Chapter 5: Bandits run rampant
Regaining consciousness, Su Ming slowly opened his eyes, and where he saw was the dense woods, only the faint sunlight sprinkled through the gaps between the leaves, forming patchwork spots on the ground.
Where is this?
A question arose in Su Ming's mind, he remembered what happened before he fell unconscious, he killed the people besieging him on the cliff, he was resting and recovering his internal strength, the white ball of light in his mind was zero, his consciousness fell into darkness, and after waking up, he came to this strange place.
White Ball of Light!
Su Ming thought of the key, and hurriedly closed his eyes and observed the white ball of light.
In the pitch-black vision, the white ball of light was still suspended in his mind, and two lines of font appeared on it.
The first line of font is Chinese characters, a total of five characters: "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch." ”
Su Ming is very familiar with these five words, the legend of the white-haired witch is a martial arts novel written by Master Liang Yusheng, the protagonist is Zhuo Yihang, a master of the Wudang faction, accidentally met the leader of the green forest Lian Nishang, and the two sides fell in love with each other, but because of the grudge between the master and Lian Nishang, Zhuo Yihang drew his sword to the person he loved, and Lian Nishang was sad, and he turned white overnight and returned to the mountains and forests.
At the end of the story, Zhuo Yihang went to find Youtan Xianhua and wanted to make Lian Nishang's white hair black, but Youtan Xianhua would only bloom once in sixty years, so Zhuo Yihang waited until he died, until seventy years later, in the story of "Seven Swords Under the Tianshan", Lian Nishang received the two flowers, but Lian Nishang, who was already 100 years old at this time, could no longer use these two flowers.
The end of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" is sad and regrettable, until the end of the story, the two are not together, but because of the misunderstanding between the two, they have given each other the best years, which makes people sigh.
And in the third year after "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch" was serialized for two years, "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" written by Master Jin Yong also had a similar plot, but the difference was that after the separation after sixteen years, Yang Guo and Xiaolongnu still met again.
Su Ming has a love-hate relationship with this book, he likes the eclectic and strong personality of practicing Nishang, but he also hates Zhuo Yihang's indecisiveness, he likes to practice Nishang's eclecticism and eclecticism, and hates the conformism and inconsistency of the righteous sect. But at the end of the story, these emotions all translate into a faint sense of loss.
Su Ming didn't expect that he would come to the world of "The Legend of the White-Haired Witch", and his emotions were a little mixed.
Su Ming shook his head and looked at the bottom of the Chinese characters, still a familiar time countdown, "2591987, 2591986,......"
A number is a second, and those numbers are close to thirty days, plus the time that has passed, exactly thirty days.
In other words, you have to live in this world for at least thirty days before you can get another chance to cross over.
Su Ming touched his body and found that he was still dressed when he left the top of the cliff, wearing a green coat and a square scarf, but the long sword was not beside him, for Su Ming, who was good at using swordsmanship, he lost half of his combat power without a sword.
Su Ming planned to leave here first before making plans, he stood up, looked for a direction, and walked into the distance.
Su Ming walked in the forest, stepping on the wet soil, occasionally stepping on a branch, making a clicking sound, which would wake up the nearby birds.
After walking for a while, the trees became sparse, and after walking some distance, a large road suddenly opened up in front of me, and not far away.
The road was wide enough for a dozen horses to walk in parallel, and the road was very smooth.
Su Ming walked forward, and after a while, there was the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and more than a dozen high-headed horses rushed towards this side.
When he came closer, Su Ming saw the people sitting on the horses, all of them were sturdy, with thick arms, fierce faces and long knives at their waists.
Seeing Su Ming, the leader immediately shouted: "Get out of the way, don't get in the way." ”
Su Ming's eyes narrowed, and he walked to the side quietly, wanting to calm things down, but when one of the horses jumped past Su Ming, a long whip was drawn towards Su Ming.
Facing this whip, Su Ming snorted coldly, stretched out his right hand and grabbed it, grabbed the tip of the whip, and pulled it fiercely.
Bang.
The big man on the horse was dragged into the air and flew up, and then slammed into the ground, covered in blood and wailing.
The sudden change made the horse team stop immediately, and the person at the head of the group was full of beards and a pair of eyes the size of copper bells stared at Su Ming, and scolded: "Little rabbit cub, you dare to hurt my people who are going over the mountains and tigers, do you want to die?" ”
Tigers are the same?
Su Ming has some impressions of this name, this person is good at swordsmanship, he is one of the bandits in the Sichuan Realm, and beside him, the man with thick eyebrows and big eyes is Zhu Baochun, a fire spirit ape, who is good at using the art of slingshots, and the two of them are some bandits among the heroes in the green forest of the Sichuan Realm, but the two of them are mediocre in martial arts, and they are dwarfed by Geng Shaonan, a disciple of the Wudang faction whose martial arts are not outstanding, and they belong to the dragon set in the dragon set.
