Chapter 26 (Li Li's Branches)
Li Li only felt that her head was buzzing like a bell. Without hesitation, he slashed the purple green tribulation towards the man in black almost frantically. When the last person was killed, Ziqing Tribulation suddenly stopped at the throat of the enemy, and Li Li's eyes shot out a cold light, which was cold to the bone.
"Who told you to kill me! Say! ”
The man in black trembled: "I... We have been entrusted by the King of Heaven... He didn't finish speaking, and as soon as Li Li gave him the short sword, he was no longer allowed to continue.
kicked away the remnants of the man in black, and the guilt swept through every inch of his heart, Li Li's fingers trembled and reached out to hug Xia Ye's weak body, tears sliding down: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..."
Summer Night was tortured and could no longer support it at the moment, she used all her strength to raise her hand and try to wipe away his tears: "They asked me if I had seen you...... I... I... I didn't say..."Before the words fell, the hand fell weakly. Li Li only felt her body tremble, knowing that from now on in this world, there will be no more gentle eye waves on summer nights.
Li Li's whole heart sank into darkness. He stood in the rain until the rain stopped, and he was still like this, holding the body of the summer night. As the night fell, he finally made up his mind, bowed his head and kissed her forehead gently, and walked out of the door silently with her in his arms.
Early the next morning, Li Li left the village. He had an extra thin black braid on his forehead, made from the hair of a summer night. From this day on, the braid never left his forehead again. He will always remember a girl named Summer Night, who helped him recognize the path he should choose in the future at the cost of his own innocent death. At the end of this road, there is Ren Qingmei.
Li Li took a bath in the wild river, cleaned up the blood stains all over his body, and then went on the road. He wrapped his face tightly and walked on the path. asked about the location of Dongting Lake at a farmhouse, and set off silently all the way to the Tianwang Gang. It was inevitable that there would be many people blocking the way along the way, and Li Li was no longer afraid, and gradually coped with it easily. Li Li has benefited a lot along the way, in addition to becoming more and more refined in swordsmanship, he has also slowly learned how to sneak to avoid the enemy's edge. Although the road is remote and difficult to travel, and the life is open, it is worth it to be untracked. But even so, he was still cautious, and asked a blacksmith to create a mask for himself that covered half of his face, and usually covered it with a turban, which became even more mysterious and difficult to find.
That night, after making sure that no one was following him, he was willing to take a nap on this lawn. A small insect gently bit him, interrupting his memory, he reached out to cage the little worm, and let go of his hand to let the little worm fly away, smirked a few times, and suddenly felt a little hungry. I remembered that in the evening, I saw a few cooking smoke rising in the southwest, and I thought that there was a small inn or a small farmer.
Although Li Li has accepted the status quo, these days he has been roasting field chickens and digging wild vegetables every day, and the young master's stomach for many years will occasionally have an opinion. Anyway, it's been confirmed safe, and I haven't eaten a normal meal for a long time. Why don't you go to the cooking place and have a look, and you can order something ready-made.
He sneaked all the way and finally found a small village. He sneaked into a humble inn in the village, took advantage of the dead of night to find some leftovers of steamed buns, and immediately feasted on them to fill his stomach. I was thinking about how to spend the night, when I suddenly heard someone slamming the door outside the inn. He dodged behind a tall wine rack, which was covered by a red cloth curtain, so that he could hide and observe the movement outside. Afraid that someone was going to chase him, Li Li didn't dare to slack off, and clenched the Ziqing Tribulation in his right hand, ready to attack. Suddenly, I heard a clear female voice calling urgently from outside the door: "Shop, shop, invest in the store!" ”
As soon as he heard the voice of a woman, he thought that it was not a pursuer, and his mood immediately relaxed a lot, so he sat down against the wall, but his eyes did not take off the outside. The shopkeeper was woken up, and he opened the door to the visitor sleepily with his shoes in tow: "Staying in the store? Fifty dollars a night, drinks and meals are separated. ”
The starlight outside the door was bright, and although Li Li was behind the tent, he could see it clearly, and he secretly praised her beauty in her heart. Although he had a heart, the woman he saw at this time was really the only person he had ever seen in the past nineteen years that could be called stunning. Even if he was ordered to describe Xiao Yezi's face, it was just some vulgar words such as cute, beautiful, coquettish and moving. But the woman in the yellow shirt in front of him can instantly remind him of the "fluttering like a frightening dragon, graceful like a swimming dragon" in Luo Shenfu when he was a child, "Magnificent and elegant, quiet and leisurely", or the poet's "beautiful colors cover the present and the ancient, the lotus flowers are shy and jade", or "look at the city, and then look at the country", and so on, such poems and phrases are gushing in his mind at this moment. It seems that only the title of the Nine Heavens Goddess can be worthy of such a beautiful person.
