Volume 1: The Past Is Hard to Rest Chapter 5 The Man in Bloody Clothes
The master's move was only in one thought, but the king of the king of the life of the king of Hades just closed his eyes, and the three hall masters were divided into three ways to copy and copy, the king of the king of life was not good, and he was busy using Longquan to hastily block, how could Situ Sheng, Han Feng and Ji Yun attack had been completed, and the demon head was surrounded in the center and turned quickly, and he was beating around and around like a marquee, only to be dazzled and the ghost cried. The disciples on the periphery watched the blue, red, purple, and white sword lights flying in the field, colorful and chaotic, and they didn't dare to meddle in for a while, but just dealing with the three hall masters who cooperated tacitly was enough for the devil. It must be known that the three hall masters have been born and died for many years, and who have the three of them been afraid of together? Don't say that the fake Hades in front of him, even if the real Hades comes, the three brothers are confident that he will let him go back!
Half an hour passed, the king of Yama was pressed by the three hall masters, even if he had superb body skills, there was no room for display, the so-called double fists were hard to defeat four hands, about thirty or forty times later, the left arm of the demon head had been scorched black by the fire sword, and his right shoulder was also frostbitten by the Qingshuang sword, and his back was also scorched by the purple electric sword, and some other small wounds needless to say. But what is admirable is that the demon seems to not know what the pain is, he was injured by the sword so much that he didn't even snort, his blood was swaying, and the fierce light in his eyes was not fading, so that the three hall masters were a little timid.
The three brothers were restless, and seeing that the devil's movements were sluggish, they estimated that he couldn't hold on to the number, so the three of them stabbed the devil's throat, heart, and abdomen with swords at the same time. Just when the three brothers thought that the battle was about to be decided, the demon shouted angrily, and his whole body suddenly emitted a blue-green faint true qi, which lingered like a cave in the sky and mist, and the scars on his body gradually healed.
At this time, someone in the outer circle of disciples shouted: "Be careful, that's the Xuanyuan True Qi of the Shushan Sect!" ”
The three hall masters were shocked by the sudden change, and the bottom of their hands was slightly sluggish, but the demon seemed to have regained some of his vitality, and suddenly swept away the thousands of troops in a single move, and swept away the three swords on the spot!
None of the three hall masters could compete with the powerful internal force of the demon, and they were all surprised to be forced back by the wind set off by the true qi. Seeing that the three of them were forced to retreat, the king of Yama also relaxed, took off the wine bag from his waist with his left hand, poured the wine in the bag straight into his mouth, and the Adam's apple on his neck fell together, and when he drank it black, his face was slightly red, he wiped his mouth, shook his head and shouted: "Drink!" Joyfully! ”
After roaring, he looked at the people around him with a cold and lightning-like gaze, pointed his sword at them and said angrily: "You filthy people, colluded with Yuquan to deceive me with despicable methods, but you just want my life? I'm dead today! I will splatter you all over with blood! Hahahaha! The laughter was full of helplessness and self-deprecation, but it was extremely desolate in the ears of everyone in the Ming Sword Hall.
Han Feng thought for a while, and finally said, "Demon, it seems that the true qi you have cultivated is the true qi of Shushan Xuanyuan. ”
Shushan faction and Kunlun Eight Sects, Kongtong faction, Penglai Xiandao, etc. are all sects of cultivating immortals, these sects of cultivating immortals have always been isolated from the world, except for a very small number of immortal cultivators who go down the mountain to level demons, and there is not much contact with martial arts, and practice martial arts for three or five years or have a small success, and if you have no talent to practice immortals, you can't beat a martial arts junior, so martial arts people are rarely interested in the true qi of the immortal faction, and always feel that it is very impractical, but this life-seeking king of Yama is extremely talented, but it is also a major reason why he is famous in the rivers and lakes.
When it comes to the Shushan faction, the Shushan faction worships Taishang Laojun as a god, so the word "Xuanyuan" of "Taishang Xuanyuan Emperor" (1) is taken as the Qi Refining Heart Sutra, which is called "Xuanyuan Heart Sutra". Legend has it that this kind of true qi cultivation to the upper level can prolong life, heal the body and heal wounds, but it is a secret cultivation within the door, and it must not be passed on, even if it is stolen without the guidance of the master of Shu Mountain, there is no way to learn it, I don't know how this demon learned it by stealing the teacher.
