Chapter Twenty-Nine: Participating in the Consultation
Life is sent for a lifetime, and it is like a storm. (Note)
Hearing Fu Yuanyu ask that sentence, not only was everyone in the Martial Arts League stunned on the spot, but even Bu Hanying herself was stunned for a moment.
The Blood Sea Snake Fu Yuanyu, the famous sword Zang Feng Bu Hanying.
If you want to kill the world's number one demon, you must ask the world's number one swordsman to take action, in the eyes of many people, this is a natural thing, and only a few people know how sad this matter is.
Because they were righteous brothers who had been friends of the eight worships.
That year, Fu Yuanyu was eighteen years old, Bu Hanying was sixteen years old, they met in Weimo, and they knew each other in adversity.
Time flies like a meteor, thirty-two years have passed in the blink of an eye, the back waves of the rivers and lakes push the front waves, a generation of new people replace the old people, there are not many people who remember their friendship, half of them are present, and these people are secretive, it is the younger generations of the late generations who talk about them, only one sentence "good and evil are not separated" summed up the life of 30 years.
The fire in Feixian Tower became bigger and bigger, and the speed at which the hull collapsed became faster and faster, Fu Yuanyu was the first to fly ashore, and the others followed closely behind, surrounding him with the river bank as the boundary, and he disdained these open swords and dark arrows, and his eyes fell on Bu Hanying from beginning to end.
Finally, Bu Hanying untied a sheepskin wine bag from his waist and threw it over.
Fu Yuanyu raised his hand to catch it, and he didn't suspect that the other party was drugged, opened the stopper and poured a big sip, not wanting this wine to be extremely strong, the red tassel blood has become daughter red compared to it, he was caught off guard and choked, coughing and his face was red, but he was reluctant to spit out the wine, but instead took another sip, this time he tasted it carefully, his eyes lit up, and he smiled: "Good wine!" It's just that the taste is a little strange, first sweet and then bitter, the wine is strong and cold like ice, what is this called? ”
Bu Hanying said: "Participate in business." ”
Fu Yuanyu's fingers holding the wine bag trembled, and when everyone was worried, he raised his head and drank the last sip of wine, with a smile on his face again, stared at Bu Hanying up and down a few times, and asked, "Where is your Zangfeng?" ”
"I didn't bring it."
"You're here to kill me, but you don't have a sword?" Fu Yuanyu was a little surprised, "Or do you think the things I gave me are dirty, and you have already abandoned them?" ”
Bu Hanying was walking in the Central Plains back then, and his personal weapon was an umbrella sword, which was built by Fu Yuanyu with a lot of manpower and material resources, and the umbrella surface was woven from the invulnerable silk of the sky, and the thin sword hidden in the hollow umbrella bone was made of Beihai Xuaniron, the only one in the world, and countless small people flocked to it, and his reputation as the world's first swordsman was originally started by stepping on these people.
Bu Hanying shook his head and said, "I swore an oath to give an umbrella to a friend and a sword to an enemy." ”
Fu Yuanyu asked reluctantly: "You don't bring it, is it because I am neither in your heart?" ”
"No, because you're both."
When the onlookers heard this conversation, their faces were not very good-looking, and the most ugly one belonged to Fang Huaiyuan.
Fang Huaiyuan had already gone ashore, the cold and biting river water had killed his face bloodless, the sword that penetrated his shoulder had been pulled out, Mu Qing hurriedly rushed over to bandage him to stop the bleeding, but he was slowly pushed away, the heavy sword was pressed under his palm, and the blade of the sword was just facing forward, but he didn't know who it was aimed at.
Bu Hanying's sword saved him from the fire, he should have been grateful, but Fang Huaiyuan knew more than the others, and he also considered more, the more grateful he was to the other party, the more he knew that the other party should not say these words.
Twelve years ago, Fu Yuanyu assassinated the generalissimo of Zhenbei first, involved rebellion, and killed innocent people in the back, and overnight from the master of the Mending Heaven Sect who controlled half of the martial arts to the public enemy of the world, although Bu Hanying had already broken with him, but he did not plan to participate in the crusade of the various factions of the martial arts, not only that he was an outsider, but also that he did not want to draw his sword with Fu Yuanyu.
