Chapter 775: All Living Beings Are Suffering, the World Is Like a Dream (Part II)
775、
On a summer hill, the sun is starting to get hot. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info Under the sky, which seemed quiet a second ago, it suddenly became boiling and frenzied, and in the woods scattered with rocks, the crowd of people who rushed out were armed with swords, their faces were hideous, and their roars were like fierce beasts, hysterical, and intimidating.
"him—"
"There's an ambush—"
"Kill him, kill him—"
"Roza—"
Countless shouts intertwined in the roar. Seventy or eighty people are not much, but they suddenly appear in front of one or two people, but they are like a sea of people. Lin Chong's figure was like an arrow, swept up obliquely from the side, and in a blink of an eye, four or five people came towards him, and the first thing to usher in was the flying knives and locusts and other hidden weapons, and these people's hidden weapons were spilled, but they saw that the figure that was disturbing the situation had already come to the front, hitting a person's chest and moving forward.
The person next to him couldn't stop, and only had time to swing the knife hastily, Lin Chong's figure swept by, grabbing a person's neck. He didn't stop, the man staggered back, his body hit the leg of a companion, and he wanted to swing the knife, but his wrist was pressed to the chest by Lin Chong, Lin Chong snatched the steel knife, and slashed it.
The body of the person who was hit by Lin Chong first flew back seven or eight feet away, crashed into a tree, vomited blood, and his sternum had sunken. Here Lin clashed into the crowd, like with a vortex around him, three or four bandits were led by Lin Chong, tripping, he was running, slashed a few times, the enemies around were still spreading past, and quickly stopped, to intercept this sudden spoiler.
The grove was sparse, and Lin Chong's figure walked straight away, and with three swings of his hand, three bandits who met him rolled out with blood on their bodies. There were already seven or eight people in the rear outflanking and chasing, but for a while they couldn't catch up with his speed at all. There was also a master with messy hair holding a double knife and a strange scream on the face rushed over, first wanted to cut him sideways, and when he ran closer, he had already turned into a back, this person screamed and slashed a few times at Lin Chong's back, Lin Chong just moved forward, and the blade was left behind by him, first one step, and then opened up two or three steps away. The master of the two swords chased after him in shame and anger, and his expression became more and more crazy.
This makes the master of the double knife is the "crazy knife hand" Luo Zha on the nearby Tongniu Village, the nine leaders on the Tongniu Ridge, the crazy knife hand ranks seventh, and the green forest is also somewhat famous. But at this time, Lin Chong didn't care who was in front of him, he just rushed forward, a gun-wielding minion stabbed the spear in front, Lin Chong faced the spear, the steel knife in his hand slashed along the barrel of the gun, the blood exploded, the blade cut off the man's hands, Lin Chong's blade did not stop, he waved a big circle and threw it behind him. The spear fell to the ground.
Luo Za originally saw that the thief who was stirring up the situation was finally blocked for a moment, and raised his two knives to run faster, but he saw the steel knife roaring towards the rear, his "ah" tilt, the blade flew against his cheek, and hit the chest of a minion behind him, and before Roza could get up, the spear that fell to the ground suddenly jumped up from the ground as if it was alive.
The spear's marksmanship has the stunt of a phoenix nodding, but at this time, the spear that fell to the ground was like a phoenix suddenly raising its head, it stopped in front of Luo Za's eyes for a moment, and was dragged back to the front by Lin Chong.
Roza swung his twin knives, and his body ran forward several steps before his steps became crooked, and his knees fell to the ground limply, and he got up, ran a step and fell down.
The moment Lin Chong dragged the spear earlier, Luo Zha's body couldn't stop, and his throat slammed into the spear blade, which hung in the air and cut his throat. Central Plains Bandang, the seven-master of Tongniu Village, is also a ruthless character on the famous side, at this time he was just chasing the back, and he was killed on the gun. The minions in the rear brandished their knives and guns, screamed and rushed past his position, and some looked at him in horror, the man in front of him did not stop, holding a spear to stab east and west, and three rushing bandits rolled into the grass, their bodies twitched, and there were more wounds that kept spurting blood.