The demon said disdainfully to Han Feng: "This true qi science comes from the ability to prolong life, but it can't hurt anyone, what's the matter?" Are you interested in it? ”
Han Feng thought worriedly: "I have heard that Xuanyuan's true qi heals his body with qi, this demon recovers extremely quickly, and it is beneficial to him to hold it for a long time." After pondering for a moment, Han Feng looked at the eldest brother and the third brother respectively, and the eldest brother and the third brother also nodded slightly at him, as if the three of them thought of another piece. So, the three of them raised their swords and surrounded the Need-Seeking Yama, and at the same time, the disciples of the Mingjian Hall on the periphery also moved, looking at the situation and wanting to eliminate the Life-Seeking Yama King in one fell swoop!
Everyone surrounded him violently, and the king of Hades was not afraid of danger, laughing wildly, his dark face was full of sadness and disdain, although he had the true qi to heal his body, but the fading of his energy was enough to make him secretly have a headache.
The encirclement gradually narrowed, but the sound of swords and killings continued to increase, the battle situation became more and more intense, the demon had countless wounds of all sizes, blood stained his clothes, and more than a dozen disciples were killed and injured on the side of the Ming Sword Hall, and both sides were not pleased.
Besides, Xiao Han took the medicine from the medicine hall at night, and immediately took a detour to send it to his mother, and after his mother calmed down and lay down to rest, he felt bored again when he had nothing to do, so he went to ask his sister to find that his sister was no longer in the room, and he was worried about being kicked out by Uncle Chang when he was looking for Yunmeng, so he came up with an idea that should not have been conceived the most - to watch the fight.
"I hate adults beating and killing ...... most" Han Ye stood outside the door, kicked the stones under his feet, frowned and muttered: "Alas, it's so boring, I'll just go and take a look, and I'll come back after a look." Han Ye successfully persuaded himself, clenched his little fists and smiled: "Okay! It's decided! I'm going to watch them fight, maybe I won't be bullied by that villain of Ji Wenlong after I learn something. ”
So, Han Ye rushed over with confidence to join in the fun, but when he came to the clearing and saw the blood, severed hands and stumps and people struggling in pain, he immediately regretted it. The summer breeze came to his nose with a bloody breath, which made him almost want to vomit, and a lot of chills naturally grew in his heart.
"I ...... I'll go back and forget it. Han Ye trembled slightly and turned around and went home, but he didn't notice that the battle position had moved towards this side unconsciously, and the crowd was only three or four feet away from him.
The king of Hades is one enemy and one hundred enemies, the more he fights, the more courageous he becomes, blindly breaking through to the east, the momentum of the people of the Ming Sword Hall is declining, but they are still unwilling to give up the opportunity to capture and kill the demon, so they have to follow the demon to move the encirclement eastward, the demon is full of disdain, and while dismantling the three major hall masters' tricks, he laughed wildly: "Situ Sheng, I was invited here to kill so many people, and I didn't ask you for a reward, it seems that you have to thank me." ”
Situ Sheng and the other three were provoked by these words, and they were furious, and at this time, a voice from before sounded in the crowd: "King Hades, then I will give you a palm as a thank you!" ”
The demon was shocked when he heard this, but he was fighting against several masters, and he had no strength left to deal with this person, only to see a black shadow burst out from the many disciples in the outer circle, and hit the demon with a thunderous palm. The demon relied on the Xuanyuan True Qi to protect his body, and with a sword he swept away Situ Sheng's purple lightning, and protected it with one hand on his chest, but he didn't expect that the black shadow's palm was as powerful as a thousand jun, and it slammed into the devil's body, and when the sound of bone cracking sounded faintly, the demon was knocked back two feet away, and his body couldn't stand steadily!
The black shadow succeeded in one blow, and finally settled next to Situ Sheng, and everyone looked at it, isn't this person the head of Yuquan Dao?