However, he still made an appointment with Fu Yuanyu to fight in the Evening Clear Valley, and the fight was a lose-lose.
Others only think of the cold and heroic and thin clouds, but Fang Huaiyuan knows the secret, listening to the Yuge at that time to search for the members of the Flying Star Alliance, he remembered the Nine Palaces even more, even if there is no real evidence, just a little chasing the wind and shadows, they will turn into mad dogs and bite them.
Bu Hanying refused to participate in the war, they suspected that he was one of the nine palaces, and he was born in the cold mountains outside the Guan, and held the most important moat between the borders of Wule and Dajing, and it was a place where soldiers could attack and retreat and defend, and many scattered northern tribes were in the same breath, seemingly inconspicuous, but in fact, the forces were widely implicated, no matter which side was eyeing this place, but they did not dare to touch it easily, if they could find the mistake of grabbing Bu Hanying from the head, they could find the opportunity to nail the wedge into the cold mountain, and gnaw off the flesh and bone of the cold mountain.
Therefore, although Bu Hanying did not join the Baidao Alliance, he made an appointment to fight with Fu Yuanyu in his personal name.
No one watched the battle that time, only knew that Bu Hanying lost, and Fu Yuanyu also won miserably, which greatly increased the chances of winning the battle of Wahuang Peak for the Baidao Alliance, but this hero who defeated the enemy's head did not drink a sip of celebration wine, and left the Central Plains and retreated to Hanshan in the name of recuperating from his injuries.
Everything seemed to be settled, but Fang Huaiyuan knew that Tingyu Pavilion had never given up.
Although Empress Dowager Xiao is a female streamer, she has ambitions that are not inferior to Wuzong, although Hanshan and Dajing are friendly neighbors, and most of the clansmen are mixed with Jing blood, but in the final analysis, they are still people who sleep soundly, they are strong because of the moat, and they are also feared.
Under the will of the Empress Dowager Xiao, listening to Yuge's suspicion of Bu Hanying always existed, and he couldn't act rashly, so he tried his best to separate the two identities of the master of Hanshan and the swordsman of Zangfeng, and this time he vigorously promoted the matter of the Ten Grace Orders, not only to kill Fu Yuanying by the hand of Bu Hanying, but also to use Fu Yuanyu to deal with Bu Hanying, it is best to be able to end up together, and it is not bad to lose both, and the left and right Bu Hanying is to follow the oath and re-enter the Central Plains, and the decisive battle with him is the demon Fu Yuanyu, who is spurned by the Dajing government and the opposition, and life and death and disability can not be involved in others, On the contrary, it can bring an opportunity to take advantage of, if you can eat away at the cold mountain with the death of Bu Hanying, and add another moat to the northern frontier defense, listening to the rain pavilion can be regarded as a great achievement for the country and the people.
They want Bu Hanying to die, just like they want Fu Yuanyu's life.
For the sake of the Martial Arts League, Fang Huaiyuan must agree to this matter, but he doesn't want to see Bu Hanying give Fu Yuanyu a funeral, some people are guilty of great crimes and death, but some people should do good deeds to get good results.
"It's getting late." Fang Huaiyuan held the heavy sword, and his gaze swept over the two people in the field like lightning, "Fu Yuanyu, the old man has seen it, and he has drunk the severed head wine, it's time to hit the road." ”
After a pause, he looked at Bu Hanying again: "The Lord of Bushan has come from afar, he must be physically and mentally tired, so it is better to wait for me to wait for the formation first, and wait for the chaos to be found by this demon and escape." ”
After that, Fang Huaiyuan waved his arms, and everyone clenched their swords, obviously not going to talk to Fu Yuanyu about the rules of fighting alone, the latter was slightly surprised when he saw this, and then he didn't laugh angrily, and said without sarcasm: "Okay, which hero will come first?" ”
At this moment, a fast horse rushed over, like a bowl of cold water poured into a hot oil pot, everyone was startled at first, and several almost shot arrows, but fortunately they recognized the person in time, and they all showed surprise.
