stand back, let me come

Chapter 1368: How could one know that the Way of Heaven is as curved as a bow (Part 1368) [asking for monthly votes]

The boy's eyes suddenly became sharp.

The power he possesses is simply not something that someone of his age can possess.

Luo San was not afraid at all, and stared at him, his momentum not inferior at all. After a long while, the young man who called himself an old man lazily closed his eyes. A childish voice suddenly sounded in the corner: "I am, I wonder why this righteous man is looking for me?"

In the darkness of the next cell, a little girl looked up at him.

The girl was not even as tall as his waist, but she was wearing adult-sized clothes. In order to avoid being caught by her skirt and trouser legs, she folded the long sleeves of her robe again and again, tied it with the original waist belt, and barely maintained a bit of respectability. Luo San looked at the girl in silence.

Reason told him that Kangguo would not be crazy enough to let a six or seven-year-old girl be the governor of a county. In addition, the girl's tone of voice and demeanor were very different from those of ordinary girls. Luo San roughly guessed what was going on. He said, "I'm here to find you on behalf of an old friend."

"Old friend?"

"Xia Houli."

The girl, Miao Ne, thought about it seriously and shook her head.

She had no recollection of the name.

Judging from the support Xia Houli received in the Central Continent, she was definitely no ordinary person in the King Kang's court. The girl in front of him was able to obtain a county governor position in the fiercely competitive King Kang's court as a woman, so she was not an ordinary person either.

Even if the two had never seen it, it was impossible that they had not heard of it.

Luo San suspected that he had found the wrong person, and asked Miao Ne again and again: "Her name is Xia Houli, don't you know her?"

Miao Ne had no need to lie to him: "I've never heard of it."

"How is that possible? Isn't Xia Houli deeply in love with Wang En? She is also your teacher's friend. How could you not have heard of her when you were a student?"

“I really don’t know her, and I have never heard my master mention this lady… But - I am still a young official, and I have been in the underworld before. There have been many talented people in the court over the years, so it is normal that I don’t know all of them.” He tried to smooth over the strange atmosphere.

Luo San doesn't care about these details.

As long as you don't find the wrong person.

He said, "In that case, follow me."

Lady Xiahou didn't say to bring other people, so don't worry about it. Miao Ne couldn't agree. Luo San's background was unknown, and he was in this situation now. If he escaped from prison rashly, he would be courting death. Seeing Miao Ne refused to move, Luo San knew that she suspected him.

"In this case, I have two requests."

"explain."

"Can you tell the King Kang's court about what happened here?"

"Oh? Sure. Tell me about it."

Lady Xiahou also commissioned him to investigate along the way.

At this time, the young man who had been keeping his eyes closed and silent suddenly said, "How reckless! How do we know that he is not a bandit in disguise to deceive us?"

Luo San wanted to laugh when he heard this.

"You are not as skilled as others and have fallen into this situation. I don't think you are capable. I advise you to stop giving me advice."

If you don't like it, just shut up and stop giving orders.

The boy got angry when he heard this: "What do you know?"

Luo San gloated, "What can I say about you being shot into this state by an arrow? Did you think your opponent was an ant and a lackey because his martial courage level was not high? If you couldn't kill him with one slap, you would slap him twice? In the end, you were shot by an arrow?"

The boy's pupils trembled violently and almost opened wide.

I don’t know if I was hit in the sore spot.

"You? You still say you're not a thief in disguise?"

"Don't doubt me. When I was at odds with Yuan Fu, you were playing in the mud." Luo San said this like a master, not mentioning his own dark history of suffering at the hands of the other party. The path taken by Yuan Fu and his descendants was beyond the scope of normal warriors, so it was normal for them to be attacked. Yuan Fu was also at the peak of his first battle.

"Yuan Fu?"

"The ancestor of the person who hurt you was a short-lived ghost." Luo San counted the time with his fingers and reminded them, "I don't have much time left. Either follow me or explain yourself quickly."

Don't wait!

Miao Ne said, "Don't be upset, senior."

She recounted her experiences during this period.

During the time when Lin Feng had just left, the situation in Yuanfu County was clearly developing in a good direction. Although there was resistance from local forces, Miao Ne held a Hongmen Banquet and killed several people to set an example. With the support of Li Wan in the neighboring county, the various forces were frightened and dared not move.

Miao Ne took the opportunity to eliminate the traitor who was secretly collaborating with the enemy.

Everything is progressing in an orderly manner.

Gongyang Yongye, the young man who was scolded by Luo San, went out to visit friends and acquaintances. The incident happened when he left Yuanfu County. Li Wan sent a letter for help. After Miao Ne verified the authenticity, he sent troops out of the city and entered the neighboring county to find clues.

He immediately realized that he might be lured away.

At almost the same time, the various families in Yuanfu County united in civil strife.

The city gate was opened by colluding with the rebels from inside and outside.