Su Ming looked at the other party and said coldly: "It was your person who made the first move, it's no wonder that I am." ”
Zhou Tong snorted and said, "But no matter what, if you hurt my people, you can't let you leave like this." Go up, take him down for me, and break your legs. ”
With Zhou Tong's words, seven or eight men jumped down from the horses, holding steel knives, and rushed towards Su Ming.
Seeing these people rushing towards him, Su Ming picked up the long knife on the ground with his footsteps, picked up the long knife on the waist of the person who fell to the ground just now and flew into the air, stretched out his hand to hold the long knife, and jumped forward, not retreating, but squeezing into the crowd.
The long knife in Su Ming's hand did not swing or slash, but only used it as a long sword, stabbing people with the tip of the knife, one knife after another, as fast as the wind, every time Su Ming took a step, the bandit in front of him fell down.
Zhou Tong and Zhu Baochun on the horse originally thought that a young scholar, even if he had learned some martial arts, could not be compared with himself and others, so there was no need to worry, but who knew that the other party made a strange move, and he killed one person with one knife, which was terrifying.
Zhu Baochun watched his men fall one by one, his face was angry, he took out a slingshot from his back, took out ammunition from his arms, put it on the bow, and flicked his fingers continuously, and the projectiles flew towards Su Ming.
These projectiles flew in mid-air, and flames suddenly rose, and with raging fireworks, they attacked the vital points around Su Ming's body.
Zhu Baochun's slingshot technique is extremely extraordinary, the archery skill is amazing, it is difficult to stop, but it is difficult to block, but it does not mean that it cannot be blocked.
Su Mingyun made Feiyan Gong, with a little footstep, his body rushed quickly, and he continued to march in the crowd, so he easily avoided these fire bombs. But these fireballs fell on these bandits, and they wailed.
Zhu Baochun hurriedly withdrew the slingshot, and Zhou Tong shouted: "I'm going to end this kid." ”
Zhou Tong jumped off the horse, brandished his copper knife, and threw himself towards Su Ming.
Two or three leaps, Zhou Tong grabbed in front of Su Ming, slashed down with the long knife in his hand, and slashed at Su Ming's shoulder and neck with three swords.
Su Ming hurriedly waved his knife to resist, and after three crisp sounds, Su Ming stabbed out with his backhand and stabbed at Zhou Tongxin's nest.
Zhou Tong retracted the knife and pressed down, opened Su Ming's long knife, and then swung it horizontally, slashing at Su Ming's neck.
Su Ming didn't have time to put away the knife to block, so he could only dodge sideways, but when he dodged a knife, the knife in Zhou Tong's hand followed him like a shadow, and he slashed several times.
Su Ming's long knife was raised, blocking all the opponents, and then the long knife in his hand stabbed straight ahead, turning into starry dots and stabbing at Zhou Tong.
Zhou Tong swung his knife to block, but Su Ming's clever moves and multiple trajectories allowed him to block the four knives, but he couldn't block the last one.
But just when the tip of Su Ming's knife was about to stab Zhou Tong, a sound of breaking the air sounded, and Su Ming hurriedly retreated to dodge, only to see a stream of fire flying past the tip of Su Ming's nose and landing on the ground not far away.
Su Ming turned his head to look and found that the fire spirit ape Zhu Baochun was holding a slingshot, loaded the projectile, and aimed at himself again.
At this time, Zhou Tong also took a step forward and attacked again.
Zhu Baochun's projectile shot towards Su Ming, coupled with Zhou Tong's copper knife, which made Su Ming slowly fall behind.
If the weapon in his hand was not a sword but a sword, these two people would have solved it themselves a long time ago.
Su Ming regretted a little that he didn't bring the long sword, and now he was forced to dodge constantly, and after more than a dozen moves, poof, Zhou Tong's long knife slashed Su Ming's left arm, bringing up a puddle of blood.
Su Ming frowned, he could only be consumed alive by the two of them if he continued like this, but at this time, the sound of horses sounded again in the distance.
I saw a white horse coming from a distance without hurrying, and on the horse sat a young man in white, with a long sword pinned to his waist, looking heroic.
When the young man saw the battle here, he immediately became interested, a young scholar younger than himself, with one enemy and two not falling behind, these two people are still famous bandits in Sichuan and Shaanxi, plus the corpses that have been lying on the ground around him, this young man's martial arts are really not simple.
And what made him more concerned was that the boy's moves were very strange, although he was holding a long knife, he only stabbed, as if he was holding a sword.
