Chapter 19: I Killed!
In the silent night, Li Yitian and Zhou Gongyi carried light skills, and their bodies were like two cheetahs running low and flying in the woods.
They ran from a hill to the Swallow Mountains under the cover of vegetation.
In the quiet valley, Li Yitian seemed to hear his own heartbeat.
It pounded uncomfortably against its chest and made a "pounding" sound.
Li Yitian swallowed his saliva and clenched the long sword in his hand. Although the last time he captured Mo Lin, he experienced a battle formation.
But at that time, he was running away the whole time, and there were people around him secretly protecting him.
Although he was also frightened by the scene of flesh and blood flying and corpses everywhere, he only knocked out some soldiers who stood in his way in the end.
After all, Mo Lin was chasing after him, and Li Yitian didn't dare to pause too much.
So after a war his hands are still clean.
This time, at the thought of someone dying under his sword, Li Yitian couldn't help but feel a panic in his heart.
Li Erniu, the tongue-pulling ghost in Swallow Mountain, feels that he is lucky.
It has been two months since he joined the famous "Yanshan Thief", and in the past two months, his companions have often died, but he is still alive.
Li Erniu is an outcast, who has committed theft.
When I first came to the mountain, I was glad that I could eat enough every day and eat wine and meat for half a month.
However, a month later, a Ranger is chased by a Saw Ghost to their hideout.
The defeated rangers probably knew that they were going to die, gave up their defense, and frantically swung their knives at one ghost face after another.
They desperately fled, and behind them were one fallen figure after another.
Suddenly, a knife flashed, and a knife flew over, and Li Erniu watched the head of his partner who fled with him fly up into the sky, and a stream of blood spurted out of his neck and sprinkled on his body.
The mutilated corpse also slowly fell, and Li Erniu sat on the ground in a daze, feeling that death was so close to him for the first time.
There is a tongue-pulling ghost senior who has lived for a long time to comfort this frightened junior and say: "Don't be afraid, just get used to it."
The people who come here are people who can't live, or have nowhere to go, so where can you go?"
"yes. Li Erniu muttered to himself: "Where can I go when I leave here?"
From that day on, he was no different from the evil spirits of the mountains, and they robbed the women who came up the mountain with wine, meat, and women, and indulged in revelry, because he did not know when his life would end.
Tonight, Li Ergui is going to go on a night patrol, and everyone must patrol the night twice a month, otherwise they will be executed to show the public, and the way of death is the same as his own ghost face.
This is the rule in the mountains, to prevent everyone from being afraid of death and refusing to go on a night patrol.
Li Erniu once saw a living example of a newcomer who was thrown into a hot oil pot and blown up alive because he broke the rules.
A grim ghost with scalded skin and bloody flesh wailing in the boiling oil pot is Li Erniu's lifelong nightmare.
Li Erniu put on his tongue-pulling ghost mask and hid his personal short knife.
Then he formed a night patrol team with four tongue-pulling ghosts and two sword mountain ghosts, and began to patrol the mountains with torches.
Li Yitian and Zhou Gongyi hid in a tree and watched intently at the night patrol team passing under the tree, this team of people had four tongue-pulling ghosts and two knife mountain ghosts.
They were all ordinary people, except for the two tongue-pullers who seemed to have some superficial skills.
But they don't even have a "high platform" realm, which is far worse than Zhou Gongyi.
Zhou Gongyi looked at Li Yitian and made a gesture to wipe his neck, and Li Yitian nodded to show that he understood.
Zhou Gongyi pointed at Li Erniu again, and made a gesture to speak, meaning to leave him as a living trick to ask for information, Li Yitian nodded again.
So Li Yitian took a deep breath, and the two of them shot down from the tree at the same time.
Li Yitian swung his sword, and the head of a tongue-pulling ghost rolled down, and the blood spurting from the corpse's neck splashed on his face.
He didn't have time to be afraid, because there was a sound of breaking wind behind his head.
Li Yitian hurriedly turned sideways to dodge, dodging this knife full of murderous intent, and took the long sword in his right hand and spun an arc of light. “
The bell sounded, but the sword was blocked by the other party, although the opponent's body staggered back again and again, but after all, he was not injured.
