Chapter 5: The Deadly "Red Symbol"
After Wuqiu Jianchi and Zhang Lu parted, they strolled into the dining hall, where two long tables and some low stools were set up for guests to rest or dine - the owners and sailors did not eat here. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Seeing that most of the guests were in place, and Zhang Lu was the only one to be seen, Wuqiu Jianchi couldn't help frowning slightly and looked out of the door. The companion leaned closer and whispered in his ear: "That guest, it seems that he is not dining on the ship...... Wuqiu Jianchi smiled at this time: "Maybe you brought your own dry food." He reached out and lifted the chopsticks on the table.
The meal was quite hearty, with two plates of vegetables, a plate of bacon, and a pot of fish soup. According to the local eating habits, the guests first served the soup to drink, and they did not know what seasoning was used, and the fishy smell disappeared, and the aroma was strong, which made people feast. After drinking the soup and serving their own meals, Wuqiu Jianchi had just taken a sip, when the companion suddenly stretched out his hand and slapped his chopsticks down.
Wuqiu Jianchi felt something at this time, and raised his head, only to see that the couple and their children had already slipped out of the table, and the rest of the people were also shocked. He tried to mention his inner breath, but he felt that his true qi was chaotic, his whole body was soft, and he couldn't use his strength, and he was shocked in his heart, but his face didn't show it.
Slowly put down the rice bowl, stood up to leave, but his legs suddenly weakened, and he sat down again. I heard one of the bodyguards of the merchant at the next table shouting angrily: "Isn't this a black ship?!" but it was obviously lacking in energy, and the cheers were not threatening.
Wuqiu Jianchi tried to turn his head and glanced at his companion first, but the other party just smiled bitterly, which means: I am also on the way. Turning to look at the table next to him, he saw that the merchant had collapsed, and his three companions seemed to be struggling to support themselves.
Only the old man suddenly coughed and slowly stood up, with a mouth, but it was not the voice of an old man: "Only rob one person, have nothing to do with others, everyone sit in peace, don't kill yourself!"
This palm castrated so quickly, and with a cold breath, the bodyguard had no possibility of dodging, and was hit the top door fiercely. Hearing only the sound of "pop", the man's face was frightened, his eyes were sticking out, and what was especially terrifying was that from the bridge of his nose above, his skin was all blue and gray, and there was a faint layer of frost. Then he fell backwards with a "uh" in his throat - presumably killed by a single palm.
No matter what kind of realm this bodyguard is and what kind of martial arts he has practiced, as long as he is not practicing kung fu in an outer door such as an iron cloth shirt, he will be slapped on the top of the head by someone, and it is reasonable that he will die immediately - the key is that he was poisoned first, and he was weak, so he couldn't hide at all. Wuqiu Jianchi secretly thought, if he changed himself, this palm might not be able to fight so neatly, but if you want to kill the enemy with one palm, as long as you do it with all your might, it may not be impossible.
The problem is that when the old man hits, he doesn't rely purely on palm power, but contains a cold aura - either some cult martial arts that he has never heard of, or he has reached the peak of the arcane level, or even stepped into the realm of selflessness in half a step, so that he can borrow the power of nature, or heat or cold, to produce this strange effect. He couldn't help but glance at his companion again, and the other party's eyes also clearly showed fear.
The old man's palm is for demonstration, unless there is a strong person in the realm of self on the spot, even if he is not poisoned, he may not be his opponent. Just listen to his "hehe" voice: "It's just a little bit of 'unloading and dispersing', as long as you don't get in the way of Lao Tzu's affairs, you will naturally be fine." ”
"Unloading Qi San" is a kind of anesthetic, colorless and odorless, just take a little, natural bones and tendons numb, true qi is difficult to mention. It seems that the old man's purpose is very simple, he doesn't want to kill people and kill people, he just hopes that some of the guests will practice martial arts, and don't come to hinder his own affairs. Although his martial arts are strong, after all, his two fists are invincible to four hands, and there are not one or two people who can do martial arts on this boat, and he is afraid that he will cause trouble if he makes a rash move - if he releases poison, it is estimated that he may not be able to hide from ordinary martial arts practitioners.
