In a short while, the fire burned through the deck and spread towards the next floor.

At the same time, the passengers in the cabin quickly sensed the danger and rushed out one by one.

Peng!

The hull on one side of the merchant ship was pierced by a huge force, and wood and iron sheets were scattered into the river.

Immediately, a large hole appeared on the hull.

Standing in front of the big hole with Jin Xiaobao in his arms, Wei An leaped forward and landed on the river, then stepped on the tide with his foot, his body jumped up high, like a flying swallow climbing to a high place, and then It landed firmly on the top of the mast.

"The fire..."

Wei An's face was calm, and he looked around, and soon saw Li Taiping.

Surrounded by several companions, she quickly fled to the deck.

But at this moment, the deck was full of fire, and there was no place to stand, and several people hid at the stern.

"Princess, the fire is unstoppable, let's jump off the boat and escape."

The young man who was shaking the fan turned his back and signaled Li Taiping to climb up, and he would carry her and escape from the sea of ​​flames.

Li Taiping hesitated, looked left and right with his eyes, as if he was looking for something.

"Princess Taiping!"

Suddenly, a voice came through the flames.

Li Taiping and the others were taken aback, they raised their heads to look at the sea of ​​flames that was so close, they didn't expect that the crimson flames suddenly parted from the middle, revealing a scorched road.

A figure slowly walked over.

Young Master Fan Shaker's expression changed, he stood in front of Li Taiping, and shouted, "Who are you?"

The figure quickly revealed its true face, a middle-aged man with a square face, bald head, wearing a fiery red monk robe, wearing Buddhist beads, clasped his hands, with a serene expression.

"Could it be you, Thirteen Stick Monks!

"

The boy who shook the fan changed his face in horror, and the expression on his face was only filled with boundless fear.

The red-robed monk ignored him, his eyes fell on Li Taiping, he stretched out his hand, and said gently: "Princess, the poor monk is here to welcome you."

Li Taiping's eyes flickered, his silver teeth clenched tightly, he shook his head and said, "I, can't go with you."

The red-robed monk was a little confused and said, "Princess, you are watched by Wu Cansi every day, and you are played with in the palm of your hand. The false Zen king Wu Yutian is even more suspicious of you. She can even kill her own son cruelly, and get rid of you." It's just a matter of time, why would you stay with them?"

Li Taiping pursed his lips, and said loudly: "She is my mother after all."

The red-robed monk shook his head and sighed: "It seems that the princess has been deceived by them for too long, and she is a little delirious. If so, the poor monk can only take you away by force."

After finishing speaking, the red-robed monk stepped forward.

"stop!"

The Fan Shaker screamed loudly, but his body kept retreating.

Suddenly, he gritted his teeth, jumped backwards and jumped off the boat.

Seeing this, several other people jumped out of the boat one after another, some fell into the water, and some used light kung fu to step on the waves and rush towards the shore.

"Did you see, none of the young masters and ladies accompanying you are your friends, they just want to sell you in exchange for power, they can't wait to chop off your head and dedicate it to Wu Yutian and Wu Cansi."

The red-robed monk walked up to Li Taiping and sighed.

Li Taiping lowered his head, unable to refute.

The family knows their own affairs.

She is Li Shizong's most beloved daughter, and her mother is the Zen king who usurped the throne that originally belonged to her brother.

In order to regain the throne, her elder brother launched a coup, but Wu Yutian beat him lightly and gave him death.

Since then, the royal family of the Li family has withered rapidly, and no one has the ability to compete against Wu Yutian.

210 The Thirteen Stick Monks, Unwavering Loyalty!

"I can't go with you."

Li Taiping looked at the red-robed monk who felt extremely oppressive, with an extremely firm expression.

"Oh, it's not up to you."

The red-robed monk smiled faintly, "The meaning of the existence of the thirteen stick monks is to protect the royal family of the Li family! Poor monk, I will never let the princess suffer any harm again."

In Chanzhou, everyone knows the legendary story of "Thirteen stick monks assisting the Zen king".

Back then, His Royal Highness, the eldest son of Chanzhou, was originally Li Shizong's eldest brother, but Li Shizong was extremely talented, versatile in both civil and military affairs, treated people generously, loved the people like a son, gradually stood out, and even made great achievements, he was suspected by his elder brother and tried to assassinate drop him.

Li Shizong fled all the way and met thirteen monks!

It was with the help of the thirteen stick monks that he broke through the siege and changed his fate against the sky.

Later, Li Shizong launched the Xuanwumen Change, got rid of his eldest brother, and ascended the throne of Zen King.

Since then, the thirteen stick monks have become Li Shizong's most trusted force.

Even though Li Shizong passed away many years ago and the power of the Li family fell, the thirteen stick monks remained loyal.

It is precisely because of this that the thirteen stick monks cannot be tolerated by Zen King Wu Yutian, who regards them as rebels and wishes to get rid of them quickly.

"Princess, offended."

The red-robed monk stretched out his hand and grabbed Li Taiping, at this moment, a flat voice suddenly came.

"Why are you lying?"

The red-robed monk's expression changed, and he suddenly raised his head, only to see a figure slowly drifting down, falling into a sea of ​​flames.

But when that figure descended, the sea of ​​flames under his feet was extinguished, and a layer of frost formed on the deck of the Jiaohu Lake.

"You are……"

The red-robed monk narrowed his eyes slightly, and saw clearly the young face of the man, and there was a boy behind him.

It was Wei An and Jin Xiaobao!

Seeing this, Li Taiping was overjoyed, quickly ran to Wei An's side, and saluted: "Senior, please help me."