It seems that this knife mountain ghost knows some kung fu, and another tongue-pulling ghost also sacrificed his life to pounce, and the short knife in his hand showed a chill in the moonlight.
Subconsciously, the Long Yuan sword technique in Li Yitian's mind unfolded, swinging the sword like a dance, and his body was elegant.
The sword light filled with Senro's killing intent easily passed through the body of the tongue-puller, and his blood splattered in the air like a flower blooming on the other side of death.
The Daoshan Ghost only blocked two blows before being cut off by Li Yitian.
Then Li Yitian floated to Li Erniu's side, let him stab the short knife, and reversed the hilt of the sword to hit Li Erniu on the back of the head, knocking Li Erniu unconscious.
Then Li Yitian floated over again to help Zhou Gongyi end the battle in which he already had the upper hand.
Zhou Gongyi looked at Li Yitian, and his eyes flashed with envy, and he praised: "Brother Xian is good at kung fu." ”
Li Yitian waved his hand and said, "Big brother praised it." ”
When fighting with the enemy, Li Yitian only felt that his heart was beating faster and faster, his skin felt the dangerous aura from the tip of the enemy's knife, and in addition to panic, there was more of a ferocity to kill everything.
Maybe this is what the folk call "killing red eyes".
At this time, Li Yitian calmed down, looked at the corpses in one place, thinking about the scene when he killed someone, the horror in the eyes of the tongue-pulling ghost in front of him before he died, Li Yitian's hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
It was as if something had been lost in his heart. The sweat on his body soaked his night clothes, and the night wind blew through it made Li Yitian feel a little cold.
Zhou Gongyi looked at Li Yitian's current appearance, hesitated for a moment and said, "This is the first time that the virtuous brother has killed someone?"
Li Yitian nodded and said with a wry smile: "Let the eldest brother see it." “
Zhou Gongyi took out a small wine gourd from his waist and said, "Brother Xian, just come and drink two sips of wine slowly."
It's like this for the first time, you just need to remember that we kill people who should be killed, and we are worthy of our conscience. “
Li Yitian took the wine gourd and hurriedly poured two sips of wine, but accidentally choked himself.
The wine was spicy, as if a red-hot knife had been plunged into his throat.
The burning and stinging sensation in his throat stimulated his brain, and for a moment his hands stopped shaking.
Li Yitian poured another sip of wine, returned the wine gourd to Zhou Gongyi and said, "Thank you for your care, I didn't expect that this wine is really strong enough." “
But he muttered to himself: "It turns out that this is what it feels like to kill someone." ”
Zhou Gongyi also took a sip, his face full of intoxication: "Don't tell the virtuous brother, my wine is a local wine bought in a tavern, but brother, I really haven't drunk a stronger wine than it."
That's why every time I want to kill a thief, I go to the tavern and get a gourd of local wine. This wine is so delicious!"
The two cut off the heads of the two Daoshan ghosts and took them away, pulled Li Erniu to the mountain stream, and splashed him with water to wake him up.
Li Yitian put the sword around his neck, and the two began to ask about the distribution of thieves in the mountains, but Li Erniu would rather die.
So Zhou Gongyi stuffed a sackcloth into Li Erniu's mouth, and with a flash of sword light, one of Li Erniu's little fingers was cut off.
Li Erniu's eyes bulged, the green tendons on his neck were exposed, and he opened his mouth wide and made a "hmm" sound with a sackcloth in his mouth.
Zhou Gongyi's eyes showed a fierce light, and his tone was very spicy: "If you don't say it, I will take you away from everything."
Ten fingers cut and toes. All of these are cut, and if you don't say anything, you will cut them up from the ankle one by one.
You must watch your body shatter inch by inch. ”
Li Erniu nodded hurriedly, and he didn't even notice that Li Yitian's long sword drew a small bloody hole on his neck.
Li Yitian on the side pulled out the linen cloth in his mouth, he was not shocked on the surface, but he was a little frightened in his heart.
First the murder, and then the torture inflicted on Li Erniu by Zhou Gongyi, both of which constantly stimulated his psychological endurance.
He let his stomach churn and a strong vomiting sensation hit his throat.
