Chapter Seventy-Two: Deadend
Ling Xue stopped suddenly, her upper body leaned back, her body fell backwards in a soft posture, and the scimitar was immediately thrown out and stabbed at a sword cultivator behind her.
The sword cultivator heard the reminder, stood on the ground with his legs on the ground, and leaned his whole body in a tumbler position, dodging the scimitar. The other besieging ground sword cultivator jumped up lightly and slashed at the scimitar fiercely, and the scimitar was smashed to the ground by this strong and savage sword, and only a small section of the hilt was exposed.
Ling Xue missed the blow, the scimitar was shot down again, and she rolled in embarrassment to dodge a few bursts of sword qi, the sea of qi in her chest churned, and the irrepressible injury made her spit out a few mouthfuls of blood, and the scarlet fell on the dirt of the courtyard in shock. Ling Xue was half-kneeling, her palms propped up on the ground and staring at Xi Tou viciously.
Xi raised his hand to stop the six sword cultivators who wanted to continue the attack, staring with interest at Ling Xue, who was once cold and arrogant, but now he was bullied like a lost dog.
There are only a hundred people in the world who can be called abyss sword cultivators, and every one of them is a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Either on the battlefield or constantly accepting assassination missions, each of them carrying at least hundreds of thousands of lives. Everyone only holds the sword all their lives, and everyone's sword is soaked in the sea of blood all year round to nourish the murderous energy. In the pool of blood in the abyss, there are still hundreds of swords waiting for their masters.
Of course, the role of 10,000 people is not so easy to deal with, not to mention that Ling Xue is facing a siege of six people together?
At this time, the soft armor on Ling Xue's body was pierced several times, and the blood slowly overflowed along with the sword wound. The black veil that covered the face fell after this time, and the scattered hair covered the right half of the face, and the left side of the face showed a few scars like poisonous insects. This scar is more shocking than blood!
Xi Tou looked at Ling Xue who couldn't hide the scar with black hair in a daze, and suddenly laughed, bent down with laughter, and his voice made him staccato...... Ha ha...... It turned out that Ling Xue, who was once known as the fairy of Apo Mountain, was such an ugly appearance,...... Ha ha...... No wonder...... No wonder you never see people for who they really are. No wonder...... No wonder Gu Qingyi can't match you...... Haha......"
Apo Mountain, a small island overseas, surrounded by the sea. That small island is only about women, and it has been that way for thousands of years. Because the island is small, living a life without fighting with the world, most men live by fishing, and hundreds of thousands of people are buried in the name of the island under the sea all year round. With an already population of 100,000, the number of males is decreasing day by day. And Ling Xue is from there, and it is very likely that she will be the successor of the next generation of the island lord, and there is a most honorable title there-Holy Maiden.
Every wrinkle on the face tells the vicissitudes of time, and every scar on the body is like more stories than accidents. And Ling Xue's face was horribly injured, as if it was an indictment of the past, it must be an extremely difficult and unbearable past.
Ling Xue didn't look cramped because of Xi Tou's shameful smile, on the contrary, she stood up indifferently, reached out and stroked the hair that covered her face, she looked down at the scimitar in her hand that had been cut out of several gaps, sighed, and simply threw the scimitar to the ground with a "clang".
Xi Tou looked at the other half of Ling Xue's face with playful interest, and sighed: "Although there are some crow's feet at the corners of your eyes, judging from your flawless face on the right side, when you were young, you were worthy of the title of fairy, with a delicate and slender figure, a high nose bridge, and eyes as black as ink stones. It's just a pity ......"
It's a pity, of course, the left side of the face.
Ling Xue heard this, her face was calm, revealing a bright smile, and her neat white teeth showed a crystal clear white shell like a seaside pickup. She said in a voice like a moving song of a nightingale in the mountains: "It's really good, although I don't know who he is, I can see that he must be a powerful person as you say, I'm afraid ...... Cultivation has reached the realm of saints. ”
Ling Xue's gaze softened, her fingers on the six sword cultivators in the field, and continued: "In the early stage of the void, under the sword formation, I was able to make me so embarrassed and have no power to fight back, but this feeling of powerlessness has not been felt for many years. Very good......"
Xi Tou frowned, Ling Xue could still be so calm and calm in such a situation, and his soft gaze was full of weirdness in his eyes. In his heart, he kept thinking about whether Ling Xue had any other tricks. Of course, he wouldn't believe that Ling Xue could use the legendary charm technique, but he couldn't think of anything else Ling Xue could rely on.
Ling Xue took in Xi Tou's expression, she sneered, and said, "Why, is it possible that Brother Xi is still afraid that I will seriously injure a woman without a weapon in my hand?"
Xi Tou's gaze changed slightly, he looked up at the sky, and looked a few more times in the northwest direction, the struggle over there was over, and he was thinking about whether he should end the mission here as soon as possible.
A man in black next to him, who had never spoken from beginning to end, said in a stiff tone: "End it as soon as possible, and I will go back to my life later!"
Ling Xue cast an even more contemptuous and sneering gaze, as if to say, it turns out that you are nothing, you don't dare to take action in person, and even the Lord can't do it.
Xi Tou was instantly aroused by Ling Xue's disdainful eyes, but he still didn't dare to order and order the man in black as a superior, and said with a flattering smile in his tone: "Your Majesty said that it is best to live, besides, there is still some time, and she can't escape, why don't you rest on the spot to recover your strength?"