Over the years, the Jurchen and pseudo-Qi have occupied the Central Plains, and most people have lived a miserable life. The troubled times broke the last trace of warmth in the green forest, and the mountain bandits usually waved the banner of anti-gold, and most of the business they did stayed on the Han people, and the life of licking blood from the knife all year round created the ferocity of people. Even though the sudden surprise was unexpected, the crowd roared and surged in.
On the other side, the messenger they intercepted was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, it was also diagonally inserted into the crowd of wingers among the sparse stream arrows, and the heavy octagonal mixed copper rod snapped when it touched the object, dragging the chasing crowd towards the woods at high speed. While five or six people fell, many more rushed over.
The master fights more with less, but the two of them choose a similar way, both of them fight into the woods at high speed, and quickly swim away with their body skills, never allowing the enemy to converge. It's just that this interception, Shi Jin is the main target, there are many leaders of Tongniuzhai gathered, Lin Chong's side changed suddenly, and only the seven-leader Luo Zha really intercepted in the past.
Tang Kan, the leader of Tongniuzhai, was a ruthless green forest lord more than ten years ago, and over the years, the life of the outside world has become more and more difficult. This time, he got a lot of money and things, and intercepted and killed the eight-armed dragon king who went south - if Chifeng Mountain was still there, he would not dare to fight this idea, but Chifeng Mountain had already been infighting, and after the eight-armed dragon king was defeated by Lin Zongwu, he was considered to be one of the best martial arts masters in the world.
No matter how powerful the martial arts master is, he can't beat the ants to bite the elephant to death, and over the years, Tongniuzhai has collected a lot of outlaws with its bloody ruthlessness, but because the means are too vicious, the nearby government has suppressed it heavily. If the village wants to develop again, it will have a great reputation. Killing the lone eight-armed dragon king is the best place for this reputation, as for the good or bad reputation, a bad reputation can also make people live well, and if there is no reputation, they will starve to death.
He got the news, and this time the good hands in the village were all ruthless people who received settlement fees and were not afraid of life and death. At this time, Shi Jin avoided the rain of arrows and rushed into the woods, his stick technique was famous all over the world, and no one could touch it, but Tang Kan commanded his men to surround and kill, and in a moment, he also delayed the opponent's speed slightly. The eight-armed dragon king encountered more than one or two interceptions along the way, and he was already injured, so he could only slow down his speed, and everyone rushed up, and he didn't necessarily have four heads and eight arms.
This Shi Jin is already one of the strongest people in the world, and even if the other party comes to the rescue of the so-called "righteous people", one or two, Tongniuzhai has not been killed. Who knew that it was not long ago, the killing on the side and rear extended, and in a blink of an eye, it bypassed from the south end to the north end of the woods, and the villagers over there did not stop anyone, Shi Jin rushed left and right in the crowd of woods, and the outlaws rushed up hysterically, but there were already people shouting at the other end: "The idea is powerful......
"Stop him, stop him—"
"Damn, I'm going to kill your whole family—"
There was panic in the roar. Tang Kan was leading people to rush towards Shi Jin, and at this time he shouted again: "Luo Za-" before someone replied: "The seventh master is dead, and the idea is piercing." "At this time, there was a tide of shouting and killing in the woods, there were those who rushed with knives, there were those who bent bows and arrows, and there were those who fell to the ground with injuries, and the smell of blood was permeating. I only heard Shi Jin shouting: "Good marksmanship, which way is the hero!" "The woods were a small slope, and he could already see the figure below with a gun walking below.
The figure said, "To the south!" The internal force was pressing, but the steady voice was surging like a sea tide, Tang Kan heard that his scalp was numb, and this sudden killing was actually a great master who must be no less inferior to Shi Jin. For a while, he gritted his teeth violently and led people to pounce: "I can't go-"
More than eighty people surrounded and killed two people, and one of them was injured, what about the grandmaster?