"Alliance Leader!"
Without waiting for Le Ma, the person who came jumped down directly, and it was Liu Yishou, who was ordered to stay at the North and South Inn!
Fang Huaiyuan frowned, and it was not easy to say anything else in front of everyone, so he asked directly, "What's wrong?" ”
"The subordinates have a heavy trust, the kid surnamed Xue ran away, and he still ......" Liu hesitated, but he didn't dare to hide it, "He also kidnapped the little boy." ”
In fact, Liu Yishou did not arrive at the mansion, and found that something was wrong when he walked halfway, although the person who came to pick him up with a token responded with the same demeanor, but the appearance was a fresh face, saying that he was taken to the mansion by the order of Zhanyu, and refused to reveal what the matter was, and led him to a remote place halfway, and was discovered by Liu Yishou, and after the knife, he forced out several black-clothed killers who were ambushed on the side, and his martial arts were not weak, and he committed suicide by taking poison immediately after the defeat.
Liu Yishou knew that it was not good, and on the way back, he bumped into Zhanyu and his party, and learned that they had just entered the city, and they had not been to the government at all, and they did not send someone to send a letter for help.
When Liu Yishou saw the blood letter, his heart was half cold, and he didn't have time to scold Xue Hongbi for being ungrateful and really a thief, afraid that something would happen to Fang Yongyan, so he hurriedly hurried to meet Fang Huaiyuan.
“…… That kid is very alert, we haven't found his whereabouts yet, he uses the little boy as a threat, presumably he won't poison him for a while, but ......"
If it drags on a little longer, it may not be the case.
Xue Hongbi took the risk of kidnapping Fang Yongyu and left this blood letter, the meaning of "one life for one life" is very simple, if Fu Yuanyu dies in their hands, Fang Huaiyuan may only be able to find the bones of his own son, this kid is not very old but very vicious, and wants to use this method to fight for Fu Yuanyu to live.
It's a pity that he doesn't know Fang Huaiyuan well enough.
Everyone was anxiously waiting for Fang Huaiyuan to make a decision, Fang Huaiyuan just took a deep breath, put away the blood book, and said to Liu Yishou: "Send someone to find it, he can't escape from Jiangcheng with Yongyun." ”
After that, he clenched his heavy sword again, and said coldly to Fu Yuanyu: "You have done everything you can, but you have done a lot of evil, even if it is for the sake of many innocent dead, we will not allow you to live through tonight." ”
Someone was originally secretly ruthless Fang Huaiyuan, and when he heard this, his heart was awe-inspiring, and the field immediately became tense, but Fu Yuanyu was stunned, and he didn't seem to expect this change.
“…… Silly boy, I want to die. ”
His murmur was very soft, and only Bu Hanying was present who heard it.
Fang Huaiyuan made a decision, Jiang Tianyang, the leader of the Haitian Gang, was the first to make a move, his weapon was a nine-ring knife, but it didn't make a sound when he waved it, which showed that the skill was profound, and the seemingly cumbersome blade arrived in front of Fu Yuanyu in just a moment, almost brushing his neck, and the wind split on a tree with a thick bowl mouth, and the body of the tree immediately broke off and collapsed.
A knife did not close the momentum, Fu Yuanyu's snake whip had been swung out, the whip head directly took Jiang Tianyang's head, Rao is latter retreated in time, the long whip trembled like a snake shadow, a few circles and chased up, wrapped around him holding the knife with his right hand and dragged it forward, the falling blade happened to split on the iron rod of the beggar gang leader Wang Chengjiao, in an instant, sparks burst out, Fu Yuanyu stepped on it with one foot and got up with his strength, his wrist flipped, the long whip circled, tied the two of them together, and threw it at the rain of knives, guns and swords that surrounded him.
