Chapter 23: Ambush
No matter how high the kung fu is, the bricks will fall down.
This proverb is a fitting way to describe the fragility of a practitioner.
This is because even if a practitioner understands the subtlety of the operation of the qi machine, absorbs the vitality of heaven and earth into the meridians, uses it to temper the functions of the body, and diligently moves and exercises, so that his physical fitness and reaction are very different from ordinary people, but as long as he is not transcendent and holy, he still cannot escape the state of the mortal womb of the flesh after all, and if he does not pay attention to it and does not take precautions, then he is no different from ordinary people.
They can also be injured or even killed, whether it is a knife or a gun, or a bullet, or even choking to death......
The decline of modern cultivators, in addition to the tidal weakening of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth at the end of the Yuan Dynasty and the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, is more important because guns and cannons were introduced to the mainland, making many cultivators sadly find that they have practiced for a lifetime, and may even be solved by a person who has just learned to shoot for three or two days with a cheap bullet.
How ridiculous this was, only a cultivator who was in the torrent of that era could experience it for himself.
Back at the scene of the ambush by the river, the little carpenter felt something strange the moment he was shot, but what made him different from ordinary cultivators was that his body not only had the Qilin True Fire repeatedly tempered, but also experienced the magical power of the dragon vein qi to wash the meridians.
The existence of these powers made his physical fitness very different from ordinary people, and even much stronger than most cultivators in this world.
Although he didn't concentrate and hardened the surface of his body to block the blow, the moment the bullet entered his body, his muscular reaction was completed, so that the bullet did not enter his body too much, and the damaged blood vessels were also rapidly tightening, so that the surging blood stopped at once.
Then he reached over and pulled the bullet out.
And when he had finished this, he heard the sound of hurried footsteps on the other side of the alley, and when he turned his head to look, he saw seven or eight dark figures emerging from there, and then faintly there were guns raised.
The little carpenter did not hesitate, and with a toe of his right leg, he used the ladder to climb the sky, and the man went directly to the wall.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he went up the wall, gunshots immediately rang out from the commanding heights not far away.
However, at this time, the little carpenter had already woken up, and both his mental will and physical reaction had entered his peak state.
Almost instantly, the gun went off, and his body shifted a meter, causing the bullet to whizz past him, but it did not cause him any threatening damage.
Then the little carpenter looked up and instantly locked onto the roof of a small four-story building not far away.
There was a gunman with a rifle, aiming at him.
The eyes of the two sides met in mid-air, as if there were sparks, and the other party's response was to pull the trigger again without hesitation.
Bang......
Bang, bang, bang......
It wasn't just the gunman on the high ground who fired, there were several gunmen in the ambush circle who were all powerful people, and they all climbed over the wall and rained bullets on the little carpenter, trying to cause as much damage as possible.
And the moment the little carpenter pulled the trigger from the man, he moved.
Even though he was wounded and ambushed by at least ten or more gunmen, he showed no intention of flinching.
Instead, he rushed towards the gunman on the high ground.
His figure was ghostly.
Even if it was a bullet, there was no way to catch up with the speed of the little carpenter, and in front of everyone's eyes, after a few ups and downs, he had already come to the front of the commanding heights.
And by the time the gunners on that commanding heights had fired several shots in quick succession.
That's a master.
Every shot he fired almost bit the flesh of the little carpenter, and even under the extreme vertical method of the little carpenter's ladder, he could barely lock on to the person.
But even so, he still couldn't stop the little carpenter's attack like a tiger and as fast as a cheetah.
However, the guy's judgment was very strong, and when he sensed that the little carpenter was approaching, he disappeared from the roof, and at the same time, the gunfire around him became more and more intense, and countless bullets were tilted towards the little carpenter, as if he was fighting a company battle......
But a few seconds later, the little carpenter who broke through the wall threw the gun-wielding master who wanted to flee in panic to the ground.
That guy is also a ruthless character, even if he was knocked down, he didn't stop resisting.
Almost subconsciously, he pulled out a pistol from his waist, but was grabbed by the wrist of the little carpenter's iron hoop, and after he couldn't move, his left hand moved, and a sharp dagger slipped out of his sleeve, and stabbed at the little carpenter's heart.
Everything is running smoothly, apparently as a result of thousands of training sessions.
However, these methods in front of the little carpenter, it really seems that there are some pediatrics, so when his dagger stabbed out, he felt a soreness in his left hand, and when he came back to his senses, the dagger had already turned its direction and was directly against his master's Adam's apple.
