Chapter 19: Seven Days
Jiangnan is always full of vitality, although the remaining strength of summer has burst out, but the small bridge, flowing water, the appearance of people will never change, and the quiet and peaceful town is a portrayal of the entire Jiangnan. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info
Meteor, yes, he has been called a meteor since more than ten days ago, a meteor, destined to be dazzling for a while, but I don't know when it will fall, maybe for a long time, maybe soon, maybe it will fall in front of you and me, maybe it will fall between you and me.
The sword was in his hand, yes, it was still the one wrapped in cloth, maybe he wanted to hide the sharpness of the sword. He went to Suzhou, which was the general altar of the Jiangnan Martial Arts League, the residence of Liu Peng, the leader of the alliance, and he could live in Suzhou City so blatantly, naturally he was powerful and fearless. He was right, the Silver Lance Dart Bureau had become the current Alliance Leader Villa, and there were dozens of Liu Peng's cronies in it, and it was impossible for outsiders to break in. His power is based on strong financial resources, and the so-called officials and the people are embarrassed to defend each other, which refers to him, and almost half of the power of Suzhou City is in his hands.
Meteor knew that it was very dangerous to want to blend into Suzhou City, under the quiet and peaceful surface of Suzhou City, there were countless eyeliners hidden by Liu Peng, any excessive actions would attract his attention, especially those who were not in the Jiangnan Martial Arts League, the only way was to wait, wait for the opportunity to appear, and wait for the opportunity to enter the Martial Arts League.
On the third day, he found that there were more eyes around him, he was very concerned, what he knew was that he seemed to be stared at all the time, but he couldn't find it, he also knew that he was not exposed, he didn't do anything at all, it shouldn't be exposed, he decided to respond to all changes with the same and continue to wait.
On the fifth day, he came to an inn outside Suzhou to eat as usual, or a plate of beef, a plate of vegetables, a bowl of rice, a pot of wine, this is his habit for many years, today, he still has not done anything, not even the intention of entering the city, he knows that someone has been watching him in the dark for five days. In the inn, unlike usual, it was very deserted today, maybe it was the reason for the three people, yes, the three people had been here for three days, one was a young man in black, with an easy-going face, who didn't seem to like the coarse tea and light food here, and looked quite reluctant every day, a brightly dressed son, with a folding fan around his waist, gold-edged jade inlay, seemed to be very precious, and a burly boy, but their target was obviously not a meteor, because they had never looked at the meteor from beginning to end, and every time the meteor saw the three people in front of him, he would be stunned, and then seemed to remember something, and then lowered his head。
That night, Meteor came to the room of the three people, he wanted to find out, and when he saw that the three were not there, he sneaked in quietly and hid on the beam, so that even if he was discovered, he could break the roof and escape, and then he kept waiting, waiting for the three to come back, what he had was patience, the only thing he had learned in the past few years was to wait.
The moon moved, the shadows of the trees swayed, the night gradually deepened, and the three of them came back as usual, all with sad faces, sighing, and suddenly the black-clothed young man pointed at the folding fan boy and scolded: "It's all because of you, Zhang Xu, if it weren't for you, Wenwen would have married me a long time ago, how could she escape?"
"Hehe! Zhou Heng, don't talk nonsense, Wenwen and I are childhood sweethearts, if you hadn't hindered you halfway, how could there be such a thing? I haven't settled accounts with you yet, you asked me first" The folding fan boy also roared angrily.
"What? you want to fight?" roared the young man in black.
"Fight, fight, I'm afraid you won't succeed?" said that, the two pulled up.
"Okay, don't quarrel with the two of you, everyone has been playing with my sister since I was a child, and the relationship is very deep, and now the question is not who the sister marries, but to find the sister first" The burly young man looked at the two and said.
"Hmph, for Li Ba's sake, I won't care about you," the young man in black said.
It turned out that these three people were Liu Peng's second-generation protégés, Zhou Heng, Zhang Xu, Li Ba, this Zhou Heng is the son of Zhou Gongqu, the master of the famous Taihu Gate in the south of the Yangtze River, Liu Peng accepted Zhou Heng as an apprentice in order to accept the Taihu Gate, and also stayed by his side as a hostage, Zhou Gongqu had no choice but to wait for Liu Peng's orders, Zhang Xu is Liu Peng's adopted son who has followed Liu Peng since he was a child, helping him take care of the dart thing, very capable, and this Li Ba seems to be useless, but his arm strength is amazing, and his brute strength is very good, he is the younger brother of Li Qiang, the ghost head knife, and the two brothers are loyal。
After listening to the conversation between the three of them, Meteor had already guessed that the three of them must have quarreled because of Liu Peng's granddaughter Liu Yawen's marriage, presumably Zhou Heng and Zhang Xu had been fighting for Liu Yawen, but at this time Liu Yawen escaped, these three people have been wandering around here these days, it seems that this Liu Yawen is here, thinking of this, Meteor smiled, he knew that his opportunity had come.