However, looking at her cold expression, like a Lingxiao flower growing on the cliff, although noble and beautiful, she has no sense of affinity, and is more inclined to the arrogant conceit of "tasting the peerless color and recovering the posture of the city". Compared with Xiao Yezi's vivid color, the beauty in front of her, even if she is really a fairy, is really not Li Li's dish. What's more, she is now in the dust, looking anxious and tired, although she does not hide her bright color, she is just a passerby in Li Li's eyes.
However, there must be something strange about such a woman who casts in the store late at night.
The shopkeeper didn't expect the visitor to be a stunning beauty, and was shocked by her beauty for a while, and was speechless.
The woman in the yellow shirt flashed into the store, stretched out her hand to straighten her somewhat messy hair, and asked, "There is a remote vacant room upstairs, and there is no one around, I like to be quieter." ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Don't worry, girl, it's a coincidence today, only the girl is in the store." There was no one else upstairs. ”
The woman in the yellow shirt raised her hand and rewarded the store with an ingot of gold, and said, "Very good." You will go out for the night, and I am not used to having people live with me. Hurry up, hurry away. ”
This ingot of gold was enough to buy this small shop, although the shopkeeper was puzzled, but when he saw that she was generous, he nodded and went back to wake up his wife and children, and went to the next villager to rub the bed.
The woman in the yellow shirt stared at the shopkeeper and left, then she floated upstairs, hid in one of the rooms, and closed the door.
Li Li, who was hiding in the shadows, looked at it coldly, only to feel inexplicable. But that's fine, at least he can sleep in this shop all night, so as not to sleep in the wilderness, and he is grateful to the woman in the yellow shirt. He yawned, and was about to squint for a moment, when he suddenly heard a faint whistle from far away in the quiet night. Although the whistle was sharp, the sound was so small that if it weren't for his land enemy's skill, he would never have heard it.
Could it be that those people in the rivers and lakes are catching up again? He tensed and fell to the ground, listening intently. Sure enough, I heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from far and near, and in an instant, I heard the neighing of horses in front of the store. He got up, slowly half-pulled out the purple green tribulation on his waist, bowed and half-knelt, ready to go.
Sure enough, I heard a loud bang, and one door and two windows had been knocked open. Six black-clad masked men worked in pairs and turned inside through the doorway window at the same time. There are many people outside the door, and there seem to be comrades in the party. The man in black shouted loudly: "Miss Xue, you led my brothers here, but you hid in the building, such a move by the rat generation will inevitably lose the reputation of the Heavenly King Gang." I have heard that Miss Xue is known as the moon god in the clouds, and they all say that you are the fairy Chang'e of Cloud City. Several of my brothers have been famous for a long time, but they have never had the opportunity to see them. Gathering here tonight is also a fate. It's better to ask Miss Xue to go downstairs and accompany our brothers to have a few happy things, and it won't be in vain that we have come all the way from Yanjin. The brothers said, isn't it? ”
Several other people either sneered or agreed, although they covered their faces, Li Li could also guess their ugly faces at the moment, and his heart felt a burst of disgust. Since he didn't come to him, he didn't have to mix in the rest of the disputes, and he would look at the trends and then deal with them.
But I heard the woman in the yellow shirt upstairs respond: "Yanjin is a barbarian, bullying more and less, and daring to make a big statement!" Have the ability to go upstairs and try the girl's methods! Although she wanted to answer loudly, Li Li could already hear that she was out of breath and seemed to be injured.
The black-clad leader glanced at his subordinates. The five subordinates immediately divided into different directions and slowly outflanked the upstairs room. The leader was still standing on the ground, and said loudly: "I heard that Zhaoyin women can't meet guests casually, let's follow the customs of the locals, and we won't force you." Brothers, let's just sit here and wait. Anyway, Miss Xue has been on the road for several days, we are big men, and we have to be a little graceful. Second, go get a pot of wine and catch a chicken. When Miss Xue is hungry and thirsty, she will naturally come down to accompany a few of us to drink wine and eat meat. When I came in just now, I seemed to see a daughter-in-law next to me who had a good birth. The woman upstairs stopped talking.
Before the words fell, I heard that the house next door to the inn seemed to be broken into, screaming and screaming. Li Li was furious in his heart, thinking that these Yanjin people were so shameless! Seeing that the woman upstairs did not respond, he wanted her to be safe for the time being, so he leaned down, slipped out of the back door of the inn, and sneaked to the house next door to save people. Seeing that the two black-clothed men were doing evil in the private house, and seeing that they were unscrupulous and turned their backs to him, Li Li hid in the shadows, took advantage of their unpreparedness, quickly solved them with a sword, silently solved them, and quietly slipped back. As soon as he entered the back door, he found that a man in black had touched the door of the yellow-shirted woman's room, and he couldn't help but be a little worried. Unexpectedly, when the man in black touched the door, he did not break in, but took out a round pill from his arms and stuffed it through the crack in the door. After a while, I saw smoke spilling out of the crack in the door of the yellow-shirted woman's house. But the woman in the yellow shirt was still silent, as if there was no one in the room.
