Chapter 27: The Raven
After seven or eight months, I also understood that the three of them were training me, and they did see the effect, not only was the body strong like a little tiger, but the ability to carry and hit, reaction, and speed have been greatly improved, and even Ma Pingchuan's attacks can sometimes be dodged.
As for what the crazy old man taught, I learned the most, the reason is very simple, he taught for the longest time, if I want not to be beaten, I have to listen to his speech, of course I would rather listen to his speech than be beaten, after listening for a long time, I will naturally remember more.
Everyone has been together for a long time, and I am no longer afraid of them, and even made jokes about Xue Bing, but Xue Bing has no humor, no matter how he teases, he has a cold face, but when I tease Xue Bing, Ma Pingchuan occasionally shows a smile, but it is fleeting.
If this period of time can be summed up in one sentence, it is pain and happiness.
I don't know how long it would have been if it hadn't been for the crow incident, but in fact, I wish it had been a little longer, a little longer.
Just when the Chinese New Year was approaching, it snowed heavily, and it was five or six days at a time, and the snow piled up to the root of people's thighs, and the ice picks under the eaves hung one or two feet long, and they didn't dare to open their mouths when it was cold, for fear that one mouth and tongue would freeze.
In such weather, Ma Pingchuan still didn't let me go, he picked me up early in the morning and forced me to run, and now it has risen from ten to thirty, of course, he will still follow me, otherwise I will definitely be lazy.
As soon as the two of them arrived at the foot of Wulong Ridge, suddenly there was a sound of wings flapping, and a large number of crows flew down from Wulong Ridge, as many as one hundred and ten, and one piece of black pressure flew towards our village.
As soon as this group of crows appeared, my heart throbbed inexplicably, and I didn't feel quite right, generally flocks of crows appeared, always accompanied by a harsh croaking noise, but this group of crows was like a collective dumb, quiet, except for the sound of wings flapping, there was no sound at all.
But I didn't see any doorway, and even deliberately closed my eyes to perceive it, and the picture received by my brain was just a large area of ordinary crows, and there was no abnormality at all.
Just when I thought I was too suspicious and was about to move my hands and feet to run, Ma Pingchuan suddenly spoke: "I won't practice today, go back." After saying that, he took the lead and turned away.
I was in ecstasy, heaven, earth! I finally opened my eyes! In the past seven or eight months, rain or shine, I haven't even rested for a day, Ma Pingchuan suddenly said such a sentence, and I almost jumped up with joy.
As soon as the two of us entered the door, the crazy old man and Xue Bing were sitting by the stove to keep warm, Xue Bing was stunned when he saw me, and it was not strange, in the past seven or eight months, when I came back every day, I was scarred, and I came back intact suddenly, not to mention her, I was a little unaccustomed to it.
The crazy old man was also surprised, I raised my head to him proudly, but Ma Pingchuan slowly took off his coat, sat next to the fire, and said lightly: "The crow is here." ”
In just a few words, the atmosphere in the room seemed to drop sharply by more than ten degrees, Xue Bing was obviously excited, and the face of the crazy old man changed several times in an instant, and finally sighed: "I said why did you come back so early today, it turned out that the crow came, this guy is really not simple, we can find it here when we hide here." ”
Ma Pingchuan stretched out his hand to the side of the stove, and still said lightly: "I killed him?" ”
This sentence is definitely not an affirmative tone, but an inquiry, which makes me curious, isn't it just killing a crow! Do you need to ask for their opinions? Ma Pingchuan had never been such a mother-in-law before, no rabbit, badger, roe deer, as long as it was in his eyes, none of them could survive.
Who knew that after Ma Pingchuan finished speaking, Xue Bing stood up with a "whew", and walked into the back room without looking back, but the crazy old man waved his hand again and again: "No, no, although this kid is not authentic, but after all, he has not committed any great evil, and we have no reason to kill him." ”
Only then did I understand that the crow they were talking about was a person, and when I heard the meaning of these words, it seemed that there had been unhappiness with them, but that guy was not a big evil, otherwise with Ma Pingchuan's temper, it is estimated that he would have been killed with a knife.
At this moment, I suddenly smelled the strong smell of blood again, this smell, I haven't smelled it for seven or eight months, and hurriedly turned my head to look at Ma Pingchuan, Ma Pingchuan was gently touching his nose with his hand, a trace of blush appeared on his handsome face, and there was already a trace of murder in his eyes.
The crazy old man also noticed it, and said with a wry smile: "I know that you have always wanted to kill him, but everyone is the same hunter, although the factions belong to different factions, but you can't kill him for no reason, I advise you to bear with it." However, if he does commit any evil deeds, I have no objection. ”
Ma Pingchuan nodded and said, "Okay!" With that, he got up, walked into my room, and probably went to sleep.
