Chapter 20: Life and Death, Lost
The secluded forest is from the line of the humble curtain Ping, Luohe is void Cen Bamboo Garden, Lushui Ting tincture, Ying Chanming, Jingmu, Ning.
Yumo is a drunken soul stone, Poria Longling, Liao Jinhong, Qiongyu Wu Zheng, Rui Tuoying, Xiu He, Xiao.
The sky is clear, the breeze blows the hills, and the sky is wide and lush.
In the depths of the mountains adjacent to Zhuxian Town, under the lush dense forest, there is a path overgrown with wild grass that few people know, and the figure hurriedly walks through the wild grass with people in a day.
The slightly stumbling figure hurried for a distance, stopped, turned around and looked hard back, except for the lush trees that could not be seen at a glance, there were no pursuers.
Scold!
Uneasy, he turned around and jumped up on the tree again, looking in the direction he had come, intending to further confirm whether there were any pursuers chasing him. The idea is good, but the moment I am on the tree, I feel how stupid and ridiculous I am.
On the ground, the view is limited, and when you get to the tree, how much better is it than below?
The vision above the relationship is not as good as the career below, and the dense branches and leaves almost cover the space tightly, and nothing can be seen, let alone scout to see if there are pursuers, except for the leaves that are full of leaves.
Miscalculation!
How to ignore this stubble!
It seems that he has been chased by people for a while!
Scold.
He returned to the ground and looked back again, but there were no pursuers as far as his eye could see. Flick your mind, listen carefully, except for the sound of the wind blowing leaves, there is no suspicious sound, sniff carefully, and do not feel the smell of people, always feel that it seems to be a little strange, there seems to be nothing.
Never mind!
Maybe it's because I've been tired these days, and I'm too tired!
"Divine Stone, Divine Stone!"
Gently patted the trap box on the back!
"It's still your charm, there are so many people in the rivers and lakes who worship under your pomegranate skirt!"
His words are true!
He didn't expect it badly!
"This river and lake is really sinister, I regret a little bit that I took your job for such a little money!"
To know that this trip will be like this, I will make more points.
"Master, I've never done a loss-making business, but I didn't expect to not only lose money this time, but almost even put my life into it!"
No, when the delivery is delivered, I must make him pay double the honorarium, or I will be sorry for my name as the king of darts.
"Divine Stone, Divine Stone! Everyone in the rivers and lakes says that you are a treasure, and everyone wants to get you, but in my opinion, on the contrary, you are simply a disaster, and you yourself say yes or no? ”
……
"What? No! Tell me about you, since you are in the world, how many people have fought and fought hard for you, and how many people have lost their good lives and their families have been ruined; How many people have abandoned their families and businesses to bear your dart, and how many people have been chased and killed for thousands of miles, exposed to the wilderness, and died in a foreign land..."
Alas!
People's hearts are not enough to swallow elephants, sharp words are the head, and there are many grievances.
"Since you see it so clearly, you are still in this troubled water, aren't you asking for hardship, self-inflicted, and self-inflicted!" Suddenly, inexplicable words echoed in the quiet woods.
"Who? Who? Who? Who's talking? The King of Darts jumped into the wide clearing, his fists clenched, and he was on guard in case someone suddenly attacked.
There was silence, and after a moment of silence, the mysterious voice sounded again.
"Smart people, there should be smart people's choices, the twists and turns have been seen clearly, so why be too persistent!"
"Who? Who's talking? "The King of Darts is highly nervous, alert to the movement of the surrounding woods.
Silence fell into silence again, and the mysterious voice did not respond.
"Who? Who's pretending? Have the ability to come out face to face in the open, don't be like a turtle with a shrunken head, just hide behind your back and pretend to be a ghost! The King of Darts shouted angrily, intending to force the people hiding in the shadows to appear. But after waiting for a long time, there was no movement, the people hiding in the shadows had no sound, the dart king was so angry, yes, it's okay now...