So who is his target? I saw him take two steps forward, his steps were steady, and he did not regain the staggering posture that he had just disguised, and then he sneered at the merchant who was crooked at the table: "Take out the things and let you live." ”
"W-What ......?"
"Why do you knowingly ask?" the old man raised his left palm and aimed at the other bodyguard of the merchant, "Is it that if I kill another one, you can figure it out?"
There were two exits to this cabin, one towards the deck, and as soon as it was connected to the living room behind, I heard a call: "What is the matter?" The old man slapped his palm from afar, and the palm wind carried the cold air to the door of the ship's owner: "Take care of your men, don't get in the way!" The shipowner saw that most of the guests fell to the ground, or lying on the table, and was surprised, suddenly the cold wind hit his face, and he couldn't help but take three steps back, feeling like he had fallen into an ice cave, cold to the bone, and even his teeth were shivering, so frightened that he quickly hugged his head and fled.
He had been sailing on the river for many years, and had seen a lot of things, and knew that no matter how much trouble the guests had, they always needed the help of the sailors to keep the sails steered, and generally would not do anything to their own houses, so he did not see anything, and ran away in a hurry—to take care of the sailors, and not to go to the canteen to show his head, lest he harm the fish in the pond.
The old man struck away the shipowner, and then turned his eyes to the merchant again. The merchant stammered a few words of forgiveness, and when he saw the other party raise his palm again, he suddenly shouted: "I know, I know, I will give you the 'Chiming Fu'!"
As soon as these words came out, even the old man took Wuqiu Jianchi and his companions, and his face changed.
Of course, Wuqiu Jianchi knows what the "Chiming Fu" is, as the so-called "Piff is not guilty, but he is guilty" - well, there should be no such sentence in the traditional culture of this world - if there is not enough power to support it, it will be extremely difficult to keep such a thing, and it is likely to be coveted or even besieged. The merchant was clearly planning to take the blame, or he would find someone to carry it even if he died-even if the old man really did not mean to harm the innocent, but as soon as he shouted the word "Chi Ming Fu", could he still let the person in the know leave alive?
Wuqiu Jianchi was crooked on the side of the table, trying to activate qi and blood, hoping to recover his strength as soon as possible. He didn't have the heart to act chivalrous and righteous -- there were too many things on the rivers and lakes to do, so where could he manage it? Besides, even if you wanted to manage it, you had to have the strength -- but the situation had changed, and if you didn't seek self-preservation, you were afraid that there would be no place to bury you. At the moment, he couldn't help but look at his companion, who bit the tip of his tongue and squirted out a few bits of blood, and then stretched out his hand and grabbed Wuqiu Jianchi: "Son, go away!"
This hit the sea of qi in the middle of Wuqiu Sword Pool, and he felt that the true qi suddenly penetrated, instantly condensed the lower abdomen, and then dispersed from the abdominal cavity to the limbs, and his body involuntarily flew towards the hatch, twisted his waist in time, and landed steadily. But as soon as he landed, the cold air reached the back of his head, and the old man gave up the merchant, hurried after him, and put a palm on the back of his heart.
Wuqiu Jianchi knew that he was accompanied by a secret master, which could instantly condense the true qi of the whole body and make a thunderous blow. However, the power of this blow alone, even if it is amazing, may not be able to defeat the enemy -- the opponent cannot bear it, so will he not be able to dodge? If it is suddenly used in the midst of a fierce battle, it may be able to achieve the effect of deciding the victory in the end, and this is still soft on the stool, and the probability of being hit by a few steps away from the enemy is less than fifty percent. In this case, it is better to mention this breath and first give his master qi and blood so that he can escape.