Xie Ange, the head of Wangshumen, has excellent swordsmanship, she uses a light sword, at this time she joined forces with Fang Huaiyuan to fight, helping each other with light and heavy, combining rigidity and softness, forcibly forcing Fu Yuanyu down from mid-air, besieging his hands with one left and one right, and suppressing the snake whip for other colleagues, but unfortunately this old demon has faced many people for many years to besiege and kill, and has long learned the true meaning of using strength to fight, and when he noticed that the weapon was controlled, he decisively leaned over his waist, and the light sword and heavy sword clashed against his back, he was not afraid of danger, and he swept and stumbled on the spot, and directly dragged two to block the sword for himself, If it weren't for Xie Ange and Fang Huaiyuan's timely withdrawal, they would have killed two lives by mistake this time!
Caught in a predicament this time, although Fu Yuanyu couldn't escape from the encirclement, they couldn't help him for a while, they were easy to be killed by him with a knife, and no one was his opponent when he fought alone, only the wheel war slowly consumed him to death, but in this way, it was destined to suffer a lot of casualties, which was not what Fang Huaiyuan and others were happy to see.
Seeing that the battle situation had shifted from a strong attack to a delay, Bu Hanying sighed and took a step forward from the rear of the pressure formation.
He was seven or eight zhang away from Fu Yuanyu, separated by countless figures and sword lights, this step was shaky, like Feihong stepping on the snow and stepping on someone's head, snatching a sword casually, and in an instant he reached the top of Fu Yuanyu's head, his feet twisted the flying snake whip in the air, and pulled Fu Yuanyu out of the encirclement, and the two of them faced each other in mid-air, and the wind brought by the collision of internal forces pressed the clothes of everyone below, and shook the snow and dead leaves.
"You and my brother have a ......"
In a blink of an eye, the two of them each landed on the top of a tree, looked at each other across the snow, Bu Hanying crossed the sword in front, and said word by word: "Your life, I will take it." ”
"Hahaha, that's how it should be!"
Fu Yuanyu laughed wildly, this laughter did not fall, and he raised his hand and slashed away with a whip!
This whip was not fancy, and went straight to the door of Bu Hanying, who flew away like a cloud, and the whip split on the tree, and actually split the whole tree in half, and everyone was shocked, but they didn't expect that this old demon had been fighting for half a night, but instead of exhaustion, it became more and more fierce.
A whip missed, Fu Yuanyu waved his arm, and it was seven lashes aggressively, even hitting Bu Hanying's body in seven places, eating others in mid-air and not advancing or retreating, and then rose up again, drawing a circle from top to bottom, and wanted to trap the person, but Bu Hanying abandoned the sword and raised his hand to grab the whip, and his right hand caught the long sword obliquely upward, stabbing Fu Yuan's armpit from the side.
This sword came unpredictably, although Fu Yuanyu avoided it quickly, he was still pierced by the tip of the sword on his shoulder blade, and a drop of blood flowed through the blade of the sword, he shook his long whip to open the distance, like a fluctuating ghost wandering around Bu Hanying's body, and his eyesight was poor, he only heard the sound of the wind and disappeared, which showed the speed of the body and the treachery of the whip!
In an instant, the long whip turned into a net to trap Bu Hanying in a square inch, he simply closed his eyes and turned sideways to avoid it, and at the same time swept away the whip with a backhand sword, and ran out of an arrow step to the left, rubbing his palm into a knife with his left hand, and slashed it down with his left arm, the latter snorted, grabbed his wrist and dragged it down, and both of them fell down the treetops and landed on a messy snow.
Stepping on the ground, Bu Hanying did not hesitate for a moment, bent his elbow and raised his arm to block Fu Yuanyu's leaning impact, his right hand flipped the blade of the sword and stabbed back, as soon as he touched Fu Yuanyu's neck, he leaned back to avoid it, and at the same time, the whip turned back and wrapped up, like a devouring poisonous snake around Bu Hanying's waist. The two fought in close quarters, the last move was just shot, the next move was ready to go, the whip shadow was flying, the sword light was frosty, and the sound of breaking the sky was endless, who had the upper hand for a moment, and then he was going to be asked back, and it was difficult to distinguish for a while.