The black-clothed leader heard that there was no restlessness next door, and when he saw that the woman in the yellow shirt still did not react, he couldn't bear it anymore. With a wave of his hand, the man in black at the door of the second floor kicked open the door of the woman in the yellow shirt. Suddenly, white smoke poured out from the house, and the man in black was immediately shrouded in smoke. I only heard a scream, a golden light flashed, and the man in black had fallen from the second floor, and there was a bloody hole in his chest.
Li Li looked fixedly, only to see a yellow shadow with golden light leaping out of the white mist, and his body was neat and fast, like a feather, fluttering lightly in the middle of the hall on the first floor. The door was wide open, and the starlight outside the room overflowed into the room, and Li Li saw that she was carrying a set of metal gauntlets in her right hand, and three gold wires were pulled out from the gauntlets, and they became extremely thin three long whips. Such a magical weapon is rare.
The five of them immediately surrounded the woman in the yellow shirt, and the leader in black laughed: "Miss Xue really lives up to her reputation and is extraordinary. Brothers, sweep the battle for my brother and see how my brother entertains this Pioneer Hall Master of Cloud City! The four people around laughed, as if the woman in the yellow shirt had become a turtle in the urn, and let the mermaid meat.
The woman in the yellow shirt sneered: "Let you have a life to come, but no life to go!" With a flick of her arms and whip, the three strands of gold were twisted into one, and swept towards the leader of the men in black like a breaking wind. Seeing the ferocity of the whip, the black-clothed leader jumped and dodged the blow. The woman in the yellow shirt whipped and attacked again, one move and one style were extremely domineering, the whip shadow was everywhere, flying sand and stones. Although she looks weak, she wields a whip but is arrogant, quite splashing ink, and has the atmosphere of a battlefield. She made a golden whip, which was already golden when she danced, and at this moment she danced into a solid golden barrier, and she also switched between attack and defense, obviously with a family history. But the black-clothed leader is no less impressive, his figure changes as quickly as a ghost, and he can always find a gap in the flickering of the whip shadow and dodge in a very dangerous place.
Although Li Li didn't know much martial arts, he was outside the bureau and still saw the doorway: although the four black-clothed people around him were not far away, they had secretly formed a four-cornered formation. The woman in the yellow shirt was trapped in it and couldn't get out. It was precisely on this point that the black-clothed leader did not use all his strength, but only fought with the woman in the yellow shirt. The woman in the yellow shirt was already injured, and every move was a fierce faction, which was extremely exhausting. Although the leader of the men in black shuttled and flew, it was far less labor-saving than the women in yellow shirts. After a long time, the woman in the yellow shirt lost her strength, and when she came out again, it was much slower than at the beginning, and the whip was not as strong as at the beginning. It seems that the man in black also relied on his martial arts to see that the woman in the yellow shirt was an upright person, and she was injured, so she resorted to this rogue trick in an attempt to win without a fight.
Li Li's contempt in his heart was extreme, no matter what situation he was in, he couldn't ignore such a bully. Seeing the woman in the yellow shirt screaming, she had fallen to the ground, and it was difficult to escape the humiliation, she didn't come out at this time, when would she stay? He grabbed a wine bowl beside him, condensed his wrist, raised his hand and threw it. The wine bowl was like an arrow from the string, whistling through the air, and with a bang, it hit the left cheek of the black-clothed leader!
The black-clothed leader was unprepared to be hit by the wine bowl, and his figure deviated in severe pain, and he almost fell to the ground. Several black-clothed people immediately became vigilant and searched around, and the black-clothed leader spit out the blood in his mouth with a sigh, and said angrily: "Which friend is here?" What kind of hero is a man who plots against others? Come out and fight with the master for 300 rounds! ”
A cold and clear male voice came from behind the tabernacle: "You are allowed to bully and bully women, and you are not allowed to be plotted against you?" Funny! ”
The woman in the yellow shirt sat on the ground, panting, but she did not forget to raise her eyes to look at the tabernacle. As soon as the tent was lifted, a lean masked man in linen strode out of it, holding his sword in front of his chest with his hands crossed, half of his face was covered by a mask, and his appearance could not be seen clearly, but his temperament was clear and his body was flexible, and he knew at a glance that he was a young man with a high spirit.
