122. The lone eagle and the ghost butterfly
Feng Qiwu and Wu Ge have become friends, how old are they? The first person other than Fenglin. Fenglin is an old friend, a bosom friend, and a supporter, while Wu Ge is another "ghost butterfly". They are very fateful, they are the same size, and their kung fu paths are similar, one is ruthless, one is hot, one is in the south, and the other is in the north, and then in a fight for survival and protection, they don't know each other.
That was a long time ago......
The yellow sand is in the sky, the sun is torn, the young ghost butterfly escapes into the desert, and the bounty dead in Mobei come to a collective carnival, and all accept the commission of the Central Plains: those who catch ghost butterflies alive will get 30,000 gold, those who cut off the heads of ghost butterflies will get 10,000 gold, and those who provide ghost butterflies will get 5,000 gold.
In the corner, a young man looked coldly at the people cheering for the bounty and walked away silently. This young man is at the top of the list of Mobei killers, but he is the only one who did not accept the commission, and he was dubbed "Desert Lone Eagle" by his peers - the only person among Mobei killers who has the name "Desert" in front of it. Because he urinated in seclusion with his father at a very young age, eating desert food and drinking desert water, his flesh and blood have long been closely linked to this desolate pure land and are inseparable.
Undoubtedly, he loves the desert and has always remembered his father's last words: just take care of the desert and don't meddle in the disputes in the Central Plains. - But now he must disobey his father's orders, kill the ghost butterfly, and restore peace to the desert. Since that guy came to the desert, a large number of revenge seekers have also flocked to the desert, mingling with the local bounty hunters, shouting all day long, shouting to kill the heavens, and arguing to kill people. He is most tired of noise in his life, likes to be quiet, likes quiet deserts and kills quietly, in his eyes, such a big publicity will only scare away the prey and disturb others by the way.
The annoyed Lone Eagle finally couldn't bear it anymore and planned to start from the source: he ruthlessly sold his horses in exchange for a new eagle claw hook, a large bag of dry food, and set out on a journey to find the ghost butterfly. As a killer who knows Mobei well, he soon found the ghost butterfly that was said to be very tricky among a cliff in the Alar Mountains.
It's such a young boy!
But he was young and old, similar to his own height, even if he was seriously injured and dying, he still pursed his lips to clean the carrion and gravel on the wound, and the vultures on the cliff rose and fell, staring at him, just waiting for him to die.
The lone eagle looked at it for a while, and was inevitably disappointed: he had to sell all his belongings at a loss, but the opponent was so vulnerable! It was too easy to kill the ghost butterfly, and he was not in a hurry, so he sat leisurely on the edge of the cliff and nibbled on dry food, waiting for the other party to finish cleaning up. "Be a full ghost." Flip over a sheet of dry biscuits.
The ghost butterfly, who hadn't eaten for a long time, didn't shirk it, picked up the cake and patted it, brought it to his mouth and went to most of it, and then threw the cut carrion at the vultures waiting on the side, and the ugly scavengers instantly formed a tent, quacking and scrambling.
"Like it...... The one who hunted me down? The slurred voice was mocking.
The lone eagle stared for a moment and nodded.
"The lone eagle washes his hands and hides in the desert north, not fighting for fame and fortune, but this time he has become a vulture competing for profit?" He swallowed the dry cake with difficulty, and when he couldn't swallow it, he stretched out his hand and said, "Water!" β
The lone eagle threw the water bladder and explained: "You are talking about my father, the old lone eagle, he died, I am the little lone eagle, inheriting the eagle's skills and will, and guarding the tranquility of the desert." I didn't accept the commission, so I wasn't one of them. You and I have no grudges, and I will let you die without pain. He didn't accept that he was a vulture, so he explained the reason for killing him, but he didn't communicate with people for a long time, and it seemed that he didn't express the point. Fortunately, the young man understood, and said that he understood his persistence: "The son inherits the father's business, and it should be." Seeing that the scimitar-like eagle claw hook was shining in the scorching sun, he couldn't help but praise: "The weapon is good." β
The lone eagle did not lose his youthful heart, and swung his fingers to let the dazzling metal reflection fall on the other party's face. "Of course, the money you bought in exchange for bankruptcy is very sharp, and you won't feel pain when you cut your throat."