It seems that he has been targeted by someone for a long time, this person has been following him for so long, he has not even noticed it in the slightest, it seems that this person's tracking is not ordinary, and the person who is tracking himself in secret, I am afraid that he is not an idle person!
Since when?
When you take orders yourself?
When you set off on your own?
On the outskirts of Ten Mile Rain Alley?
Halfway through a transfer point on your own?
Or maybe when you just entered the mountains...
Terrible, terrible!
The back of the dart king's neck is cold, and his back is a little sweaty, a terrible opponent!
It seems that the closer you get to Zhuxian Town, the danger suddenly increases. If you want to enter Zhuxian Town easily and deliver the task of this dart trip, I'm afraid it's not an easy task!
As far as the current situation is concerned, the real trouble is coming, the real hunt, the real snatching war, I am afraid that it will be really staged!
I have stepped on the edge of danger, and it seems that I must be serious!
Sand...
An extremely faint sound could be heard in the woods.
The King's ears jerked.
Someone!!
"Friend, since you're here, why be sneaky?"
……
Bang bang bang ...
After a moment of silence, sparse applause rang out from the depths of the woods behind him.
Rustle...
There was another sound from the woods behind him, and the sound was getting closer and closer, and a vague figure flickered in the dense forest, from far to near.
Cai Sichen!
The moment someone appeared, the dart king's heart sank!
How could it be him?
How did he end up here?
How did he know I was here?
For a while, the thoughts in my mind were a little untidy and messy.
Cai Sichen, one of the top killers of the "Undertaker", the number one killer organization in the rivers and lakes, has a pair of judges with two pens in his hands, strong martial arts, especially tracking skills, profound attainments, rampant in the rivers and lakes, rarely convincing people, and his eyes are empty, and the people in the rivers and lakes gave him a nickname "Divine Shadowless".
"Why, I haven't seen you for a few days, and I don't know each other, Sikong Shu, Sikong Darthead?" Cai Sichen hugged his arms, tilted his head, his eyes were bright, and he stared at Sikong Shu in the middle of the clearing with a smile.
"Yo! This is not the famous Divine Shadow, Cai Sichen, Cai Daxia. Look at what you said, I don't know anyone, and I can't help but know you Cai Sichen Cai Daxia! Sikong Shu greeted him with a smile and brought a big tall hat to Cai Sichen first.
"Yes, you don't need to bring me a top hat, I am a dignified killer in the rivers and lakes, and I have always used people's money and people to eliminate disasters, how can the word hero be insulted!" Sikong Shu's compliment, Cai Sichen didn't buy it.
"I don't know if the Venerable Rider is here..."
"Sikong Shu, you and I are both smart people, so why pretend to be confused?" Cai Sichen did not go around in circles, and went straight into it single-handedly.
"Your Excellency is still holding up someone in the sky, I am just a martial artist, and I have always been able to act simply and simply, please make it clear!" Sikong Shu smiled and said humbly.
"Ha, hahahaha..."Cai Sichen looked up to the sky and laughed, "Sikong, Sikong, you, it's really rare to be confused, ah?" ”
"Born in troubled times, it's rare to be confused!" Sikong Shu sighed softly.
"Then, Sikong, I don't know how you plan to be confused now?" Cai Sichen turned affectionately and broke through the key point.
"Oh? I don't know how you want to be confused, Brother Cai? Sikong Shu arched his hand, but there was a strange look on his face.
"Whether you want to be confused, whether you want to be confused or not, how you want to be confused, that's your own business, it's up to Brother Sikong to decide on your own!"
"But, you should know better, I'm a dart walker!" Sikong Shu broke through the "embarrassing" reality in one sentence.
"Trees die, people live! Brother Sikong should have heard of this sentence! ”
"Oh? I don't know how a tree dies and a person lives? ”
"Interesting, isn't it?"
"It's boring!"
