Chapter Seventy-Seven: The Enemy of Lone Bamboo Song
Zhan Wuxian flew over, and just when he arrived at the tent, he saw a figure in black tiptoeing with his back to him. Zhan Wuxian clasped the man's right shoulder and whispered, "What person?" The black-clothed figure was stunned and didn't speak, but his feet were secretly rubbing, wanting to fight back. Zhan Wuxian said again: "Sneaky, what is the purpose of coming here?" The man still didn't speak, turned his head to look at Zhan Wuxian, saw these eyes, Zhan Wuxian's heart was shocked, and suddenly a stream of quicksand erupted from the man's feet, heading straight for Zhan Wuxian's face. It was too late to use his hand to do it, Zhan Wuxian let go of the man's right shoulder, and at the same time performed the escape technique, and the moment the quicksand flew in, Zhan Wuxian's figure had already fled. At the same time, Zhan Wuxian appeared directly in front of the man in black, and then he saw a sharp sword fly out of the cuff of the man in black's right arm, piercing Zhan Wuxian's door. Zhan Wuxian dodged sideways, watching the tip of the sword advance in front of his eyes, and Zhan Wuxian's left hand had already moved over, his thumb and index finger pinched the blade of the sword, and at the same time, his right hand struck out, and he slapped the man in black. There was a muffled thud, then a crisp sound, and Zhan Wuxian and the man in black each took a few steps back. Zhan Wuxian had half more sword body in his hand, and only half of the sword in the black-clothed man's hand was left.
"Are you from the Central Plains?" Zhan Wu Xiandao.
"This matter has nothing to do with you, you don't meddle with it." The man in black.
Zhan Wuxian smiled: "Since I have touched it, I have to take care of it." After saying that, he threw out the tip of the sword in his hand and stabbed straight at the man in black, and at the same time, Zhan Wuxian flew up, and his body followed the tip of the sword and attacked the man in black. The man in black was startled, and used the broken sword in his hand to block the tip of the sword, and at the same time made a move with his left hand to pick up the offensive of the shirtless. As the two swords struck each other, sparks appeared, and Zhan Wuxian's figure suddenly disappeared. The man in black said, "It's not good. Turning around, Zhan Wuxian was standing behind him smiling, but he didn't make a move. The man in black was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood that Zhan Wuxian's martial arts were above him, and if he made a move, he would have his life.
"It looks like we didn't work out today." The black-clothed man said, he made a few feints, and then left. Zhan said without compassion: "Want to escape? It's not that easy, I'm going to see who you are today? Zhan Wuxian's figure flickered, caught up with the man in black, and reached out to take off his mask. The man in black blocked it with his palm, pushed out his shirtless arm, and attacked it again with his other hand, and the two of them dismantled dozens of moves in an instant. The two of them dismantled with their hands on the top, and their feet were not idle below, dislocated back and forth, kicking and fighting.
Although the man in black fell at the beginning and couldn't escape, it was not easy for Zhan Wuxian to take off his mask. In the blink of an eye, more than fifty moves passed, and the man in black gradually became a little physically exhausted, and his defense began to be a little scattered, and at the fifty-sixth move, the man in black showed a flaw, and was buckled by Zhan Wuxian's right shoulder, hitting his left spring point, and the man in black immediately froze there and couldn't move. At this time, the people of the Ghost Fang clan had gradually gathered around, and Zhan Wuxian reached out in front of everyone to take off the mask on the face of the man in black.
"Slow, don't take it off." It's the black ghost: "Let this warrior go, let him retain his glory and self-esteem." ”
Zhan Wuxian said: "You don't want to know who this person is, what are you doing here?" ”
The black ghost said: "This warrior came to visit late at night, he must not want us to know his identity, so let's fulfill him." ”
Zhan Wuxian said: "Since the patriarch said so, then according to the patriarch's meaning." Then he unlocked the acupoint of the man in black and said, "You go." ”
The man in black stood still and didn't leave, he said to the black ghost: "It's not that you don't want to know who I am, but you already know." Then he took off the mask himself, and everyone was shocked, it turned out that the man in black was Gu Zhuming.
