Liaozhai Great Sage

Chapter 403 The Two Gods of Shoushan Genyue
The sound of fighting and killing came from a small road near the capital.

It was a gang of robbers who were killing passing travelers.

"Damn it, I've always been the one who intercepted and killed others. It's really unlucky to be intercepted and killed by others today. This group of robbers are wicked. How did they get the news that we have money on us, so they are willing to send dozens of people to intercept and kill us?" Don't we, don't we know that this is a loss-making business?" A bald man held a hundred-steel-smelting knife and stared viciously at the nearby robbers.

When a robber rushed over, he raised his knife and slashed at him. The robber screamed and fell to the ground without breathing.

"Wu Fei, don't worry about fighting with them, we will rush out to seize the horse, the bandits are strong, we are not opponents." Ma Dong shouted loudly, he also fought with Niu Er with a knife.

The three of them were highly skilled in martial arts, they protected Zhu Yu in the middle, and managed to persevere under the siege of a group of robbers.

On the side, two of the three healthy horses they brought from Jinling City were dead, shot to death by arrows. The robbers had already laid an ambush here, and attacked them while they were resting.

Even so, this group of robbers failed.

Seeing such a brutal fight, Zhu Yu shivered and hid behind Ma Dong and Niu Er, afraid of being stabbed, he kept muttering: "I can't die, I can't die, I can't die."

He knew that he must not be intercepted here.

If he died, who would buy an official for Li Xiuyuan?How can the turmoil in Yangzhou be quelled?

Li Xiuyuan gave up his bright future, gave up all his fame and wealth, and would rather spend all his family wealth and join the military to fight chaos. How could he die here?

Even if you want to die, you have to complete this major event before you die.

"Of course I know how to rush out, but how can so many people rush? These robbers don't even have a horse and we have no chance to seize the horse. If this continues, none of us will be able to get away. Someone must stay behind and hold these bandits back. Let another person rush out with Zhu Yu, we only have one horse left, and it is impossible to leave them all." Wu Fei gritted his teeth.

Ma Dong immediately said: "After Niu Er and I stay and break up, you protect Zhu Yu and go to the capital."

Wu Fei killed a thief, took a few steps back and said, "If you think about it clearly, you will die if you break it."

"If you die, you will die. Didn't the young master always say that you should be a hero in life and a ghost in death? Tieshan dared to protect the young master and die under the black tiger's mouth. Why don't the two of us dare to die for the young master today? Now It's time for us to repay our favor with death, Wu Fei, your martial arts are better than ours, you have a better chance of protecting Zhu Yu and rushing out, hurry up." Niu Er also shouted.

"Damn it, hold on first. After I send Zhu Yu away, I will immediately turn around and save you." Wu Fei gritted his teeth, grabbed Zhu Yu who was next to him, and ran off with his horse.

The nearby bandits approached and attacked, Ma Dong and Niu Er desperately resisted, stubbornly resisted the attack of these bandits, were cut several times on their bodies and did not take a step back, they knew that this mission was very important, Zhu Yu must be let Live to go to the capital,
Wu Fei rushed out on a healthy horse to protect Zhu Yu, ignoring the two brothers behind him.

He knew that he couldn't have the slightest hesitation, otherwise he would be left behind.

When the fighting was fierce here, a gust of wind howled outside the nearby hill, and a dark cloud in the sky wanted to fly over the hill, but it was stopped by the hill.

A small hill actually blocked the dark clouds in the sky.

In the dark clouds, the dark wind howled, figures and soldiers were looming, not living people, they were all ghosts and gods. At this moment, the sword-wielding ghost king was hiding in the dark clouds with two swords in his hand and hundreds of dark soldiers under his command.

The sword-wielding ghost king shouted angrily; "I am the sword-wielding ghost king under the command of a sage in the world, why do you two mountain gods block my way?"

He looked at the fight not far away, and he was furious. This is the guard beside the sage on earth, and protecting Zhu Yu is going to the capital to do important things. If something goes wrong here, how can the sage on earth be angry? Got it.

However, when he was about to cast spells to help, he was stopped by two mountain gods in front of him.
A mountain god is wearing a gorgeous white armor and a helmet, and the mask cannot tell the face, and the other mountain god is wearing the yellow armor, and the golden mask is also invisible.

"Presumptuous, you are the king of ghosts in the south. Wouldn't letting ghosts like you enter the capital disturb the safety of the Holy One? We are the gods of Shoushan Mountain and Genyue Mountain who were personally appointed by the emperor of Song Dynasty. Our duty is to guard the capital and take care of you. Whether it is a ghost under the command of a sage on earth or under the command of the Heavenly Palace, without His Majesty's imperial decree, no ghost or god can enter the capital."

The white-armored Shoushan Mountain God shouted loudly, the sound was like thunder, and the nearby area was shaken by strong winds.

They are mountain gods enshrined by the imperial court. They are all loyal generals in front of them, and they will also protect the safety of the country after death. Whether they are saints on earth, heavenly palaces, or ghosts and gods sent from the underworld, as long as there is no imperial edict, oral instructions will not Was put into the capital.

