After a long time, the people in the village came over with lanterns. They saw two men covered in blood lying in the ruins and died tragically. However, Hengshan's qualitative master, Yihe Shitai and six female heroes had already died.
No trace left.
All signs indicate that a fierce battle seemed to have broken out in the darkness just now. All the villagers turned pale with fright and could not help but shudder. The old patriarch said with a sad face: "Hurry... Hide back to my yard.
Go inside, the men are guarding the door with weapons..."
The villagers of Liuwangmiao Village guarded the village tremblingly. They waited all night but were not attacked by gangsters or bandits. Even though some roars, horses neighed and shouted, they disappeared in an instant.
The sky was bright in the east, and in the dense forest on the south bank of the Qiantang River, Zheng Gui, Yi Qing, and Xu Mengqing were walking quickly, all wet.
After rushing out of the ancestral hall, Zheng Gui knocked down another pillar with force, and then the house collapsed. Taking advantage of the smoke and dust, seven women from the Hengshan faction formed a formation to kill the two besieging masters, and then the group took advantage of the chaos to escape.
.
After leaving Liuwangmiao Village, Zheng Gui and Yiqing knew that the pursuers of the Haisha Gang could catch up in no time, so they did not go to the stables to find horses, and headed south, taking advantage of the cover of night to find a small boat to cross the river.
.
Because it was a hazy morning with heavy humidity, everyone's clothes were soaked after crossing the river.
However, because Zheng Gui, Yi Qing and others did not go north to Jiaxing to meet up with Dingyi, and because of the darkness, they were not discovered by the Haisha Gang.
This disrupted the Haisha Gang's siege plan, and there was no need to worry about being caught up by the Haisha Gang's disciples.
Seeing Xu Mengqing and other women shivering from the cold, Zheng Gui frowned and said: "Their internal strength is still weak, it is difficult for them to use energy to steam dry their clothes, and the residual poison on their bodies has not disappeared. If cold and damp enter the body, it may affect the residual poison..."
Yi Qing also frowned and said: "Then find a sheltered place and light a fire to dry your clothes and eat some dry food..."
Both Zheng Gui and Yi Qing knew that as long as there was a fire, it would most likely attract the disciples of the Haisha Gang to investigate, and then the traces of their party would be leaked. However, seeing the faces of several women turning blue, they both knew that they could not wait any longer.
.
After walking hurriedly for a while, they found a dry high place and picked up some firewood to make a fire for warmth. Yiqing took out dry food and water to heat, while Zheng Gui stood guard outside with his sword drawn.
After more than half an hour, most of everyone's clothes had been steamed dry, and after eating some hot food, everyone became energetic.
Xu Mengqing and Liang Qi walked up to Zheng Gui. Xu Mengqing held a bowl of hot soup cakes and whispered: "Uncle, please have a bowl quickly."
Liang Qi blushed and said, "Senior Sister Xu and I are on guard duty."
Zheng Gui took the wooden bowl and accidentally touched Xu Mengqing's fingers, which were cold and smooth.
Xu Mengqing blushed and took half a step back. Zheng Gui silently recited the Heart Sutra to calm down the thoughts in his heart, and ate the puff pastry with peace of mind.
Just as Zheng Gui was taking the steamed pancake into his mouth, suddenly a short arrow flew out and shot into Xu Mengqing's heart.
Xu Mengqing's body fell softly. Liang Qi shouted and turned to look at Zheng Gui.
Zheng Gui threw out the wooden bowl in his hand and knocked down one of the feather arrows. Then he cut off two feather arrows with a swing of his long sword in his right hand.
At this critical moment, Zheng Gui's heart became clear, and he said in a deep voice: "Yi Qing, quickly bring your disciples to join me in formation. The thieves are already chasing us. We have to kill them!"
Yi Qing saw Xu Mengqing, who seemed to have lost his breath after being hit by the arrow, and his face became more and more gloomy. He led four junior sisters to Zheng Gui and Liang Qi. The seven long swords of the seven people shook at the same time. Hengshan Sect Zhen Sect
The seven-man sword formation was immediately formed.
"Whizzing……"
Dozens of flying arrows and hidden weapons came again. At this time, the sword formation was completed. Seven long swords drew arcs at the same time. No matter how many hidden weapons and arrows there were, they could not get close.
Zheng Gui squinted his eyes and looked at the dense forest in the distance and said, "The thieves who attacked us are right there. Please walk faster. We can't let the murderer of Meng Qing escape!"
