Chapter 12: A Sword
A shout has faintly surrounded the bamboo forest, and the red light of the torches is everywhere, and the old swordsman Xiao Hongyu has completely exhausted the oil at this time, and he staggered to his knees. It was only at this time that Xiao Hongyu raised his head weakly and glanced at Yang Li carefully: "It turned out to be Ah Li...... It's all dead, and you're the only one left, this ...... Is...... Providence! …… Take this...... Run! As he spoke, Xiao Hongyu took out a tightly tied cowhide bag in his arms, closed his eyes and thought about it again, only took out a thin silk book inside, stabbed and tore off the beginning of the silk book, stuffed most of the remaining silk books and another book into Yang Li's arms, held the cowhide bookbag and said to Yang Li in a hoarse voice: "Take it and run for your life with all your might!" For the rest, just look at the providence! ”
Yang Li grabbed the old swordsman's arm tightly: "Swordsman, I'll run away with you!" Xiao Hongyu shook his head: "I have used the secret technique that will end up together, and I have long been dead, so I will delay for you here for a while." There must be an ambush on the periphery, so be careful! If...... If you can survive, don't forget the academy and ...... Only...... Live this life according to your own heart! ”
"Sword Master Xiao!" Yang Li's tears welled up, and he knelt heavily in front of the old sword master and kowtowed: "The student is going to run for his life, sooner or later, the student will take revenge on the academy against Yan Zhitang, who is careless of people's lives!! ”
The old swordsman sat cross-legged on the ground with difficulty, looking at Yang Li, but his eyes were full of complicated expressions: "Go!" Don't delay......" Yang Li put away the silk book and looked at the old swordsman with tears in his eyes: "The student is leaving!" Swordsman...... Go all the way. ”
Looking at Yang Li, who was trembling and gritting his teeth, the old swordsman took out the remaining volumes in the cowhide package, trembled and took out a fire fold, but thought in his heart: "Senior Brother Wang...... Is this a sin of bosom or providence? Mending the heavens, after all, it is still in the hands of this heavy pupil, I didn't destroy the silk book, because I was unwilling! The blood feud of Hanzhang Academy...... Heavy Hitomiko...... Heavy Hitomi ......"
Yan Zhitang's commander coughed sullenly, quietly wiped away a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, and coldly looked at the old swordsman Xiao Hongyu who had died of anger in front of him. The old swordsman sat cross-legged on the ground, holding a corner of the silk book in one hand, most of the silk book had been burned, and at the old swordsman's feet was a small pile of burned books and a fire fold. Fortunately, the raindrops were falling from the sky at this time, and the flames were extinguished, otherwise I am afraid that this time I would not even be able to pick up these burnt papers beyond recognition.
The old swordsman should have used some side door secret technique before he died, and suddenly his cultivation rose sharply and almost killed the commander on the spot! If he hadn't reached out and grabbed a subordinate on the side as a shield, the old swordsman would have completely abolished him by breaking his sword and killing people. Even so, an extremely sharp splinter pierced the body of the subordinate in his hand and shot into his lungs! The commander forcibly suppressed the internal injuries and led people to chase them all the way to this bamboo forest, but only picked up a few pieces of burned silk and shredded paper.
Yang Li, who was in the distance, stopped to look at the boulder where he was hiding with wine not long ago, and wiped the tears and rain on his face. He knew that there must be an ambush of Yan Zhitang's killers in front of him, and after resting invisibly behind the boulder for a while, Yang Li got up and fled quietly towards the depths of Jinyun Mountain along the side of a small dirt ridge......
Yang Li is dreaming...... Over and over again, the nightmare was like a cold and merciless millstone, crushing his heart over and over again! The senior sister of Yuzheng in the dream is still as beautiful as that night. Standing next to a big tree in plain clothes, he looked at himself in surprise and escaped! I was going crazy with joy, and I rushed to Sister Yuzheng not far away! "You're alive! You're still alive, Sister Yuzheng! Jade Zheng ......"
It was as if the world had ended at this moment! Fear and pain suddenly turned into a snow-bright and cold long sword, and like lightning, it pierced into Yang Li's left chest, and the long sword pierced through his chest! And the one holding this sword in front of her is the senior sister Yuzheng that Yang Li has always admired!!
Senior Sister Yuzheng's expression slowly became cold and calm, as if she was looking at a meaningless old dress, and then she took out her long sword and said loudly behind Yang Li: "Yan Zhitang embroidered clothes envoy, secret jade zheng, here to the commander to return to the commander!" ”
The moment the long sword left his body, Yang Li's soul seemed to leave his body with the blood-stained sword blade, Yang Li didn't feel the pain, only knew that his body fell heavily on the wet ground, and the jade zheng senior sister on his side was kneeling on one knee with a fist and bowing her head in salute. Yang Li's eyes were wide open, but he couldn't speak, and his confusion and anger were beginning to tear apart his soul!
