Twenty Nine: Iron Tree Silver Flower
Within half an hour, people fleeing from all over the Xu Mansion poured into the Wave Courtyard.
The Wave Courtyard, which originally occupied a very large area, was packed with people including the hand-painted verandah, rockery verandah, forest pavilion, grassland, and flower garden.
At a glance, there were three to four hundred people, including more than a thousand people in the Xu family. Most of them were buried in the sea of fire outside.
At this time, from time to time, shouts of murder could be heard from the side courtyards surrounding the Wave Courtyard.
On the second floor of an attic building in the Xu Mansion, a man wrapped in a black cloak stared at the Wave Courtyard with a pair of blood-red eyes.
"Why can't you rush in? The soldiers and people from Diaoyutai have already rushed into Xu's mansion. If you can't take Xu Fan's head off, you won't survive."
In Baoxia, all the Yin Yang Sect disciples looked pale.
It's not that they don't want to rush into the Wave Garden, but they really can't.
"Master Lu, Xu Fan's cultivation is too high, and there is no way for us to avoid the gourd in his hand. As long as we are hit by the gourd, our brothers will not be able to survive."
"Moreover, that bitch Bai Luohe is also in Botaoting. Many of our brothers died in her hands."
The man under the black cloak, with bloodshot eyes and heart-breaking words, said angrily, "I don't care what method you use, everyone in the Wave Court must die tonight. We must not fail."
Lu Jia suddenly died in the Wave Court, Lu Feibai has lost his backer in the Yin and Yang Sect, and the Lu family will not let him go.
Nowadays, only by completely completing the tasks assigned by the sect can he regain the importance of the family.
Soon, nearly a hundred men in black gathered in the side courtyard around the Wave Courtyard. They held powerful bows and giant crossbows and fired continuously into the Wave Courtyard.
Since he couldn't face Xu Fan face to face, he could only adopt the human sea tactic.
The arrows rushed into the Wave Garden with firelight, and there was another scream.
Many people in the Xu family who were in the open air in the courtyard or by the lake were pierced by the first wave of arrows and died on the spot.
There was a commotion in the Wave Court, and many people began to rush towards the dense forest by the lake and the attic on the island in the middle of the lake, trying to avoid the arrows shot in from outside the courtyard.
In less than half an hour, everything outside the central island of Botaoting Lake was plunged into a sea of fire, with firelight and waterlight intertwined in this miserable night.
The attic on the island in the center of the lake and around it were crowded with people from the Xu family.
Xu Wenshu, Xu Yuhui and their wives and daughters were all hiding in the inner hall on the second floor. The doors and windows were already piled with tables, chairs and benches to block the occasional arrows.
The people in Xu's front yard, side yard, mansion soldiers and Diaoyutai have already rushed into the sea of fire, but it is very difficult to rush in again.
A sea of fire blocked their way forward.
"Master Baihu."
A silver-patterned fish bag looked at the sea of fire in front of him, his eyebrows furrowed, and he turned back to ask Lu Baishan, who was standing outside the main entrance of Xu Mansion, for instructions.
Lu Baishan glanced at Wen Hao, who was wearing a Confucian robe beside him, and asked, "Mr. Wen, we can't rush into the Xu Mansion to capture the Yin Yang Gate rebels for a while, so we have to put out the fire first."
There was a "bang" sound.
The plaque hanging on the main entrance of Xu Mansion fell to the ground, stained with blood and dust, which was in great contrast with the glory of Xu Mansion in the past.
Wen Hao nodded slightly and walked towards the street across the street. He came to the neatly dressed Wang Wenhua and other government officials and cupped his hands, "Sir, now we can only put out the fire in Xu Mansion first. Otherwise, Lu Baihu will
The soldiers I brought with me couldn't rush in at all."
All the officials in the Guangling Mansion could only look at each other. The huge Xu Mansion and the famous Jiangnan family were destroyed in a fire, and they could only sigh.
"These traitors from the Yin and Yang Sect are so abominable!"
"Send someone to put out the fire first, don't hesitate any longer!"
At this moment, no one blamed the Diaoyutai people for blocking the street patrol officers and city defense camp officers. Everyone rushed forward, and gravel, water trucks, and buckets were borrowed from the major mansions around the Xu Mansion.
Xu Fan stood by the lakeside, looking at the devastated Xu Mansion and the corpses everywhere under his feet.
He couldn't understand that this was Jiangnan Road, the richest place in Daqian, and they actually dared to massacre the entire Xu family in Guangling City.
After leaving Daqian in his previous life and starting to practice, Xu Fan devoted himself to seclusion and only wanted to live forever.
I have never seen such a bloody and cruel scene.
Now, watching the people in the mansion die in pieces in front of his eyes, there are still many people who were recruited into Xu Mansion by himself.
He looked down at a three- or four-year-old baby at his feet, with blood still pouring from his mouth.
He lowered his body and touched the baby's eyes with his hands, not daring to look at the baby's open eyes, which were clear and watery. He still didn't know what death was.
He only felt the pain of the human world, and he died in Xu Mansion.
Xu Fan didn't know who the baby's parents were, but he believed that the baby's parents must have been very happy to be able to enter the Xu Mansion before.
They and their babies no longer have to worry about not having enough to eat or clothing to wear.
Unknowingly, two lines of tears overflowed from Xu Fan's eyes, slid down his cheeks, and dripped on the burning grass at his feet.
Xu Fan looked at the rain of arrows that were still gathering, and walked slowly towards the side courtyard.
At this time, he didn't want to endure it anymore, nor did he want to wait.
