seat, and silently worshiped. She had already written to the old master and sent it back to the Sun family's family with a secret. Before the old master made a decision, considering the power disputes between the various houses and branches of the family, she had to suppress the news that Sun Hao was dead suddenly, so as not to change the disputes between the head of the family. She had to do nothing in the past two days.

, still dealing with the business books as before, secretly sheds many tears. Her husband died unexpectedly, and she did not give birth to a boy or a half woman. She was young and widowed. How should she deal with herself in the Sun family in the future? If the old man leaves, who else can she rely on? She knows very well that among those uncles and brothers, they either covet her beauty and want to force her to remarry, or they deliberately drive her back to their parents' home. None of them wants to see her occupy the high position of the family deacon and stand alone.

Li Xiuniang stroked the spirit card with her hand, couldn't help but shed tears again, and said softly: "Husband, you died in a foreign land and your body is gone. Can you find your way home? I miss you, blame you, hate you, you are like you knowing you, you will come to a dream to meet me? For the Sun family and to repay the old man's respect, I am very tired and hard. Do you know? If you are still alive, I will definitely take off the burden on my shoulders and concentrate on being a good wife and mother..."

Suddenly, there were two light bangs at the back window, and someone called out: "Madam Sun!"

Li Xiuniang was stunned for a moment, quickly put down the curtain to block the spiritual position, moved to the window, and her heart was pounding for some reason, so nervous that she couldn't breathe, and she said softly: "Is it Mr. Hu?"

Hu Xiaotian said: "It's the young student! Madam, open the window quickly. I have something urgent to ask for your help."

Li Xiuniang's cheeks were hot and her palms were sweating. Countless fantasy scenes about affair between men and women suddenly passed by her mind, shy and angry. This person obviously had a wife, so why did she sneak into the Sun family for ill intentions? Did he treat himself as a coquettish and slutty woman? His tone became cold and said lightly: "Mr. Hu, I am alone, and it is not convenient to meet you in the dormitory. If you have anything to do, please go to the door for negotiation tomorrow."

Hu Xiaotian hurriedly explained in a low voice: "Madam Sun, I am not here alone, there is a chivalrous woman to accompany me. We were chased by murderers in the world before, so we had no choice but to surrender to the wife, hoping that the wife would save the danger and help us overcome the difficulties." Yan Jiu, beside him, coughed lightly and said: "I'm disturbing Mrs. Sun." In order to avoid frightening strangers, she had already removed the evil ghost mask on her back and used cloth masks on her back.

When Li Xiuniang heard the voice of a young woman outside the window, a stone fell to the ground in her heart. It turned out that she was too worried and almost misunderstood the other party's character. She opened the window and saw Hu Xiaotian and a masked woman standing side by side, with dark red blood on her clothes. She was secretly surprised and said, "Young Master Hu, this female hero, please come in quickly."

Hu Xiaotian and Yan Jiu jumped into the room and closed the back window. Hu Xiaotian bowed and said, "Madam Sun, we suddenly encountered a storm. We had no relatives or friends to join us. I thought we had a relationship with our wife, so we came uninvited and wanted to use precious land to avoid it for a few days, which would be disturbed."

Li Xiuniang looked at Yan Jiu curiously, and then said with a polite look: "Young master, be polite. You keep your promise strictly and send the token of the master to the deceased husband back to the home. I am grateful to you, but I only regret that I cannot repay you. Today, when the young master is in trouble, my Sun family should help you, and I have no choice but to do so."

Hu Xiaotian said: "Thank you, madam! We offended the Lianzhu Gang this time. They are local snakes in Luoyang, with broad hands and eyes. In order to avoid leaking the news, I would like to ask my wife to help you cover up." On the way he came, he had already discussed with Yan Jiu. There was no need to mention the dispute between the underworld sect leader and the Lianzhu Gang out. Who knew that Yan Jiu told him that the Lianzhu Gang is an outer gang affiliated to the six paths of the underworld's reincarnation. The gang leader and the lords of each hall are formal disciples of the underworld, but they never reveal their true identity and martial arts. Hu Xiaotian suddenly realized, no wonder the Lianzhu Gang suddenly sent out a firework signal and recalled the gangs everywhere. What is more important than the alternation of the new and old sect leaders?