She hurried back and ran into Gongyang Yongye, preparing to retake Yuanfu County, but Gongyang Yongye was defeated and she was captured. The two were imprisoned in the dungeon for more than ten days.

"Besides these, is there anything else to explain?"

"Yes, please help me deliver this to the head of the Cui family." In the other cell was a slightly haggard young man, with wounds of all sizes under his clothes, many of which were red and festering. In addition to the fishy smell, there was also a rotten smell on his body. It looked very grim. He still managed to get up and take off the token from his waist, "If I die here, my father will know who my enemy is."

The girl shouted at him for the unlucky words he said.

"Cui Houbai, what nonsense are you talking about?"

"Tell my father to rescue Ximin at all costs. If anything happens to me, these words will be my last words." Cui Xiong ignored Miao Ne and looked at Luo San seriously. Luo San did not take it immediately, his eyes fell on his terrifying wrist.

The flesh and blood around the wrist disappeared, and the remaining flesh and blood wrapped around the wrist bone. Maggots were wriggling in the rotten area, which was a horrifying sight.

"If you still have the energy to spare, can you take him away?"

Cui Xiong's situation is not optimistic.

Luo San looked at her deeply and said, "That's fine."

Cui Xiong was naturally unwilling, but his current state did not allow him to say no. However, no one expected that Luo San would not only rob one person, but also took away the young boy Gong Yang Yongye and the girl Miao Ne. He cut off the torture instruments on Gong Yang Yongye's hands with one finger, threw the smelly Cui Xiong to him, and grabbed Miao Ne's collar with one hand, saying, "Follow me!"

The dungeon's tight security was no problem for him.

It took some effort to leave the city with three burdens.

Fortunately, we escaped out of the city safely.

The young man Gong Yang Yongye rubbed his wrist and said, "I'll say goodbye here first. I have other things to do. We'll meet later."

Miao Ne knew what he was going to do and grabbed the hem of his clothes.

"You don't even know where you are being held now, how are you going to go back and save people? You're in this state now, and forcing your way in will only lead to death." I can't believe that he is more impulsive than young people.

Xiang Zhao was not detained with them.

"I'm not going in alone. Call a few brothers to lend a hand. We must kill that monster alive!" Gongyang Yongye is not a reckless person, so he naturally won't do anything that he is not sure of.

I have suffered such a great loss, I must get back at her!

It was not only about Xiang Zhao, but also about his dignity. Luo San infused the unconscious Cui Xiong with martial energy to protect his heart, so that he would not die on the way. Hearing the movement of the two, he was about to roll his eyes, but suddenly his expression was fierce, and he pushed Cui Xiong to Gongyang Yongye. Miao Ne also realized that the pursuers were coming.

as predicted--

A red shadow stood quietly on the treetop.

Gongyang Yongye became furious when he saw this figure.

He wanted to skin the other person alive: "Monster!"

The red shadow was wearing a black leather soft armor and holding a bow that was more than one person tall. The bow was extremely thick and had mysterious red and gold patterns engraved on it. The person looked down at the four people who had escaped from prison, and finally her eyes fell on Luo San who was standing in the front. She asked crisply, "Were you the one who kicked Yuan Fu's tombstone before?"

The first thing mentioned was not Luo San's prison break.

Luo San said: "So what if it's me?"

"Do you have a grudge against Yuan Fu? Or do you have a grudge against the Yuan family?"

Luo San said calmly: "All of them."

Hong Ying was not angry but happy: "In this case, I won't care about your prison break and kidnapping. Just leave on your own and I won't make things difficult for you."

Now it was Luo San's turn to be confused.

"Aren't you a descendant of Yuan Fu?"

The person who came in the red robe and soft armor was a girl, which did not conform to the custom of Yuan Fu's family to pass the inheritance to boys but not girls. But times are different now. Maybe this generation of the Yuan family really can't give birth to a talented boy, so they can only hold their noses and pass the inheritance to a girl.

Hongying said, "I am not."

Luo San couldn't believe it and turned his gaze quietly to the big bow.

He was sure that the big bow in the red-robed woman's hand was the one used by Yuan Fu in the past. It was a family heirloom of the Yuan family, and he would not make a mistake.

The red-robed woman noticed his gaze and sneered.

"Even if you are not a descendant of the Yuan family, you can still practice it."

Telling others that only the Yuan family can practice this is nothing but a lie.

If it weren't for that, the Yuan family's inheritance would have been stolen by outsiders long ago. That is the [enlightenment], the foundation accumulated by generations. Without much hard work, it can threaten most of the brave warriors in the world. Although the price is huge, the power is also great.

There are always people who are willing to take risks for the sake of profit.

If you don't spread it to others, you can eliminate most of the covetousness.

Luo San was a little surprised when he heard this, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it made sense. If he were Yuan Fu, he would also keep the secret tightly. "This generation of people who practice the Time Bow Technique are quite open-minded."

