Xu Chong rode a white tiger, led hundreds of sword and shield soldiers, and escorted three demon prisoners into a secluded bamboo forest.
At this time, several soldiers in green who were running at the front to explore the road suddenly ran back and said: "Tell the Immortal Lord that in the bamboo forest ahead, we found an abandoned house that is well preserved and very suitable for spending the night."
Hearing this, Xu Chong's heart moved and he waved his hand: "Let's go, take us there."
"Yes, Immortal Lord..."
Under the guidance of the pathfinders, everyone soon discovered an abandoned house deep in the bamboo forest.
Xu Chong stood at the gate of the deserted house, not in a hurry to go in, but looked around.
I found that the area around this abandoned house was covered with bamboo, which was perfect for enemies to lurk inside at night.
Seeing this scene, he immediately ordered: "Go and cut down all the bamboos around you. Clean up everything that may hide the enemy. I want there to be no grass growing within twenty feet around here!"
After hearing the order, two hundred soldiers in green immediately showed off their sharp swords, rushed into the surrounding bamboo forest, and started cutting down frantically.
In the dark bamboo forest, the sound of chopping could be heard constantly.
Wow…
As new and old bamboos fell down in pieces, it didn't take long for the entire abandoned house to be cleaned up.
Xu Chong looked around again, and instantly, he felt that his field of vision was much wider.
"Take them in!"
After entering the house, I looked around and found that there were dust and cobwebs everywhere, and the ground was in a mess.
There are also many leaks in the roof, but the surrounding walls are intact and have not collapsed.
The windows on the wall were already badly damaged.
Xu Chong ordered the soldiers to clean the house and lit a fire. Instantly, the house became warm and bright.
Hundreds of soldiers were guarding the surroundings of the abandoned house, and dozens of sword and shield guards were stationed at the gate.
Xu Chong and the tiger servant were sitting next to the fire. The freckled woman and her two accomplices were tied together tightly and sat on the ground. Their expressions looked a little painful. After all, the pipa bone was broken, so it would be strange if it didn't hurt.
The three of them basically didn't speak except for humming a few times along the way.
However, when he first entered this deserted house, Xu Chong accidentally saw a hint of subtle cunning flashing through the eyes of the freckled woman.
"Is their boss here? Or is he secretly following us all the way?"
Thinking of this, Xu Chong secretly made a reservation.
Under the corner next to him, there were four barrels of sticky oil and several bags of quicklime powder piled up. As for food, drinks, Mongolian sweat medicine and other messy things, I also bought some.
It will definitely not be peaceful if you spend the night here tonight, so you must take precautions in advance.
It's okay if the demon doesn't come. If he comes to rescue his accomplices, he must never come back.
The fire was crackling and burning, and Xu Chong had been secretly observing the freckled woman from a few meters away.
Suddenly, he noticed that the woman lowered her head slightly and moved her lips a few times, as if she was mumbling something, but she made no sound.
"No, although these guys have broken bones, they have too many weird tricks, especially that freckled woman."
"The night is so long, and the tigers have to take a nap. It is impossible for me to keep an eye on them all the time. I must control everything in my own hands..."
After thinking about this, Xu Chong said in a deep voice: "A few people are here!"
In an instant, several soldiers in blue came to the front and said respectfully: "Immortal Lord, please give me your orders!"
Xu Chong pointed to the three demon prisoners tied together and said, "Open all their mouths."
After saying that, he stood up, took the wine bag in his hand, poured a lot of sweat medicine into it, then shook it vigorously and walked directly in front of the freckled woman.
When the freckled woman saw this, she looked a little flustered.
"You...what do you want to do?"
"I want you to be more honest!"
Before she finished speaking, her mouth was roughly opened by the soldiers. Without saying a word, Xu Chong poured the wine mixed with Mongolian sweat medicine into her mouth, choking her and making her scream incessantly.
Her other two accomplices were also given a lot of sweat medicine.
It is said that in this world of immortal martial arts, when Mongolian sweat medicine and strong wine are mixed together, there will be a chemical reaction. If a person drinks it, he will soon enter a comatose state and cannot wake up even if he shakes it.
really.
The faces of the freckled woman and her two accomplices turned dark red. After a while, the three of them looked confused and gradually fell to the ground.
Xu Chong stepped forward and opened their eyelids again, checked their pupils, and confirmed that they were really unconscious, and then he felt relieved.