"Tell me, how can I hand over the divine stone behind you?" Cai Sichen gradually lost his patience, and decided not to go around in circles, cut in single-handedly, and went straight to the point, knowing the purpose of his coming.
"Oh, Brother Cai, you are really straightforward!"
"What's your answer?" A glint flashed in Cai Sichen's eyes.
"What good is it for me to give you the Divine Stone?" Sikong Shu touched his chin and asked rhetorically.
"Ten times as much as you'll be paid!" Cai Sichen gestured.
"Ten times? Hahaha, hahahahaha..."Sikong Shu couldn't help laughing, "Ten times! A tenfold better! Do you know what the value of this dart is and how much it is? ”
"Me, give it down?" Cai Sichen couldn't help but be stunned.
"This trip has a hedging price, and it has run away! What do you think it should be? ”
"Oh!" Cai Sichen frowned, the divine stone is precious, and it is expected that the employer will bid a lot of money this time, but when Sikong Shu's words came out, Cai Sichen was also surprised, how could he never have thought that the employer would spend such a large amount of money.
If the hedging price of this dart is really as Sikong Shu said, then the real commission value of this dart...
Could it be...
"How? Brother Cai, how do you want to move the tree to death and the person to live? Sikong Shu stared at Cai Sichen tightly, but the expression on Cai Sichen's face was nothing unusual.
"Hah! I didn't expect Brother Sikong to be really bloody! Cai Sichen's words are intriguing and meaningful, and I don't know whether they are sarcastic or praised.
"People like us lick blood all day long to support their families, danger is everywhere, if we don't have a book, where will we get the capital to support our family, where will we get the funds to make a living?" Sikong Shu said faintly.
"Then, you should consider accepting my suggestion, Brother Sikong, what do you say?"
"Then, after you have discussed, let's talk about it again!" Sikong Shu spoke very seriously about you, and at the same time, swept the surrounding dense forest with his fingers.
Well?
There was no shadow of the gods, and Cai Sichen's eyes were vigilant in the surrounding dense forests.
"Everyone, since you're here, why bother to hide, since you're all here for the Divine Stone, please show up!"
Speaking Flo, there was the sound of squirming footsteps in the surrounding dense forest, and then, several figures were gradually revealed, but they were all covered by black veils, and they couldn't see their faces clearly.
"I said, it's been so old for a long time, you say, you two grind or not, ah? Like an old! "Some people can't stand it, Sikong Shu and Cai Sichen are talking nonsense for a long time, and they have gone around in circles, and they have no nutritional connotation.
"Cai Sichen, if you come to grab the Divine Stone, you will say that you will come to grab the Divine Stone, what kind of bend, you really think that after reading a book for a few days, you will regard yourself as a literati!"
"It's so grinding and chirping, it's really like the style of the top killer of the No. 1 killer organization in the rivers and lakes "The Undertaker"! ”
"Humph! How can you people be better than me? Sneaky, shrunken. In broad daylight, you still cover your face, afraid of revealing your identity? Ha, you people call yourselves heroes, heroes, heroes, and swordsmen...... It's really, really, really, just like what you're dressed up today!! Cai Sichen was also unabashed, sneering at each other, and his father ridiculed these masked people, "If you like it, then good, you guys come!" ”
"Yo he! It's a good faction of righteous words, I don't know, I really think that you Cai Sichen is under the right path? In the face of Cai Sichen's ridicule, someone spoke back.
"That's right, I'm a killer, what's the matter, I'm doing the right thing, I'm walking at the end, I've never shrunk my head and tail, and I'm not able to see people!" Cai Sichen looked righteous and awe-inspiring, and people who didn't know about it would definitely be admired by his posture.
"I say, guys, you're not here to fight, are you?" Seeing this fierce war of words, someone couldn't help but remind him to bring the topic back.
"Damn, I was led astray by this guy!"
