Chapter 1 Prologue: I'm sorry that the gun is a human being
The night is quiet, the cicadas are panting and thundering, the mountains outside Xiangyang City are meandering, and the tiger's teeth are standing, like a cold-colored dragon wanting to ride the wind.
Suddenly, a pillar of light, as bright as the sun, swept down the clouds, pierced through the roof of a house at the foot of the mountain, and struck a spear lying horizontally in the house.
Suddenly, the golden light around the spear gradually turned into a human form.
Guan Cheng realized that his back was cold, and he wanted to get up to check, but his limbs felt extremely heavy, and his body couldn't move, "Indeed, there was a car accident just now, and I thought about it as a broken hand and foot, and now it's miserable" He thought in his heart, and couldn't help sighing, but when the sigh came to his mouth, it turned into an irrepressible cry.
After a few moments, he heard footsteps, and he wanted to see who it was, and he wanted to cry out for help, but his eyes could not be opened, and the cry for help was replaced by a more urgent cry for help.
"How can there be a child here!" He heard a middle-aged man's surprised exclamation.
A strong man in a corseted suit with a long beard picked up the baby on the ground, coaxed the baby in his arms for a long time before he stopped crying, and then suddenly thought of something, his eyes wandered in the room, and he turned to shout: "Where is my gun!" Where is my Hundred Birds Towards the Phoenix Spear! ”
This cry provoked the cry of the baby who was finally quiet, and he could only helplessly coax the baby in his arms while pacing in the room to find it, but after all, the search was fruitless.
About half a month later, Guan Cheng determined one thing, he was reincarnated in the late Eastern Han Dynasty in 169 years with the memories of his previous life, his current name is Tong Ruo, and his adoptive father's name is Tong Yuan.
Tong Ruo has shown an amazing talent in marksmanship since he was a child, but as long as Tong Yuan teaches him a drill, he can know it well, and he uses it in a good way, but the use of other weapons is really unsatisfactory, Tong Ruo himself doesn't understand the reason, but he always has an inexplicable affection for guns.
Tong Yuan always praised him as a rare marksmanship wizard in a hundred years, and he himself always thought so, until when he was seven years old, Tong Yuan accepted another apprentice from nowhere, named Zhao Yun, who was one year older than him, this person had fair skin, starry eyebrows, and a very cute collagen on his face.
And he can be called a martial idiot, although he is not as good as Tong Ruo in marksmanship, but he has shown his own unique understanding and talent in the study of various weapons, even if he is excellent, the key is that he works hard enough.
"Senior brother look at the gun!" Before the words fell, Zhao Yun had already stabbed the wooden gun in his hand at Tong Ruo.
If Tong didn't avoid it, the wooden gun was crossed, and the intersection of the two guns burst out like a steel gun. The two of you come and go, bursts of smoke come out of the wooden gun, Tong Ruo saw that the victory was inseparable, and at the moment he used the Liuhe marksmanship, and smashed Zhao Yun hard, Zhao Yun only felt that his arm was sore, and he knew that the other party was magnificent, and he would not be able to win with brute force, so he used the pear flower marksmanship to break the brute force with skill.
The two sides fought inseparably, the smoke was thicker, and the two guns burned off from the middle due to friction.
"You two are really martial arts wizards, compared to Yang Ren, Zhang Xiu is even better." The two saw Tong Yuan coming from the inner room and hurriedly gave up their hands.
Tong Ruo naturally knows Zhang Ren, Zhang Xiu, they are all Tong Yuan's apprentices, Zhang Ren is known as the "Northwest Gun King", Feng Xiao was killed by him, Zhang Xiu is known as the "Gun King of the North", he killed the "evil come" Dian Wei in the battle of Wancheng.
Tong Yuan walked over and touched the heads of the two of them and said, "It's just a pity, I have a secret marksmanship that could have allowed the two of you to get the true inheritance", Wu Zi shook his head after speaking.
Tong Ruoyi came to his senses when he heard the gun: "What is the marksmanship that Daddy said?" ”
"It doesn't hurt to say, this marksmanship is called the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Marksmanship, it is difficult to learn, you need a solid foundation, otherwise it is easy to be injured back, you two are now enough, but helplessly my family heirloom gun Hundred Birds Chaofeng Gun is lost, this marksmanship can only play its essence with this gun, otherwise even if it is learned, it is just a matter of learning a skin."
Tong Ruo heard that a hundred birds were inexplicably feeling close to the phoenix spear, so he begged: "Daddy teach me, I want to learn." ”
Tong Yuan couldn't stand the plea of the two, so he had to teach the essentials of the exercises, and then demonstrated it again with a gun.
"Master, although this move is extremely ingenious, I always feel that something is missing," Zhao Yun scratched his head and said.
"It's the Hundred Birds Chaofeng Gun, this marksmanship is tailor-made for this gun, without this gun, it's like a medicine with only a prescription but no medicine."
