Chapter 140 The wind sweeps the leaves
In the Book of Changes, the line of Zhen is the sixth on the thunder hexagram is written as follows: "Zhen, look fierce and energetic, and confront evil, and the shock is not as good as his bow, and there is no fault in his neighbor." Translated, it means that the thunder shakes, makes people tremble with fear and trembling, and there is a look of uneasiness in his eyes. There will be danger when going out to fight. Thunder and lightning do not hit oneself, hit the neighbor, and there will be no disaster.
When Yi Xingchen thought of this Yao Ci, he couldn't help but feel a stern heart. Yao Ci made it very clear that "evil conscience", that is, if you move forward, you will be dangerous. This danger will not hurt yourself, but it will hurt your neighbor. - Isn't your neighbor the governor? Is the danger ahead targeting the governor?
Just as he thought of this, he suddenly remembered that on the night in Jinzhou, in the back garden of Tang Yiwen's family, he had heard Li Xuehao, Tang Yiwen and others discussing how to assassinate the governor. At that time, they were planning to use a hidden weapon to call "Wind Sweep the Falling Leaves", which could shoot hundreds of flying knives in a fan shape. However, the next morning, these people were killed by Lei Jingang's super hidden weapon "Tian Nv Hua" who came to revenge.
I thought these things would end here because they were all dead, but now the hexagram shows that someone will come to assassinate Governor Li. Could it be someone else?
Thinking of this, Yi Xingchen looked at the swallow's nest. The snake had eaten the young swallows and slipped away. But the two swallows were still flying up and down outside the bird's nest and were unwilling to return to the bird's nest. This suddenly reminded him of a name, - the swallows will not return!
Yi Xingchen remembered that night, in the backyard, the person sent by Li Xuehao to assassinate was named Yan Bugui.
Could it be that the assassin did not die under the scattered flowers of Lei King Kong? Or did he leave before? At that time, Yi Xingchen did not stick his head out to observe, and it was in the darkness of the night, and he didn't know what the assassin looked like. But he remembered his voice. Everyone at the scene was dead and it was impossible to make a sound, so he didn't know if there was Yan Bugui in it. At that time, he thought that the assassin was also among them. Now, from the hexagram, the assassin was Yan Bugui, and it was still a person from the White Lotus Sect who assassinated.
If so, the hidden weapon used by the assassin is the very domineering "wind sweeping the fallen leaves".
I am afraid that no one within dozens of steps will be spared. Yi Xingchen couldn't help but feel his heart in his throat.
The convoy continued to move forward, and after walking through the house on the roadside, he saw a towering tree.
The tree is lush with branches and leaves, like a big umbrella. It is also like an old man with a disheveled head, standing bent over by the roadside. The leaves are too dense and even the sun cannot penetrate. Seeing this scene, Yi Xingchen couldn't help but feel shocked.
I just calculated the hexagram Zhen as the thunder hexagram, and the upper and lower hexagrams are all Zhenmu hexagrams. Among the eight trigrams, Zhenmu hexagrams can represent towering trees. Could it be that the exclamation comes from this towering tree?
But the leaves are too dense to see what is inside.
At this time, Governor Li did not notice that Yi Xingchen was distracted and fortune-telling. He continued to say: "It is rare that you have such insights at a young age. It is indeed rare to be able to clearly see through the true face of the Tianjie Sect. If you can follow me..."
"Give me your shield!" Yi Xingchen turned around and said anxiously to a shield guard walking forward next to his war horse.
The shield was carrying a shield and following the carriage. When he heard Yi Xingchen's words, he was a little surprised and did not realize what he meant.
Yi Xingchen reached out and grabbed his shield and wanted to pull it over. When the shield hand saw that the Jinyiwei wanted his shield, he quickly let go.
Yi Xingchen held up the shield, grabbed the carriage shed by Governor Li next to him with his right hand, jumped onto the carriage, squatted beside the carriage, and raised the shield to block his side.
This shield is rectangular, half a person tall, and is specially used to form a shield wall to block the flying arrows. Therefore, it can cover the entire squatting Yi Xingchen, and also cover the seated Governor Li in the carport.
Governor Li was very surprised and said, "Mr. Yi, are you...?"
As soon as he said this, countless flying knives suddenly shot out from the huge towering tree, densely packed, like wasps blowing down at Governor Li and the surrounding guards.
Whoosh swish swish swish swish!
Screams were endless. Yi Xingchen felt the jingling sound of the shield he was holding beside him, and the flying knife stabbed on the shield was like raindrops. Fortunately, the shield was well-crafted, and even a strong bow and crossbow could not penetrate it.
Governor Li's scream came from his ears.
Yi Xingchen was surprised. Did he still not protect him? But he didn't dare to move at this moment because he knew that the "wind swept the fallen leaves" was continuously firing flying knives.
Yi Xingchen saw the personal guards in front and the constables sent by the local yamen fell to the ground one after another, and his bodies were covered with flying knives. The guards outside the range of flying knives in the distance quickly reacted and rushed over here with their shields to protect Governor Li. While running, many people were hit by flying knives and fell to the ground.