"Serious business! Serious matters! ”
"Sikong Shu, hand over the box behind you! In this way, you may have a way out! ”
"For this hot potato, for those two stinky copper plates, you were chased and killed all the way, and you may even lose your life, is it worth it?"
"There is a way, those who know the times are Junjie, for yourself, but also for the safety of your family, and for your long-term reputation of "darts in the world", Sikong Shu, you have to think twice! ”
These mysterious masked people, you say a word to me, because of the situation, and tempt each other, I want Sikong Shu to give up this dart, obediently hand over the box behind him, and hand over the divine stone.
"Hahahaha..."Sikong Shu suddenly burst into laughter, "It's a good one to think twice, and it's a good one to be ashamed!" First of all, I want to say that, first, I have never seen the sacred stone that you are talking about; Second, the rules of the dart line, never ask what the goods are. So, what are you talking about handing over the Divine Stone, sorry, I, can't do anything! ”
Yikes!
Declined!
Is this a refusal?
Don't know what the cargo is?
, isn't it!
I don't know what the cargo is, what kind of dart do you keep?
What about tricking children?
Who believes!
"Why, listen to this, Sikong Chief Dart, you don't plan to hand over the Divine Stone?"
"I've already said it, I haven't seen the Divine Stone you mentioned! Besides, even if it is really as you said, this box is really what you call the Divine Stone, do you think I will give it to you so easily? So, where is my face to be put in the world? Taking a step back, even if we are trading money and goods, how am I going to explain it to my employer? Do you think employers will let me go easily? I'm going to avoid these senseless pursuits? Sikong Shu hit the nail on the head, and every word was fine.
Old fellow, think far ahead!
It's really good to pretend to be able to brag about yourself!
Hypocrisy!
Not ordinary hypocrisy!
"Sikong Shu, since it is a transaction, it will definitely relieve your worries!"
"All your worries are unnecessary!"
"Oh? What you say is so light! So how can you help me solve my worries? ”
"This, it's not something you should worry about, we naturally have our countermeasures!"
"It's about everything that is up and down in my company, how can it not be reasonable."
"Sikong Chief Dart, you are too worried, you can rest assured that there will be no situation like what you said!"
"Hahaha..."Cai Sichen, who had not spoken, suddenly laughed, with a hint of mockery in his laughter, "Oops! It's so windy here! ”
"Yo he! How did I forget, there's another person here! ”
"Tell me about you people, it's really shameless, do you know the situation of other employers? Do you know who your employer is? What are the forces behind it? What about the status and influence of the rivers and lakes? Just so hastily and casually boasting to others, I changed me, I don't believe your nonsense, I'm really ashamed! Cai Sichen came up with a mockery, but what he said was also the truth.
Indeed, no one present except Sikong Shu knew who the employer of this dart was?
What kind of person is an employer?
How strong is it?
What is the status of the rivers and lakes?
How big is the force?
How prestigious is Jianghu?
Perhaps, even Sikong Shu doesn't know who the employer is?
………
It's still a foggy, unknown thing.
However, one thing should be certain, this employer can get the Divine Stone, which shows that this person is by no means simple, and he is by no means a good person.
In such a situation, no one will believe it if they casually boast about Haikou, not to mention that Sikong Shu is still an old Jianghu who has been in the rivers and lakes for a long time.
And no one knows whether this box contains a divine stone or not!
If it is really as Sikong Shu said, he doesn't know whether the box contains a real divine stone or a fake divine stone, or if there is nothing in the box, everything is just a bait released by someone with a heart to confuse the public, it is still unknown.
The temptation of the divine stone is too strong, and once people's greed is opened, it is often uncontrollable!
Zhuxian Town is deep in the mountains and dense forests, and people from all walks of life come for the sacred stone.
In the face of mysterious people with ghosts, on the one hand, there is the morality of darts in the world, and on the other hand, there is a high-risk temptation where interests and risks coexist, how will Sikong Shu calculate?
