The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 501

The sky was gray.

The sound of the rain was pattering, but it was much quieter.

Inside the dilapidated and cramped stone house, the light was dim.

Except for a few irregular shallow pits, there are only four walls, and it is difficult to tell what it was originally used for.

Not just this stone house, but the whole Qili Kiln.

Since being abandoned, they have been deprived of life and will only be slowly forgotten.

A thing without life is a dead thing.

Now there are two "dead things" added to this dead thing.

These two "dead objects" leaned against the wall and sat on the ground, motionless, as if they had melted into the darkness, as if they were one with the whole stone house.

Only a few wisps of warmth and three imperceptible breaths in the room can prove that these two "dead objects" are not "dead objects".

But three real people.

The three are Ning Kuang from Tingyu Pavilion, and Niu Kelian and Xiaohua, the objects he and his companions need to protect during this trip.

Some of his companions are already dead, and some are still fighting the enemy.

Xiao Hua nestled in Niu Kelian's thick and warm arms.

Although the rain in late spring was still a bit chilly, it was not as chilling as what happened today.

Therefore, even if he could hide in the arms of the person beside him, those watery and sparkling eyes didn't seem to get any comfort, they were always blinking uneasily, and more often they always looked in one direction.

In that direction, the "coach driver" who sat paralyzed and drove the horses and horses for them all night.

The "driver" Ning Kuang, at the age of [-], is already a big man, but he likes to bicker with others like an old child.

In fact, Xiaohua can understand that these brothers and sisters are playing around in different ways, just to make her feel that the journey is boring.

Like this time, they need to be quiet.

Ning Kuang is the quietest of the three, and even the most dead.

Both Niu Kelian and Xiaohua curled up slightly, but he was paralyzed by the wall as if his whole body was torn apart.

However, among the three of them, it was he who made some "big noise" from time to time.

From time to time, he would clench his teeth and make some fine grinding noises.

From time to time, there was a sudden heavy and short panting sound.

Fortunately, as he spread his limbs completely, the temperature of his whole body gradually dropped, and he made less and less noise.

Fortunately, the sound of rain was enough to drown out his "big movements".

Insignificant compared to the strong wind that whines through the broken corner of the house.

Just like this small and dilapidated stone house, it should have been insignificant and inconspicuous in the Qili Kiln.

No one would choose to hide in such an uncomfortable hiding place.

But those two footsteps stopped outside the house.

Not long after, five or six footsteps approached, and they also stopped outside the stone house.

Hearing movement outside the house, Niu Kelian sighed.

Slowly pushed Xiao Hua in his arms to sit aside, and patted her on the back gently twice, teaching her not to worry.

A woman's voice sounded outside the house at the right time.

"General Niu, why bother?"

"The lord in You Jing is just asking you to go back, not asking for your life."

"He said, if you don't like blowing the sea breeze in Jinzhou City, he can arrange a good place for you in Youjing City, and he also promises to entertain you and your good girl with rich clothes and fine food, why hide in Tibet , and still hide in this place where there are no ghosts?"

"It's a rainy day, and the whole body is covered with mud and water. It's not easy for anyone to change. It's not too late. Come back to town with us, wash well, and sleep comfortably. Tomorrow we will How about setting off to return to Youjing?"

Without any accident, the first two people to stop outside the shabby stone house were Weaver Girl and Cowherd.

The six people who came later were "that group" who were driven away by Jiang Yichen, and the 18 people were divided into six groups to search for the traces of the Niu family's father and daughter.

"That group of people" was originally trained by the court, and Zhinu and Niulang should have been invited by the court.

As for the power under the imperial court, it is not yet known.

"Noisy!"

Ning Kuang swung his right fist and beat on his leg, trying to wake up his already numb limbs as soon as possible.

He's going to get back up and fight.

But he didn't know that his fist didn't have much strength, and he didn't know that his voice was so small that it couldn't reach outside the house.

Niu Kelian stood up, waved his hand at him, and opened the thin wooden door.

Before walking out the door, Niu Kelian glanced at Xiaohua again.

Xiaohua didn't make a sound, her eyes were extremely bright in the darkness telling Niu Kelian that she believed in him.

It's just that the worry in my heart still caused tears to flow down.

"General, general..." Ning Kuang still wanted to persuade Niu Kelian.

Niu Kelian only returned a full smile from the two people in the room, then walked out of the stone room and closed the wooden door again.

Looking at the battle outside the stone house, Niu Kelian was silent for a while.

Compared with the so-called Weaver Girl Cowherd, he was more interested in the six black-clothed masked men holding strange weapons, so he took a second look.

After all, the Weaver Girl Cowherd is from the Jianghu, but these six people are the real minions of the imperial court.

Can the various ills and wounds left by the three years of barbarian wars be repaired in less than 20 years?

No, Niu Kelian doesn't think so.

But under such circumstances, there are still people in the imperial court who are interested in cultivating such forces to disrupt the balance of the entire Zhongzhou martial arts.

Sure enough, quite a few people in the imperial court are not at ease now!