The black vulture ghost was not surprised, he said indifferently: "I do already know that it is the warrior you, but I don't know why the warrior visited my sand tent late at night, if I do something wrong, please ask the warrior to point it out, and I will be responsible for the black ghost ghost and give the warrior an explanation." ”
"Hmph." Gu Zhu said: "Since you don't want to say it, I'll say it for you." Are you a descendant of the Black Wu Clan of the Ghost Fang Clan? ”
"Exactly." The black vulture ghost said: "Our black vulture clan has been passed down from generation to generation, and it is already the nineteenth generation of my generation. ”
"That's good." Gu Zhu said: "Do you know why your black Wu clan is surnamed Black Wu? ”
The black vulture ghost stood there, staring at Gu Zhuming with both eyes, but did not speak.
Gu Zhu said: "That's because your ancestor got a sword called the Black Vulture Sword, and this Black Vulture Sword was robbed by your ancestor of my Yan Kingdom's Lone Bamboo Clan. The people present began to sigh and exchanged ears, this was the first time they had heard that the first family of the ghost party was actually such a source. Gu Zhuming continued: "Back then, the Black Wu Clan of the Ghost Fang tribe attacked the Yan Kingdom together with Shan Rong, burning and looting in the territory of the Yan Kingdom. As the frontier tribe of the Yan Kingdom, the Guzhu clan was exterminated by your Black Wu Clan, and robbed the Black Wu Sword that had been passed down from generation to generation of the Guzhu Clan. All 108 members of the Guzhu clan were brutally killed by you, and only one child survived by hiding in a dry well, and that child was my ancestor. From then on, my ancestors set a heavy momentum, determined to kill your Black Wu Clan, recapture the Black Wu Sword, and avenge my Guzhu Clan. Don't you know what I'm talking about? After Gu Zhuming finished speaking, his eyes stared at the black ghost, ready to die.
The black ghost slowly lowered his head, pulled out the sword on his body, and the sword body was engraved with the word "Yan" near the hilt, and then the black ghost looked up to the sky and sighed: "The descendants of the Guzhu clan are still here after all, you are right, it is the ancestor of my black Wushi who destroyed your Guzhu clan, and because of this, for hundreds of years, my black Wushi has been cursed for generations, and no generation has been at peace, and I am always ready for the descendants of the Guzhu clan to take revenge." The black ghost suddenly turned around, put the horizontal sword on his neck, and suddenly a line of blood flowed out along the blade, "You can take revenge today, before I die, please promise me one thing." ”
"What?"
"After I die, I hope you will not remember your past grudges, and join forces with other warriors to hunt down the snow demons, so that the ghost clan can live a peaceful life."
Dead silence, dead silence, no one present spoke, people were in awe of the black ghost's behavior, and they were resentful of the burning of the lonely bamboo song. It's been hundreds of years, and the hatred is still so deep, but some people think that the hatred of the extermination of the clan is not shared, and no matter how young people are, they should not forget it. And with the current strength comparison, the black ghost can kill Gu Zhuming with more people, but he doesn't, and he is still begging Gu Zhuming.
"Father." A man in his prime shouted, "You can't die, the Ghost Fang tribe can't live without you." "This man in the prime of life is the only son of the black vulture. He snatched the black vulture sword from the black vulture ghost's hand and said, "The snow demon has not been destroyed, the ghost tribe is still in danger at all times, and the ghost tribe can't do without you." I will pay the blood debt owed by the Black Vultures. After speaking, the black vultures said to the ghost clan: "It's the black vultures who stand up." "I saw thirty-six people coming out of the crowd of the Ghost Fang tribe, men and women, old and young. Black Wu Hu said: "For the sake of the Ghost Fang Clan, it is time for the Black Wu Clan to stand up. After saying that, the black vulture suddenly drew his sword and killed himself, and then the thirty-six black vulture clansmen did not hesitate for a moment, and all committed suicide, one of the sixty-year-old men killed his grandson first and then committed suicide by drinking the sword. During this time, the black ghost stood still and did not even look at it.
