Sleeping Arhat

Chapter 14 Fighting the Bandits
Old man Li and Wu Xian were busy all day long, and old man Li always had hope in his heart. His health was better, and his cough was less.

The two brewed [-] altars of fine wine in total. Of course, old man Li followed the traditional brewing method, while Wu Xian used the distillation method of later generations.

Old man Li was curious about Wu Xian's mysterious brewing of wine every day, but Wu Xian did not allow old man Li to watch it unless he had finished brewing his own.

On this day, old man Li finally finished brewing. After entering, he was amazed and praised again and again.Although Wu Xian has never brewed wine before, his grandfather in the countryside in his previous life often made wine. Over time, Wu Xian learned it by hearing and seeing.

In the end, the two buried the wine in the ground, only hoping that Wu Xian would come to fetch it in the coming year.

The cold winter finally passed, and it was time for the two of them to start their journey. This may be the last part of the river and lake road for old man Li. Fortunately, Wu Xian accompanied him on this journey.

This time, the two of them stopped begging in beggar's clothes, holding broken bowls and bamboo sticks, begging all the way.

Riding on a green mule, one person makes hoofprints one by one on the slightly wet land, and walks slowly on the fragrant grass. Along the way, there are apricot flowers blooming, wild chrysanthemums exuding fragrance, and bees and butterflies circling around the flowers There are also birds chirping among the branches.

There is Wu Xian leisurely riding a mule humming the lotus flower falling, and old man Li blowing the tune with a young leaf in his mouth. One old and one young, like the characters in the painting, have been walking this journey.

"Master Li, you hum the song and I play the tune." If old man Li's tunes are about stories and vicissitudes, then Wu Xian's tunes are youthful and newborn.

The melodious melody caters to the tune of the lotus flower and becomes the most pleasant music, composing a soul-stirring lament.

Eight days later, in Yaoguantun outside Cangzhou City, Wu Xian, who had sharp eyes and ears, heard the sound of clanging weapons from a distance. Armed with spears and sharp swords, they guarded a carriage in groups, struggling to fight with a group of green forest bandits. The ground of the carriage was stained red by the splashed blood, and dozens of corpses with broken limbs fell on the ground, staring at each other. And look, dead state is ugly.

"Master Li, where do we go around here?" Although Wu Xian wanted to help others, he knew that he and Old Man Li were not very capable, so he might as well walk away, so as not to get angry.

Old man Li was also a little sad, and said: "This should be the Shangqiu Xuanwei Escort Agency. Look at the words on the Escort Flag. I have been kind to the old Escort before, but now I can't do anything about the plight of the Escort Agency."

Wu Xian was also a little depressed. He saw a group of brave and straight men die in front of him, but he was helpless. It was as if a big stone was pressed on his heart. His heart felt uncomfortable and he couldn't breathe.

"Master Li, when manpower is inherently poor, our abilities are limited. Later, if the robbers are too powerful to stop and easily kill all the heroes of the Escort, we can only help collect the corpses, so that these heroes of the Xuanwei Escort have a home, so as not to Reduced to a lonely ghost."

Seeing that the Xuanwei Escort was surrounded by robbers, showing its predicament, but still able to hold on for a while, seeing old man Li's tangled expression. "Master Li, how high is your lightness kung fu? Can you get out of the battle after being defeated?" Wu Xian asked anxiously as he looked at the increasingly anxious battle situation.

Old man Li shook his head: "I never perform lightness kung fu in front of people, I don't know if my light kung fu has miraculous effects, but Xuanwei Escort's family has a set of big golden saber technique, which is famous all over the world, and the old man used it back then. I can still vividly see the big tree across the tree, and I think my lightness kung fu is only mediocre, not the old man's single-handed enemy." The amazing knife of the old escort appeared in front of Li's eyes, but he sighed in his heart. His skill is not as good as that of the old escort.

"Then Master Li, what do you think we should do, whether to leave, stay, or go up." Wu Xian asked ruthlessly.

Old man Li gritted his teeth and felt hatred in his heart. He shouted with great hatred, and his voice spread far and wide: "Don't be afraid, head of the bodyguard, I'll help you." Then he jumped, and with a convenient swipe, the stick was held in his hand like a spirit snake. , stepping up into the air, and suddenly came outside the encirclement of the robbers.

Old man Li thought to himself: I, old man Li, have been weak for most of my life. I have seen tartars massacre villages, bandits robbed relatives, and passers-by were killed. I have seen so many injustices. Now is the last time to be brave, even if you die on the spot, it is worth it.

Wu Xian saw that old man Li was holding a stick in one hand, pointing the stick at all the robbers. Xian Xiaoxiao also leaped to the side of old man Li, holding both ends of the stick tightly with both hands, and looked at the robbers as if facing an enemy.

"Brothers, there are heroes here, let's go." The strong voice of the 30-year-old bearded escort head rang out, instantly boosting morale. "The big guys shouted in unison, and took up weapons to fight.

The robbers originally surrounded the people in the bodyguard bureau, but now the old man Li and Wu Xian descended like magic soldiers, which really cheered up the mood of the people in the bodyguard bureau, and it was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for the robbers.

The robbers in that wave of green forest were also quite disciplined. Seeing that the two of them had excellent lightness kung fu, two tall and strong robbers slashed with knives. Although old man Li is not good at fighting, he has been obsessed with stick techniques and light kung fu for decades, so he is naturally very clever.

I saw the old man Li took a few steps back, and then quickly unfolded his lightness kung fu. With a little, a flip, a poke, and a chop of the wooden stick, the stick danced like a monkey churning the moon. On the ground, blood was mixed with teeth flying around, and he passed out.

The bandit leader yelled: "You guys are the bodyguards, I'll come up with this tough idea." Then he rushed forward brandishing a big knife.

Old man Li knocked over the gangster who attacked Wu Xian from behind, and shouted hoarsely, "Wu Xian, run quickly."

Wu Xian panicked and took the wooden stick, quickly jumped up to the mountain in three or two steps, and sat down on the ground in disbelief, his heart was beating non-stop, his blood was surging, and there was blood in front of his eyes The appearance of sprinkling blood and flesh flying everywhere.

After walking away for a while, Wu Xian began to worry about the safety of old man Li. He gritted his teeth, put his life aside, turned around and galloped back.

Looking back, old man Li fought against the bandit leader with his superb lightness skills and superb stick skills, but because of his constant strength, he gradually fell behind after collisions.

Wu Xian was deeply afraid that old man Li would be stabbed by Ling Yan with a big knife around his head, so he shouted: "Master Li, I will help you." Unexpectedly, his strength exploded, and he flew across the sky with his teeth gritted. Like a shadow of a ghost, he passed close to him, and struck the bandit leader's waist with a forceful stick. Immediately, the bandit leader's eyes sharpened, he snorted coldly, and his momentum plummeted.