Unexpectedly, Yuquan would lurk among the crowd for a long time, his self-confidence collapsed instantly, he spit out a mouthful of blood, and looked at Yuquan with a pair of tricks in his eyes, with resentment, surprise and sadness in his eyes, and only squeezed out two words from his mouth: "Master, uncle?" ”
Situ Sheng saw that Yuquan finally appeared, with a smug smile on his face, while Yuquan twisted his neck and said arrogantly: "It seems that you have recognized the wrong person, right?" Poor Dao said that it was your uncle, so you believed it? I don't know how stupid those unjust souls you killed were. ”
"Hahaha!" Ji Yun even sneered: "Devil, devil, to tell you the truth, Daoist Yuquan did practice in Shushan in his early years, but he didn't learn deeply, in order to catch you as a fox, don't pretend to be someone else, I'm afraid that you won't take the bait." ”
"I don't believe it!" The black face of the King of Destalment was full of despair, and he said to Yuquan: "Uncle Shi, you found me that day, and with your cultivation, you could have killed me on the spot, why did you trick me into coming here?" Also, when you tell me about my master, you say it as if you have experienced it yourself, you must be my master! ”
"This guy knows he can't beat it, so he's starting to hug his thighs, hahaha!" Everyone in the Ming Sword Hall burst into laughter when they heard this, but Han Feng looked at Yuquan with a gloomy face, as if he was thinking about something.
Ji Yun said disdainfully: "Hmph, devil, I thought you were such a smart person, it turned out to be a straw bale." ”
Situ Sheng also bowed his head and said: "Yes, Brother Hades, if you want to blame, blame yourself for being too easy to trust others, I don't know who your master is, but with the ability of Daoist Yuquan, it is not difficult to collect this news, as for why I killed you here...... The king of Hades came to the door to slaughter arrogantly, and the heroes of the Ming Sword Hall worked hard to eliminate demons and maintain the righteous path of martial arts, which sounds very good and justifiable. ”
Yuquan closed his triangular eyes slightly, and said with a warm smile: "The King of Yama is too elevated to the poor Dao, if the poor Dao can really kill you so easily, he would have eliminated the harm for the martial arts a long time ago, as for the matter of your master Changkong, there are not ten thousand people who know about it in the whole world, but there are not ten thousand people who are afraid, but also eight thousand, right?" ”
"That's it!" Ji Yun echoed: "Yuquan Dao Chang has helped me a lot, he just wants to make a curtain, if you are not too difficult to deal with, why would he go out in person?" ”
The king of Hades didn't want to argue anymore, and when all thoughts were lost, a thought flashed in his heart: "I can't die here!" Never! ”
Suddenly, the demon raised his head and shouted angrily, and rushed out to the right side of the crowd with all his might, and everyone was caught off guard, and was knocked to the ground so that the demon could break through.
"Chase!" Situ Sheng reacted and chased after all the disciples.
King Yama was hit by Yuquan's palm, his left arm was cracked, his chest and lungs were seriously injured, he was out of breath after only a few steps, it is estimated that he will not run far away and will not escape death, and his clothes have long been stained with blood, but I don't know if he is too lucky or Han Ye's luck is too bad, this black-faced man rushed out and saw Han Ye, and vaguely remembered that the child was Han Feng's son, and the enemy behind him was about to chase after him, what else could the devil do in this case? He could only go straight to Han Ye!
Han Ye was still walking with his back to the crowd, when he suddenly felt a gust of fishy wind blowing behind him, a big hand stained with blood grabbed his shirt from behind, and dragged him over, and then he felt a cold object on his neck, and he fixed his eyes to see that it was a bloodstained three-foot sword!
"Stand back for me!" The King of Yama grabbed Han Ye's shirt with his trembling left hand, put the Longquan Sword in front of his neck with his right hand, and said fiercely, "Whoever dares to take a step forward, I will kill this little ghost!" ”
The devil's actions caused everyone to panic, and Han Feng's performance was the most intense, and he pointed at the devil anxiously and scolded: "Shameless! Let him go! What a hero is to take a child as a hostage! ”
Seeing Han Feng's anxious appearance, the King of Destales couldn't help but be glad that he had grabbed a life-saving straw, so he smiled coldly and said, "Why do you want to put it?" But if you are allowed to engage in conspiracy, I will not be allowed to hold children hostage? ”
Han Ye was completely controlled by the devil, so he could only hold his breath and turn his head to look at the blood-covered man, the smell of blood became more and more pungent, and his weak body couldn't help but tremble.
