Volume 4: The Sleepless Snake Chapter 12: The Four Heavenly Masters and the Eight Altar Masters!
When Lao Wang saw the people blocking the road ahead, his heart skipped a beat.
There were at least fifty people on the opposite side, all of them on horseback, and all of them were armed with long firearms.
Although his side also has firearms, there are fewer people.
There was also a horse-drawn carriage.
It’s really like you can’t beat him, and you can’t run away either.
Although he was frightened and nervous in his heart, Lao Wang remained calm on the surface and clasped his hands together.
"Which boss is it? I am Wang Changfeng, the old man, greet you all."
As Lao Wang spoke, he took out a roll of silver dollars wrapped in red paper from his sleeve.
Fifty silver dollars were neatly wrapped, and the red paper was extremely conspicuous in the snow.
Lao Wang held up his hands with a smile on his face.
"The New Year is coming soon, and I will not let you go for nothing. This is a small gift. You can use it to buy some wine. If it's not enough, please tell me and I will find a way."
The Wang family, starting from Grandpa Wang, has chosen the path of "harmony brings wealth".
In the words of Mr. Wang, our family is a businessman, not an escort agency or a martial arts school, so we don't need so much prestige. Moreover, even if we are an escort agency or a martial arts school, is it really as impressive as it looks?
It’s better to be polite and make friends.
More friends mean more paths, and you never know when they may come in handy.
Mr. Wang's statement was completely inherited by Old Wang.
But sometimes, the truth is one thing, but the reality is not the same.
Then the leader who was blocking the road let out a strange laugh.
"How dare I accept the Wang family's gift?"
"I'm here to propose marriage, so naturally I need to give the Wang family a big gift."
"Of course, my brothers and I are as close as brothers, and my brothers must also participate in this great gift."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around him started laughing.
Weird.
Unscrupulous.
Old Wang retracted his hand and put the silver dollar wrapped in red paper away.
Six narrow little finger-sized darts appeared in his palm. The smile on his face remained unchanged, but his hand trembled.
whoosh whoosh whoosh!
Puff puff puff!
The leader, along with the ones around him who were laughing the loudest, all stopped laughing abruptly.
There was a dart stuck in his throat and blood was gushing out.
Lao Wang took action, and the guards around him did not hesitate either, raising their guns and shooting.
Different from the previous hire.
More than half of the guards this time are elders from the Wang family.
Many of them are family-born children.
There is no problem with loyalty and ability. When the master of the Wang family was alive, he was willing to spend a lot of money. Otherwise, the eldest daughter of the Wang family would not have been able to escape from the city.
Bang bang bang!
There was continuous gunfire and the horses were galloping.
Lao Wang took the lead, swinging the long sword in his hand repeatedly.
Although firearms are sharp, they are slow. After one shot, they are far less fast than a knife.
Except for a few people guarding the carriage, the rest of the people rushed forward with Lao Wang.
After two rounds, the group of people blocking the road were killed.
Except for two unlucky guys, the worst-case scenario among our people was that they were injured. It was a complete victory.
But there was no joy on Lao Wang's face.
Something is not right.
It shouldn't be that simple.
Lao Wang is definitely an old hand and he noticed something was wrong right away.
"Return to the city."…
Lao Wang shouted.
But the next moment, everyone was dumbfounded.
Those gangs who had just appeared and were shot and hacked to death by them actually stood up again.
Including the six who were shot to death by Lao Wang's darts.
Not only did he stand up shakily, but he also let out a series of roars.
Not human.
Like a beast.
Lao Wang felt a chill down his spine.
This is an encounter with an alien!
Who is it?
Which one is it?
Old Wang's mind raced, and he immediately ordered the formation to close and the muskets to be reloaded with bullets. He calmed the restless horses, protected the carriage, and said loudly again: "Who is trying to play a joke on me? Wang Changfeng is blind and does not recognize a great man. I am willing to pay with my life. Please let my young lady go."
Lao Wang had no intention of fighting at all.
That is a stranger.
What does he use to fight?
These two moves of his are more than enough to deal with ordinary people.
It is easy to deal with those who have practiced martial arts.
But against a stranger?
That's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.
If it weren't for his young lady being behind him, Lao Wang would have already knelt down and begged for mercy.
Lao Wang has a loud voice and is full of energy.
The sound spread far away.
But no one answered.
Only the resurrected corpses were screaming.
It was the coldest time of the year and the guards around were sweating profusely.
The sweat beads flowed down the forehead and seeped into the eyes, causing a burning pain, but no one dared to blink or wipe the sweat, for fear that the corpses would rush up if they were not careful.
The corpse continued to move forward.
Getting closer.
When he was less than ten steps away from the carriage, Lao Wang raised his gun.