All of this happened like lightning and flint, but the little carpenter pressed the man to the ground, and then put a dagger against the opponent's neck to control him.
Hearing the sound of fierce footsteps coming from outside the house, the little carpenter quickly asked, "Who are you?" Why kill me? β
The man tried his best to resist but couldn't, his eyes showed a look of despair, and then he also let go, and shouted angrily: "Ganmo, just wait, our robe brother will never let you go!" β
He shouted hysterically, but the little carpenter was very calm and asked, "Brother Robe?" Ghost Face Robe Brotherhood, or Yucheng Robe Brotherhood? β
The man's eyes rolled for a moment, and then he said, "Hmph, our Cheng dragon head ......"
Before he finished speaking, someone broke into the door and shot directly in their direction, completely regardless of whether he had hostages here, it was so fierce that people were a little surprised, and the little carpenter did not hesitate, he directly lifted the guy under him, and after blocking the first round of bullets, he felt that this guy had no breath, so he slammed into the wall and went out from the other side.
Outside, the little carpenter glanced around, did not stay here for long, took a deep breath, and then suddenly mentioned it, and the man disappeared into the vast night of this neighborhood......
Half an hour later, the little carpenter returned to his foothold on the other side of Xiahao Old Street.
When he entered the door, he didn't see anyone, and after asking out loud, Qu Menghu and Qu Fengfang walked out of the darkness.
At this time, the little carpenter had already changed his clothes, and the wound on his left leg was also scabbed over by his strong physical fitness, and he couldn't see anything on the surface, but when he walked, there was a little high and low leg.
However, Qu Menghu saw it at a glance and asked, "What's wrong?" β
The little carpenter found a chair and sat down, and then said lightly: "On the way back, I was ambushed, almost ten or more, even fifteen or sixteen people, all with guns, rifles and pistols, and the fire was very fierce...... I was accidentally shot at first, but then I killed a master and escaped. β
Qu Menghu asked, "Where is the injury?" β
He insisted on examining the wound, and the little carpenter had to take off his trousers, show him the scabbed wound, and say, "It's all right, just get some sleep." β
Qu Menghu said enviously: "The Qilin bloodline is powerfulβwe also heard the gunshots, so we deduced that something might have happened to you." Good enough for us not to worry too much. By the way, do you know which side of the person you belong to? β
The little carpenter said: "It was said that the robe brother would be, when I asked if it was the Yucheng robe brother club or the ghost robe brother club, that guy's eyes glanced at the lower right corner, and then said, 'Cheng Longtou will not let you go'......"
Qu Menghu said: "So, it's the person from the Ghost Mask Robe Brotherhood?" After all, you killed their former dragon head ghost king. β
The little carpenter shook his head and said, "I'm not sure, the man is too aggressive, and his accent seems to be a little weird, so I don't know who the character is......"
Qu Menghu thought for a while and said, "In this way, you recuperate here, and I'll go out." β
The little carpenter knew that he was probably going to find Liniang from Huamen to inquire about the news.
The little carpenter didn't know exactly how powerful the women were, and they weren't sure if they knew who was behind the ambush, but it didn't hurt to try.
As long as Qu Menghu was sure, those women would not betray them.
However, he still stopped Qu Menghu and said, "Don't you want to know what I heard about this time?" β
Qu Menghu listened, but laughed: "It can't be said that it is a futile, at least there is no big gain." β
The little carpenter was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why do you say this?" β
Qu Menghu said: "Regardless of whether the person who ambushed you is the Yucheng Robe Brotherhood or the Ghost Face Robe Brotherhood, one thing is for sure - in the Yucheng Robe Brotherhood, someone leaked your whereabouts. And if that's the case, that Chen Long must have been warned, that is to say, even if the gang didn't confirm that you lied yesterday, they were also wary of you, so when you went over, what you heard was something that was not nutritious......"
Hearing Qu Menghu's series of logical cracks, the little carpenter was speechless for a moment.
This guy's brain is really good, just relying on the current clues, he actually directly connected the cause and effect of the matter, and the head is the way, and there is no flaw.
How did his brain grow?
The little carpenter said no more, and let Qu Menghu leave, while he went to reclean the wound and then rested.
And Qu Menghu didn't come back until midnight, and then went directly into the little carpenter's room, woke up the sleeping little carpenter, and said with a strange face: "Thirteen, do you know who ambushed you this time?" β