This Jianghu, where everyone was playing all the way, finally showed its hideous fangs to Li Yitian on this bloody night, and the smell of blood on the fangs was so strong.
Li Erniu opened his mouth and knew everything about Li Yitian and the others, and he just asked the two of them to give him a good time in the end.
Zhou Gongyi asked everything he wanted to know, and the two of them were silent for a while.
The situation on this mountain is more complicated than I imagined, and the thieves are constantly moving, and there are distributions on various hills.
They are often mobilized by the command of the latter six ghosts.
Each of the last six ghosts can only mobilize a part, and only the Ten Hall Hades know all the circumstances of each transfer.
Just when the two of them relaxed slightly, Li Erniu suddenly turned hideous, opened his bloody mouth and bit Li Yitian.
He already knew that he was going to die, and he thought that before he died, he would not lose money by bringing someone to the funeral, and it would be good to bite into human flesh.
Li Yitian reached out with his right hand like lightning and grabbed Li Erniu's neck, and his five fingers contracted and twisted hard.
only heard the crisp sound of broken bones "boom", Li Erniu's head tilted, ending his ordinary life.
Unlike the last killing, Li Yitian was surprisingly calm when he killed this time.
He could even feel the beating blood vessels on Li Erniu's neck in his palm, and the hard touch of his neck bone when his palm contracted and forced.
He could even feel the fracture of his neck bone, but his heart was extremely calm without the slightest emotion, as if his soul had become numb and accustomed to the death of others.
At that moment, he was the messenger of death, and a person's life was so despise for him.
He whispered the words a second time: "So that's what it feels like to kill." “
Zhou Gongyi looked at Li Yitian, and there was a hint of strangeness in this young man who he thought he had already seen through.
He knew that every warrior would go through this kind of transformation. Only after experiencing this transformation can Li Yitian have a deeper understanding of the weight of the word Jianghu.
Li Yitian proposed to go to the mountain gathering point in Li Erniu's mouth to have a look, and Zhou Gongyi thought about it and agreed.
At that moment, the heads of the two sword mountain ghosts rushed away with Li Yitian.
The two of them ran to the entrance of the cave, which was quite secret, and there were two people with guns waiting at the entrance of the cave, and there was a faint fire in the cave.
The two took off the ghost face on their heads and put it on their faces and walked towards the entrance of the cave, and when they walked to the entrance of the cave, two spears were pointed at the two of them, and one of the ghost faces stopped the two and said, "Password!"
Li Yitian opened his mouth and said in a slightly hoarse voice: "Don't enter the living." ”
The ghost-faced man nodded and said, "Hundred ghosts walk at night." After confirming their identities, the guards relaxed visibly and asked them, "There should be seven people in a team, but what about the rest of your team?"
Li Yitian replied to him in a hoarse voice: "They are all dead, I don't know when they died, the two of us scattered and fled back." Damn, that's bad luck!"
There was a smile in the ghost-faced man's voice: "You two are running so fast, it seems that you are an experienced old man."
Okay, stop complaining, it's good to be alive. Those who are dead are unlucky, and they can't even let out a fart. Let's go inside. ”
Li Yitian and Zhou Gongyi entered the cave, and after a cursory observation, there were about 100 people in the cave.
Some were sleeping, some were drinking and chatting, some were torturing the traders they had caught during the day, and some were abusing the women who had taken them captively.
Everyone in the cave wears ghost faces, which is just like an ugly and vivid picture of a hundred ghosts.
In the middle of the cave is a high platform with various exquisite utensils, like a mixture of the living room and bedroom of a large family.
There are three people sleeping on the top three beds, another three people are sitting and practicing on the stage, and three people are drinking tea and laughing on the stage, scanning the surroundings from time to time.
The nine people all have ghost faces, and there are three types of ghost faces: "Dead Ghosts, Torture Ghosts, and Volcanic Ghosts", and there are three people in each type of ghost face, and it seems that they are the mysterious masters among the Yanshan thieves.
They exist to prevent people with high martial arts skills from coming in and slaughtering ordinary bandits.
The two of them observed and felt that it was not appropriate to do anything here.
They all closed their eyes and pretended to sleep, and when the day was a little bright, the two of them pretended to go out to relieve themselves, and found the hidden head and went down the mountain.