Thirty-seven corpses lay on the sand, blood pooling into a stream of blood, washing the grains of sand, which glowed with a cold red glow in the light of the fire, and reflected on everyone's face. The black vultures glanced at the corpses, his gaze resolute and calm, and he said to Lone Bamboo, "After killing the Snow Demon, I will give my head to the warriors to honor your ancestors. ”
Gu Zhuming didn't speak for a long time, then turned around and walked towards his sand tent, and after a few steps, Gu Zhuming stopped and turned his back to the black vulture: "I will keep my promise, and I hope you will too." The black vulture ghost held the black vulture sword, walked over and said to Gu Zhu: "The black vulture sword belongs to you, and now it belongs to its original owner." Gu Zhuming turned around and took the sword, he and the black vulture looked at each other, and the two seemed to have agreed on something with their eyes. After a moment, Gu Zhuming turned around and left.
The people of the Onifang tribe carried the thirty-seven corpses to the dead tree, and they marched slowly in line, like the souls of hell falling to death, and the dead tree was the end of death.
Zhan Wuxian returned to the sand tent, and Guisha was still lying naked on the couch. Zhan Wuxian walked over and sat next to Guisha, lost in thought. Guisha hugged Zhan Wuxian from behind and whispered in his ear, "Take me away, I don't want to stay here anymore." ”
"What do you know?" Zhan Wuxian asked.
"I don't know anything." Guisha shook his head: "After you kill the snow demon, you ask the black vulture ghost for me, and he will agree." ”
"Why?"
"I ...... I've heard him talk about the Central Plains, and I want to go to him. ”
"Who is he?"
"I don't know."
"Where is he?"
"Maybe dead, maybe gone."
A figure flashed past the sand tent.
"Who?" Zhan Wuxian got up and ran out.
"What for?" It turned out to be Han Sanhai.
"...... are you so late?" Zhan Wuxian asked.
"Peeing, passing by, can't you?"
"Yes, yes." Zhan Wuxian smiled bitterly, and then returned to his sand tent.
Han Sanhai saw that Zhan Wuxian went back, and hurriedly returned to his sand tent, where Wei Ziao and Zhao Zhigu were waiting for him.
"No, Zhan Wuxian's martial arts are extremely high, and he is extremely vigilant, I was discovered by him as soon as I arrived." Han Sanhai said: "Fortunately, I was clever and deceived him with a little trick." ”
Zhao Zhigu said: "Big brother, I think the plan has changed, Gu Zhuming's kid's martial arts are good, Zhan Wuxian's martial arts are higher than him, it seems that these two people are not easy to deal with." ”
"Well, what the second brother said is right, the plan has to change." Wei said proudly: "I have fought with Tian Xuwu, and his martial arts are not below you and my brother, and that Qin Wu wolf, although he was injured, but seeing him fighting with the snow demon, his skill is also comparable to you and me, and the ghost people are the guardian of Qin Wu Wolf day and night, it is really difficult to start." ”
"Big brother, what do you say we should do?"
"Er, what do you say?"
"In my opinion, this matter is not only known to the black vultures, nor can it be known to others, only when we hunt and kill the snow demons, we will see the opportunity, and then we will do it."
"Second brother, what if the others are not for the secret of the Snow Demon?"
Wei said proudly: "Whether other people have this intention or not, we have to strike first, because you don't know if other people have the same purpose as us." ”
Zhao Zhigu said: "Big brother is right. Third brother, if you want to survive, first, unless you are stronger than others, and second, when you don't know that others are stronger than you, you must strike first and attack them unprepared, so that we can survive in the troubled times of the strife of the nations. Therefore, the purpose of our visit must be kept secret and not let anyone know. ”
Han Sanhai said: "I know this, but how do we act when we hunt and kill snow demons?" ”
Zhao Zhigu said: "This is exactly what I want to say. When hunting and killing the Snow Demon, let the others go first, if they are killed by the Snow Demon, it is just right, if they are not killed by the Snow Demon, we will go up and make up for it, I believe that the Snow Demon will also be injured at that time, it is a good time for us to arrest the Snow Demon. After saying that, the three brothers laughed secretly.
