1. Pale boy
"On Bingshen Day, it is advisable to make an alliance, avoid traveling, going to the beam, and building temples."
In front of the huge city gate of Xuandu, the crowd came and went as if it was ants, and at this time, a pale young man whose linen clothes were stained gray with dust was staring at the majestic but mottled city wall in a daze, and he felt a little clueless, he shook his head lightly, and threw the eagle on his shoulder. Watching the eagle spread its wings and fly away, the young man stared blankly in the direction of the eagle for a long time, until the eagle flew away, and then he sighed softly.
Entering the city requires a deed, and he can't help but miss his confused master again.
Thinking of this, the young man looked at the endless stream of cars and horses entering the city, and sighed again in his heart.
Three months ago, they were living a comfortable and leisurely life in the mountains of Yunzhou, but now they came to the front of the city wall to eat ashes.
Thinking of this, the young man didn't feel a little gloomy, originally he was raising Ah Tu A Huang while practicing martial arts and farming and hunting, his master was drinking and sleeping while bragging and scolding, and his life was normal but mediocre, although in recent years, he felt that his master seemed to be getting more and more serious, and his temper was getting more and more irritable, and even when he beat him, he was getting heavier and heavier, but this young man had a big heart and a thick skin, and he didn't care.
Three months ago, a bright plum blossom suddenly appeared on the withered peach tree in front of the window of the house where they lived for no apparent reason, and the swaggering master seemed to frown between his brows for the first time in his life, and drank heavily for two or three days in a row, as if he wanted to pickle himself in the wine. That day, his master brought him over to drink with him, and talked a lot in a daze. The young man vaguely heard his master say a lot of things to the young man, such as, "He is eighteen years old, and he should fall in love with a girl, but don't kill anyone, and if you want to kill, don't go to the courtyard with willow trees next to the monk's temple in the south of the capital......
But I was only sixteen years old, and the boy was puzzled, but he didn't ask, just soju and drank, and after drinking, the boy gradually got drunk and fell asleep
When he woke up on the second day, the boy found that the master was gone!
In the past, the master would never return for more than ten days, but this time the young man knew intuitively that the master was really missing this time!
Although the young man was a little at a loss, but he was also calm, he waited at the residence for more than ten days, and made sure that the master had not returned, so he fostered his big yellow dog Ah Huang at the grandmother next door, cleaned up the house where he grew up, and left the village and set off with the vulture Ah Tu.
There were not many clues, and the boy only remembered the sentence "There is a courtyard with willow trees next to the monk's temple in the south of the capital" and "murder", so a pale young man took a hairless old eagle on the road.
The boy never knew how wide the world was and how deep the rivers and lakes were, but he was at a loss and walked towards Kyoto on his own.
Now standing at the foot of the city, the young man looked up at the majestic city wall, and secretly regretted that he had just let Ah Tu out to forage, and the old bird probably refused to fly back now. If Ah Tu can borrow strength in the air, it is estimated that it will save a lot of effort......
Forget it, let's go straight in!
The boy decided not to waste any more brains, found a place on the outside of the city wall, slowly loosened the thin black rope that was loosely wrapped around his hand, and pressed the city wall with his right hand. At this time, he suddenly put his feet on the ground, and he rose from the ground against the city wall, and jumped into the air with a breath. His leap was as smooth as a bird, without tension, and his body was always roughly parallel to the city wall.
Seeing that the momentum of this leap was about to end, he curled up, and suddenly turned out a black arc-shaped dagger in his hands, like a beast's teeth, nailed into the city wall with a "ding" sound, and the beast tooth dagger chiseled two small holes in the city wall, and the young man pulled it with his strength, and then his hands slashed, and his feet then tiptoed on the wall, and he pounced upwards like a cheetah pounced. This pounce, although not as high as the first jump, is also as high as zhangxu.
By this time, his body had been slightly tilted outward, not as flush with the city wall as it had been at the beginning. When the second leap was about to end, the young man was still a little from the city, and he saw the young man put his hands on the wall, and then kicked his feet on the city, and although he was upward, he was much more out of the city. At this time, I saw that the young man volleyed a harrier and turned over, like a carp jumping in the air, and the two daggers in the shape of animal teeth tied to the thin rope in his hand shot out, which could be entangled in two arrow holes on the head of the city, and the young man pulled in the air, and his body pounced on the city like a slingshot.
This leap is done in one go, and the few movements are completed only in the snap of the fingers, which is not only fast and smooth, but also clean and neat. The hundreds of defenders of the city did not notice a teenager flying on the wall.
The young man did not hesitate to take the beast tooth dagger, and after dodging away from the sentry, he found a convenient position and slipped down the wall.
This day coincides with the South China Sea countries to pay tribute to lions, elephants, rhinoceros, crocodiles and other rare and exotic species in the Central Plains, so the streets are naturally crowded with citizens who want to open their eyes, and the young man is also coerced in the surging crowd.
This young man has grown up in the mountains and forests since he was a child, and he has seen a lot of tigers, wild boars, pythons, and great apes, but these Nanyang giant beasts are the first time he has seen them, and the scene of the imperial capital is new to the young man, so the young man let the crowd take him all the way down. This stroll actually went to the sunset, but he felt that this imperial capital was so big, and he couldn't finish going around, and he didn't care where he had already walked and where he hadn't played. He hasn't been thinking about anything since he was a child, and naturally he doesn't remember the road much, but he feels that these things hurt his brain when he thinks about them, so he doesn't think about it much. When it was getting dark, he found a tree and jumped up to rest, took out the last piece of quick-drying bread from his backpack and ate it, put his hands under his head, and watched the yellow moon fall into a deep sleep.