Speaking of Zheng Gui, he rushed out first, and Yi Qing and the other six people also quickly caught up. In a moment, the seven of them broke into the dense forest and saw more than ten Haisha Gang disciples fleeing in all directions. Zheng Gui felt anxious and couldn't care less about the knot.
In the formation, he used his ten power and jumped up. He moved the long sword in his hand and stabbed two people to death in a flash of cold light.
Seeing that this group of pursuers were not skilled in martial arts, Yi Qing also secretly sighed at Xu Mengqing who died due to a plot, and then said in a deep voice: "Take down all these thieves, and don't let any of them escape!"
A moment later, Zheng Gui killed five of the group of Haisha Gang disciples who were chasing Zheng Gui and others, and the remaining ten or so people were taped on their acupuncture points and tied up in one place.
After Yiqing and Zheng Gui interrogated for a long time, they found out that the Yunwu Chao of the Haisha Gang had mobilized all the disciples in the gang. Most of the disciples were intercepting and killing them in the north of the Yangtze River, while the small group of disciples were searching in the south of the Qiantang River, saying that they wanted to plant the Hengshan Sect in their own territory.
A somersault can also make you famous in the underworld.
As for the Hengshan Sect's revenge after the death of their disciple, the Haisha Gang had already made a plan. All they had to do was shift the blame to the Demon Cult or the Bai Yao Sect, and the Hengshan nuns would be left dumb.
Only then did Zheng Gui understand the dangers and cruelty of Jianghu, and also knew not to be too confident in the reputation of the Five Mountains Sword Sect.
The Hengshan Sect has considerable deterrence in the Central Plains and even the North, but it is only famous in the western and southern Zhejiang areas where its sphere of influence is difficult to reach. Otherwise, how would the Haisha Gang dare to attack them?
Liang Qi and several disciples had already buried Xu Mengqing's body. Their faces were filled with pear blossoms, and Zheng Gui could not help but feel sad.
"Uncle, Senior Sister, what should I do with Senior Sister Xu's body?"
Zheng Gui frowned and said, "Create it on the spot and send the ashes to the Xu family."
After saying that, he looked at the Haisha Gang disciples who were kneeling on the ground, and said with a stern tone: "You kill my Hengshan disciples, and we will be buried together today!"
As he spoke, Zheng Gui shook the long sword in his hand and threw out several sword flowers with cold light.
Yi Qing said anxiously: "Uncle, please be patient..."
Before Yi Qing could finish his words, there were seven or eight screams and groans from the Haisha Gang disciples.
Zheng Gui's hand speed did not slow down at all, and he launched a series of attacks, piercing the vital points of the Haisha Gang disciples. In a moment, more than ten Haisha Gang disciples were killed. The smell of blood immediately made Yi Qing, Liang Qi and other women look embarrassed.
"Uncle, how are you doing?"
Zheng Gui thought of Yun Wuchao's gentle face and the gentle and lovely Xu Mengqing who died tragically in front of him. His chest was filled with anger. This anger made him want to kill more people before he could give up.
He turned his head and wiped away the blood spattered on his face with his sleeves. Zheng Gui's eyes swept across the faces of Yi Qing, Liang Qi and others. No one dared to look directly at him.
Zheng Gui sighed softly and looked at Xu Mengqing, who was lying there not far away as if he was asleep. He remembered that when the two met for the first time, Xu Mengqing keenly discovered that her monk's robe was dirty and she was shy.
He stood behind Yihe and said: "Uncle Master, you might as well change into a robe first, it doesn't matter if we wait..."
Zheng Gui felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, and sighed softly, saying: "Do you think I committed murder in vain? In fact, my Buddhist sect has had a Dharma Protector Vajra since ancient times, which can subdue demons and kill demons. Killing is the most popular, but killing for yourself is a sin.
, killing people for mercy is the Living Buddha Vajra!"
After Zheng Gui said that, he wanted to go to Hangzhou to seek revenge from Yun Wuchao, but he remembered that Yunwuchao had been famous for many years, and his kung fu was still second-rate. In addition, he had a large number of men, so even if he, Yiqing and others were not poisoned, they might not be poisoned.
He is an opponent, not to mention that he is still poisoned.
After frowning and thinking for a moment, Zheng Gui looked at Yi Qing and said, "Do you know where the Sword Forging Valley is?"
Yiqing bowed and said: "Longquan County in southern Zhejiang."
Zheng Gui turned around and said, "Let's go to the Sword Forging Valley and ask for a few swords before we go to Yunwu Chao for revenge!"
