The Legend of Swing Sword and Execution of Demons

Chapter 57

In the dark night before dawn, everything was silent. The four scoundrels who were on duty to guard the gate of the village didn’t make many mental gags. Instead, they were leaning against the wall or door, squinting and taking a nap. The idiots won't make trouble at this time.

Of course, within a moment, the four minions lost their breath one after another. They were not annoyed that they could not see the dawn and were relieved, but they were angry that they died without having a good dream tonight.

"Young heroes, don't be merciful. You save their lives at this time. If we escape in a hurry, they will definitely not show mercy. In the rivers and lakes, you can't help yourself. If you don't kill people, people will kill you, but you won't be able to escape. Open, you can’t hide, in order to survive, you still have to kill people.” Zhang San found that Jiang Yichen had just fainted, so he stepped forward to make up his hands, and heard a creaking sound, apparently his neck was twisted, and he followed suit. And softly correcting to, just stepped through the door.

Situ Zhong also nodded at Jiang Yichen, indicating "the boss is right", and hurriedly followed the pace of Zhang San.

Seeing this, Jiang Yichen sighed and smiled, not daring to neglect, and followed closely.

The rustling footsteps are falling in autumn, and the rustling background sound is obviously not enough to attract attention, which is alarming. At least for now, these bandits in the village have not been disturbed by the three people. As for those who The languid night watchmen did not make any noise, made any struggle, and went to report to Hades.

The time is one of the reasons why the guards of the villa are so slack, but the three of them are [-]% sure that Pao Bing will not return to the villa, so the vigilance in the villa has not been raised, and they have not encountered any resistance, which can be said to be like a duck in water.

"Going around, I'm afraid we are still outside the villa."

"Well, I'm afraid that there are no clues here, so I have to look inside."

"Then go inside."

"Can you go in there?"

"No, since it's here, let's find out."

"Okay, listen to you."

Zhang San and Situ Zhong's simple conversation with you and Situ Zhong kept following behind, circling round and round, and the sleepy Jiang Yichen teased him a little.

Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy is the only way to be safe in a hundred battles, but the specific layout of the villa is not clear. Those vigilantes were silently dealt with, and then there was no more text, and it was difficult to make progress.

The three of them quickly walked through the courtyards in the villa. These courtyards were all of general appearance, with four walls, a wing next to one side, a corridor next to the wing, and the hanging flower doors on the left and right and back of the courtyard connecting to other courtyards. In the first courtyard behind the gate of the village, there are hanging flower doors on the front, rear, left, right and four sides. The remaining courtyards are not easy to distinguish in the night. The three of them can only rely on the vigilant lying on the ground, which can also be called corpses. , as a reference to distinguish the various courtyards it passes through.

Gradually, they discovered that this place was like a labyrinth, and after passing through several courtyards, they would all return to the place they passed before.

It was early white in the east and dawn was approaching. Situ Zhong couldn’t help but feel a little anxious. He jumped up the fence of the courtyard to observe, or stood on the top of the eaves of the wing house and looked far into the distance. Perhaps there was insufficient light and no harvest.

The three of them concluded that the layout of the villa was strange, which kept them spinning around. The three of them decided to carefully walk through these courtyards one by one, trying to find the pattern.

"One", "Two", "Three", "Four", "Five", "One", "Two", "Six", "Seven", "Eight", "Three"...

"This, it's back to where it was." Jiang Yichen said.

"That's right, what I remember is also the courtyard one." Zhang San affirmed.

"Cough cough, although I really want to praise you for not remembering the confusion, but courtyard one is the only one with doorways on all sides, do you still need to remember it?" Situ Zhong looked embarrassed. .

The three of them numbered the courtyards they saw in sequence, and each memorized the order in which they entered the courtyards. In the end, they found that they were still a mess with no rules. The only thing that was certain was that they passed through eight. A courtyard.

"Eight, should we go out in the order of gossip?" Jiang Yichen remembered that this place used to be the alchemy villa in Wudang. The layout of the villa should be consistent with Taiji gossip, and the five-element chess pieces hanging in the Wudang secret cave should follow the five-element The secret door can only be opened by stepping on it in sequence, and the same is true here.

"After so many trips, we have walked in the numbered order, in reverse order, clockwise, and counterclockwise, but there is not necessarily any change?" Situ Zhong disagreed.

