Chapter 138 Birth and Death
A day later, on the fifth day of the fifth month of May, the yellow calendar said that it was appropriate to sacrifice, move, and bury, and taboo.
Today's things are so unlucky, and there are no taboo things.
It seems that today is a good place for the dead, and there will indeed be people who die today.
Zhao was polishing his sword, both swords. The sword body of the First Life Sword is cyan, and the sword body of the Tiger Roar Sword is copper-colored, and you can feel the chill on the sword body through the rag. Both swords have killed people, and both swords have murderous aura on them. Zhao Zheng is a very easy-going and kind person, but when he is ruthless, he also has a murderous aura on his body, even heavier than the murderous aura on the two swords.
If there is a baby next to him, he will definitely be scared and cry by the murderous aura emanating from Zhao Zheng's body, and if there is a beast on the side, he will also hide far away.
Zhao Zheng doesn't like to kill, but some people really deserve to die.
If it weren't for someone who deserved to die, there would be no death penalty in the world.
Killing people is not a happy thing, no matter who kills them, no matter how damned the person is.
The morning air is so fresh, you can still smell the fragrance of flowers, and there are birds singing in the sky, and the sound is pleasant. What a wonderful world this is, but there are people who want to do bad things and force others to kill him.
The person Zhao Zheng is going to kill today is Mo Yunzi, a guy who likes to kill innocents indiscriminately because he has gone crazy because of sword practice.
"After the age of sixty, I will retire." Zhao Zheng raised his sword, looked at the young face reflected on the sword body, and secretly made an oath. There is no end to the idle affairs in the world, and he is a nosy person, if he wants to live a quiet life one day. You have to wash your hands. The rapids retreated.
Boating on the river. In the logging forest, green plums cook wine, drink fragrant tea, such a leisurely day is also very good, Zhao Zheng also yearns for it.
Steward Zhu's voice rang out in the col, and he was calling for the fighters to go to the ring.
The time has come, and the sword has been wiped clean.
Zhao Zheng stood up and put his sword into the sheath. Carrying two swords, he went out of the house and went to the ring with a large number of fighters.
Many fighters were eliminated in the last round of the competition, and those who were eliminated could no longer live here, but had to move to other rooms. There are already half of the people here, and after the fight ends today, there will be half of them again.
As Zhao was walking, he felt a glance behind him, and he knew that it was Mo Yunzi's gaze, so he didn't look back. There is no need for the two to communicate.
There are two kinds of people in this world who can know their meaning without communication, and one is a confidant. One kind of person is the enemy, unfortunately. Zhao Zheng and Mo Yunzi belong to the latter.
Today's beating process is the same as last time, first the firecrackers are set off, the bells and drums are sounded, then the iron owner makes a speech, and finally the beaters are put on stage.
The little red flag flickered, and the first two jumped on the two, namely Gongye Gao Kuan and Fang Junru, the two of them were tall and short, one beautiful and one ugly, one male and one female, forming a sharp contrast.
Fang Junru is good at using a chain sword, and people give him the nickname Fairy Asking for Life, it is rumored that some people were blinded by her because she looked at her a few more times, and some people say that she once killed fifteen negative men who abandoned their wives in a row. These rumors may be false, but she is indeed a fierce woman, as can be seen from the frost on her face.
Gongye Gao Kuan wanted to shrink his neck just by looking at Fang Jun's fierce expression, which made him even shorter, and he was almost shrunk into a round ball.
"Victory or defeat is just a passing moment, whether you win or I win today, it is impossible to get Zichu Sword, and sooner or later it will be lost in the hands of Zheng Wuji and others. In that case, the two of us don't have to take it too seriously, just click and stop. Later, when the competition is held, please ask the girl to be merciful. Gongye Gaokuan smiled and hugged his fists. His words were reasonable, but his smile was ugly.
"I can be merciful, I'm afraid that the chain sword in my hand doesn't know the weight." Fang Junru slowly raised his right arm, and on that thin arm, there were circles of stainless steel chains wrapped around them, and at the end of the chains was a short sword. This peculiar weapon is beyond the category of eighteen weapons, and belongs to the weapons in the "Twenty-four Roads and Five Elements", which can be said to be a sword, or it can be said that it is not a sword. Regardless of whether this weapon counts as a sword or not, at least the Sword Forge Villa acquiesced to her use of this weapon.