He was really angry and wanted to lift the darkness that shrouded his head.
The next moment, Xu Fan stood up, untied the old gourd from his waist, and drank several sips of wine in a row. A large amount of wine even dripped from the corners of his lips onto his robe, leaving several wine stains.
Looking at the approaching arrows and flames, Xu Fan sprayed a mouthful of wine towards the sky.
Countless pellets of wine rushed into the sky, into a shower of arrows.
The wine turned into wine mist in the void, and every wine drop in the wine mist revealed a faint stream of light.
"Boom boom boom~boom boom boom~boom boom boom~"
In the void, there are iron trees and silver flowers, sparks are bursting out all over the sky, and arrows are constantly exploding in the dark night sky.
Xu Fan's figure kept flashing, and countless afterimages appeared, surrounding the attic on the island in the middle of the lake.
Everyone in the attic secretly looked at the wonderful scenery outside the window, which was as brilliant as the fireworks in the sky at the end of the year.
In this way, Xu Fan kept spitting out drink after drink, and the arrows shot in from the outside kept exploding in the void.
"Fireworks" in mid-air kept appearing and disappearing in everyone's eyes.
Everyone in the attic, whether it was Xu Ji, Xu Xiang, Xu Wenshu, Xu Yuhui, his wife and children, or servants of the Xu family like Zi'er, their eyes were fixed on the "fireworks" in the air.
Every time Iron Tree Silver Flower appears in the void, their hearts will tremble.
Every time the fireworks disappeared, their hearts would twist. Everyone was worried about the young man in plain white robes outside the pavilion.
Under the verandah outside the main hall on the first floor, Bai Luohe, who was wearing a white dress, was shocked when she saw such a shocking "fireworks" scenery in front of her.
There was always a moment when the arrows were shot. The masked man in black standing in the courtyard around the Wave Court looked at the figure by the lake. The fear in his heart became more and more intense, and his arms holding the crossbow were trembling.
If Lu Feibai and a group of cronies weren't watching from behind, they might have started to flee early in the morning.
At first, Lu Feibai was still betting. He didn't believe that Xu Fan could avoid the rain of arrows by himself.
Nearly a hundred monks, holding powerful bows and giant crossbows in both arms, fired at the Wave Court indiscriminately, and they would definitely turn Xu Fan into a hedgehog.
However, after half a stick of incense, the fire in the outer courtyard of the Xu Mansion was almost extinguished by the soldiers brought by Lu Baishan, but they failed to complete the task.
"Helmsman, helmsman!"
Two close colleagues beside Lu Feibai whispered.
"What's wrong?"
Only then did Lu Feibai wake up from his panic.
"Captain, retreat. If we don't leave, we won't be able to leave! The government officials will rush over soon!"
In the distance, one could faintly hear the approaching soldiers and masters from Diaoyutai. Although they were moving very slowly and focused mainly on putting out the fire, there was always a moment when they could arrive.
What's more, at this moment, Lu Feibai looked at the young man on the other side of Botao Lake, feeling fearful and even nightmare-like in his heart.
Just when Lu Feibai waved his hand to signal everyone to retreat, a red light flashed across his eyes.
His eyes widened, watching the red light streaking around the high walls around the Wave Courtyard.
Less than three breaths!
Lu Feibai's eyes showed despair, and he watched helplessly as many Yin-Yang Sect disciples on the high wall fell to the ground and kept falling.
Everyone, including the two cronies standing in front of Lu Feibai, were talking to him one moment, but lost their lives the next moment.
"How is this possible! A monk who is less than twenty years old! How terrifying is his strength!"
Lu Feibai swallowed his saliva, and his whole body seemed to be nailed to the spot, standing in a daze until a snow-white silhouette appeared and kicked him off the high wall.
A "thump" sound!
Lu Feibai fell into the cold wave lake and woke up.
Looking back on everything that happened before, his uncle Lu Jia died, and all the disciples of the Yin Yang Sect in Jiangnan Road were monks. The Yin Yang Sect had worked hard to train them for several years, and now they all died in the Xu Mansion.
Bai Luohe carried Lu Feibai, who had become a drowned rat, and dropped it beside Xu Fan, throwing it away.
"He is the helmsman of the Yin-Yang Sect in Guangling. The previous one was my master, the protector of the Yin-Yang Sect, and also his uncle."
Bai Luohe, who usually showed no emotion at all, was also affected by his current state of mind, with a hint of sadness in his cold voice.
The cool breeze by the lake was filled with blood, and noisy footsteps and shouts could be clearly heard in the distance.
"What should we do next?"
Xu Fan knew what Bai Luohe meant. Since Lu Baishan from Diaoyutai and the Yin-Yang Sect were in cahoots with each other, they were not necessarily here to save the Xu family.
The Yin and Yang Sect can arrange this massacre, and if it fails, they may arrange another one.
Xu Fan looked at Lu Feibai, who was trembling at his feet, and said in an indifferent voice, "Keep this person here for now. He is a helmsman of the Yin and Yang Sect. He must know a lot of things."
"What do you want to do?" Bai Luohe turned his head slightly, looked at Xu Fan's stern face, and asked worriedly.
Although she didn't know why Xu Fan wanted to keep Lu Feibai, if it was according to her idea, it would be best to kill Lu Feibai directly to avoid future troubles.
"You help me keep an eye on him first."
Xu Fan only left one sentence and walked straight out of the Wave Court.
Not far away, outside the collapsed courtyard wall, a group of government soldiers could be vaguely seen. They were holding buckets in their hands and dragging a water tanker behind them, and they were working hard towards the direction of Wave Court.
Chapter completed!