So he ran not far away, only to see a figure in the woods with a gun passing through, behind him, more than ten people chased hard, but they couldn't catch up, a small leader of Tongniuzhai rushed over, that person ran while stabbing a shot, the body of the small leader was thrown down the road, it looked like he took the initiative to meet the tip of the gun.
The figure glanced at Tang Kan from a distance, and walked around the top of the woods, there were many elites in Tongniu Village here, all of whom were running to intercept and kill Shi Jin. Tang Kan watched the figure of the man with the gun circle from above, rushed down, and stared Tang Kan in his field of vision.
"Stop him! Kill him—" Tang Kan shook a double hammer in his hand and screamed, but the figure was faster than he imagined, and he was short and prostrate, and with the momentum of the downhill slope, it turned into a straight gray line, extending.
Tang Kan's side is also full of good hands in Tongniuzhai, at this time, there are four or five people already lined up in front of them, everyone looked at the rushing figure, vaguely, God took it. The whistling sound spread, and the figure did not hold a gun, and ran like an iron ox plowing the ground. It's too fast.
Several people made moves almost at the same time, but the figure was faster than the field of vision, suddenly penetrating into the crowd, and at the moment of contact, through the gap between the knives and guns, slammed into a path. Such a human wall was savagely smashed open by a person, a similar situation Tang Kan had never seen before, he only saw that the huge threat roared suddenly like a flood beast, he held a double hammer and smashed it down, Lin Chong's figure was faster, his shoulders had squeezed up, and his right hand was pushed up from between Tang Kan's hands, directly hitting Tang Kan's chin. The entire jaw, along with the teeth in the mouth, was completely shattered in the first place.
Stepping on the foot, the high-speed impact did not stop, Tang Kan's whole person flew up, turned into a diagonal line that extended several zhang, and was then pressed down by Lin Chong, his head hit the ground first, and then the twisting and rolling of his body, and he rumbled into the pile of rubble. Lin Chong's clothes were shattered in this impact, and as he moved forward with inertia, hot air rose on his head.
Several minions of Tongniuzhai were not far in front of him, he shook his arm a few times, his footsteps did not stop at all, the minions hesitated for a moment, some people kept retreating, and some people turned around and ran.
A voice came from the forest above: "It's Brother Lin......" Between the words, there was some hesitation, Shi Jin's side, there were still some people fighting with him, but the chaos had spread.
Some of the leaders of Tongniuzhai still wanted to take the money, leading people to try to besiege Shi Jin, or fight Lin Chong, but after Tang Kan's death, this chaotic scene could no longer trap the two, Shi Jin casually killed a few people, and ran out of the woods with Lin Chong. At this time, there were also members of Tongniuzhai who were running and fleeing around, and the two of them went not far to the south, and they could see the horses ridden by those bandits in the mountain col, some people came to ride horses and escaped, Lin Chong and Shi Jin also rode one each, and went south along the mountain road. Shi Jin was sure that in front of him was his brother Lin Chong, whom he had not seen for more than ten years, and he was overjoyed, he was seriously injured, and he was running all the way at this time, as if he didn't realize it.
The two were close friends in Liangshan in the past, but those things were memories of more than ten years ago, and when they met at this time, they changed from high-spirited young people to middle-aged, and many words could not be said for a while. Walking to a mountain stream, Shi Jin reined in the horse's head, and also signaled Lin Chong to stop, he smiled heroically, got off the horse, and said: "Brother Lin, let's rest here, I have an injury, and I have to deal with it...... This road is not smooth, and it is not easy to mess around. ”
Lin Chong nodded.