"The girl laughed, the weapon is in your hand, and of course you control whether it is light or heavy."
"I never laugh, and my weapons may not always be under my control." Fang Junru shook his right arm at the dwarf on the opposite side, and the chain sword rattled, flashing a cold light. What she said was telling the truth, this special weapon really can't be completely controlled, and once it is shaken out, it may hit somewhere.
"Since the girl can't control the heat well, then I won't force the girl. If you are injured by a mistake, girl, I will consider myself unlucky. Gongye Gaokuan smiled bitterly.
"You talk a lot, are you here to fight, or are you here to chatter?"
"If I don't talk to you more on stage, I won't have a chance to talk to you after I get off stage."
"You don't have a chance now, because I don't want to talk to you anymore." Fang Jun touched the ground on tiptoe, rose up, rolled his wrist, and threw out the chain sword. The chains were lengthened a lot, and the sword blade of the head stabbed down towards the dwarf's head, and the cold light on it was huo, wrapped in a layer of sharp sword qi.
Gongye Gaokuan's next sentence was held back by this sword, otherwise he would have to open his head on the spot. He drew the short sword he was carrying, the length of which matched his height. He crossed the short sword, swung the blade of the chain sword with the hilt, and then rolled on the spot, rolling towards Fang Junru. His people are ugly, and his kung fu is ugly. This kind of swordsmanship that rolls all over the ground can't be practiced by ordinary people, and ordinary people don't bother to practice it.
Ugly people are paired with ugly kung fu, and the combination of ugliness and ugliness makes people even more disgusting.
Fang Junru frowned, the bridge of his nose also shrugged slightly, and he was ruthless to the dwarfs rolling all the way. She swung her chain sword in her hand and used the strange weapon as a whip. The chain sword was drawn at the dwarf again and again, but they were all dodged by the dwarf. The gnome dodged, but the brick floor below could not be dodged, and the chain sword fell to the ground again and again, each time it fell. It will leave a deep mark on it.
It would be dangerous to let the gnome roll under his feet. It's an obvious thing. Fang Junru didn't want to let such an ugly and dangerous person roll under his feet. So while swinging the sword and retreating, the shining sword qi swirled and flew around her beautiful body, like a group of silver snakes out of a hole, fierce and beautiful.
A man and a woman fought in one place on the field, killing up and down, and when the fight reached the fifteenth move, the dwarf jumped under his feet and ran through the gap in the chain sword. Suddenly approached Fang Junru.
Fang Junru's face changed slightly, his feet stomped on the ground, and he rose from the ground. In order to get away from the gnome, she jumped very high, but unfortunately she couldn't get rid of the dwarf, and the dwarf also jumped very high, as high as she did.
Gongye Gao Kuan was in the air, and stabbed a short sword at Fang Junru's three-inch golden lotus, this sword actually stabbed out five sword qi, and the sword qi swirled around the sword body. There is reality in the virtual, and there is fiction in the real. Subtle.
Fang Junru shook the chain sword and rolled into a whirlwind, rolling the short sword and the five sword qi in it, defusing this attack.
The two began to fall, and in the process of falling, their hands and feet were not idle, and they were still entangled in a fierce battle.
Due to the fact that some moves on land could not be performed in the air, Fang Junru's moves became out of order, and several chaos occurred one after another.
However, Gongye's tall and wide moves are still subtle and unaffected, and it seems that he has worked hard in this regard. He is a person who is not loved, and when others waste time for love, he is practicing, so his foundation is very solid.
The two fought five moves in mid-air, Fang Junru exposed at least three flaws, and Gongye Gaokuan caught at least two of them and used them to launch an offensive.
The short sword and cold air swept across Fang Junru's neck and waist, startling her back and sweating coldly. But after landing on the ground, she found that she was unscathed at all, and she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. She knew that it must have been Gongye Gaokuan who deliberately left his hand and didn't hurt her. She has already lost this competition, and she is convinced.
She didn't promise Gongye Gaokuan's subordinates to show mercy before, but Gongye Gaokuan showed mercy to his subordinates during the competition, which shows that Gongye Gaokuan's figure is small, but he has a lot of heart.