Li Xiuniang frowned slightly and said angrily: "It's Lianzhu Gang again! Did Sun Haoxiang call him? This incompetent guy drinks and gambles all day long. When he encounters trouble, he goes to Lianzhu Gang to solve it. He doesn't know how much money he spent! Oh, why is Mrs. Zun missing? Could it be that he was kidnapped by the villains of Lianzhu Gang?"

Hu Xiaotian remembered Li Xuan'er who left without saying goodbye, and said with mixed feelings: "I am lucky to be more than me. I have been saved by a mysterious girl. I don't have to worry about her."

Li Xiuniang let out a sigh and gently stroked her chest and said, "Blessed by the Bodhisattva, good people will be rewarded. Since that is the case, the young master and this female hero will live here with peace of mind. With me as the commander, the Lianzhu Gang will not rush into the mansion to catch people. Now it is the world of the Ming Dynasty, and the government is suppressed and they cannot do anything wrong."

Hu Xiaotian and Yan Jiu exchanged a look and said, "Madam, the enemy is numerous and we are few and the situation is bad. The other party has a determined intention to kill us. We can't stay in the Sun family for the rest of our lives. Therefore, we want to ask our wife to send someone to send a few letters of help tomorrow morning."

Li Xiuniang said: "No problem. My Sun family's business is all over the Yangtze River. If there is a special emergency, you can also send a letter from flying pigeons. It can be hundreds of miles a day, which is far better than a galloping horse on land."

Hu Xiaotian and Yan Jiu were very happy and thanked him repeatedly. At that moment, they took the pen and ink, and Yan Jiu wrote four notes in the secret language in the door, indicating the address and recipient, and asked Li Xiuniang to send it away as quickly as possible. As for the identities of the two, Li Xiuniang's status as head of the Sun Family in Luoyang, they were naturally arranged easily. Of course, before they were officially handed over to the housekeeper for arrangement, both of them put on makeup and disguise respectively, transformed into two ordinary servants.

Seeing that Yan Jiu's face was very beautiful and his nose was straight, Hu Xiaotian couldn't help but take a look. Yan Jiu's senses were so sharp that he immediately frowned and said coldly: "The saint said: 'Don't look at it if it is polite'. The young master has forgotten it when he was familiar with poetry and books." She was not allowed to watch it when she disguised herself. She looked quite beautiful after disguised. She was just deliberately making a lot of pockmarks on her face, which was regrettable. Hu Xiaotian shrugged and said: "You and I have been through life and death, and we are together, what's the harm in looking at each other?" Yan Jiu frowned and said: "One thing is the same thing, I don't like being peeped by men." "Steal, peeping?!" Hu Xiaotian was almost choked to death by his saliva. We were so obsessed with openness and she described it as a lewd thief. She was really depressed.

Li Xiuniang burst out laughing and said with deep meaning: "My sister Yan has never been married, so she is unwilling to let people spy on it casually. I see that her sister is slender and has a jade-like complexion and elegant temperament. She must be from a family of poetry and books. How could she be a heroine who comes from the wind and rain? If her sister is tired of her career in the future, she just needs to say to her sister and ask you to find a good man with a handsome and wealthy family."

Yan Jiu's face turned red immediately. Although thick powder blocked it, his cheeks also flushed, and he said, "Sister, you are also making fun of others. I, I have sworn in front of the gods that I will never get married in this life."