At this time, it was noon, and the two stopped by the stream. Shi Jin bandaged his wounds, and talked about the matter of him looking for Lin Chong after the fall of Liangshan: "That was more than ten years ago, I searched for you all over but did not see any news, and then I went to Chifeng Mountain, and I have been asking people to inquire about your news, and I thought that you were more than lucky, and I saw you safe at this time...... That's a good thing. ”
At the beginning of their acquaintance, Shi Jin was still young, Lin Chong was not middle-aged, Shi Jin was heroic, but he respected people who could read and hyphenate and had a gentle heart, and Lin Chong had always been called a brother. The original nine-patterned dragon had grown into an eight-armed dragon king at this time, and his words also carried the heaviness of the years of tempering. He said it lightly, but in fact, I don't know how much effort has been spent on finding Lin Chong over the years.
In the past few days, Lin Chong's heart has been rising and sinking in grief and indignation, and he has long lost much concern about the events of this time, but at this time, he suddenly met his former brother, and his heart was gloomy, and he felt like a world away, and he was no longer in the world. Shi Jin was struggling, while talking about his experience over the years, what he had seen and heard, he had been polishing and training over the years, and he could also see that there was something wrong with this brother's state, more than ten years apart, even the emperor of the Central Plains had changed several terms, heroes or civilians, in which there were ups and downs, and they also endured the torment of this world. At this time, the breath of alienation and despair has been sent out, in the forest, Lin Chong ran fast, and his marksmanship has turned into a realm, but when he shot out, he was extremely quiet and indifferent, which was a feeling that Grandmaster Zhou did not have when he killed Jinren.
Although Shi Jin is concerned, he is more willing to believe in the former eldest brother, but in the middle of his life, Liangshan was destroyed by internal strife, and Chifeng Mountain was also infighting. It was just that he was alone in the world, but this time the task of going south was heavy, so he had to be a little vigilant.
After saying this for a while, Shi Jin bandaged his injuries, and on the other side, Lin Chong went around and caught two rabbits and lit a fire by the stream, Shi Jin asked, "Brother Lin, where have you been all these years?" ”
Lin Chong was silent for a long time, while roasting the rabbit on the fire, he reached out and pressed it on his head, he recalled one thing, and smiled slightly: "Actually, Brother Shi, I have seen you once." ”
"Huh?"
"A few years ago, in a place called Jiumuling, I talked to ...... opened an inn there, and you passed by there, and had a little quarrel with a group of Jianghu people. At that time, you were already the famous eight-armed dragon king, and everyone knew about the anti-gold resistance...... I didn't come out to see you. ”
"Oh......"
Shi Jin nodded, but he was thinking about where Jiumuling was, he had been extremely busy over the years, and he didn't remember some trivial things.
"Many of your things are famous all over the world, and I know them too." Lin Chong lowered his head and smiled slightly, thinking back, when he heard about this brother's deeds over the years, he was not moved and honored in his heart, and said slowly at this time, "As for me...... After the fall of Liangshan, I was near Anping...... When I met with the master, he said that I was cowardly and no longer recognized me as a disciple, and later ...... Liang Shan's brother defected and wanted to take me to receive a reward, but I didn't want to kill people anymore, so I was chased and fell into the river, and then ...... Rescued by a widow from a small village......"
The sound of flames beeping, Lin Chong's words were low and slow, facing Shi Jin, his heart calmed down a little, but when he recalled many things, his heart still seemed difficult, Shi Jin did not urge, and waited for Lin Chong to pause for a moment in his memories before saying: "I killed those beasts." And then ......"
"I was discouraged and didn't want to get involved in the rivers and lakes anymore, so I stayed there." Lin Chong lowered his head and smiled, then tilted his head with difficulty, "That widow...... It's called Xu ...... Jinhua, she has a pungent personality, and we lived together later...... I remember the village was called ......."
Lin Chong was reminiscing and talking, and the rabbit was quickly roasted, and the two of them tore it up and ate it. Lin Chong talked about the situation of the village where he used to live in seclusion, talked about such and such trivial matters, the changes in the outside world, and his memory was chaotic, like a mirror, and he could see it a little more clearly when he looked closer. Shi Jin occasionally picked up a sentence or two, what were he doing at that time, the memories of the two combined, and occasionally Lin Chong could still smile. Speaking of children, when talking about life in Vaud, the cicadas in the woods were blazing, Lin Chong's tone slowed down, occasionally it was a long silence, so intermittently for a long time, the stream in the valley was murmuring, the clouds in the sky were spreading, Lin Chong leaned on the trunk of the tree on the side, and whispered: "She is still dead after all......"
