Chapter 208: Parting Ways
Midsummer has passed, the weather is still sultry, and the grass and trees are like children who are about to become adults, stop growing crazy, with a lazy demeanor, but there are many doubts in their hearts, vigilantly looking at every strange outsider.
All humans are outsiders, and they are especially frightened by the two humans standing across from each other.
Xiaocao has no special feelings for grass and trees, her fists are clenched, her feet are tightly clasped to the ground, and a few grasses can no longer stand up.
Ten steps away, Third Sister He didn't seem to be ready for battle, standing casually, with her sleeves folded in front of her, like a hostess who was greeting her guests.
The bystanders retreated step by step, He Wu's whole body tensed, more nervous than Xiaocao, and Zhao Aqi and the others watched coldly, without betting too much emotion.
Only Hu Guiyang did not move, still sitting on the grass not far from the two, with a smile on his face.
His smile was even more out of place at this moment, gradually attracting everyone's attention, and even the murderous aura around him was diluted a lot.
Xiaocao didn't hold her breath and asked, "What are you laughing at?" ”
"You pretend to use your fists, but in fact, you want to use the chain on your waist to prevent Third Sister He from attacking you with Heavenly Skills, right?"
The tip of the chain gun had been lost, and Xiaocao was reluctant to throw away the remaining chain, still wrapped around his waist.
Hearing Hu Guiyang's speculation, Xiaocao was obviously stunned, because this was indeed her plan, even if she was as arrogant as her, she was still a little afraid of the elusive Heavenly Machine.
"You ......" Xiaocao was furious.
Hu Guiyang turned to Third Sister He, "You hide your hands in your sleeves, as if you want to use the Heavenly Machine Technique, but in fact, you have other ideas, your skills are already very strong, and you don't need to use the power of instruments anymore." ”
Seeing Hu Guiyang's tricks of breaking He Sanjie'er, Xiaocao's face softened slightly, but He Wu's madman in the distance was unhappy, and said loudly: "People compete in martial arts, can you use your fingers?" ”
Third Sister He has always been calm, and she also knows Hu Guiyang's intentions best, "What do you really want to say?" ”
Hu Guiyang stood up and patted the weeds off his body, "I want to say that the strongest master has appeared elsewhere, and it is really ridiculous for the two of you to compete here." ”
"Nonsense!" He Wu madman shouted, waving his fist.
Xiaocao's eyes narrowed, "Who else is more powerful than the two of us?" ”
"You just lost to this master, and you forgot about it in a blink of an eye?"
Xiaocao is inexplicable, "When will I ......"
"Bird's Gun." The third sister on the opposite side guessed the answer.
Xiaocao was stunned, and then unconvinced, "What kind of master is Bird Gong?" Not even human, I didn't lose to the bird at all, I just ...... Just ......"
"If someone beats you with a receiver, is that person a master?" Hu Guiyang asked.
"Count." Xiaocao regretted it after saying it, knowing that this answer would definitely be used by the other party.
"The receiver is an instrument, and the bird gun is also an instrument."
"The casing is for one person, and there are at least a hundred people in the birding!" Xiaocao was even more unconvinced.
Hu Guiyang said with a smile: "In this way, the number one master of Yunyang Mansion should be the garrison master Zang Lian, he commands a hundred bird gunners alone, and he is invincible, but if the other party has thousands of troops and horses, he still has to escape, so he ......"
"That's not the case!" Xiaocao shouted, hating Hu Guiyang's smile so much for the first time.
"The self-improvement is strong, the master is invincible, the strongest is the person in the West Garden, but he is the supreme body, but he is attracted by a few words from the servants, and his every move is controlled, so the servants are stronger. But with the strength of the people, they are trapped here, and they can't send the heavenly machine ship to soar, and they need to rely on the power of mortals, so thousands of mortals are stronger. The power of mortals comes from the Dan Cave and the Heavenly Machine Pill, and in order to obtain divine power, they are all like puppets, so the Heavenly Machine Ship is stronger. But the heavenly machine ship is a dead thing, there are no servants, and the ship is not as good as grass mustard, so it is still stronger than the servants. But the Yuyu people are no longer Xiaocao's opponents, so Xiaocao is stronger. The grass runs rampant in the city and outside the city, and it retreats when it encounters a hundred birds, so the birds are stronger. ”
Similar words, Hu Guiyang said that it would not end at dawn, but he felt that it was almost over, so he shut up and looked at the two women.
He Wu was completely confused, and said to Wen Buhua: "What does he want to say?" ”
Wen Buhua said lightly: "There is no strongest, why bother to be strong?" ”
"So, it's stupid to fight?" He Wu Maniac would never agree with this statement.
Wen Buhua smiled, and there was no argument.
Third Sister He was silent for a while, and then said: "I don't want to be the strongest, but I want to be stronger than my opponent, I have no intention of competing with Xiaocao." ”
The grass didn't squeak, but it didn't do it immediately.
"This battle proves nothing." Hu Guiyang walked towards Xiaocao.
He made a mistake, all along, he was talking to the two of them at the same time, but this time he turned his gaze to Xiaocao alone, as if he was trying to persuade her alone.
"All your strength, why do you keep it?"
Xiaocao's words attracted the applause of He Wu's madman.
Before the words fell, Xiaocao had already made a move, and did not change the plan, as Hu Guiyang said, he jumped forward, and threw out half of the chain halfway, but the person turned to the right to avoid the hidden weapon.
Third Sister He really didn't use the Heavenly Skill Technique, raised her right arm, and actually met the chain with her fingers.
The fingers were wrapped in the sleeves, revealing their general shape, and the iron rings on the chains were torn apart by the cloth, and dozens of small rings were scattered all over the ground in the blink of an eye, especially the aftermath.