Niu Kelian turned his gaze back to Zhinu.

The rain made the black long skirt cling tightly to Zhinu's body, but that figure without twists and waves could only be regarded as four words.

--skinny.

But it is undeniable that this forty-year-old woman is tall enough, not much better than Niu Kelian.

As for the person behind Zhinu, even though his body is bowed and his hands seem to be hanging on the ground, he is still a head taller than Zhinu.

The giant man's eyes were dull, but as long as he stood there, he felt like a mountain was pressing on his chest.

From Ning Kuang's mouth, I learned that the giant man is a fool. He was rescued by Zhinu when he was young, and gradually grew into her thug.

Zhinu and Cowherd, only Zhinu can be listed as the fourteen villains, because Cowherd is useless without Zhinu and will be slaughtered.

At that time, idlers ranked the strength of the fourteen villains, and Zhinu ranked third because the Cowherd was always by his side.

Ning Kuang also said that the fourteen villains are all eccentric, and few of them can be moved.

Niu Kelian didn't think so, the fourteen villains are human after all.

People have the seven emotions and six desires, and they have various interests and needs. As long as they do what they like, they promise to make great profits, especially if they ask ghosts to push them.

Now it seems that his judgment is good.

It's just that he was also a little curious about who and what kind of promise they made to invite this pair of villains.

So Niu Kelian asked: "I wonder which adult has the thought to invite me, a mediocre man, to enjoy the wealth and glory?"

Zhinu said: "There is an unwritten rule in Jianghu that you don't betray the identity of your employer casually. The general will know as soon as I go to Youjing."

Niu Kelian asked another question: "What good did that lord promise you?"

Zhinu didn't intend to hide it this time, and said bluntly: "My family Alang contracted a strange disease last year, and he searched many places but failed to cure it. The adult just had a pill in his hand, and he shared half of it with my family Alang to take it. It's getting better, after careful inspection, there are no other side effects for the time being. For the remaining half of the pill, I have to ask the general to come with us no matter what."

"So that's how it is." Niu Kelian understood it, and immediately said, "The place Niu went to this trip is the Lingnan Medicine Valley. It is said that the medicine valley's medical skills are second to none in the rivers and lakes. You might as well take your family with me. Yaogu, let the old man do a detailed diagnosis, Moin delayed the treatment because of a mere pill."

"It's kind of interesting. I didn't expect that a general who wanted to lead troops to fight would also be an eloquent person. However, not everyone can get to the Medicine Valley, and not everyone can cure the old man. To bet on the uncertain If you don’t count, it’s better to go and get half of what you’ve eaten.”

The conversation was interrupted by a man in a yellow shirt and a black crown who appeared on the opposite eaves at some point, which also extinguished Niu Kelian's idea of ​​persuading Zhinu.

As soon as the words fell, the weapons of the six men in black greeted him.

After a jingling sound, the man in the yellow shirt had retreated to a wall farther away.

The channel in the mouth: "Hold on, hold on!"

Seeing that the man in yellow hadn't drawn his sword, Zhinu patted his hands twice to make the man in black stop his attack.

"Since I was repulsed and all my subordinates were dead, why did you come here?"

"Hehe, those mud that can't support the wall, it's a pity to abandon them. Die here, not only to rectify the family tradition, but also to prove the loyalty, why not do it? I just came here to let others know that I have been to the Yu family. Yu Le has also been here, and he did his best."

"The point is, I'm not interested in knowing the dirty thoughts of your families."

"The mission given to the family is to kill General Niu, but since you want to bring him back, then I'll just watch."

"Look?" Weaver Girl looked back contemptuously, and then stared at a dark corner not far from the stone house, "You came to see it too?"

A figure slowly emerged from a dark corner.

The man had gray hair, was short and thin, and wore a black hood covering the lower half of his face.

Before the short and thin man could speak, Yu Le opened his mouth: "The little girl's blood is so yin, so soft, so pure, so Senior Gu must have come here for the deliciousness."

Gu Ye didn't make a sound, obviously acquiescing to Yu Le's statement.

Yu Le's eyes flashed suddenly, and he said with a smile, "However, I don't know if General Niu is willing to give up his own daughter? Although it's not his own daughter."

Niu Kelian did not answer Yu Le, but the answer was obviously no.

Yu Le asked Zhinu again: "What do senior Zhinu think?"

Zhinu glanced at Cowherd beside her and said, "As long as General Niu refuses to agree, Alang and I will naturally protect his daughter."

Yu Le smiled and said: "It seems that this junior is lucky enough to see the seniors who are ranked third or fourth among the fourteen villains compete tonight."

Zhinu also laughed, and said: "Don't be too happy, little boy, these little soldiers were beaten back by a passer-by swordsman, I think the group of people should have arrived at this time, I don't know if your sword might overwhelm the passer-by swordsman sword?"

A cold light flashed in Yu Le's eyes, and he said, "Is there such a thing?"

As if to confirm Zhinu's statement, the sound of fighting came from far away.