"Who did it?"
Lin Chong smiled: "One is called Qi Ao." After saying this, he smiled again, and then reached out and pressed his forehead.
Shi Jin said: "The little nephew is also ......"
Lin Chong didn't speak, and Shi Jin slammed his fist on the stone: "How can you let him live for a long time!" ”
"You recuperate first." Lin Chong spoke, and then said, "He can't live." ”
The sound of birdsong in the woods sounded, and the surroundings became even more silent, and the two sat diagonally opposite each other, Shi Jin was angry, but then he did not speak, but leaned his body against the trunk of the tree behind him. He has been known as the eight-armed dragon king all these years, but where has he lived a peaceful life, and where is there any peace and stability in the entire Central Plains. Fighting with the Jin people, being besieged and killed, and starving are all common things, and he has seen a lot of people seeing the Han people being slaughtered, or being taken captive to the north as slaves, and the tragedy of women being **, and even the most miserable Yi Zi being eaten. What kind of heroic heroes, there are also sorrows and joys, I don't know how many times, Shi Jin also felt the deep pain of digging out his heart and liver, it was nothing more than gritting his teeth and balancing with his desperate efforts on the battlefield.
Such a pain has befallen his brother, and the details are not enough to ask, even in the south, none of the thousands of "hungry ghosts" will suffer a worse doom than this. Tens of millions of people have suffered bad luck, which does not mean that this side is not worth mentioning, but at this time, it is meaningless to ask why, and even the details are meaningless.
He sat for a long time, and exhaled "Ha": "Actually, Brother Lin, in the past few years, I have been a big hero and a hero admired by everyone in Chifeng Mountain, majestic, right?" There was a woman in the mountains, I liked it very much, and I made an appointment to get married when the world was a little more peaceful...... The year before last, in a small battle, she died suddenly. Many times it's like this, before you even react, the heavens and the earth have changed, and after people die, their hearts are empty. He clenched his fist and lightly hammered it on his chest, Lin Chong turned his eyes to look at him, Shi Jin stood up from the ground, he sat casually for too long, or let down any guard in front of Lin Chong, his body shook a few times, and Lin Chong also stood up.
"In fact, sometimes, in this world, there is really a fate." Shi Jin spoke, walking to the side of the luggage, "I went south this time, I brought one thing, and I was thinking all the way, why did I take him with me." When I saw Brother Lin, I suddenly felt ...... It may really be fateful. Grandmaster Zhou, it's been dead for ten years, and it's been in the north for ten years...... Brother Lin, you must be happy when you see this......"
Shi Jin picked up the long package and took off half of the cloth cover, which was an old spear. The spear was thrown by Shi Jin, reflecting the sunlight, and Lin Chong reached out to catch it.
In the daylight, there was a soft "buzzing" sound.
Canglong Fu ......
Something came up from the bottom of my heart. It was many years ago, when he was a teenager in the Imperial Boxing Gym, as one of the most talented disciples under Zhou Dong's throne, he also played and polished his master's spear many times. Although the Zhou Dong people are strict, they don't care about weapons, and sometimes a group of disciples take Canglong Fu to compete against each other, which is not a big deal.
"I'll fuck you...... Coward—"In that dark courtyard, Master kicked over—
Memories and regrets are like spearheads, spanning decades of time, sprinting in. Lin Chong let out an indescribable groan, and the spear in his hand was more like a blazing charcoal fire, reflecting the sunlight, making it impossible for him to look directly. He held the spear in his hand for a moment, then swiped it into the cobblestone at his side. In the valley, the dragon lay down more than three feet into the stone, and stood straight there, pointing straight to the sky.
“…… Good! ”
Shi Jin exclaimed and applauded.