Li Xiuniang was surprised and said strangely: "How can a girl's family not marrying and having children? Good sister, it is natural for men and women to be in harmony. Don't stop the idea of ​​getting married because of being shy. Is your family not well-off enough and worried that you can't afford to get a dowry and be humiliated by your husband's family? Since you called me "Sister" today, the dowry is included in me, and I promise to let you get married and shock your future parents-in-law."

Yan Jiu covered his ears with shame: "Sister, don't say it! Anyway, they just won't marry!"

Li Xiuniang didn't know the rules of the underworld, so she thought she was too shy and comforted her for a few words before giving up. Li Xiuniang loved Yan Jiu very much, and she made an idea and asked her to stay in the room as a personal maid, chatting at night. Hu Xiaotian was not so lucky. She was taken to the side courtyard where the servant lived by the servant, and squeezed into the bunk with several male servants, and spent the night.

The next morning, Hu Xiaotian asked the housekeeper for leave and left the house alone to do business.

Unexpectedly, in just one night, many people from the rivers and lakes appeared on the streets. They were covered in dust, mixed accents everywhere, and weapons were swaying everywhere on their backs. Hu Xiaotian was secretly curious. Could something big happened recently? His current identity is a servant of the Sun family. In order to avoid revealing flaws, it is difficult for people from the rivers and lakes to inquire about it.

Hu Xiaotian came to the city gate and took advantage of the unpreparedness to engrave a contact code so that Song Qian and others could reach Luoyang and contact each other. Then, he found a weapon shop hidden in the alley. In front of the shop, ordinary weapons such as swords, guns, swords and forks were placed, and behind was a place to build weapons. There was a continuous sound of iron thrusts. Hu Xiaotian picked up an iron sword, paid the bill, wrapped it with cloth and carried it on his body, and felt much more confident. As soon as he walked out of the weapon shop, a group of men from the martial arts world squeezed in in a mess: "Boss, our weapons are cut, may you repair them here?" The boss grinned and said, "As long as the price is right, even the weapons can be repaired." The men untied the weapons, and shouted, with loud noises that could overturn the roof, for fear that others would not know their heroic deeds.

Hu Xiaotian stood outside the door, without even having to deliberately inquire, and learned from them that Yan Ao had broken through the layers of blockades and encirclement and fled into Luoyang City! He couldn't help but be amazed that the method of escaping invisible and escape in the underworld was really wonderful. First Yan Jiu and then Yan Ao, they could escape the pursuit of heroes. It was indeed amazing. All the people who coveted the holy relics of the Demon Cult were naturally unwilling to give up. At the same time, they rushed into the city and showed their magical powers to search for Yan Ao's whereabouts. However, Luoyang was tens of thousands of houses and a large population. If they wanted to find a target from the vast sea of ​​people, what's the difference between looking for a needle in a haystack? Moreover, Luoyang is the location of Henan Prefecture and stationed in the Ming Army Guard. Who dares to openly break into the house and do whatever it takes to do? Once the government is alarmed, they will definitely not be able to take it. There are still hundreds of heads hanging on Chang'an City!

Hu Xiaotian sighed inwardly. If Yan Ao entered the city one day earlier, even if he had only one breath, with his prestige accumulated over the years, he could suppress the ambitions of all kinds of people. Now that Yan Si has taken action, he has completely fallen out with Yan Jiu. The so-called "drawing the bow without turning back" will definitely go all the way. The most urgent task is to try to get rid of Yan Ao and not let their father and daughter contact. According to common sense, after Yan Ao entered the city, ten ** will contact the senior management of Lianzhu Gang and mobilize his disciples to protect his own safety. If nothing unexpected happens, someone will inform Yan Si.

Hu Xiaotian thought of lightning. If he was Yan Si, he would not take the initiative to bear the reputation of killing Yan Ao no matter what. The most ideal and effective way is undoubtedly to kill people with a knife! The city is full of masters, and everyone covets the holy objects of the Demon Sect. As long as Yan Ao’s hiding place is announced, will he still worry that no one will do it for him? A generation of heroes, both internal and external, are in danger of their lives!