Ghost Butterfly laughed loudly and said, "That's really thank you for your love, tired of you ruining your family to kill me." Tsk, Mobei is a treasure land, and it has raised people like you who kill people without blinking an eye and are as innocent as you. β
The face of the lone eagle changed, and he raised his hook and shouted: "You are looking for death!" β
"I'm going to die, why should I be afraid?" The young man met his claws and said proudly: "But please listen to the kind words of my dying person, you want the desert to be calm, you must not kill a person I can do, you must clear all the Central Plains people who came with me this time, in order to keep the desert peaceful, otherwise there will be no peace in Mobei." β
Lone Eagle listened, with a cold disdain on his lips: "Nonsense, you just hold a grudge against those people and want to use me to take revenge." The young man raised his eyebrows and smiled, full of sarcasm: "Say that you are naΓ―ve and unconvinced, do you really forget that there is a 'black moon' gold mine in Mobei?" Or do you think that everyone treats money like dung like you? The name of 'Black Moon' has long been legendary in the Central Plains, and many people want to go into Mobei to find out, but they are suffering from the danger of the desert, and no one is going to go with them, and this time they ...... Oh, don't you think the people who came with me are a bit too much? β
The lone eagle was silent, the corners of his mouth were very tight, and for a long time, he swept away the boulder on the edge of the cliff with a hook, and shouted: "The ugly ones who jump off the beam, mess with my desert, die!" Yin Leng rolled his eyes, as if he thought of something, he raised his hook and stabbed at the young man: "You did it on purpose, you should die too!" Before he could finish speaking, the boy's shoulder had been pierced.
"Yes, I did it on purpose, if there is a gold mine to divert their attention, I can take the opportunity to escape!" The ghost butterfly was sweating, and couldn't help but grit his teeth and sneer, but he was injured for many days and tired, and he was poked with a claw, which was difficult to support after all, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he said regretfully: "I didn't expect the environment in Mobei to be so bad that the knife wound on my leg festered...... I can't leave, you don't do it for the bounty, I won't be humiliated to die at your hands. A high name and a surname? β
"The surname is Wu, the name is Ge, and the word is Qianfan." Lone Eagle said truthfully.
"Feng Wuzhang, no words." The young man also reported to his family, and with a light smile, he was so downcast that he was as bright as a stream: "Thousands of sails on the side of the sinking boat, and ten thousand trees in front of the sick tree, it is the old death and the new glory, and the endless goodwill is very goodββ" Yan Bi took off the bronze demon mask on his arm: "Although my life is suspended, Brother Wu must not be revealed to others, you and I are of similar size, and wear this mask to annihilate the thief, one is still peaceful in the desert, and the second can also stay out of the matter, three...... Just when I stabbed the enemy myself, let's talk about comfort under the nine springs. β
"You want me to kill in your name?" Wu Ge frowned, the ghost butterfly was notorious, he was not very willing, and he would continue to splash dirt on a dead man, which would be too damaging to Yin Virtue. But I have to admit that this proposal is wise, it is revenge for the other party, and it is for myself to leave the murder charge clean and mutually beneficial, so why not? What's more, if the desert lone eagle kills on a large scale, it will inevitably lead the fire of hatred to Mobei, and it will provide an excellent excuse for greedy people to invade Mobei, so it is better to pretend to be a ghost butterfly...... Thinking like this, Wu Ge accepted the proposal of the ghost butterfly, and had a good impression of the little boy, so much so that he hesitated when the eagle hook put it on the snow neck.