The man in black glanced at him coldly when he heard this, did not refute, and quietly took a few steps back to watch.
Xi Tou avoided the eyes of the man in black who looked at everyone as if he was looking at a dead person, turned back to Ling Xue and smiled: "Xue Niang has figured it out, if you can be obedient, I will intercede for you and let the Venerable heal the scar on your face, believe me, the Venerable must have such ability." ”
Ling Xue smiled, she really couldn't be interested in facing the hypocritical and polite Xi Tou, but she had to take into account Huang Xiaowei in the courtyard to delay the time as much as possible.
Ling Xue spoke: "I heard Brother Xi talking about some things about himself just now, and I suddenly wanted to know where Brother Xi didn't finish speaking, and I was curious about what happened next. Why don't I think about it after Brother Xi tells the whole story?"
Xi Tou still had a smile on his face, and he didn't show any anger at Ling Xuedi's avoidance of the topic, and he even guessed that Ling Xue's move was just delaying time. He set his eyes on the side room, and the door of the side room suddenly opened at this time, and Huang Xiaowei's weak body weakly pushed open the door, carrying a stubborn sword in his left hand. Hearing this, Xue Niang turned around, gently supported her, and placed her by the door to sit against the wall.
Whether Huang Xiaowei is awake or asleep, whether he is struggling or resigning to his fate, the result is still the same. None of them can change their fate. If it really doesn't work, I agreed to Xi Tou's conditions, and letting them let Huang Xiaowei go would be the best ending in the worst ending.
Aunt Xue gently hugged Huang Xiaowei in her arms, stopped her from saying anything, and said softly: "If you can, try to live." ”
To be alive is a happy thing.
Every day is like this, the days are not much, the days are not many, the days are not many. Even if it is boring to cultivate, explore the infinite mystery of the qi sea acupuncture points in the body; Even if you encounter some confused things to make yourself confused, even if you are guarding a bitter love, thinking of impossible people, even if you are blaming yourself for inferiority, you are still living, and only by living can you truly feel these things. Don't think about misery, don't think about human strife, and face death calmly.
However, Huang Xiaowei is still young, cardamom is young, and she also has a man she loves but never gets. It's just that she has more opportunities than herself, she has the opportunity to pursue the people she loves, has the opportunity to live a better life, tastes the sweets of the world, smiles to meet the soft dawn of the rising ground every day, goes to a mountain spring, and enjoys spring and sunset. She is the continuation of her own love. Even if it's just what she thinks.
Ling Xue didn't wait for Huang Xiaowei to reply, she stood up gently, and re-closed the door that she had pushed open, and through the crack in the door, the painting was still lying there quietly.
After doing all this, she no longer paid attention to Huang Xiaowei, who was crying silently with crystal tears in her eyes, walked down the steps, and said to Xi Tou: "Third Miss and I both want to hear your story, of course I know that you also have a certain interest in my story, I promise you, after you finish speaking, if there is still time, I will tell you slowly." Apo Mountain on the East Island has a wealth secret that you can't imagine. ”
Xi Tou smiled lightly, without revealing Ling Xue's procrastinating thoughts, and said, "Okay, you usually want to say a few words to Xue Niang, but you refuse coldly, today is rare for you to be interested, you might as well finish that story." ”
Xi Tou seemed to have found a scholar when he was angry, he coughed dryly, then stopped, and asked embarrassedly, "Where did I just talk?"
Ling Xue kindly reminded: "Speaking of ...... after you killed someone, vomit"
"Oh, yes, I was only five years old at that time, and I entered a state of madness like an evil demon entering my body, thinking that it was just revenge, but in fact, at that age, even if I picked up a sharp weapon, I had a little bit of strength at all, and the person who was hacked to death by me was more scared to death, I cut him with a lot of knives, but they were all indiscriminate. Xi Tou babbled and said, but when he talked about killing, he had a kind of excitement, "The rest of the people looked at me so little and I was so ruthless, and I couldn't help but beg for mercy in fright." If it weren't for that Confucian student, that is, my future master Dong Yizhuo, if he hadn't stopped me, I was afraid that I would have been subject to demons. This is what Master told me later. ”
Then I followed him and went with him to a small private school, where he was a teacher, with a dozen children of all sizes. Master said that I had killed too much, and that the evil spirits had already entered my body at that time, so he carefully taught me Confucian knowledge, so that I could let go of my grudges, learn to be kind, to learn to love, to try to enlighten the wise, to try to educate the world. He said that the purpose of reading is to distinguish between right and wrong, and to know right from wrong. Let yourself know what you can and can't do later. What I want to learn most is his ability to kill, he has always rejected me, he said that killing people is not only by force, he wants me to become the kind of general who protects the country and kills the enemy in a decisive battle thousands of miles away, he said that there was such a figure in his lord. One enemy is not as good as a hundred enemies, a hundred enemies is not as good as ten thousand enemies, and above ten thousand enemies are ten thousand enemies. After understanding right and wrong, right and wrong, doing something right is what I should do. It's a pity that I was too young at that time, but I couldn't understand many of his big truths. All I remember is one thing, and that is, eating is about living. ”
"Extremely ridiculous, isn't it? After reading the books of the sages, you must understand the rites of the sages. When I really understand a little, guess what happened next?" Xi Tou winked at Ling Xue, and he slowly walked behind the black-clothed men, who stood there quietly like pillars with their swords raised. Degree of literature