On the seventh day, this small inn outside the city of Gusu is still as calm, or a plate of beef, a plate of vegetables, a bowl of rice, a pot of wine, the meteor sits like this, among the many guests, one of them has attracted the attention of the meteor, is a girl as big as him, the appearance is very cute and charming, she didn't order anything, just sitting, the meteor looked at her, she also looked at the meteor, the two looked at each other for a long time, as if they were acquaintances, the girl seemed to be a little emotional, several times wanted to stand up, but never got up, the meteor slowly lowered her head, no longer looked at her, and the girl still looked at the meteor whose face had been covered by long hair, the meteor knew that she was Liu Yawen, Liu Peng's granddaughter。
At this time, a man dressed in black, wearing a straw hat, and holding a cane walked straight towards Liu Yawen, the man in black blocked the meteor's sight, and the meteor knew what the two were talking about, but the distance was too far to hear clearly. Suddenly, I only heard Liu Yawen shouting, and then, the table in front of the two of them immediately shattered, and Liu Yawen's long sword was already unsheathed, glaring at the person in front of her. Seeing the two fighting, the guests next to him scattered in all directions, only Meteor was still eating beef with his head down, but he ate a little reluctantly, as if he was thinking about something.
Look at the two again, the more fierce the fight becomes, the man in black has a crutch to make a tiger and a tiger, and he suppresses Liu Yawen's long sword, although Liu Yawen's swordsmanship is fast and aggressive, but she has always been at a disadvantage, Liu Yawen's sword mage Cheng Ling Tian, fierce and abnormal, mixed with a bit of Tai Chi swordsmanship, is actually both offensive and defensive, but this man in black doesn't seem to care at all, not only suppressed Liu Yawen's offensive, but also kept teasing her, Liu Yawen was very angry, in Suzhou City, where did she suffer so wronged. Looking at the attacking force of the man in black step by step, the meteor seemed to be a little unbearable, but he really hadn't seen the man in black in front of him, and after thinking about it again, he still didn't make a move.
Suddenly, the man in black roared angrily, and suddenly scolded, "Yo, little girl, is the uncle too soft-hearted?" After speaking, he repelled Liu Yawen with a palm. Then he looked at the wound on his arm and said to himself, "Hehe! What a Ling Tian Nine Style, I didn't expect your little girl to learn the Three Styles."
Liu Yawen reluctantly stood up and said, "Who are you?"
"Hehe! It's better for acquaintances to give up resistance, I won't hurt you, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless," the man in black laughed.
As soon as these words came out, Meteor suddenly thought of the iron rod ghost head of the Tianlong Gang Ghost Sect, that's right, Meteor thought right, this person is the iron rod ghost head, Meteor didn't expect the Ghost Sect to send him out to perform the task, as far as he knows, this iron rod ghost head is an important person in the Ghost Sect, and he has won the appreciation of the ghost bat, the master of the door, in recent years, some assassination missions have been carried out by him, and his strength should not be underestimated, but the meteor has only heard of it, and has not seen it. You must know that although the four side doors of Tian, Luo, ghosts, and killing all belong to the Tianlong Gang, they do not interact with each other, except for the contact between the door masters, the rest of the people are just completing the tasks assigned, and the four side doors also have contradictions and differences, and it is common to fight openly and secretly.
"So you want to use me to threaten grandpa? Hehe, do you think I'm going to let you get away with it?" Liu Yawen is not a spineless girl.
"Very good! Then don't blame the uncle, I won't pity the jade, hehehe!" said that, the strange laughed a few times, and then wanted to make a move, obviously he was not a patient person.
Liu Yawen couldn't help but be a little flustered when she heard the cold, and then turned her eyes to look at the meteor, as if she had something to say, but the meteor still didn't mean to move, and still looked at it indifferently.
As if noticing Liu Yawen's eyes, the iron rod turned his head to look at the meteor, and suddenly stopped, "You want to get in the way?"
Meteor didn't speak, just shook his head.
"You don't dare, you'd better be nosy," roared the Iron Rod Ghost.
Liu Yawen had tears in her eyes, but it was not a desperate expression, just sadness, as if she was blaming Meteor for not saving her.
"Although I don't want to do it, I still want to persuade you not to move her, it's not a wise move to move her in Suzhou" Meteor said slowly, seeing Liu Yawen crying, he seemed a little unbearable, for some reason, hearing his words, Liu Yawen actually smiled, as if she didn't realize that she was in danger.
"Haha! It's not up to you to decide" As soon as the words fell, she suddenly shot out, and hit out with a cane, without even turning her head, Liu Yawen was defenseless, and when she reacted, it was too late, and even the person with the sword was knocked down again, but this time she didn't seem to have the strength to get up anymore, and fainted directly.
This time, the meteor couldn't hold back any longer, and flew forward, blocking in front of Liu Yawen.
"Good boy, you are really impatient, dare to block the way of the uncle" The iron rod ghost shouted.
"Ghost Birthgate, Iron Rod Ghost Head, right?" Meteor said slowly.
"Huh?" he was a little surprised to see his identity revealed.