If he wasn't open-minded, he wouldn't have passed it on to a woman who wasn't a blood relative.

Luo San didn't know which word he said that had caused him to step on a landmine. The red-robed woman who had been kind just now raised her hand and raised her bow towards him, with a strong murderous intent quietly emerging in her eyes. When Luo San saw this posture, he felt it was a bit strange - the person in front of him was hostile to the Yuan family.

"My lady, we have no grudges against each other, so there is no need to fight to the death as soon as we meet. The archery skills you use are very costly, so there is no need to waste so much of your life just to get angry with me..."

Luo San was ready to talk to her emotionally and rationally, and it would be best if the issue could be resolved peacefully. To put it bluntly, archery is a game of life and death, and each generation of archers has a limited number of archery attempts in their lifetime.

Even Yuan Fu, the most gifted man in the history of the Yuan family, was no exception. He became famous in his first battle and easily killed his opponent of the same level with three arrows, while Luo San was almost killed by the arrows. He saved his life, but was also injured.

Because of this hidden injury, Luo San paid a heavy price.

Of course, Yuan Fu also paid a price.

After three arrows, his hair turned white in an instant.

The appearance of a Wudan warrior will not easily show signs of aging, and the loss of a lot of life will first be reflected in the hair. Yuan Fu had three arrows and his hair turned white, but this archer had already dealt with Gong Yang Yongye before, sending him back to his youth.

A light bulb suddenly lit up in his mind, and he remembered a detail he had overlooked - even if this woman had burned less life than Yuan Fu in the battle with Gongyang Yongye, it was impossible for her to still have such shiny black hair, right?

Realizing this, Luo San secretly cursed Yuan Fu in his heart.

Will this guy's descendants be able to completely solve the drawbacks of the Time Arrow?

Even if it is not completely solved, the increase in the number of arrows fired is fatal. It is already extremely strong, how can it be strengthened?

The red-robed woman did not miss Luo San's subtle pause.

"Now that you know, then save your life!"

【Time flies like an arrow】

She plucked the bow with her other hand, and the patterns on the bow were activated, instantly filling it with surging martial energy. At the same time, a strong wind blew around the woman, and thunderclouds covered the sky. The power of time devoured her like a whale and a tiger, condensing into an illusory silver bow.

Luo San: "..."

I kind of regretted not breaking Yuan Fu's tombstone with that kick.

He should dig the other person out and whip his corpse.

"Who knows that the way of heaven is as curved as a bow!"

Gong Yangyongye's expression suddenly changed: "Get out of the way!"

Unexpectedly, Luo San made a middle finger gesture to the red-robed woman, and took the arrow. Gong Yang Yongye almost laughed out of anger when he saw this. He thought Luo San was a smart guy, but he didn't expect that he didn't even bring his brain with him when he went out!

Knowing that the arrow was dangerous, you still dared to take it head-on?

The woman was also surprised: "You didn't hide?"

When the smoke and dust produced by the huge explosion gradually dissipated, Luo San's laughter was heard from the spot: "One arrow takes away a person's sixty years. Your time arrow is similar to Yuan Fu's. It's genuine and not a lie..."

Theoretically, one arrow can rejuvenate a person for a whole sixty years.

However, theory is theory and practice is practice.

The time arrow first deducts the martial spirit of the person who is hit by the arrow, and then the age. Once the age drops to sixteen, it will not drop any further. Luo San had studied this before. To be able to control this kind of bow technique, one must either be very impressive at the age of sixteen, or have strong martial arts skills, or -

It was the peak sixty years ago!

Luo San waved his hand casually, and the smoke and dust that had not yet dispersed was forcibly pressed down by an invisible force: "It tastes good."

Young ram Yongye: "..."

Miao Ne struggled to open his eyes that were tortured by the wind and sand.

He spat out the sand twice and asked, "What's the situation now?"

Gongyang Yongye said quietly: "Twenty levels of Chehou..."

Miao Ne: “…”

Red robe woman: "..."

Who could have imagined that an eleventh-rank Right Guardian would be devoured by the Time Arrow for sixty years, and his strength and cultivation level would directly regress to the twentieth-rank Chehou?

This setback is not proper!

Luo San looked at the red-robed woman's constipated face with satisfaction.

He smiled and asked, "My Lady, can you please let him go? Outsiders may not know, but I have some knowledge of Yuan's archery skills."

He looked calm on the surface, but he was actually unsure inside.

Yuan Fu shot three arrows at the time, but the woman only shot one arrow, but her face was normal, not to mention the signs of consuming her life span, she didn't even breathe. God knows how many arrows she can shoot in a short time, and Luo San doesn't want to fight with others here.

At least we should stay until Lady Xiahou usurps the throne.

Last year, or should I say the year before last, the electric chair I bought on Double Eleven the year before last stopped working. I removed the battery and mailed it back, and it worked again after I replaced it.

It’s good to have after-sales service.