At this time, the commander had already led a group of masters to catch up with Yang Li's clues...... At this time, the commander's face became more and more pale and cold, and he looked coldly at Yang Li, who was pierced by a sword on the ground: "Search!" "Yes!" Another henchman who survived under Xiao Hongyu walked over and looked at the jade zither kneeling on the ground first, then stretched out his hand to carefully and quickly search for Yang Li's already cold and stiff body, turned around and bowed and saluted: "Lord Commander Hui, there is nothing!" ”
A trace of disappointment flashed in the commander's eyes, and he looked down at the jade zheng kneeling on the ground, as well as the five Yan Zhitang killers who silently appeared behind the jade zheng. opened his mouth and said to the jade zheng: "You are the jade zheng?" Yu Zheng bowed his head and replied, "Subordinate Jade Zheng." The commander nodded: "Good job, the jade seal of the pseudo-Han Dynasty court you found and some secret books have all been obtained by this official, you have been undercover in Hanzhang Academy for several years, hard work, go back to Bianliang City with this official to be an embroidered envoy!" The rewards of the officials and the hall masters are indispensable to you. ”
Yu Zheng bowed his head and arched his hand: "Thank you for the commander, my lord, Yu Zheng obeys orders!" ”
Yang Li's eyes were still wide open, and the rain was getting heavier and heavier to wet his body, and Yang Li watched as Senior Sister Yuzheng stood up and silently followed behind the commander, gradually moving away. I didn't look back at him until the figure disappeared! And the two big hands suddenly grabbed Yang Li's stiff body at the same time, and one of the killers frowned: "The heart veins have been pierced, why haven't you died yet?" An inexplicable hint flashed in the eyes of the other person, but he smiled and said, "Then make up for it again!" As he spoke, this person grabbed Yang Li and picked it up, and suddenly slammed his palm into Yang Li's chest wound! Poof", Yang Li's seven orifices and the wound behind him instantly burst out with several bloods! Yang Li didn't say a word, and hung softly on this person's hand like a rag, and there was no longer a trace of life.
The other person next to him couldn't help but pout: "What are you doing to torture this dead man with your hands and feet?" It's got dirty blood everywhere, so you can dispose of the corpse yourself! The man carrying Yang Li's corpse smiled indifferently: "I'll go, I'll go, throw it into the ditch and feed the wild things, feed the insects is also feed, feed the jackals is also feed, this kid is doing good deeds." The rest of the people smiled, and let the man carry Yang Li's body to a deep and narrow stone valley next to it, and the man looked down: "This bottomless bird place, just make a coffin for you kid!" As he spoke, he threw Yang Li to the bottom of the valley. At this moment, there was a thunderclap in the sky, and a downpour of rain poured down!
Yang Li's dreams seemed endless, trapping him in this memory and tormenting his soul! The body seemed to have turned into a cold mountain rock, scorching for a while and freezing for a while, Yang Li remembered that the fierce palm almost seemed to shatter his own internal organs, but it did not kill himself! When I was thrown into the deep valley, I still seemed to have a trace of consciousness, and then ...... Yang Li, who fell, completely passed out.
I don't know how long it has been, and the pain has gradually turned into numbness, and then into a dead darkness. Yang Li seemed to suddenly feel a trace of pain coming from his heart! A chaotic voice drifted through the dead darkness: "You should wake up and open your eyes!" Wake up...... Wake up...... Wake up......"
The voice echoed in Yang Li's mind, and the pain in his heart became more and more intense, and Yang Li slowly opened his eyes with all his might...... In a blur of light and shadow, a vague figure stood in front of him, the figure saw Yang Li open his eyes, so he lowered his head and looked carefully, his eyes couldn't help but show a look of surprise, "It's really so ......", Yang Li seemed to want to speak, but the man in front of the hospital bed nodded: "You are still too weak, sleep for another day!" After saying that, he pointed behind Yang Li's ear, Yang Li shook slightly, his open eyes slowly closed, and he fell asleep again.
On the evening of the second day, Shahai stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, looking thoughtfully at Yang Li, who woke up but didn't say a word. He said, "I saved your life, and you owe me a life." ”
Yang Li on the bed looked at the thatched roof with two godless eyes without blinking, and waited for a long time before asking in a hoarse voice, "Who are you?" Why save me? Shahai thought for a moment: "I'm just entrusted by someone. A carriage dropped you off the night before yesterday, and then the carriage took my daughter...... The man in the car told me, "You live, my daughter lives together, you die, my daughter dies together," and then he left. ”
Yang Li's stiff face finally had a trace of waves, and he snorted coldly: "Interesting...... I now have no father, no mother, no teacher, no friends, only one enemy who enjoys glory and wealth in Bianliang City, who will save me? Shahai said, "Live well!" I'm going to trade you for my daughter. With that, he turned and walked out of the room.
Yang Li was still lying on the bed expressionlessly, the cold pain in his left chest felt like a knife was tearing his heart, Yang Li smiled coldly, and remembered the bamboo forest in Hanzhang Academy, as well as the boulder in the bamboo forest. The old swordsman's share of what he gave him before he died should have been well hidden under that boulder.
"Jade Zheng!" Yang Li's eyes gradually became cold...... "I just want to ask you, do you still have a trace of humanity?" Yan Zhitang ......"