"The owner of this village announced that the winner of this competition is Fang Junru!" Tie Xuanfeng's old and loud voice sounded, like the morning bell ringing in an ancient temple in the deep mountains.
Fang Junru frowned when she heard this, feeling a little confused, it was obviously her who lost just now, how could she be considered to have won. She turned around and scanned the ring, only to find that the gnome was nowhere to be found.
The gnomes are not on stage, but offstage. When he fell just now, he deliberately fell outside the ring and gave the victory to Fang Junru. He knew very well that he was by no means Zheng Wouji's opponent, and this competition was meaningless regardless of victory or defeat, so he simply gave a favor and gave the victory to Fang Junru.
He's an unlikable person, and doing something like this might make people feel a little bit more good about him.
Just a little bit is enough.
Fang Junru grabbed the chain sword and stopped to watch the dwarf in the audience gradually disappear until it disappeared. She did have a little more affection for the dwarf in her heart, at least she didn't hate the dwarf.
The first competition ended, and the second competition followed, Tie Xuanfeng stood on the stage and announced in public: "The candidates for the second competition are Zhao Zheng and Mo Yunzi, please bring two young heroes to the stage!" ”
In the east stand, the two people who were hit by the point all cheered up and stood up one after another.
The first three games were not good, Zhao Zheng knew that he was used as a cushion, but he didn't care, the only thing he cared about now was the outcome of this competition, as well as the life and death of Mo Yunzi. He turned his head sideways and looked at Mo Yunzi, who was also looking at him, his gaze colder than a sword and sharper than a sword.
"Boy, come on stage. Today is your time of death. Mo Yunzi said coldly.
Zhao Zheng didn't get angry when he heard this, but sighed, he was sighing for Mo Yunzi.
People who are about to die but don't know it, this kind of person is still a little pitiful.
During the first round of the competition, Mo Yunzi was stunned by Tie Xuanfeng because he went crazy halfway, so he couldn't see the competition behind Zhao Zheng, and he didn't know Zhao Zheng's current strength. If Mo Yunzi had watched Zhao Zheng's competition, he would probably not be so confident now.
Don't say that Mo Yunzi is not crazy, but Mo Yunzi is crazy, and Zhao Zheng is just as confident as he can defeat him.
The two went on stage, and there were traces of the last competition on the stage, but there was no blood.
Soon, there will be blood in this ring.
The beater is in the ring, and Tie Xuanfeng should leave. But Zhao Zheng stopped Tie Xuanfeng first. Bow respectfully.
Tie Xuanfeng saw that Zhao Zheng had something to say. He stopped and asked, "What's the matter with you?" ”
"Owner, I have a reluctant request." Zhao Zhengdao.
"But it doesn't hurt to talk about it."
"Guizhuang set up the ring, once repeatedly ordered that it was strictly forbidden for the fighter to kill the opponent, and it was advocated to stop at the point. I didn't want to violate the rules of your village, but I had a gap with today's opponent and had a deep hatred. Wait until it's time to get your hands dirty. It is difficult for me and him to restrain ourselves, and there are eighty or ninety percent of them who will violate the rules of your village and give a dead hand to each other. In order not to make you angry, I hereby tell you. I hope you can make it easier for me to take this opportunity to break up with him. ”
Zhao Zheng said and took out a piece of paper from his body, shook his hand, and the paper scroll popped open, and the three words of life and death were written on it, and under the three words, there were many words sprinkled with Yangyang. It's all about life and death. He continued: "As you can see, this is a picture of life and death. I've signed my name on it, and I'll bring it to him later. It is clearly written in black and white, on the ring, life and death have their own destiny, no matter who dies, they can't complain about others. ”
Tie Xuanfeng's face sank, he was a person who liked rules, so he hated it when others broke the rules. He didn't want to make an exception for Zhao Zheng, so he said: "It is better to settle the dispute than to settle it, what kind of hatred do you have between the two of you, you have to fight to the death." ”
"I want to kill him, he wants to kill me, the hatred between us is as simple as that." Zhao Zheng said resolutely. In fact, he wasn't exactly telling the truth. At the beginning, he wanted to kill Mo Yunzi in order to do the right thing for heaven, and the revenge was a later matter. But on this occasion, it is too frivolous to say anything about the way of heaven, and it is better to directly say that there is a feud to teach people to be convinced.