"Daddy, I'll show you this." Tong Ruo could not contain the excitement in his heart.
took a wooden spear and unfolded it, only to see that he was like a dragon, his body was like a shock, showing his strength and agility in every move, and the spear was wielded, and the murderous aura was revealed.
Tong Yuan and Zhao Yun watched from the side, and they felt like they were in an ice cellar, and the chill swept through their bodies, Tong Yuan was shocked and clapped his hands and shouted, "Oops! Wonderful! It's like a gun and a man are one, and it's hard to have this subtlety when I had a hundred birds and a phoenix gun! ”
Tong Ruo couldn't help but be shy when he heard the praise, stopped his movements, and said with a red face: "I always feel that this marksmanship has a great fate with me, but I can't say why." ”
After that, Zhao Yun and Tong Ruo had no chance of winning the competition, so that Zhao Yun later vowed to create an original set of moves comparable to the marksmanship of the hundred birds and the phoenix.
Time flies, in a blink of an eye, it has come to 189 AD, these years due to the Yellow Turban Rebellion, Tong Yuan in order to avoid the war, with Tong Ruo and Zhao Yun has been living a life of exile, and last year Zhao Yun decided to say goodbye to Tong Yuan because he was worried about the safety of his family, and returned to Changshan to serve the official to ask for thieves.
In this year, Tong Yuan and his son came to Liaodong, which is located in a remote area of the border fortress, the people are suffering, the imperial court is also negligent in management, and the Yellow Turban rebels are also quite disdainful of this place, so it has become the first choice for refuge.
February is already the season for grass to grow and warblers fly in the south of the Yangtze River, but it is still frozen for thousands of miles in Liaodong, and the north wind is howling.
"I have an old friend who is also in Liaodong, and I have to go out today." Tong Yuan called Tong Ruo to the inner hall and said.
"How long will Daddy come back?"
"This trip may take a little longer, and you should be able to come back within five days" Tong Yuan put his hand on the stove to warm up, and said with a solemn face: "If you can't come back within five days, you can go to Zhang Xiu, and he will take you in after the master and apprentice." ”
The room was silent, except for the creaking of charcoal in the stove.
Tong Ruo's heart was very uncomfortable, and a bad premonition rose in his heart: "What is Daddy going out for?" ”
"Alas, a covenant with a friend in the First World War"
Tong Yuan has been famous in the rivers and lakes for a long time, and Tong Ruo has also seen a lot of people who challenge him, but this is the first one who can make Tong Yuan speak like this.
"I'm not going anywhere, I'm just waiting at home for Daddy to come back."
Tong Yuan touched Tong Ruo's head, and there was a little more hesitation and tenderness in his eyes: "I am alone, I am very lucky to have a son like you, and now that you have done my true inheritance, I have no regrets in this life!" ”
Tong Ruodeng's eyes were full of tears, wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeve, and said, "Bah, what you say sounds strange and unlucky, don't say that." ”
"Now that you have reached the age of a weak crown, I should give you a word!" Seeing this, Tong Yuan changed the subject.
"What words does Daddy want to give me?" Tong Ruo showed a smile at this time, he knew that ordinary people in ancient times were not worthy of words, and Tong Yuan, as a generation of gun gods, the words he gave were even more expensive.
"I will give you the spirit of the Son as a word!" Tong Yuan paced a few steps inside the room and spoke.
"Daddy Xie." Tong Ruo was very clever, and hurriedly pulled Tong Yuan to sit down and serve a bowl of tea.
When the two talked about the past, they also talked and laughed happily.
The snow was falling, and the footprints of pedestrians in the snow were immediately covered by snowflakes, as if no pedestrians had ever walked on them.
Tong Ruo stood at the door and watched Tong Yuan's back gradually disappear into the vast snow mist, and the hot tears unconsciously burst out of his eyes and condensed into two lines of ice on his face.
Tong Yuan waited for the past five days and waited very hard, waiting in front of the door every day, but he never waited for his father's figure.
After another three days, Tong Ruo couldn't wait any longer, he didn't plan to go to Zhang Xiu, as a person with modern thinking, he understood that Zhang Xiu was not a good master, and his father didn't know whether he was dead or alive, he still had the heart to think about his future, he decided to inquire about his father's news.
In this closed territory of Liaodong, how difficult it was to find a person, it took him a month without finding the slightest clue.
Due to the wind and food, the fatigue of people, coupled with the bad weather, he has extraordinary abilities but only a physical mortal, he has a high fever, and urgently needs to find a place to rest.
Soon after he rode his horse, he came to a village, which, though it was daylight, was very strange, with the doors of every house closed, and no pedestrians on the road, and he tried to knock on the door, but none of them responded. After walking for a long time, I saw a fisherman holding a fishing net, which seemed to be a fisherman.