This must be on flat land, maybe the plan will be successful, Wuqiu Sword Pond will go away, and the old man may not be willing to give up the main master. The problem is that this is on the boat, there is a surging river on all sides, and even the nearest river bank is more than ten zhang away, unless the Wuqiu Sword Pond has reached no man's land, or has grown wings, otherwise it can be crossed there? But if it is really a master of no man's land, why should he escape?
Therefore, Wuqiu Jianchi was in mid-air, and he figured it out - today's battle was inevitable. As soon as he landed, the long sword on his waist was already unsheathed, and when he twisted his waist, he turned around in an instant, and a sword swept over. The cold wind whistled, just like a piece of straw paper or plain silk, and was cut into two pieces by the sword light - the upper half was rolled back and dissipated suddenly, and the lower half burst forward, and as soon as Wuqiu Jianchi hurriedly blocked it with his cross arm, he felt a chill spread upwards through his forearm...... He looked at it, and there was a thin layer of frost on his forearm.
It's so powerful, I'm not the enemy of this thief! After a move, Wuqiu Jianchi couldn't help but be so frightened that his soul flew out of the sky, turned around, and wanted to escape again. At first, he was pushed and shoved by his companion to rush to the door, if he ignored the attack in his vest and continued to run forward, maybe he would have run to the deck at this time, but when he turned around and swung his sword, he slowed down like this, and the old man had already chased after him, and he was not in a hurry to hurt the enemy, but he took out a palm on the left and a right, and the cold wind swept away, completely sealing the inside and outside of the hatch - if Wuqiu Jianchi still wanted to run, it would be equivalent to hitting the palm wind hard.
So he was forced to "brush and brush" a series of three swords to counterattack the enemy. To say that Wuqiu Sword Pond is not very high because of his age and talent, and his skills are not high, and he is only in the realm of entering the room - among his peers, he is barely at the upper level - but this set of family heirloom "Splitting Stone Sword Technique" is indeed unique, fierce and unscrupulous, and even the old man does not dare to directly attack him. As soon as the old man retreated, Wuqiu Jianchi drilled into the cracks, rolled and fled back to his companion.
Bandang smiled bitterly and said: "Childe, run away, I'm afraid I won't be able to help much......" Wuqiu Jianchi's face was even more depressed: "Escape, where to escape?"
He knew that the door was leading to the rear cabin, and that there was a wooden ladder to access the two floors below deck. Although this is a dead end, it can be delayed a little bit. You must know that although "unloading and dispersing" is colorless and odorless, if you use it too much, it is still easy to be noticed, and if you use it less, it will not last too long. If you drill into the cabin below deck, play hide and seek with the old man, and you can't tell the winner for a while, the poisoned people may recover. Although his own companion is of little use, the merchant does not have a bodyguard, and if the merchant seeks an opportunity to escape, for example, unloads the small rower on the side of the ship and tries to land, the old man will "draw water with a bamboo basket". Therefore, he must not chase after him, but must first clean up the main master, and he may escape from the ship through the window.
It's a big deal, although the river is deep and the waves are rapid, and the danger is unpredictable, but it is always a little more likely to survive than directly facing a master who is in the mysterious period......
Wuqiu Jianchi thought well, if he really escaped from the dining hall, the old man might not dare to chase after him, but you also had to escape. The strength of Wuqiu's sword pool is not as fast as the opponent's, and the opponent can split the empty palm, and the range is much wider than his sword, so in desperation, he was forced to turn around to face the battle, and then retreat while fighting. After four or five moves, he had completely fallen behind, but finally escaped outside the cabin.
The old man hesitated for a moment, and decided that it would be better to chase after him for a while - the cabin behind is not very large, and if you try to go down the wooden ladder, you will inevitably show a flaw at that time, and I will be killed by me in the palm of the hand. But he had just chased out of the hatch, and one leg was still in the cabin, when he suddenly saw three sword tips pointed at him at the same time.
The old man was stunned, hurriedly split the tips of the two swords with two palms, and then turned his body to the side to avoid the third sword...... Suddenly, the palm of his right palm hurt, and he was stabbed!