"That's right," Mo Yunzi interjected on the side, narrowing his eyes slightly, with a terrifying cold light in his eyes, "Today with me without him, with him without me, only one person can walk out of the ring alive." I also hope that the owner of the village will raise his noble hand, open the net, and give us this opportunity. ”
The people on the stage heard the conversation of several people and coaxed one after another, hoping that Tie Xuanfeng would agree to this life-and-death fight. For these people who watch the excitement, it doesn't matter who lives or dies on the stage, it's exciting enough to make a fuss. This more or less exposes the dark side of the human heart.
The sound of heckling became louder and louder, and the murderous aura on the two fighters became stronger and stronger.
Tie Xuanfeng understood that he couldn't stop this, even if he didn't agree, these two young men with strong blood would still fight to the death in the ring. In addition, the calls of the spectators were very high, so it was better to simply push the boat down the river and agree to the matter.
"Alas, it's really good words to persuade the damned ghost, since you have to fight to the death, the owner of this village will make an exception and promise to let the two of you have a life-and-death fight. If you want to kill each other, just do it, Honjo won't interfere, and your fate is your own anyway. Tie Xuanfeng said with a calm face.
"Thank you for the success!" Zhao Zheng clenched his fists, then looked at Mo Yunzi, and threw the life and death form over, "The owner of the village has agreed to this life and death fight, you can sign your name on it!" ”
The state of life and death is just a piece of paper, which is difficult to throw, but under the impetus of Zhao Zheng's skill, he actually leaped more than three feet and flew in front of Mo Yunzi.
Mo Yunzi didn't go to pick up the life and death form, but pulled out the Leng Feng sword and stabbed it on Zhao Zheng's name with a sword, shattering the entire life and death form.
Scraps of paper fell from mid-air like black and white butterflies.
"I've signed my name." Mo Yunzi was domineering.
"Okay, good, then let's fight." Zhao Zheng is not confined to a piece of thin paper, as long as the other party agrees to fight to the death, it is enough for the people in the rivers and lakes to have a verbal agreement, and everyone present around can be witnesses. He drew his sword, and it was a sword of life, and he wanted to use this sword to take Mo Yunzi's life.
From the moment both swords were drawn, the contest had already begun. Tie Xuanfeng put his hands behind his back, and without seeing any movement, the whole person bounced up from the ring and landed lightly on the chief seat of the East Stand.
The two fighters looked at each other, their three eyes as if they were about to breathe fire, and the two swords looked at each other, the tips of their swords against the tips of their swords.
He didn't move.
He didn't move either.
Mo Yunzi didn't move because Zu Xuan's swordsmanship was calculating, and it was suitable for the last to come, and only in this way could the power of the swordsmanship be brought into play.
Zhao Zheng didn't move because he knew the mystery of Zu Xuan's swordsmanship, so he didn't do it, and waited for the other party to make the first move.
Not long after the two looked at each other, the spectators in the surrounding stands couldn't wait, and urged the two to fight quickly, and sarcastically said that the two were here to meet, not to fight.
The words around are very harsh, and it tests people's cheekiness and patience.
Mo Yunzi's face was very thin and his patience was very small, so he made the first move, using a rare move in Zu Xuan's swordsmanship. This trick is called luring the snake out of the hole, and the move is full of false moves, and it shows off the flaws all over the body, deliberately attracting the opponent to counterattack.
A sword struck, the white light was terrifying, and the cold air hit the face.
Zhao Zheng stood still, not frightened by the power of this sword, nor attracted by a few flaws. He knew that those flaws were fake, not real.
Mo Yunzi killed Zhao Zheng in front of him, and the sword in his hand shook several times, but there was no substantial attack. He failed in this move, and he couldn't really lead out the snake, and the move was old, so he could only change to another move immediately.
At the moment when Mo Yunzi changed his moves, Zhao Zheng's eyes lit up, and he attacked forward, using his housekeeping skills to cross the gap. This is his fastest sword move, and the more quick moves he has, the harder it will be to crack! (To be continued......)