The dart of the divine stone, the rivers and lakes howl, it seems to be real and illusory, the fog is heavy, a wave is not settled, and the rivers and lakes are stirring up again.
The seemingly calm Zhuxian Town is already surging in the dark, where will the long-term peace go?
"There are so many of you, but there is only one box, you..."
"Give it to me, I can..."
"Give it to me, I have a better ......"
"Give it to me, don't believe their nonsense..."
……
"Everyone, I think, or you discuss it first to see who wants it, and then, let's talk about it, I don't know what to do?"
"Sikong Shu, good strategy! Why, if you want us to fight among ourselves, you will reap the benefits! ”
"Don't even think about it!"
"Give up on this idea before it's too late!"
"Good! Good! Good! Good! So what do you say? Anyway, there's only one box, what do you think? ”
"Hmmm! But there should be a way! ”
"Gotcha! Otherwise, I'll put this box in the middle, and you can solve it yourself, and I won't accompany you for the sake of your life, and I'll say that the box was robbed by someone when I turn around! As he spoke, Sikong Shu untied the box on his back, stroked it gently, and then put it on the central open space, "Oh, by the way, remind you, if a box is damaged, the mechanism inside will damage the goods in the box, you all take care." After saying that, a scurry stride into the dense forest, three traces and two traces, and then disappeared.
The people present stared at the cloth-wrapped box in the center of the clearing, and the atmosphere around them was condensed, and they each observed the other people's every move with the corner of their eyes, and the strong smell of gunpowder instantly filled the surroundings.
The light of the sword, the shadow of the sword, intertwined, shuttled.
Blood, wheezing, silent, mixed.
Fallen leaves, dust, scars, decay.
Wind, Xiaohe, crying, sorrowful, accidents in the rivers and lakes, stories in the rivers and lakes!
"Demon Lord!"
"How's it going?"
Sikong Shu took the initiative to put down the box and left alone! People from all walks of life are still fighting and fighting..."
"You mean, Sikong Shu put it down on his own initiative?"
"Hmmm! Maybe it's because I saw too many people who came to grab the Divine Stone, and I had some scruples, so..."
"Do you see what's in the box?"
"My subordinates haven't seen it!"
"Then how can you be sure that the box must contain a divine stone?"
"Before leaving, Sikong Shu said that the box contained a mechanism, and if the box was violently broken, the contents would be destroyed! If it is not filled with a divine stone, then why should the employer of this dart go to such a great length! ”
"What is a divine stone, and how can it be so easily broken?"
"What does the Demon Lord mean..."
"Maybe it's a trick!"
"As for it? Taking such a risk? ”
"That's what I think differently about! According to common sense, what was chased and refused to be handed over all the way, why did it hand it over when it was getting closer and closer to the target, and it was handed over on its own initiative, shouldn't it? ”
"After all, there are small fish and shrimp all the way, and they are petty fights!"
"Perhaps! However, I always feel that this matter is not that simple! ”
"Demon Lord, there's one more news!"
"Huh?"
"The first half of the Demon Single Blade Single Blade Sword Technique is already in Jiang Yuheng's hands!"
"Oh? He must have promised Lu Kun something, otherwise, with Lu Kun's style of acting, he would definitely not easily allow people the exercises of the Demon Single-Bladed Single-Bladed Sword Technique! ”
"It's Jiang Xinyu!"
"Hahaha... Jiang Yuheng, I really underestimated him! ”
"Don't worry about him, he can't practice the magic single-blade single-blade swordsmanship!"
"Lu Kun said the same thing!"
"Oh? Ha, what kind of medicine is this guy selling in his gourd? ”
"What about the blood?"
"It's already in action!"
"I can't wait to see the angry expression on Luo Jue's face, hahahaha..."
"In addition, each branch is also ready to move, and it has its own brewing!"
"Let's make trouble! The more messy the better! ”
………
The more chaotic the better, muddy waters, it's good to fish!