Early the next morning, the boy stood at the corner of the street outside the South City Racing Arena, staring blankly at the huge circular place with a huge stone structure. The predecessor of this colosseum was the Beijing suburb racecourse, which was originally a place for aristocratic horse racing and bullfighting, and for hundreds of years, lions and unicorns and other streams gradually flowed into the South and Western Oceans, and Kyoto could not accommodate it, so there were nobles who whimsically rebuilt it as a place for fighting animals. Later, just watching the beast fight was not enough to satisfy the needs of the nobles, so prisoners, slaves, prisoners of war and other people who had been convicted of lowly crimes joined the beast fight, in exchange for a reduced sentence and ransom. In the long run, watching the fight gradually developed into a fixed punishment other than entertainment and gambling, so if someone was sentenced to death, he could choose to behead or beast punishment, the so-called beast punishment, according to the law, you need to fight a few battles or a few beasts to be reduced. However, despite the glimmer of life, death from the jaws of the beast is often horrific, so if given a choice, almost no one chooses animal punishment.
Yesterday, the young man saw those giant beasts being sent into this stone castle, the security around here is very tight, and the citizens are not allowed to approach easily, although the young man is good, but he also feels that the vigilance here is far from being comparable to the city wall of Xuandu, so he left in a huff.
At this time, the young man came to the mouth of the beast again, he pricked up his ears and listened carefully, it seemed that he could vaguely hear the tiger and leopard neighing in the colosseum, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, suppressed the curiosity in his heart, and was trying to find the opportunity to find it carefully, when suddenly his stomach growled, and he remembered that his last dry food was also eaten yesterday.
Alas, I forgot to grab something to eat last night. The boy secretly scolded himself for being stupid.
Recalling last night, the moon has been deviated in the sky, the young man woke up as time, stepping on the moonlight like water, a few vertical jumps on the tree where he lived, and came to the willow yard next to the temple that was explored during the day, although there were many guards along the way, but the young man did not care at all, he sneaked all the way and jumped, on the way he also caught a glimpse of several stealth people in black with red sheath scimitars, one of them is very high in martial arts, should be the leader, and another in the palace A scribe and a housekeeper are also top masters, should be the secret guards in the house. After careful calculation, the defenders should have three teams of guards, eleven palace guards, seven men in black, plus the scribe and the steward. But the young man's body is too light and swift, except for the three people who are faintly aware of Yigao, the more than fifty people in this square inch are not aware at all. The boy dodged in the procession, and soon found a hidden attic in the courtyard and jumped up.
He hid in the eaves of the attic in the courtyard, looked sideways into the courtyard, and saw several entangled figures faintly reflected in the window of the west wing, and the sound of a woman moaning and murmuring faintly came from his ears. From the shape of the shadows, it can be seen that only one of them is slightly fat, which should be a man, and the rest of the figures should be women. When the young man saw this scene, he didn't feel that his cheeks were slightly red, he was not unfamiliar with the assassination, and he had enough patience to endure it, but in the past, when the master took him to assassinate and encountered such a situation, the master blindfolded his eyes and ears, and this time he acted alone, but unexpectedly encountered this embarrassing thing. Now that the master is not there, the young man can really hear it in his ears, but he can't help but have a lot of thoughts in his heart, so he simply lies down on the roof and looks at the moon in a daze.
His master taught him martial arts since he was a child, but the method of teaching was very special. The Master only taught him a few simple movements, and then asked him to practice those simple movements repeatedly, so that he could do them faster, more accurately, harder, more violently, and more directly. The master said that no matter how complex kung fu is, it is formed by these few simple movements, and also said that complex moves are completely meaningless, because different situations need to be dealt with with with different movements, even if those moves are beautiful, they will be beaten down by the other party before they are halfway through the dance. The master also took him to the mountains to watch all kinds of beasts fight, let him learn the movements and momentum, and later let him fight directly with the beasts, until this time when he went out of the mountain, the beasts in the mountains were no longer his opponents. Master took him to assassinate him after he was ten years old, and he must have been there three or four times in the past five or six years, and Master always taught him how to observe, lure, dodge, and defeat the enemy in actual situations. The master also told him that anyone can be killed, but he can't kill women, but now the master doesn't know where he went, and he doesn't know if he can have a clue by killing this man who looks chubby and lives in this target's yard, the young man lay on the eaves and looked at the moon, unconsciously
When the moaning in the room had gradually subsided, the young man turned back coldly, picked off a purple slingshot from his waist in the shadow of the room, attached the beast tooth dagger to the black cord, put it on top of the slingshot, and then stretched his arm and opened the bow. I heard a soft "whoosh" sound, and the dagger burst out, followed by a "poof" through the window, and then the screams of the woman in the room sounded. The boy didn't pay attention to it, but just drew the thin rope in his hand, and the thin rope reflected a cold arc in the moonlight, and the dagger flew back. The boy thought for a moment, took out a black eagle feather from his waist, stuck it in the corner of the eaves, and then leaped away, and disappeared into the dissolving moonlight.