Stun them, this is the basic operation.
Otherwise, who knows if they might cause any trouble this late night?
Only by letting them sleep like dead people for a night would Xu Chong not worry about internal problems.
Looking at the sleeping three people, several soldiers pricked their fingers with small bamboo thorns several times, but the three people still didn't react at all.
It seems that strong alcohol combined with sweat medicine is really powerful.
"Untie them!"
The tiger servant was stunned for a moment and said in confusion: "Immortal Master, is it inappropriate to let them go?"
Xu Chong smiled and said: "If his accomplices can really come in without anyone noticing, these ropes will basically be useless and can be cut off with just a knife."
After hearing this, the tiger servant felt that what the fairy master said was quite reasonable.
At this time, Xu Chong ordered the soldiers again: "Apply all the sticky oil on their bodies. Remember to apply more, the thicker the better."
"Yes, Immortal Lord!"
Quickly, the three Tsing Yi soldiers opened four barrels of sticky oil and frantically smeared it on the bodies of the freckled woman and her two accomplices.
Sticky oil is a specialty in this Xianwu world. It is a bit like the lubricating oil on earth in the previous life, but it is thicker and more slippery.
Ordinary people usually buy the sticky oil, refine it, apply it on the furniture, and let it dry. This way, the furniture will not get moldy and rot, and it can also prevent insects and ants from biting.
However, unrefined sticky oil is very lubricating. If the sticky oil falls on the ground and accidentally steps on it, it is easy to fall and slip.
It didn't take long for the freckled woman and her two burly accomplices to be smeared with a thick layer of sticky oil all over their bodies.
This thing is difficult to clean.
Xu Chong secretly smiled and said: "They are as sleepy as dead people, and their bodies are covered with sticky oil. They are so slippery that they can't even pull them up. I would like to see how the owner can get rid of them?"
There are still three and a half barrels of sticky oil left, which must not be wasted.
Thinking of this, he ordered the Tsing Yi soldiers to clean the ground around the three demon criminals again, then poured all the remaining sticky oil on the ground, and spread it evenly with bamboo slices.
He also ordered several soldiers in green clothes to carry several bags of quicklime powder outside and prepare them.
After doing all this, all you need to do is wait patiently.
The night was dark, and there was silence outside. Only the fire was burning inside the house, and the occasional crackling sound of fire was heard.
With the tiger servant guarding him, Xu Chong sat by the fire and dozed off peacefully.
Before I knew it, it was late at night.
At this time, the hundreds of sword and shield soldiers guarding the abandoned house all disappeared because the time was up.
Xu Chong immediately woke up, threw out a handful of mung beans, once again transformed into hundreds of sword and shield soldiers, and continued to guard the outside.
For safety reasons, he said to the tiger servant: "Let's go out for a spin..."
Then he rode the white tiger and ran around the abandoned house. He quietly threw mung beans on the ground wherever he passed.
At least 800 of them were thrown, covering all the open space around the abandoned house.
As long as you find something wrong later, just say a chant, and eight hundred sword and shield soldiers will appear out of thin air.
He returned to the house again, sat next to the fire, and looked at the three people. They were lying on the ground motionless. It was estimated that they would not wake up until tomorrow morning.
Estimating the time, it was at least one or two in the morning.
After waiting for so long, there was nothing unusual outside, which made Xu Chong a little depressed.
"Am I too worried?"
Sudden,
At this moment, a thick fog appeared in the bamboo forest.
The fog is very thick and faint, drifting towards the abandoned house.
It didn't take long for the entire deserted house to be shrouded in thick fog.
Xu Chong was sitting in the house and couldn't even see clearly the guard at the gate.
As the mist continued to pour into the house along the door, Xu Chong secretly felt that something was wrong.
At this time, the tiger servant came closer and whispered: "Their accomplices are here!"
"Be vigilant and take precautions..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard bursts of shrill screams coming from the mist outside.
ah!!!
The screams were all coming from the blue-robed sword and shield soldiers.
There was obviously no fighting outside, but the men and horses he deployed around him continued to suffer losses.
It seemed that the demon was using the cover of thick fog to assassinate and attack his guards.
"I wonder if the Wind-Fixing Bead can eliminate this strange thick fog?"
Thinking of this, Xu Chong immediately took out the Wind-fixing Bead from the Qiankun bag and shouted at the same time: "Everyone who is left, please come into the house!"
