A knife in love

Chapter 1052

Liu Sheng Zongyan was going to discuss with Shidao Master about the attack on the main hall.While Ji Dingzhong stood on the stone steps, watching Monk Guangzhi lead a dozen disciples out of the temple gate, Liu Shengzongyan walked towards Shidao Master with a gloomy expression.Ji Dingzhong knew something was wrong, he thought to himself that this old guy would probably find out that he had been fooled, and he was afraid that he would order the hall to be set on fire immediately.In this way, one's own side is bound to suffer a crushing defeat.Thinking of this, he ordered a disciple of the Nie family beside him to invite Mrs. Nie out of the main hall to prevent the Japanese pirates from setting fire to the main hall. At the same time, he called Huang Chong and the head of the Zhao family over to discuss how to deal with the Japanese pirates. s attack.

While Liu Shengzongyan and Ji Dingzhong were thinking about countermeasures, there were feather arrows flying into the temple from outside the temple.The two were startled and looked towards the temple gate at the same time.

In an instant, there was a loud sound of arrows piercing the sky outside the temple.Immediately afterwards, the sound of "duoduo" came continuously, presumably it was the sound made by the arrow hitting the wall of the Chenghuang Temple.The sound was as dense as raindrops falling into the water, which made people palpitate.Moreover, the feathered arrows shot from the gate of the temple are no longer as weak as before. After flying into the gate of the temple, the remaining momentum often remains, and they can fly five or six zhang before landing on the ground.Those who want to shoot arrows are approaching the Temple of the City God step by step.

Originally, dozens of Japanese pirates blocked the courtyard in front of the temple gate to prevent the people from Fengmen Village and the policemen from Luoyang Prefecture and Xiuwu County from escaping.But the feathered arrows shot in from the temple gate became quicker and faster, and these Japanese pirates had no choice but to scatter to avoid it.

Everyone in the courtyard knew that there must be a great change outside the temple, and they were all surprised and uncertain.Seeing this situation, Liu Sheng Zongyan turned his head and said angrily to Shidao Master: "Did you see it? It must be the enemy's reinforcements who saw the fire in the temple and came to the rescue!"

Island Master Shi felt a little regretful at the moment, and hastily ordered his subordinates to put out the fire.Liu Sheng Zongyan sneered: "The enemy has already arrived, what's the use of putting out the fire now?!"

Before Liu Sheng Zongyan finished speaking, he saw a figure flickering at the gate of the temple, and three gray-clothed monks staggered in, each with a few feathered arrows stuck in their bodies.The three monks were pale and terrified. They didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they broke into the courtyard.

It's just that the three of them just ran down the stone steps, and more than a dozen feather arrows flew in from outside the temple gate.These feathered arrows were coming at such a high speed that only a few "puff puffs" were heard, and the three monks were hit by arrows in the back of their hearts. They screamed and fell to the ground. on a human corpse.I saw the body of the three monks twitched a few times, then they remained still.

Seeing this situation, the Japanese pirates around were so frightened that they turned pale and took a few steps back.

Master Shi's face changed, he was afraid that the disciples of Tianshan School and Nie's family would rush out of the temple gate while his subordinates retreated, so he shouted loudly, telling the Japanese pirates not to retreat, and to guard the temple gate.

Liu Sheng Zongyan was even annoyed when he heard Shidao Master issuing orders, thinking that although this person commanded more than a thousand Fusang warriors, he did things so recklessly.It was already dark at this time, although the enemy's reinforcements had arrived outside the temple, members of the Nie family absolutely did not dare to rush out of the temple gate rashly, otherwise they would die under the arrows.But Shi Daozhu panicked and ordered all the warriors to form an array in front of the temple gate.In this way, if the enemies outside the temple fired cold arrows, these warriors would either die or be injured.

Thinking of this, Liu Sheng Zongyan was about to remind Lord Shidao to be careful, when he suddenly heard the sound of feather arrows piercing the sky outside the temple getting louder.Immediately afterwards, two gray-clothed monks appeared at the gate of the temple in a panic, but before their feet crossed the threshold of the temple gate, they heard two monks screaming loudly and fell to the ground almost at the same time. Five or six feather arrows.Most of these feathered arrows penetrated into the bodies of the two monks and immediately shot them to death on the threshold.

Standing on the stone steps in front of the main hall, Ji Dingzhong saw the drastic change in the situation inside and outside the temple. He was surprised and happy. He didn't know which god suddenly appeared at this critical moment and relieved everyone's danger.At this time, Mrs. Nie walked out of the hall with the support of two Nie family children.Ji Dingzhong saw that Old Master Nie had arrived, he hurried forward to meet him, and said in a low voice, "Daddy, there are people outside the temple. These people shot and killed five bald donkeys, they seem to be our reinforcements..."