"The gossip array, I have heard of the nine palace gossip array used for marching and fighting. In this case, this number is made up by ourselves. To be accurate, we need to distinguish which courtyard is the Qianyuan and which is the Duiyuan. Find out the real order..." Zhang San scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks, as if he had racked his brains, "No, no, it's still difficult to explain, in terms of order, each gossip corresponds to a palace, which corresponds to a courtyard. There is a middle palace, that is, nine courtyards. We have walked so many times, and it is true that there are only eight courtyards, so where is the other courtyard?"

Zhangsan had only a limited understanding of the gossip. After a rough analysis, he could only throw the problem back to the two of them. However, Jiang Yichen and Situ Zhong were also confused.

"It seems that the missing Central Palace is our destination." Situ Zhong seemed to have realized something, squinted and nodded, very sure of his own thoughts.

"How do you know that it is the Central Palace that is missing, not the other gossip courtyards." Zhang San disagreed with Situ Zhong's thoughtless reply.

Situ Zhong also had no basis and no evidence. He was just guessing. When he was questioned, it would be difficult to find a reason for it, so he didn't bother to talk anymore.

The three of them came in high spirits, but they were trapped by the layout of Danxia Villa, and their mood couldn't help but feel a little down.

Seeing this scene, Zhang San also felt that his decision was too rash, but now it is difficult to travel deep into the villa.

"Let's find a corner to rest for a while." Zhang San said helplessly, Jiang Yichen and Situ Zhong also had no objection, and the three of them hid in the back of the courtyard and rested against the wall.

The sky was turning white, and the three of them still made no progress. Finally, a few panicked shouts broke the silence of the villa.

"There are assassins!"

"Come on, there are assassins!"

"A thief has sneaked into the villa, everyone, get up and arrest them!"

Soon, the group of bandits in Danxia Villa showed their disciplined side. In the courtyard where Jiang Yichen and the three were located, although the group of thugs were sparse, they were all fully armed after they walked out of the wing. It didn't take a moment for him to devote his full attention to the search for the assassin who had broken into the village and obliterated his companions in the night watch.

As for why Jiang Yichen and the three were so aware of the whereabouts of this group of rogues, it turned out that they had already seized the opportunity, taking advantage of the time difference and hiding in the wing.

"It seems that these guys have to search for a while, or should we take a break here?"

Situ Zhong's proposal this time did not receive a response, but it was clearly recognized by the public. I saw that Jiang Yichen and Zhang San had already picked a good position on the Chase shop and lay down with their eyes closed.

The corner of Situ Zhong's mouth twitched, but he didn't have the strength to have a seizure. It was the right thing to seize this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to keep his spirits up. After running around all night, he was really exhausted.

Compared with the quietness and warmth in the house, the outside of the wing was very lively. Not only the courtyard where Jiang Yichen and the three were located, but also the eight surrounding courtyards of Danxia Villa were all boiling because of the three people's masterpieces last night.

Each of the eight outer courtyards of Danxia Villa has eight courtyard chiefs presiding over the overall situation.

Overnight, the eight courtyards were visited by gangsters, and none of the four night guards in each courtyard survived, and the four gatekeepers at the village gate were not spared either. Show mercy.Fortunately, there was no abnormality in Neizhuang, otherwise, the heads of the eight of them would have to be handed over to the bosses of Neizhuang.

"Check! Check it out for me! Don't let go of every corner!" The courtyard of the Ganyuan grew up Biao, the head of the eight principals. He was born with a strong back, black skin and round face, and with a beard all over his face, he looked fierce. At this moment, his eyes widened in anger, and he threw the table and roared.

Even if the other seven chiefs of the courtyard did not receive this order, they ordered everyone to do so. At this time, there was no need to touch the bad head of the first courtyard. I still decided to ask the lord in Neizhuang for instructions and ask him what he had in mind.

The chickens and dogs outside have been jumping for a stick of incense, and the three people in the wing have fallen asleep unconsciously.

Suddenly, he felt someone tap his cheek, and Jiang Yichen was woken up from his sweet dream. With sleepy eyes, he seemed to see a black shadow in front of him. Immediately, he slid his fingers out of the sheath and stabbed at the man's neck.