"But that's it." Third Sister He said.
"But that's it." Xiaocao repeated, the fighting spirit and chains when he first came shattered at the same time, sighed, and turned away.
Hu Guiyang was about to catch up, and Third Sister He shook her head very slowly at him.
The grass neither returned to the city nor went to the valley, wandering aimlessly into the wilderness, and soon disappeared into the grass.
The four people watching the battle walked back, and He Wu said uncertainly: "The third sister has won." ”
Wen Buhua corrected: "Little Grass Girl won." ”
He Wu madman glared angrily, but he didn't look at him when he heard it.
Zhao Aqi and Wen Kuyu did not speak.
"There is no winner." Third Sister He sighed lightly, "Xiaocao doesn't want to fight, and I don't want to." ”
He Wu madman glared at Hu Guiyang again, feeling that this martial arts contest was all his fault.
Hu Guiyang smiled: "Don't be angry, protect your eyes." ”
He Wu madman was angry, his two eyes were bigger and smaller, he knew this problem, and when Hu Guiyang said it, he was even more angry in his heart, but he didn't want to show it on his face, and his expression suddenly looked extremely strange.
Third Sister He said to Wen Buhua and the others: "Xiaocao may still snatch the Heavenly Machine Pill, and then it will be your turn to enter the Dan Acupoint, and I will provide protection." ”
Several people showed surprise, only He Wu was very happy, but before he could speak, He Sanjie added: "Fifth brother can't do it. ”
"Why?" He Wu was not angry, only aggrieved and puzzled, "I didn't do anything wrong." ”
"There is a risk in the Dan cave, it is enough for one of our sisters and brothers to have been there." Third Sister He didn't hide it, "Wen Buhua, Zhao Lixing, Wen Kuyu, are you willing to take risks?" ”
"Yes." Zhao Aqi was the first to speak.
Smelling the bitter rain, he snorted.
Wen Buhua has something to say: "I am a child of the Wen family, I should board the heavenly ship on the fifteenth day of July, now it seems that it is delusional, I have been abandoned, and I am destined to stay in the mortal world......"
"You were originally mortal, and you were adopted by dwarfs since childhood." He Wu madman revealed the short.
Wen Buhua ignored him and continued: "Since this is the case, I need to use my strength to protect myself, so I am willing to risk entering the Dan Cave. ”
"The next Dan cave is on Little Turtle Island. Wen Buhua went in, and the next place was Zhao Lixing, and then Wen bitter rain, and so on. Third Sister He set the order.
Wen Kuyu didn't care about the order, but he had a question in his heart, "The dwarf said that you can only get magic skills after picking all the five acupoints, and you have only been in three places." ”
Third Sister He shook her head, "Hu Guiyang is right, there is no real strongest in this world, rather than me becoming a top master alone, it is better for everyone to become a master together." I am helping you today, and I hope that you will do the same to me in the future, support each other, and keep you safe. ”
Wen Kuyu knelt down on one knee, bowed his head and said: "I am willing to serve the third lady as the master for the rest of my life, and I will never have two hearts." ”
Zhao Aqi did so.
Wen Buhua hesitated for a while and didn't kneel, "The Wen family doesn't bow down, but if I can really keep my skills, only the girl is the first to pay attention." ”
He Wu Maniac happily knelt down, and Third Sister He waved her hand and signaled him not to do this.
"It's dark, you go to Little Turtle Island first, and I'll follow." Third Sister He'er's words were orders, and the four of them left together, and they all glanced at Hu Guiyang when they left.
"Don't say anything." There was no command in Third Sister He'er's tone.
Hu Guiyang smiled, "I don't have anything to say, farewell." ”
"Where are you going?"
"Find Xiaocao, as well as Yuan Mao and Fan Laodao, these three people are with me, and I will bring them back to the capital."
"That's all?"
Hu Guiyang exhaled heavily, "I want to try to see if I can destroy the Heavenly Machine Ship." ”
Third Sister He smiled, which included both ridicule and a hint of appreciation, "Hu Guiyang, who is not motivated, is actually the most ambitious." ”
"It's not an ambition, it's just ...... It has to be so, the Heavenly Machine Ship is the root of everything, I don't want to be a headless fly anymore, I might as well go straight to the thief's nest. ”
"I wish you success." Third Sister He obviously didn't take it too seriously.
"I wish you failure." Hu Guiyang stretched his waist and didn't take it too seriously.
The tenderness and sweetness that had been brewing disappeared without a trace in an instant, as if it had never existed.
He Sanjie chased after her companion and soon disappeared.
Hu Guiyang returned to the path and slowly walked towards the official road, knowing very well in his heart that Third Sister He had not given up the plan of collecting five acupoints, she was just using Wen Buhua and others to lure away Xiaocao.
On the outskirts of the village, Hu Guiyang wanted to get the horses and return to the city overnight, and the officers and soldiers defending the city had received orders, and as soon as they saw Hu Guiyang, they immediately opened the door and let him go, and an officer reminded him: "Please ask Captain Hu to go to the prefect's yamen." ”
The prefect's yamen was brightly lit, a large number of soldiers were waiting with birds, and the local garrison Zang Lian and a general sent by the imperial court commanded the front and rear yards respectively.
Zang Lian personally greeted Hu Guiyang and took him to the backyard, whispering thanks on the way.
In a room outside the West Garden, Wang Zhi and others were talking at night.
Wang Zhi said to Hu Guiyang: "It's all done as you say, is the next thing to wait?" Is there any other way you can do it? ”
"Destroy the Heavenly Ship."
Several people in the room laughed at the same time, and their thoughts were the same as that of Third Sister He, and they felt that this plan was whimsical.
Hu Guiyang also smiled, not feeling ridiculous in his heart.