Han Feng saw that the child was trembling, and was about to rush over, but Situ Sheng stopped him with one hand, shook his head at him and signaled not to be impulsive, and then said in a deep voice to the King of Destales: "Demon, the net of heaven and earth has been laid in the Ming Sword Hall, it is impossible to escape with your current injuries, if you let the child in your hand go first, maybe we can consider leaving you a way to live." ”
"Less!" The adversary still grabbed the boy's shirt in pain, but the sword he held raised at everyone, and said angrily: "When I am a three-year-old child? If this little imp is released, I still have a fart to live! I've been fooled once, don't expect me to do it a second time! The demon said, while holding Han Ye back, he said to the people who followed: "It's best not to act rashly, my Longquan sword blows hair and breaks hair, in case I am too nervous and my hand shakes, the death of the little ghost is not good for everyone!" Seeing that everyone was at a loss, the demon said to Situ Sheng again: "What are you looking at?" Give me a way to live, and I'll release people naturally at the door! ”
Situ Sheng knew that the King of Yama was ruthless, and he didn't dare to joke with his nephew's life, so he whispered to everyone around him: "Don't follow too closely." ”
As a result, everyone always kept a distance of two or three zhang from the King of Destalment, and at the same time prepared to recapture Han Ye in one fell swoop when he slackened. However, in order to escape for his life, the King of Yama maintained twelve points of vigilance, observing the situation of the four roads, and retreated backwards, straight to the gate of the Ming Sword Hall.
When he arrived here, King Yama originally wanted to push the boy in his hand in front of everyone, and then take the opportunity to escape, but he thought about it: "These dog offals in Mingjian Hall have harmed me like this, I must not cheapen them, seeing that they are so anxious, I simply kidnapped the little ghost to vent the hatred in my heart!" Thinking of this, King Yama grabbed Han Ye's waist with his right hand, turned around and kicked his feet, and led Han Ye to jump away from the woods outside the hall.
This move was unexpected, the devil was so seriously injured that he dared to escape with the child, and everyone couldn't help but be stunned. Han Feng was the first to react, he clenched his fists and pointed out the door, shouting, "Chase!" ”
Hearing this, everyone chased after each other from the door, but this time, the king of Yama used all his strength, even with a child, he ran very nimblely, dangling around the woods, and soon left everyone's sight.
Yuquan was going to make a move, but for some reason he stood by and watched, he glanced meaningfully at Han Feng, who was chasing him from afar, and turned around and returned to the Ming Sword Hall.
However, it was said that the king of Hades coerced Han Ye to go around to the west and ran for more than ten miles in one go, and Han Ye was very scared at first, but gradually became angry again. Yes, this hateful black man took him away from Mingjian Hall, and when he thought that he would never see his father and mother, his sister, or Yunmeng in the future, could he not be angry?
After all, anger overshadowed fear, and Han Ye shouted loudly: "Black villain! Let me go! As he spoke, he wanted to break the bloody hand that hugged him, but a child who doesn't like to practice martial arts, can he break the iron arm of the devil? Han Ye tried many times, and later he was beaten and pinched, but except for the pain in his hand, the other party didn't seem to react at all, and the boy finally could only cry: "Woo woo, I, I want to go home!" ”
King Yama rarely kills old and weak women and children, and this time he kidnapped Han Ye purely to vent his anger, but Han Ye's noisy shouting was really disgusting, so he roared angrily: "What are you arguing about! Break your neck again! ”
This trick is very effective for children, as soon as he finished yelling, Han Ye was frightened, and he didn't dare to come out, just lowered his head and sobbed.
King Yama frowned, and sighed quietly: "Little ghost, don't blame me for being ruthless, if you want to blame, blame your elders for deceiving people too much." ”
The demon held Han Ye for a few miles, and finally slowed down due to lack of strength, he looked at the woods behind him, there was not even a trace of wind there, only bursts of cicadas and a few bird calls, obviously the people of the Ming Sword Hall couldn't catch up for the time being. The demon breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't even stand on his feet, so he had to use his hand to tap Han Ye's chest twice to seal the acupoint, and then move him to the tree to swing it, while he sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes. Although the sword wound inflicted on him by the three hall masters looked very serious, it actually couldn't hurt his roots, but Yuquan's slap made it difficult for him to breathe now, if he couldn't concentrate on healing, I was afraid that if he went on again, his eyes would be black and he would go to see the true king of Hades.