In the end, Fu Yuanyu's weapon finally won the game, and when the iron sword was twisted by the snake whip again, it was finally overwhelmed, and it shattered with a few "clicks", Bu Hanying shot like lightning and grabbed a broken blade and wiped it towards Fu Yuanyu's throat, the snake whip turned back and hit him on the back, and the white clothes suddenly oozed blood, but he didn't blink, his fingers flipped like a lotus flower, and the broken blade became a haunting flower in his palm, three steps away in a blink of an eye, and the next moment it was within reach.
Everyone looked extremely nervous, but Fang Huaiyuan and Xie Ange frowned, and just as the two of them distanced themselves again, Xie Ange raised his hand violently and threw his sword towards Bu Hanying.
Compared with Fang Huaiyuan's heavy sword, Xie Ange's sword is two fingers wide and weighs four catties, it is an out-and-out light sword, which looks vulnerable, but Bu Hanying knew that it was a good sword as soon as he started it, and he didn't have time to thank him, the snake whip came again, he waved his arm, and the light sword flew like a fly, and it collided with the whip.
Fu Yuanyu's moves are strange, Bu Hanying's swordsmanship is elegant, the former's internal strength is deep and endless, and the latter's moves are naturally watertight, and it is difficult to distinguish between them after hundreds of rounds. Seeing that it was about to turn into a protracted battle, Bu Hanying's swordsmanship suddenly changed, but seeing that he made a mistake under his feet, his figure flashed in front of Fu Yuanyu, but his back hit his chest, the long sword was changed to his left hand, his right arm was erected to block the Xuan Snake Whip, and the long sword on the left side rushed out from his armpit, and three swords came out in a blink of an eye, and he didn't look at the three key points of stabbing Fu Yuanyu's throat, heart, and dantian!
If the previous swordsmanship was flowing with clouds and water, now it is a storm.
Caught off guard, Fu Yuanyu only avoided two swords, when the chest sword only relied on the strength of the interception, the sword blade really entered the flesh for half a minute, he couldn't get an inch, he couldn't bear to swing out a palm and hit Bu Hanying's vest, the lips of the two of them were red at the same time, and they immediately staggered again.
Fu Yuanyu made a vicious move, and after shaking the person away with one palm, he rolled up the long whip upside down, and the Xuan Snake looked back and took straight to the neck of Bu Hanying, if he wanted to retreat with his whole body, he had to run diagonally to the left, and he had already stood there one step ahead and waited for Han Ying to throw himself into the net.
Advance is death, and retreat is death.
Some people issued warnings, some covered their mouths and exclaimed, and some people closed their eyes and did not dare to look again.
However, Bu Hanying stood still and did not move, only raised his hand at the moment when Fu Yuanyu stood still.
In an instant, the flying stars were swaying, and the cold light was broken.
What else is there besides a meteor that flickers away in the night?
Fu Yuanyu's eyes were discolored, only that little bit of cold light broke through the sky from small to big, before the wind was harsh, his chest suddenly cooled, and the power of the rushing face broke through the face, as if there was a thousand pins hitting his chest, when he didn't have time to react, his feet had slipped backwards a foot away, his back hit the trunk of the tree heavily, the snow shook down, and he fell all over his head, as if his head was white in a flash.
At the same time, because of the movement of the master's body, the Xuan Snake Whip missed its original head and hit Bu Hanying's left arm, with a "snap", blood splattered, and the narrow scar was deep and visible!
All the sounds of the world disappeared in this instant.
Everyone's eyes widened.
Fu Yuanyu slowly lowered his head and saw a sword piercing his heart, and the half of the sword body exposed on his chest was still trembling.
He was not leaning against the trunk of a tree, but was nailed up by a long sword.
Meteors fly by, and white rainbows pierce the sun.
The same sword move, Fu Yuanyu saw it twice tonight, the first time was to save Fang Huaiyuan, and the second time was to kill him.