As soon as Ma Pingchuan left, I impatiently grabbed the crazy old man and asked, "Who is the crow?" Why is it called a crow by such a nasty name? Why did Ma Pingchuan want to kill him? Is there a feud between them? ”
The crazy old man glanced at me, surprisingly not as crazy as before, his face was unusually cautious, he took out the wine gourd and poured a big sip, before he said in a deep voice: "In the past ten years, in the hunting, the two young people in the north and south are the most popular, one is Ma Pingchuan from the north, and the other is the crow from the south. ”
"Ma Pingchuan relies on his speed, physical strength and amazing recovery ability, and the crow is famous for his amazing strange door technique, which is said to not only be able to pass through ghosts and gods, but also shuttle between the yin and yang worlds, reincarnated into death, and turned death into life, and the fierce spirits planted in his hands are unknown."
As for why he is called a crow, there are three reasons, one is that he has a pure black crow tattooed on half of his face; The second is that his voice is extremely unpleasant, like the croaking of crows; The third is that he has kept a hundred and ten crows to be his eyes and ears, and wherever he appears, a large number of crows will appear. ”
"These two people represent the two factions of the north and the south respectively hunting the younger generation, and there is no hatred, there is competition with each other. However, there is really one of us here who has an enmity with him, but it is not Ma Pingchuan, but Xue Bing. ”
"The specific reason is that Xue Bing has always refused to say, and Ma Pingchuan has not told me, but I estimate that it should have something to do with the love of children and daughters, it seems that the crow has failed Xue Bing, Ma Pingchuan is Xue Bing's cousin, and he has always treated Xue Bing as his own sister, and he is extremely protective, so he also hates the crow."
I was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "What? Ma Pingchuan and Xue Bing are not a couple? I always thought the two of them were ......"
The crazy old man rolled his eyes and said, "Who told you that they were a couple?" If they were a couple, why should I introduce you to Xue Bing? Look at your appearance, which point is stronger than Ma Pingchuan? No one is handsome, no one is cool, no one is cool, there is a mountain artillery turtle, and his ability is even worse than others, if it weren't for Ma Pingchuan being Xue Bing's cousin, how could you still have a chance. ”
I rolled my eyes, this crazy old man didn't save face at all, although what he said was true, but it was too hurtful, if I wasn't thick-skinned enough, I guess I would have to find a crack in the ground to get into.
But it doesn't matter, through these seven or eight months of getting along, I really like Xue Bing, but I always thought that she and Ma Pingchuan were a couple, so I had to force this idea and didn't dare to reveal it. Now I heard that the relationship between the two of them is cousins, for me, it is simply great news.
But if the crow is really so powerful, he is really a strong rival in love, beauties always like heroes, I also understand this truth, even if the crow's face is tattooed with a piece of ****, as long as he is strong enough, he can win the favor of beauties, not to mention that Xue Bing originally had a relationship with him.
Hurriedly asked, "Is this crow really that powerful?" It can't be blown out, right? ”
The crazy old man shook his head and said: "Impossible, although I haven't met him, but I know a little bit about him, this guy is born with a very strong spirit, he killed his mother as soon as he was born, he killed his father a week after he was born, his grandfather died at the age of three, and his only grandmother at the age of five also went west, and finally he was adopted by the Jiang family of the Southern School, and he was able to grow up with Qimen to seal his evil spirit." ”
"The crow is naturally very intelligent, not only continues the Jiang family's strange technique, but also understands all kinds of techniques, especially the bird control technique is extremely exquisite, as long as it is flying in the sky, it is all under his orders, although it is not as good as the thousand-year-old genius Jiang Feiyang, he is also known as a prodigy who is not born after Jiang Feiyang."
"He debuted at the age of sixteen, and his first mission was the Xishan Dryad, the southern faction is not as scarce as our northern faction, they are a group of five people as soon as they come out on a mission, one rescue, one logistics and one auxiliary, and one main and one deputy two main attackers, all of them can be regarded as masters."
"But on the trip to the West Mountain, the five-person team lost four people, and the crow alone survived to the end, and burned the West Mountain Dryad into charcoal, which shows its superior strength."
"Later, he killed the Dongting Lake Demon, the Cangshan Wolf King, the Cloud Peak Phantom Beast and other ferocious creatures, each time it is an extremely vicious evil thing, every time the same group of people are disabled, but the crow can kill with one blow every time, and then retreat with the whole body, and the means used are different."
"Based on this alone, I can assert that the crow's ability is not below Ma Pingchuan, and may even be more clever than Ma Pingchuan, after all, Ma Pingchuan's methods are only a few, but the crow makes people feel unfathomable."
As soon as I heard this, I suddenly had a head and three big, and I couldn't help but think crankily, this crow is so powerful, if I knew that I was pursuing Xue Bing, I don't know if it would deal with me?
As soon as I thought of this, there was a sudden dog barking outside, and the sound of "Wangwang" was everywhere, and the mountain village was noisy, and the dogs in the whole village barked wildly.
