After the stone gate fell, Qinghe and others fell into darkness. Soon after, there was a rockfall in the underground palace. In order to fight for their way out, some bandits who were greedy for life actually fought each other on the spot. Some even used knives. Even Qinghe could not control the situation.
.
"Master, that old thief Diao Ruxiao must have pressed some powerful mechanism. Looking at this trend, the underground palace will collapse soon. Let's go back the way we came!"
A bandit suggested to Qinghe.
Qinghe observed the situation and thought that the bandit was right, so he opened the door of the main secret room and planned to return from the corridor. He took a few close followers with him, but others did not pay much attention.
The situation in the corridor was also chaotic. Falling rocks killed some bandits on the spot, and some of them were implemented to activate the remaining mechanisms. Suddenly crossbows, traps, and various mechanisms appeared, reducing most of the bandits. Finally, he and Qinghe walked out together.
There were less than 6 bandits, and every one of them was defeated. One bandit was the most seriously injured, and his leg was broken by a huge stone in the underground palace.
He thought that when he came with 30 elite men, he thought he could easily capture the "Dun Jia Tian Shu". Unexpectedly, he didn't even touch the hair of "Dun Jia Tian Shu" and almost wiped out the whole army. He hit the surrounding stones with one palm.
I saw cracks in the stone.
"Go and notify Hu Baxian and the others, and lead the others back to Qingshui Village to rest!"
Qinghe ordered a bandit to run down the mountain quickly, and he took the rest of the group to retreat to Qingshui Village towards the east gate of Daoxiang Village.
At this time, the underground palace has been torn apart because the destruction device was triggered. Since the underground palace is located deep in the mountain behind the mountain, after the destruction of the underground palace, a small earthquake occurred in Daoxiang Village, and some landslides also occurred in the direction of the back mountain. All of this made the originally beautiful scenery
Daoxiang Village is riddled with holes.
It is said that after Yu Yi pressed the secret passage mechanism, he did not encounter anyone else inside. When he appeared, it was already a night, the surrounding air was very humid, and his lower body was submerged under the water. According to what Diao Ruxiao said
, it should be in the direction of the secret passage leading to the lake west of Daoxiang Village.
Yu Yi looked around and found that there were no bandits around. At this time, he was very anxious and didn't know how Diao Xue was doing at the moment. He ignored the mud and moisture on his body and dragged the smelly water all over his body to Diao Ruxiao's residence.
go.
Halfway through, Yu Yi found that he seemed to have forgotten something. After recalling it for a long time, he remembered that it was the "Dunjia Tianshu" that he had brought out in a panic. The book was relatively large, and Yu Yi carried it out and entered the secret.
After the road, there is a very narrow road. It is estimated that Yu Yi lost the "Dunjia Tianshu" at that time.
In this way, Yu Yi hesitated for a long time, and finally he decided that regardless of the "Dun Jia Tian Shu", it was more important to save his beloved first, so he quickened his pace and walked towards Diao Ruxiao's residence.
That day, the bandits divided into two groups. One group was an elite group of 30 people led by Qinghe, which went directly to the back mountain and put on a good show in front of the underground palace. The other group was an ordinary group of 30 people led by Hu Baxian.
The main task of the bandit troops was to massacre the villagers. Of course, their goal was achieved. On that day, most of the backbone of Daoxiang Village went to the back mountains. The headquarters of Daoxiang Village was completely empty. Many old, weak, women and children were killed by the bandits before they could react.
The family was also robbed by bandits. Originally, according to Qinghe's instructions, he wanted to retreat to Qingshui Village, but Hu Baxian did not follow the instructions because he discovered that there was an otherworldly fairy in Daoxiang Village, namely Diao Xue.
Diao Xue has been recuperating at home because of her injury. Fortunately, Diao Ruxiao's medicinal herbs are very effective. Diao Xue can get out of bed and walk on the day everyone goes to the back mountain, because Diao Ruxiao and Yu Yi go to the back mountain at a relatively short time.
After a long time, she still didn't come back at night, so she became a little anxious and wanted to take a look. But at this time, she found a strange face, it was Hu Baxian.
Several people fought for several times, and the bandits were helpless against Diao Xue. However, Diao Xue was injured after all and could not break out of the siege. During this period, Hu Baxian also went into battle in person, but he did not get any advantage, but he was also noticed.
Diao Xue was injured after being released, so the two were at loggerheads. The bandits did not dare to rush into the mansion, and Diao Xue could not attack them.
"The girl is young, but she has excellent martial arts skills. Now Daoxiang Village is almost full of souls killed by swords, and you are also seriously injured. Why don't you follow me, Master Ba? Maybe I can give you a way to survive. Follow me to Qingshui Village to be your wife. I
I think Wenlu won’t treat you badly!”
Seeing that the strong attack failed, Hu Baxian simply sat at the door and began to use his mental tactics.
"Hmph, you bandits, when my father comes back, I will kill you to pieces!"
Diao Xue knew that there was nothing special about these bandits. They only relied on their own injuries. When reinforcements arrived, everything would be a different story.
"Oh, you reminded me, but I also want to tell you that your father has been injured by our second master and Zhang Daniu, and was chased into the underground palace by our village leader. Now the underground palace has been destroyed. I
I think your father, including that one, must have been killed in battle."
Hu Baxian touched his beard and showed a proud attitude.
"You are lying! How could Zhang Daniu be a traitor? My father would not be injured so easily!"
Diao Xue didn't believe Hu Baxian's words at all, but when she heard the news from Hu Baxian, she still clenched her fists and her hands were full of cold sweat. Not long ago, her right eyelid was still beating. This was a bad thing.
ah.
"Then let's wait and see! But before that, I can tell you the story of Zhang Daniu."
The two were arguing, and when they were bored, Hu Baxian told the story of Zhang Daniu.
So he met Zhang Daniu at the inn, and found out that Zhang Daniu was about to go back to report the news. He set up an ambush to catch Zhang Daniu on the road, and at the same time brought him back to Qingshui Village to torture and extract a confession. Finally, because of Wen Lu's persuasion, Zhang Daniu defected to Qingshui Village, Qinghe
He promised to make him the king of Daoxiang Village, so he became the hero of the attack on Daoxiang Village.
After Diao Xue listened to Hu Baxian's story, she closed her eyes silently. She didn't like Zhang Daniu in the first place. Now that she had evidence of Zhang Daniu's rebellion, she thought she would tell her father about this situation so that he would never do it again.
He was against himself and Yu Yi.
While she was meditating, she suddenly noticed that the light outside the house was slowly getting stronger. She opened the curtains and found that Hu Baxian and a group of bandits outside had carried torches.
"Girl, it's because you're so beautiful. It's okay if you don't come out. We'll light the surrounding thatch with torches immediately to create some smoke for you, so maybe you can consider coming out."
Hu Baxian touched his beard and let out a sinister laugh. Then he ordered the bandits around him to point the torches directly in the direction of Diao Xue.
Suddenly the thatch crackled as it was being burned, and thick smoke began to appear from Diao Xue, surrounding her.