Seeing this scene, the young man smiled, took off the long sword from his horse, and threw it at the young man, shouting at the same time, "Little brother, use my sword." ”
Su Ming had already noticed that someone was coming, and when he heard his words, he jumped over a little bit, stretched out his hand, grabbed the long sword in his hand, and pulled out the long sword.
The sword is full of light, and at first glance it is not an ordinary long sword.
With this sword, his combat power increased greatly, and at this time, Zhou Tong brandished a long knife and attacked from behind, Su Ming turned around and blocked it with a sword, and then stabbed diagonally, picking up a fire bomb away.
Zhou Tong swung his knife and cut horizontally, but before he could use a move, Su Ming's long sword had already reached his right hand where he held the knife.
Zhou Tong had no choice but to put away his knife and retreat, but Su Ming shook his wrist and stabbed Zhou Tong in the throat with a sword.
Zhou Tong's long knife struck upward, wanting to open the long sword, but the long sword was like flowing water, bypassing Zhou Tong's long knife and driving straight in.
Zhou Tong hurriedly dodged, but the long sword grazed his throat, leaving a bloody mark.
Mountains and rivers.
One move and two changes, making people unguardable.
Zhou Tong touched his neck, his face became ugly, he didn't expect that after he got a sword, his martial arts would improve a lot.
He and Zhu Baochun couldn't take him just now, but now that he got a sword, he and Zhu Baochun were not opponents.
There was also a young man watching from the sidelines, and if he helped again, the two of them might fold here.
Thinking of this, Zhou Tongxin retreated, but at this moment, the long sword in Su Ming's hand stabbed out, and the blade trembled, attacking with great might.
Zhou Tong hurriedly swung his knife to block, the swords intersected, Zhou Tong only felt a strong force, and the long knife in his hand was bounced away.
And the next moment, Su Ming's long sword drove straight into Zhou Tong's left chest.
Landslides and ground cracks.
The most powerful move in the Thousand Mountains Sword Technique, it cannot be stopped.
Zhou Tong looked at Su Ming blankly, his eyes were full of disbelief, and as Su Ming drew his long sword, Zhou Tong's body fell to the ground, unable to die anymore.
In the distance, Zhu Baochun saw his friend being stabbed by a long sword, his eyes were split, and he raised the slingshot in his hand and sent out a few fire bullets.
Su Ming raised the long sword in his hand, opened the fire bomb, and used Feiyan Gong to rush towards Zhu Baochun.
Seeing Su Ming's actions, Zhu Baochun's face changed, knowing that he couldn't die here, it was better to leave first, find other bandits, and besiege and kill this person together.
Thinking of this, Zhu Baochun clamped the horse's belly between his legs, turned around and ran.
But before the horse could run out, a figure had already come to the horse, taking advantage of the horse's speed to keep up with the horse, and stabbed Zhu Baochun in the waist and abdomen with a sword.
Zhu Baochun felt the cold light on his side, and hurriedly rushed to the side, but a bloody wound was still drawn out of his waist and abdomen, rolled off the horse, and fell heavily to the ground.
"Don't kill me, I'm a Jade Rakshasa person." Zhu Baochun looked at Su Ming, who was getting closer and closer with a long sword in his hand, and shouted loudly.
Su Ming turned a deaf ear, walked closer, and raised his long sword.
The young man in white changed his face and shouted loudly, "Little brother, stop." ”
Su Ming's long sword stabbed down, and a sword pierced through the opponent's chest, killing Zhu Baochun.
The young man in white drove his horse to Su Ming's side, frowned and asked, "Do you know who the Jade Rakshasa is?" ”
Su Ming looked at Zhu Baochun's corpse on the ground, sighed, and said, "Just know that you can't leave a living mouth." ”
Zhou Tong, the mountain tiger, and Zhu Baochun, the fire spirit ape, are both people who rob the jade rakshasa and are the bandit leaders who unify the green forests in northern Shaanxi and central Shaanxi.
Even if she just hurts her subordinates, she will be captured by the Jade Rakshasa and cut off her fingers for a lesson.
Therefore, if you don't kill people and kill your mouth, then you will be more and less lucky.
The young man in white remembered the rumored murderous name of the Jade Rakshasa, looked at the corpses all over the ground, sighed, and said, "It is true that there is not a single living mouth left. ”
Su Ming shook the long sword in his hand, the blood fell to the ground, the long sword became extremely smooth, he pointed his acupoint, stopped the bleeding of his left arm, turned around, a smile appeared on his calm face, and said: "Thank you Brother Tai for your help, my name is Su Ming, may I ask Brother Taizun's surname." ”
The young man smiled helplessly and said, "My name is Wang Zhaoxi. ”