"You two mountain gods are really stupid and hopeless. Human saints came to the world to save the world and save the people, but you stopped me for the safety of the capital. Don't you know the consequences of this matter? Don't think that human saints are weak and easy to bully, he If I knew that you two mountain gods broke things, I would never forgive you."

The sword-wielding ghost king glared at the two mountain gods angrily: "Don't let the road go?"

After speaking, he rushed over with the Yin soldiers again.

"Ignoring the majesty of the imperial court, even the ghost king should be killed. What is a saint in the world? Can he compare with the current majesty?"

The mountain god Gen Yue shouted, and charged at him with a huge sword in his hand, and slashed at him with the sword raised.

His sword is three feet long, with two large characters engraved on it: Zhenshan.

This is the Zhenshan sword specially ordered by the emperor of the Song Dynasty when they were granted the title of mountain god. There is also the golden seal of the imperial court on it, which represents the majesty of the dynasty. It can shock and kill all monsters, ghosts and snakes. The ghosts and gods are eligible to use.

A sword was slashed, and the sword-wielding ghost king rushed to parry, but the two swords in his hands were cut by the three-foot-long sword like paper, and immediately broke with a click, and then the sword pierced into his body. In the process, the ghost king's body was directly cut into two sections.

Half of the body turned into a cloud of Yin Qi and incense and exploded on the spot, and the remaining half of the body recondensed and turned into the sword-wielding ghost king again.

"What a powerful magic weapon. I'm no match for them. Let's go." The ghost king with the sword turned pale in shock, and hurriedly rolled up the Yin soldiers behind him and retreated quickly.

He couldn't even take a move, even if he wanted to be loyal, there was nothing he could do.

If the two mountain gods attack together, he will surely die.

"You ghost king escaped quickly."

Shoushan Mountain God and Genyue Mountain God didn't chase the ghost king when they saw him slip away. Their mission was to protect the safety of the capital, and other things had nothing to do with him.

Seeing the cloud of yin and incense left by the ghost king, the two mountain gods opened their mouths and inhaled again, swallowed it into their stomachs, and then hiccupped, as if they were already full, and their bodies became healthier than before. Big and strong.

They are also ghosts and gods, and these are supplements for them.

And don't you hear the story of Zhong Kui eating evil spirits?
Why do you want to eat evil spirits? In addition to eliminating evil spirits, you are also increasing your own morality.

However, eating ghosts and gods to increase Taoism is not tolerated. The Heavenly Palace will not allow it, and Yama of the Underworld will not allow it. However, the Heavenly Palace and the Underworld are in chaos right now, and these two mountain gods have no scruples at all relying on the existence of the court.

Without the protection of these two mountain gods, the injured sword-wielding ghost king could only stay outside the boundary of the capital with his Yin soldiers, and had no way to escort Ma Dong, Niu Er and the others.

"Zhu Yu, I will send you here. This is the official road. There are travelers going to and from the capital on the road. It is impossible for there to be robbers. As long as you follow this road, you can go to the capital. After the matter is settled, go to the Shunfeng Escort Bureau and show the official seal and documents to the head of the bodyguard, and the head of the bodyguard will naturally escort you back to Jinling City, and I will go back to rescue Ma Dong, Niu Er and the others."

At this moment, Wu Fei rode a healthy horse to the avenue, turned and left as soon as he put Zhu Yu down, and rode away quickly on a healthy horse.

Zhu Yu collected himself and shouted to Wu Fei who was going away; "Be careful."

After speaking, he bowed to the distance again.

He knew that this time the guards around Brother Li were in danger.

"Li Xiuyuan, don't worry, I will definitely handle this matter well, and I will never let you down." Zhu Yu gritted his teeth and said solemnly, touched the package on his chest, and resolutely left for the capital.

"Li Xiuyuan? Oh, you scholar is Li Xiuyuan's friend?"

On the official road, a middle-aged man who was walking towards him couldn't help asking a question when he heard Zhu Yu's words.

"You, who are you?" Zhu Yu suddenly became vigilant, covered his heart, and stared at him vigilantly.

"You don't need to be nervous. My name is Xia Houwu. I'm a swordsman and ranger. A few days ago, I chopped off the head of a bandit and just got a reward from the six gates of the capital. Li Xiuyuan is my benefactor. He once saved my life. , When I passed by today, I mentioned that you mentioned his name, so I asked one more question." The middle-aged man named Xia Houwu said.

"Are you that defeated swordsman who competed with Yan Chixia for seven or eight years, but couldn't beat Yan Chixia once? Xiaosheng heard Ning Caichen mention it." Zhu Yu said.

"." The corner of Xia Houwu's mouth twitched.

A defeated swordsman?

When did I have such an extra name, and even scholars knew about my loss to Yan Chixia.

If she doesn't win against Yan Chixia, she's afraid that she will be infamous forever.

"You're a boring scholar, so you're not as straightforward as Li Xiuyuan. I won't talk to you anymore. I'm going to find Yan Chixia for a sword competition. I won't be with you anymore. I'm leaving." Xia Houwu glared at him and wanted to leave.

But Zhu Yu hastily grabbed his arm and said, "Xia Houwu, you can't go, there is a life-threatening matter, and it's time for you to repay Brother Li."

"What is the urgent matter?" Xia Houwu asked.