He was ready to fight to the death.
He had to carve out a way for his lady.
Just when Lao Wang's momentum reached its peak, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Let your young lady go?"
"Simple."
As he spoke these words, a figure appeared behind the corpse. He looked like he was wearing a Taoist robe, but his face was sinister, and his triangular eyes contained a murderous light that seemed to be real.
Behind him were two men, one tall and one short.
The tall one looked like a bear man, tall and strong, with his shirt off in the cold weather, a body full of muscular tissue mixed with large chunks of fat, and a ferocious face.
The shorter one was as thin as a three-inch nail, small and thin, wearing a small cotton jacket and pigtails, but his face was like an old man, especially the pair of steel claws on his hands, which gleamed coldly in the sun, which was frightening.
A simple voice made Lao Wang's momentum stagnate.
The appearance of these three people caused a commotion among the hired guards nearby.
First of all, the three of them were too weird.
Secondly, the appearance of the three people made the hired guards think that the situation had turned around.
We are all here to make money, who would work so hard for no reason?
It is better not to try too hard if you can.
Lao Wang felt this change and secretly groaned in his heart.
If I had some confidence in breaking out just now, now I have none of it.
We still have to have our own people!
Outsiders can’t be trusted!
Although he was complaining in his heart, Lao Wang had to continue the conversation.
"You say."
"Hand over the person who killed Yuan Lai."
Yuan Lai?
That evil Taoist!
People from the 'Way of Immortality'!
Lao Wang reacted instantly, and his heart sank. …
It's okay for ordinary people, at least they still have some chances, but for people from the "Eternal Life Dao"... they will really die here.
Damn it!
Damn it!
Knowing that he had offended someone from the 'Eternal Life' sect, he still dared to be so careless!
Master, Wang Changfeng is sorry for you!
Old Wang's inner thoughts became more and more intense, and then the curtain of the carriage was lifted, and Wang Xiaofeng, the eldest daughter of the Wang family, walked out.
"Miss, please don't come out."
Lao Wang tried to stop him in a hurry, but at this time, he couldn't stop him at all.
As soon as Wang Xiaofeng appeared, the Taoist priest opposite laughed.
"Not bad, not bad."
"The primordial yin has not been lost, it is really a good medicine."
"I have changed my mind. Even if you hand over the person who killed Yuan Lai, I will still take her away. It is rare to find such a good medicine in Fengcheng."
The Taoist muttered to himself.
Lao Wang's face changed.
It’s not because the Taoist priest on the other side broke his promise, but because of the Taoist priest’s words.
To be precise, it is the word "Tianshi".
The 'Changsheng Dao' is undoubtedly a cult, but it also has its own rules.
The highest one is naturally the 'Dao Lord', also called the 'Dao Zun'.
In addition to this person, there are the four heavenly masters, named after the east, south, west and north.
Next are the eight altar masters, named Jia, Yi, Bing, Ding, Wu, Ji, Geng and Xin.
Since the other party called him "Celestial Master", he must be one of the four Celestial Masters of the 'Eternal Life Dao'. The two people beside him are either his guardians or two of the eight great altar masters.
Lao Wang’s expression became more bitter.
The aliens can’t beat him.
The aliens from the 'Eternal Life' sect are even more difficult to defeat.
Now the opponent is one of the four heavenly masters of the "Eternal Life Dao", so there is no hope at all.
Lao Wang finally reacted.
One of the four heavenly masters of the 'Eternal Life' sect has already taken action, but they have gone to the trouble of bringing so many gangs together. Naturally, this is not to test their small merchant family.
It should be to guard against the 'Hu Family' in the west of the city.
How to prevent it, Lao Wang doesn’t know.
But Lao Wang knew that the 'Hu Family' in the west of the city would not be able to appear in the short term.
Lao Wang guessed this.
Wang Xiaofeng also guessed it.
The eldest daughter of the Wang family was not intimidated by the Taoist priest of the Way of Immortality. She smiled, cupped her hands, and said, "Does this senior have any misunderstandings with the Wang family?"
When she mentioned the misunderstanding, a hissing sound came from the eldest lady of the Wang family.
The snake hisses.
Uncle Liu!
Lao Wang reacted immediately.
Then, a look of joy appeared on his face.
If Uncle Liu had come, the situation would have been different.
At this time, Lao Wang didn't think much about why Uncle Liu didn't even leave Xianjialou before, but was willing to follow his young lady now. Lao Wang just wanted to give his young lady more chances of survival.
It would be best if everyone could survive.
"Oh."
"You're scaring me with a long worm?"
"If it was the old fox in the west of the city, I would give her some points."
"Is this a long worm?"
The words were not finished, but they spoke for themselves.