Seeing Ji Dingzhong's excited expression, Mrs. Nie glanced at him with dissatisfaction, and said in a deep voice, "The good and the bad are unknown, but you are so restless, how can you do great things?!"

Ji Dingzhong was startled, and then realized that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly bowed his head and stood upright, saying: "Daddy taught you the right thing, the child should remember it."

The head of the Zhao family was originally depressed and desperate, but when he saw the sudden change in the situation, he was both surprised and happy.Seeing Mrs. Nie coming out, he hurriedly approached him and said in a trembling voice: "The Japanese pirates are in a mess right now, and we can just take this opportunity to rush out of the temple. As long as Brother Nie gives an order, we will go forward with all our might. Can't stop us..."

Before the head of the Zhao family could finish his sentence, Old Master Nie sneered.His heart trembled, and he immediately shut up.Old Mrs. Nie said, "How do you know that those people outside the temple are here to help us?"

As soon as Mrs. Nie said this, Ji Dingzhong, the head of the Zhao family, and Huang Chong who were standing beside him were shocked.The three of them looked at each other, not knowing what old Mrs. Nie meant, and were speechless for a while.I only heard old Mrs. Nie say word by word: "It just happened so coincidentally. The old man and Mr. Li just now cast doubts, saying casually that we and the reinforcements raised fire as a sign, but we didn't want the Japanese pirates to use fire to attack and burn us all to death in the hall. Inside. When the Japanese pirates lit the fire, I think everyone, like the old man, was a little uneasy. I was worried that the Japanese pirates would see through our plot and set fire to the main hall. This monk, everyone believed that our reinforcements had arrived, and all they wanted to do was escape from the temple. Hehe, even if it was our reinforcements, the lights outside the temple were dark, if we rushed out in a daze, we would die under the arrows What's more, which one of you dare to assert that our reinforcements are outside the temple?!"

Ji Dingzhong, the head of the Zhao family, and Huang Chong were shocked, and no one spoke for a while.

At this time, Liu Sheng Zongyan has stopped Shidaozhu, and advised him not to force his warriors to block the gate of Chenghuang Temple, otherwise he will die in vain.Under the light of the fire, I saw Master Shi's face flushed red, and he said viciously: "The entrance of the main hall is only a dozen feet away from the temple gate. If we can't seal the way out and let the enemy escape, we will immediately become a turtle in the urn. , can only be slaughtered by others. Your Excellency Liu Sheng, you and I are joining forces to accomplish great things. We can’t fail to achieve great things, but let’s all be buried in this ghost temple?!"

Just as Shi Daozhu finished speaking, a figure suddenly appeared on the top of the wall on the left side of the temple gate, flying straight into the courtyard.At this time, he was facing the wall, looking intently, but saw that the figure was one of the disciples of Monk Guangzhi.I saw this monk jumping in the air, but his face was terrified.

With his back to the temple gate, Liu Sheng Zongyan, seeing the strange expression on Shidao Master's face, looked straight behind him, knowing that something must have happened.He turned around suddenly, just in time to see that monk's body had jumped over the wall, had risen to the highest point he could jump, and was about to fall into the courtyard.At this moment, dozens of feathered arrows shot from behind him, shooting him like a hedgehog.Hearing the monk's scream, he fell suddenly and fell into the yard with a "bang", causing the snow on the ground to fly up to half a person's height.

Seeing this situation, everyone turned pale with shock.Even Liusheng Zongyan and Shidaozhu were terrified, and took two steps back involuntarily.

The apprentices of Monk Guangzhi were shot to death one after another. The disciples of Nie, Lu, Zhao, and Du who were standing on the stone steps of the main hall, as well as the Tolerance policeman, were both surprised and happy. Zhen, gearing up to rush out of the temple gate and join the reinforcements.Catcher Yin was also excited, and turned his head to Li Qiufeng who was standing on the side, saying: "Master Li, let's kill them right away, cooperate with the reinforcements, and kill all these turtle sons, bastards, and avenge the brothers who died tragically!"

Seeing the sudden change in the situation, Li Qiufeng was also startled and suspicious.Seeing the apprentices of Monk Guangzhi being shot to death one after another, Li Qiufeng thought to himself, if Mr. Liu and others arrive, they are all masters of martial arts, and their swordsmanship is natural.It's just that these strong bows and crossbows are not their forte.Looking at the death of these monks, there should be a large army of soldiers coming from outside.It seems that Hu Kun's men have arrived.Could it be that he and Mrs. Nie made up a spur-of-the-moment idea just now, and deliberately made up lies, but they accidentally led Ruyangwei's cavalry outside the temple?