I like to kill people quietly in my life, but this time I am rarely noisy: "If the sky gives it, it will also be punished, and the people who are gorgeous often exceed the original intention of creation, so the heaven and the earth are intolerable, and the group rises and perishes. β
When the young man heard this, he felt a sigh in his heart, but he couldn't suppress his sadness and unwillingness, and he was unwilling to die like this. The ancients died before he left the school, but he died before he even came out of the school. How did he know, that there was such a group of abnormal madmen in the world! If I had known earlier...... I knew it earlier......
"Why are you crying?"
"Regret!"
"Repentance?" Wu Ge smiled and said, "Before you died, you finally repented of your sins?" β
"No," the young man's tearful eyes were full of hatred, and he yelled, "I regret that I was merciful and didn't cut the grass and eradicate the rootsβI shouldn't have killed only one, I should have killed all their wives, children, relatives, and old friends, and I should have exterminated the clan!" So that there will be no revenge, no revenge!! β
"Okay, then you will remember to be a vicious, ruthless and unrighteous person in the next life!" The lone eagle raised the hook and pressed down, entering the pulse for three points, but suddenly the wind was blowing, flying sand and stones, and a broken drink broke out in the air - "Heaven and earth do not tolerate me"! The sound was like a bell, and after the words were finished, the yellow sand was like waves layered on top of each other, covering the June fire at all, and the heavens and the earth fell into the darkness of the tengu sun in an instant.
What a crazy tone. The swirling wind and sand charming eyes, Wu Ge blocked his face and shouted: "Where is sacred? Come out and see you! β
The sound of laughter was old and strong: "Little baby, how can you easily see the deity?!" Observe for a few months, this baby is quite my liking, the deity took it first, a year later, here and now, if you can still kill him, the deity kowtows to you! The laughter rumbled away, and suddenly the wind stopped and the sand stopped, and the sun sparked people's eyes, as if everything was just an illusion.
However, the ghost butterfly was truly gone, and he was seriously injured and could not escape alone. Wu Ge took off his cloak, shook out a handful of yellow sand from it, and looked around again, the rock wall did not have any stepping marks, and he was finally convinced that the ghost butterfly had been rescued by the master.
"Damn!"
scolded in his mouth and was hateful, but he saw joy in his eyes, and he couldn't deny it that he actually hoped that the young man could live in his heart. I was about to unhook the eagle hook and go home, but I smelled the horse's hooves rolling behind him, turned around, and saw a team of people and horses coming in the distance wrapped in yellow dust, and shouted wildly for the leader: "Kill - the little devil is there, kill him, and the brothers will become famous!! The sound of killing was everywhere, shaking the clear sky of the desert into discoloration, black clouds covering the sun, and black smoke and miasma.
It turned out that the lone eagle had been followed for a long time, and now it was standing tall and was mistaken for a ghost butterfly. Wu Ge looked at this vast desert, but saw the yellow clouds rolling, and a line of huge ancient characters on the vast land:
Rashomon honored the little friend.
A few words are written magnificently, stretching for hundreds of miles, which is by no means humanly possible, like the mysterious imprint left by the giant pen of heaven on the desert.
Rashomon, the legendary Rashomon who broke away from the orthodox "departure glacier" of Xianmen and set up his own gateway on the top of the Tianshan Mountains?
Providence - Wu Ge thought as he slowly clasped the bronze grimace mask on his face, and looking through this mask, there were faces mixed with hatred, greed, and fanaticism, becoming more and more distorted, and more and more clear...... This should be the truest appearance of people. Wu Ge, who rarely laughed, looked up to the sky and laughed, and suddenly unfolded the hook and roared down.
β¦β¦ Since then, the warriors of the Central Plains no longer dare to set foot in Mobei easily, and another rumor has been planted among the misty rivers and lakes: in the summer of the 36th year of Fengde, the ghost butterfly slaughtered the enemy at the foot of the Alar Mountain in Mobei; In the same year, the "Black Moon" was blown up, and hundreds of sand bandits died in the gold mine, none of which survived, and only a few broken butterfly wings fluttered in the wind.