Wei An calmly said: "My agreement with you is that if you are in danger, I will take action. But this red-robed monk has no intention of harming you."

Li Taiping continued: "If I am taken away by him, then I will become a defector, and I will be hunted down endlessly for the rest of my life. This red-robed monk is trying to harm me."

Wei An squinted at the red-robed monk, curled his lips and said, "Monk, can you hear me clearly? He really doesn't want to go with you."

The red-robed monk remained indifferent, and only said: "The authorities are confused but the onlookers are clear. The princess is in danger, but she doesn't know it. The poor monk can only take her away from the sea of ​​suffering and let her see clearly."

Wei An understood, rolled up his sleeves and said: "It seems that we can't make sense, so let's see the truth under your hands."

The red-robed monk looked at Wei An carefully, and slowly opened his clasped hands, with crimson flames beating in his palms.

Seeing this, Li Taiping quickly reminded: "He has the 'red lotus bloodline', and he practices the Buddhist bloodline technique "Secret Code of Karma", which can release the terrible red lotus karma fire, which has the power to destroy the world."

Wei An nodded.

In fact, as soon as he got close to the red-robed monk, he knew that he had the blood of the fire system, and he was definitely a master at playing with fire.

Therefore, Wei An flipped out his butcher's knife and chose the martial art of "Six Ice Emperors" to deal with it.

In "Six Tactics of the Ice Emperor", Wei An also found an ice-attribute talent to complete the simulation, and now he has mastered the sixth tactic "Returning on a Snowy Night".

This type of knife technique is very terrifying, and the artistic conception presented comes from the ice emperor's old age.

At that time, the Ice Emperor was a lonely old man who saw through the world, lived a wonderful life, buried his wife, and sent away his children and grandchildren.

The Ice Emperor used to have everything, but with the passage of time, he lost everything.

Once a guest in the world, return home on a snowy night!

The ice emperor finally understood the meaning of life.

It turns out that you and I are both travelers in the endless snowy night, just a wave in the long river of time, passing by, passing by, and finally we all return to ashes and ashes to ashes.

Wei An took a deep breath and swung the butcher's knife.

A monstrous chill rose into the sky!

All flames go out in the blink of an eye!

The merchant ship, which was about to collapse due to the fire, suddenly turned into a block of ice.

The red-robed monk's expression changed drastically, and he retreated violently, plunged headlong into the surging river, and sank to the bottom.

"..."

Wei An's knife-wielding hand paused in the air, with a look of admiration on his face.

The red-robed monk sensed the horror of Wei An's knife at the first time, and chose to run away very decisively, which can be called astute.

But at this scene, Li Taiping was completely shocked.

To be honest, that red-robed monk is very powerful. He had just advanced to the first-rank realm a few years ago, and he was unstoppable with the red lotus fire.

Wu Cansi encircled and suppressed the red-robed monks time and time again, but all of them returned without success, and he was defeated repeatedly.

She never expected that a strange young expert she met by chance could force the red-robed monk back with one blow. If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, no one would believe it.

Now Li Taiping is very sure that Wei An is definitely not young, he is an old monster who has lived for hundreds of years.

Afterwards, Wei An carried Jin Xiaobao on his back, took Li Taiping with him, left the ice-withered merchant ship, and landed on the shore.

They bought horses in nearby towns and rode on.

Two days later, a large number of royal family guards arrived one after another, found Li Taiping, and took her away.

Wei An declined Li Taiping's invitation, took Jin Xiaobao, boarded another merchant ship, and continued upstream.

day by day...

The merchant ship continued to move forward on the Shule River, and finally arrived at the ancient city of Mogao in a few days.

Wei An first settled Jin Xiaobao in a hidden mountain village more than a hundred miles away, and then went to the ancient city of Mogao alone.

The strong wind blows and the yellow sand rolls.

Looking from a distance, the tall and towering city walls are mottled all over, filled with the vicissitudes of the long years.

Wei An slowly entered the ancient city of Mogao, and looked intently, there was no prosperity as imagined in the city, no tall buildings, no pedestrians.

The ground here is dirty, without any traces of repairs. After the strong wind swept through, the sky was suddenly covered with yellow sand, which made the Lakers' sight impossible.

The buildings in the city are all earth-embryo houses, dilapidated, as if they could be blown down by a gust of wind.

A few passers-by wore robes and hats, and covered their faces with cotton cloth, only showing a pair of eyes.

They lead camels or horses, and their accents are so heavy that it is difficult for outsiders to understand.

Wei An was walking on the street, and the excrement of camels and horses could be seen everywhere along the way.

No one cleaned it.

The fresh feces will soon be dried by the wind and sand, turning into slag, and then scattered with the wind, entering thousands of households.

Soon, Wei An walked into a restaurant.

All of a sudden, the smell of distiller's grains, fishy smell, mutton smell, sweaty smell, all kinds of smells are mixed together, rushing towards the face.

Wei An frowned, but still walked in.

There were seven or eight tables in the restaurant, and there were people sitting at three of them. They were all big men with beards.

"Guest officer, please, what do you want to eat?"

The shop waiter greeted him, took off the towel on his shoulders, wiped a table, and signaled to Wei An that there was no one here, so he could sit down.

211 Sao Nian, you don't have to work hard in this life!

Wei An sat down calmly, and casually asked the waiter: "What delicious food do you have here?"

The waiter in the shop continued: "There are white-cut mutton, beef, big bone meat, original flavor, and sorghum wine."

Wei An was silent, and said, "Here is a plate of beef and a pot of sorghum wine."