"This man is mine, you can't move," Meteor continued.
"Boy, who are you?" asked the Iron Rod Ghost.
"I'm just a nobody," Meteor said.
"In that case, why did I hand this man over to you?" the Iron Rod Ghost Boss clearly didn't pay attention to the meteor.
"Anyway, you'd better walk away today" Meteor didn't retreat.
"Are you threatening me?" asked the Iron Wand Ghost.
"This is a piece of advice, for the sake of the Celestial Dragons," Meteor said.
"Hehe, then it's up to you," he said, and waved his cane.
The iron rod waved, it was the wind gusts, strong and powerful, the meteor did not dare to slacken, a long sword kept resisting the attack in front of him, the sword was still wrapped in cloth, still not out of the sheath, seeing that more than ten rods were blocked by the meteor, the iron rod ghost head was a little surprised, and finally began to get serious, he found that the kid in front of him was not as weak as he imagined, but a master, after all, the iron rod ghost head followed the ghost bat for many years, the experience of the rivers and lakes is quite deep, seeing that the meteor skill is not lower than his own, he immediately began to make strange moves, sometimes the left hand first hit the dark dart, and then continued to attack, sometimes use the wave of the iron rod to bring up the table, chair and bench, and hit the meteor in the face together, Sometimes it is even more despicable, directly attacking Liu Yawen who fell to the ground, trying to distract him, and the meteor saw this, although he was angry and angry, but his heart was already clear about his strength, although the iron rod ghost head did have some ability, but compared to the meteor at this time, he was too far behind, you know, the meteor has grown a lot in the killing gate, including in the mission of assassinating Yu Xuzi, he has also learned a lot, and he knows this meteor better than anyone else. And for such a despicable villain as the Iron Cane Ghost Head, only the Tianlong Gang will reuse it, so why bear it? Meteor is regarded as an enemy, without much thought about it is already a sword out of the sheath, want a victory, the sword out, that is shocking, where is the opponent of the iron rod ghost, with a roar, the iron rod ghost head is cut off half of the palm, but this iron rod ghost head is really worthy of the ghost bat heavy person, although there is only one hand left, it is still an offensive unabated, there is no intention of retreating, see this meteor where can still take care of the face of the Tianlong Gang, in an instant, it is a burst of sword light, the sword qi is even in the sky, the fast sword of the meteor has already surrounded the iron rod ghost head, only a moment, it will hit thirty-six swords around it, cutting off the meridians of his hands and feet, although it will not take his life, But his many years of skill are wasted, a set of swordsmanship is finished, and the life of this iron rod ghost is probably almost coming to an end, looking at the iron rod ghost head who has been unable to get up, Meteor sighed, picked up the unconscious Liu Yawen, and slowly walked into the darkness.
Liu Yawen woke up when it was already dark, it was raining outside, the raindrops kept beating the bricks and tiles, making rhythmic sounds, she was lying in a broken temple, there seemed to be no one beside her, she seemed to have slept for a long time, because it was already dark, suddenly remembered what happened during the day, she lucked her luck, and found that she was really injured, she looked up and saw the meteor that had been sitting outside the door, the meteor was facing away from her, but she knew that it was him, he would not be wrong to give her feeling, she tried her best to stand up.
"You'd better lie down, if you receive a cane from the head of the iron rod, it won't be so easy to get good if you don't die" Meteor still turned his back to her, and he didn't look back.
"I knew you were going to save me, the second time, it's God's arrangement" found out that it was Meteor who saved her, she seemed to be very happy, and what she said was very emotional.
"I think you've mistaken someone, my name is Meteor"
"No, I believe my intuition, you are Mo Xiaotian, do you know, since we parted from Sword Villa, I have been thinking of you, I have been looking for you all these years, but I have searched all the places, but I can't find you, I really miss you" After speaking, her tone was a little choked, as if she was crying.
"I'm just a shooting star" That's right, he's a shooting star, that's his code name.
"Nonsense, you can't fool me, you don't give me the feeling that you can't deceive" She was very sure and insisted.
"Do you really trust intuition?" Meteor asked.
"That's right, you've changed, your hair has grown, you're taller, and your body is stronger, but your eyes won't change, your unique coldness and fierceness, but I don't understand why you're a little more sad, what have you experienced in the past year?"
Meteor didn't speak, he did go through a lot this year. In order to find Leng Yunxi, he joined the Tianlong Gang, but he didn't know that Leng Yunxi followed Xiaotian and belonged to the Heavenly Gate, and he was killing the Gate.
"I've been observing the inn for the past seven days, you are my Xiaotian, you can't be wrong, why don't you admit it?" she cried again.
Meteor was still silent, did not speak, and added a little sadness to his eyes.
It turned out that in the past seven days, the pair of eyes that Meteor felt came from her, Meteor was silent, and he didn't speak for a long time, maybe he didn't want to make any more senseless explanations, and maybe her intuition was right, but who can say for sure? Intuition is always the first criterion for us to perceive things, it is our most primitive instinct, but maybe it is not only an instinct, but also the hope of our survival.