Tong Ruo saw him and shouted, "Old man! ”
When the man heard the shout, he glanced at Tong Ruo, didn't even want the fishing gear, threw it on the ground, pulled his legs and ran to the house, locking the door of the house.
Tong Ruo was angry, stepped forward, kicked open the fisherman's door, and the fisherman was so frightened that he cowered in the corner.
Tong Ruo first knocked on the door and was refused, and then saw the fisherman like this, he was angry, pointed at the fisherman and said sharply: "You guy, why are you so rude, I am not a plague god, what are you running to when you see me?" ”
The fisherman saw that Tong Ruo was well-behaved and extraordinary, and he didn't look like a bad guy when he looked at it, and he was so frightened by this roar that he couldn't make up his mind, and he was stunned for a moment before saying: "Alas, don't blame me for being rude, but you don't know, this place is full of bandits, and seeing you with a steel gun, no matter who sees it, you have to be afraid." ”
Only then did Tong Ruo understand the reason, his anger calmed down a little, and he pulled the man up and asked, "Don't your county officials care about these bandits?" ”
The fisherman poured two bowls of hot tea, put them on the table, and said: "Where can the county master control the life and death of our ordinary people, there have been troops to suppress thieves, but they can't beat it at all, and then they simply went with the thieves in this place. ”
Tong Ruo took a sip of hot tea, suppressed the cool breath in his abdomen, and then said: "Are the bandits in this place really so rampant? ”
"Young man, you haven't been here for long, you'll know after a long time, here are the bandits in charge of the three mountains and six villages of the Great Black Mountain, it is said that there are thousands of people, and our county is less than five hundred soldiers, how can you beat it, and the thieves also bribe these officials with a lot of money, and the people live every day."
"This troubled world is really plagued by thieves and corrupt officials!" But all those who practice martial arts want to be able to hoe the strong and help the weak, and make contributions, let alone a hot-blooded young man who has just turned 20 years old, but what he didn't expect was that the reality was far darker than he imagined.
After a few days of recuperation, Tong Ruo's condition has basically recovered, and he has become familiar with the villagers of Luodao Village. On this day, Tong Ruo was about to say goodbye and planned to go to Beigo to find his father's whereabouts, but more than a dozen thieves appeared out of nowhere outside the village, and the villagers were all anxious and locked the door of the house, and only the village chief prepared money and food, and planned to hand it over to the bandits.
Tong Ruo thought to herself: "This is probably the ancient underworld collecting protection money." "As a generation of martial arts families, Tong Yuan, who is now quite taken care of by the villagers, how can he allow this kind of thing to happen in front of him.
He stepped forward to stop the village chief and said, "Isn't it just that you are giving them money and food like this to boost their arrogance?" ”
The village chief looked helpless: "For the sake of the lives of the whole village, what is the way to do this." ”
Tong Ruo clenched his fists and said with a smile: "Just look at it!" Then he took the gun and got on his horse and hurried to the bandits.
When Tong Ruo came to the bandits, he saw this group of thieves, only one of them was riding a horse, and the rest were all foot soldiers.
The man on horseback was obviously the leader of this team, and when he saw Tong Ruo, he shouted, "Who are you?" Quickly call the village elder out. ”
"I am the spirit of the Xiangyang boy! Remember my name, lest thou die in vain! Encountering this scene for the first time since the crossing, this opening statement made Tong Ruo feel an inexplicable sense of mission from the bottom of his heart.
The thief was furious: "You doll, you are impatient! "Riding a horse with a knife came, Tong Ruo slapped the horse, the spear stabbed, clang, the knife in the hand of the thief was shaken away, the palm of the hand was also sore, the heart was shocked, turned around to escape, Tong Ruo was another shot, stabbed into his heart from behind, he looked down at the bloody spear head, groaned, and then lost his breath.
After killing the thief, Tong Ruo sneered, and immediately said, "That's it?" ”
When the thieves saw that the leader had lost his life before he had even finished a round, his sneering face was immediately covered by fear and fled in a hurry. Tong Ruo's legs clamped the horse's back, the horse raised the reins, rushed to the deserters, swished and fired three shots, and the three of them immediately fell to the ground.
Rushing in front of the enemy, he turned back and shouted: "If you surrender, spare your lives!" ”
The thief looked at the three people lying in a pool of blood, immediately dropped his weapon, and knelt on the ground and begged for mercy.
The village chief arrived at this time, and when he saw this meeting, his brows were tightened, and he couldn't help but pat his thigh and say, "Oops! You're in real trouble! They're sure to send more people over, and when the time comes, everyone in the village will kill you!" ”
Tong Ruo experienced this battle, and actually inspired a kind of pleasure that he had never had, knowing that he had planted a cause of disaster for the village, and immediately said: "In this case, it is useless to regret it, it is better to carry the strong men in the village and raise troops here to fight the thieves!" ”