Wang Xiaofeng didn't say anything else, but a small translucent snake appeared on her shoulder.
"You idiot, what are you doing pretending to be?"
"If I, your grandfather, had not taken the path of a guardian deity, would you dare to appear before me, your grandfather?"
Uncle Liu has a sweet mouth.
The old Taoist did not deny it.
"If you had opened a hall, even the smallest one, I would not dare to appear in front of a fairy like you who has practiced for thousands of years. But who told you not to open a hall?"
"and……"
"You are also injured. No, not injured. It's the injury you got when you shed your skin and tried to become a dragon, but you were struck by lightning. It has never healed."
The old Taoist raised his nose and instantly figured out the truth.
Then the old Taoist started laughing.
"Not bad! Not bad!"
"If that little girl is a good medicine, then your demon spirit can be called a precious medicine!"
“I didn’t expect to have such a harvest.”
"Yuanlai, ah Yuanlai, you died so happily!"
The old Taoist said this with a wave of his hand.
The corpses of those gangsters who had come back to life rushed forward.
Bang bang bang!
The royal guard pulled the trigger.
The bodies fell to the ground one by one under the impact of the bullets.
But he got up again immediately.
The guards panicked.
This thing can’t be killed, what should I do?
puff!
The long knife in Lao Wang's hand cut off the head of a corpse, and the corpse suddenly stopped moving.
In an instant, Lao Wang found the flaw.
"Behead!"
Lao Wang shouted.
The panic was immediately calmed down, especially when the corpse's head was chopped off, and it immediately became motionless. The guards completely calmed down - they were all doing this, and although they didn't want to fight to the death, they must not shrink back when it was time to do so.
Otherwise, you won’t be able to work in this industry.
Why?
The reputation is ruined.
Puff puff puff!
The Wang family's own guards and hired guards had seen these resurrected gangs chopping them up like vegetables - they looked scary, but after finding their weaknesses, they realized that these resurrected gangs were weak on the inside.
Not only is it slow, it's also brainless.
Most of the gang members who came back from the dead were "killed".
The old Taoist was not in a hurry and made a gesture to the two people beside him.
"roar!"
The tall, strong and fat one rushed forward with a loud roar, and ran like a mad wild boar. The two guards couldn't dodge and were hit by him. They flew up with a sound of broken bones. The guard who had reloaded the bullet in the distance was about to pull the trigger, but he felt a pain under his body. He lowered his head and found that the short and thin dwarf who looked like a monkey was pulling out his intestines with his hands wearing steel claws.
ah!
With a scream, the guard fell to the ground.
The brave ones were willing to risk their lives to give the dwarf a ruthless blow, but the dwarf was too fast and disappeared as soon as he crouched down. They raised their guns in vain, but found nothing.
The tall, fat man who launched the charge raised a royal guard and was about to tear the other person to pieces.
Woo!
In the dull sound.
A translucent tail as thick as a water tank swept across.
The tall, fat man was knocked flying.
The short and skinny dwarf didn't move away either.
The two men flew back.
The old Taoist who had been waiting for an opportunity rushed forward with a sinister smile.
"Decide it for me!"
The old Taoist threw out a yellow talisman.
The yellow talisman turned into yellow light in mid-air, nailing onto the half of the transparent tail like a laser. …
Immediately, the tail stopped moving.
The old Taoist's eyes lit up as he looked at the thick black fog rising from behind Wang Xiaofeng. The tail was sticking out from the black fog.
"I'm waiting for you!"
"Come, come, let me see what kind of worm you are!"
As the old Taoist said this, he walked towards Wang Xiaofeng.
Woo!
In the black fog behind Wang Xiaofeng, a huge snake head comparable to a locomotive suddenly emerged and spewed out a mouthful of black fog.
The old Taoist was immediately enveloped.
But the old Taoist laughed even happier.
“It’s poisonous!”
“Okay, okay!”
“That’s great!”
"It is indeed a precious medicine. With you and some other auxiliary medicines, this Heavenly Master will be able to refine a furnace of 'True Dragon Pills'."
The laughter was hearty.
The old Taoist raised his hand and two cards appeared.
One of them turned into a rope and was put around Uncle Liu's head.
One of them transformed into a five-meter-tall strongman who grabbed one end of the rope and dragged Uncle Liu out of the black fog.
This is not the end yet. To be on the safe side, the old Taoist priest has another [Treasure Card] in his hand.
He didn't know why, but he felt a little uneasy from the beginning.
Especially after showing the two [Treasure Cards], the uneasiness made him feel cold in his heart.
Moreover, after taking out the [Treasure Card] that had been kept in the bottom of the box, this uneasiness not only did not disappear, but became more and more intense.
The old Taoist was extremely puzzled.
What...is going on?