He suddenly laughed, his blood-stained hand grasped the hilt of the sword, and wanted to pull out the long sword that pierced the bone into the wood, this sword was nailed too deep, and the force was also great, and Fu Yuanyu couldn't pull it out with the only remaining internal force, so his hand grasped the blade, regardless of the stinging pain in the palm, the internal force was swallowed in an instant, and he wanted to break the blade.
However, a hand pressed against the end of the hilt before he could exert his strength, pushing the remaining half of the blade forward little by little.
Fu Yuanyu raised his head and faced the blood-stained face of Shangbu Hanying, the blood was his and his own.
"You ......"
The bloodstained palm grabbed Bu Hanying's wrist instead, and the internal force penetrated the body, making a tooth-aching bone squeezing sound, such a bone-destroying pain, Bu Hanying's face was not even moved, and his right palm was also pushed up, holding the hilt of the sword with both hands, the blade penetrated the flesh and blood, cutting off the ribs, and the organ hidden in it was also twisted into a hole and poured into the cold wind.
At an inopportune time, Fu Yuanyu remembered that he had gone to the countryside earlier and saw a group of children playing with grasshoppers, they grabbed the grasshoppers that were jumping around, and used thin and sharp straw poles to pass through them, and soon a string of grasshoppers was still dying.
He's like a grasshopper now.
The right hand that had fallen was clenched again, and the snake whip rolled upside down, this time it finally wrapped around Bu Hanying's neck, but he didn't have the strength to twist his head, so he could only drag it down, they got too close, Fu Yuanyu bit Bu Hanying's shoulder, and blood oozed out of the white clothes.
Bu Hanying was still silent, and his subordinates did not let go.
Everyone was shocked by this scene, and no one dared to step forward, so they could only watch as the dying and struggling demon seemed to be trying his best to tear off a piece of meat from Bu Hanying's shoulder.
In fact, Bu Hanying only felt pain for a moment.
Half of Fu Yuanyu's face was blocked by his shoulder, his voice was as weak as a whisper, and he murmured in his ear: "Thirty-two years of Pingkang...... Gourd Peak ...... Brotherhood ......"
——"On the afternoon of the thirteenth year of Pingkang, the top of the Hulu Mountain in Yunzhou was clear. ”
- "Under Fu Yuanyu." ”
- "In the next step, Hanying. ”
- "The two of us are like-minded, and we are here today to worship, and the spiritual officer testifies, heaven and earth are allied, and they form brotherhood, and they oath to be brothers and sisters, and they are entrusted with life and death, and they will be blessed and enjoyed in the future, and they will not be burdened with each other in their lives, and if they violate this oath, those who have betrayed their promises should be destroyed by heaven and earth, and the gods will not bless them, and they will not die well." ”
Bright red blood, pale snow, gradually mixed into a pile under the feet.
A tear silently flowed across Bu Hanying's right cheek, and he closed his eyes.
“…… Han Ying, what is this sword called? ”
Bu Hanying said in a low voice: "...... Participating in business, the day of wine is also the day of sword. ”
Life is not seen, and it is like a participant. (Note 2)
The last blade sank into his chest, and the hilt rested between the two of them, like a chasm that they could not cross even from half their lives to death.
Fu Yuanyu finally raised his head, and quietly stared at Bu Hanying's face in a place that everyone couldn't see, and laughed silently, blood spilling from the corners of his mouth.
"Participation in business...... That's a good name. He whispered, "In this life, it really ...... Never again. ”
A sword pierced the heart, blood gushed like a spring, a person's life collapsed like flowing water at this moment, the long whip fell on the bloodstained snow with a "snap", and the hands that turned the clouds and rain slowly drooped.
There was a faint movement in the woods, as if someone had stepped on a dead branch and fell, and no one noticed it at this juncture, except for Bu Hanying, who had excellent ear power, but he didn't look at it, and he didn't need to look at it.
Bu Hanying finally let go of her hand, slowly took a step back, and looked at Fu Yuanyu's half-closed eyes.
The friend of life and death in the first half of his life, and the enemy of life and death in the second half of his life.
Now it's all gone.
After 30 years of wandering the rivers and lakes, he has cut off the deceased in his life.