Some of the guards rushed to Governor Li's carriage and formed a shield wall with shields. At this time, the flying knife was finally shot.
Yi Xingchen looked back and found that almost none of the personal guards within dozens of steps behind him were spared. Governor Li's personal guards following the carriage could not escape the misfortune. They died on the ground with flying knives, blood flowing.
Some guards shouted and rushed towards the towering tree. Yi Xingchen saw a black figure flying out of the gap in the big tree, galloping away like a meteor. Governor Li's several powerful martial arts guards shouted and chased him, but the remaining brigade of officers and soldiers surrounded the carriage, fearing that other assassins would appear.
Seeing that the shield wall formed blocked the carriage, Yi Xingchen felt relieved. He looked in through the window and saw Governor Li sitting in his seat, covering his left foot with his hands, moaning in pain. He didn't get a flying knife on his body, so he felt relieved. It turned out that his shield was still a little smaller, and he could not really protect the tall Governor Li. One of his left foots that reached outside was shot by the flying knife. Because the wooden board in the carport was very thin, it was easily pierced by the flying knife and shot his left leg.
Seeing that Governor Li did not hurt the vitals, Yi Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief: "Sir, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, thank you!"
Governor Li lifted the curtain and saw that there were dead bodies everywhere on the ground. Even the few personal guards with great martial arts around him were not spared. They were all shot to death by this sudden flying knife. They couldn't help but feel scared. If Yi Xingchen had not blocked him with a shield, how could he have avoided the assassination of the flying knife?
Yi Xingchen was also shocked by Tang Yiwen's wind swept the fallen leaves. This thing was so powerful. The guards around Governor Li were definitely the first-class masters, but they could not avoid the sudden attack of the flying knife, which shows how powerful it was.
Fortunately, I saw a snake eating the little swallow. The two big swallows refused to go back to their nests. I felt alert and found dangers. Then I took protective measures immediately, otherwise I would not be able to escape the bad luck.
He apologized to the dead shield player next to him. He had just taken his shield, and like other shield players, he was shot to death by the flying knife on the spot. Even if the shield was in his hands, he had no time to use the shield to defend himself. Other shield players like him had shields in their hands, but none of them could use these shields to block the flying knife. Because the flying knife came too suddenly and too quickly, there was no time to react. But Yi Xingchen still felt guilty.
At the same time, he was also very upset. He knew that the White Lotus Sect was going to send assassin to assassin, but he was careless and thought that the assassin was dead, so he could not have happened again. He didn't expect that the man should have left at night, so he was not shot to death by the goddess scattered flowers with Li Xuehao and the others. Finally, he carried out this sneak attack, and he received a warning. The time was too short and he didn't have time to issue a warning.
Yi Xingchen recalled the hexagram he calculated before he came to serve as a guard for Governor Li, the Difengjing hexagram, and the lower mutual hexagram was a great evil for metal to overcome wood. At that time, he thought that this should show that Governor Li was irritable and might make him angry. That's all, but he didn't expect that the great evil of this hexagram actually means that there were assassins to assassinate. It was just because this great evil hexagram was the lower mutual hexagram, and the body hexagram was the upper mutual hexagram, which was not closely related to the great evil, so the degree of great evil was greatly alleviated. Therefore, he did not suffer any harm.
Of course, the hang Zhen that is calculated later is the thunder hexagram, and the Yaoci said that he would not be hurt, and would hurt his neighbor. Sure enough, the neighbor Governor Li was stabbed in the leg and was injured, and the hexagram was fulfilled.
When he thought of the assassin sent by the White Lotus Sect to assassinate Governor Li, Yi Xingchen immediately woke up again and slapped his forehead and regretted it. - The difengjing hexagram before he came before, the lower mutual hexagram is Duijin hexagram, Duijin hexagram represents white, the upper mutual hexagram is Zhenmu hexagram, which represents flowers, and the change hexagram is Kanshui hexagram, which means water. Aren’t these three related ones white lotus?
The hexagram has clearly suggested that the White Lotus Church has brought great danger, but I think that the assassin is dead. Ignore such important news and do not review the hexagram further in detail, which caused this danger.
Thinking of this, he had some conjecture in his mind. The ancestor used the hexagram to remind himself, but the hexagram itself cannot speak, and he had to infer the secrets displayed in the hexagram in order to accurately understand and explain. This time he ignored further analysis of the hexagram. It seems that he should be more careful in the future and study the hexagram carefully, and not ignore the in-depth and comprehensive interpretation of the hexagram.
Governor Li was led by a doctor. Fortunately, this doctor was behind the team and was not next to him, so he was not shot to death by a flying knife. He quickly came over to help Governor Li deal with the knife wound on his leg.
Governor Li turned his head and looked at Yi Xingchen and said, "Mr. Yi, how did you know that there are assassins here to assassinate our mansion?"
Governor Li felt scared and dared to be grateful to Yi Xingchen. At the same time, this doubt arose in his head and asked immediately. (To be continued)