The child sat next to the tree, unable to move, unable to speak, very helpless and bored, I don't know how many times I cursed this devil, but in addition to some spiritual comfort, I could only stare at him.
Time passed slowly, and by the time the King of Yama had almost breathed, the sky had already darkened, and there was a faint light of fire in the woods in the distance, and he knew that the people from the Ming Sword Hall had already searched this side, so he carried Han Ye on his shoulders and continued to hurry.
It took about an hour for the retainer to finally escape out of the woods and to a small mountain, where he found a cave. King Yama found that the entrance of the cave was only one man high and two people wide, and it was overgrown with creepers, and the cave could still accommodate six or seven people, and in general it could deal with one night, so he relieved Han Ye's dumb hole and put him aside.
"Big bad! Black Monster! You don't have to die well! Come to a sticky end! Han Ye held back for a long time, and finally could scold the demon a few words, but his stomach growled after scolding for a while, it turned out that from morning to now, this pampered child has not eaten.
The black man didn't look at Han Ye, he just stood at the entrance of the cave and left his back to him, the moonlight was thrown in from outside the cave, and the tall and straight back was even darker under the moonlight, and he only heard him say: "Little ghost, I'm going to fetch firewood and food now, you stay here well, what's the matter......" The demon said halfway but didn't continue, his figure flashed, and the person had disappeared at the entrance of the cave......
At the same time, in the council hall of the Ming Sword Hall, the three hall masters and the elders of the sect were exchanging the search situation, and the Yuquan Daoist was also impressive.
After Situ Sheng listened to the search results, his face was very solemn, he swept the doorman in front of the hall, and then comforted Han Feng, who was frowning: "Second brother, don't be anxious, that devil is seriously injured, and he will definitely not be able to go far with his nephew, we just need to expand the search area, and wait patiently for a few more days, it should not be difficult to find." ”
After a day of fierce fighting and running and exhaustion, the middle-aged man added a lot of gray hair, and he said gloomily: "The devil is ruthless, Ye'er may have been poisoned by him, even if he doesn't kill Ye'er, but Ye'er is still in his hands after all, even if he finds it, he just watched him escape again......
"Second brother is not right to say that!" Ji Yun, who has a straightforward temperament, said urgently: "Even if there is little hope, you must not give up!" Maybe the demon really didn't kill him, as long as we find his location and take his nephew back while he is unprepared, then it won't be ......? ”
Before Ji Yun finished speaking, Han Feng shook his head at him, clenched his fists and said, "Things have become like this, and the fault is all mine...... If I could manage the night and keep him from running around, the king of Hades wouldn't have taken him captive!" As he spoke, the seven-foot man burst into tears, wiped the tears on his face with his right hand, and sighed ashamedly: "I'm sorry for the ancestors of the Han family, and I'm even more sorry for the brothers who died in vain in the Ming Sword Hall!" ”
Seeing that the second brother was so excited, Situ Sheng hurriedly got up and walked over, patted the second brother's back and said, "Second brother, don't blame yourself too much, no one can predict that something like this will happen." Speaking of mistakes, the eldest brother is also at fault, don't take all the responsibility on your own head. ”
"yes!" Ji Yun followed the eldest brother and said: "Second brother, what the eldest brother said is right, the fault is not yours, it is me!" Ji Yun said, pointing his right thumb to himself, and said, "If I had told my nephew to stay at home and not come out, maybe the situation would not have been so bad, and I should be fully responsible!" ”
Just when the three brothers were fighting for responsibility, they only heard a sound of "stop fighting", and the three turned their heads to see that it was the goatee old Dao Yuquan who was talking, and he twisted his beard with shame and said: "Speaking of mistakes, it is also wrong to be poor and sloppy, but what's the use of feeling sorry for yourself when you encounter small things?" Han Ye's kid is naturally auspicious, in other words, if he dies in the hands of the life-seeking king if he is unlucky, it will be useless to be in a hurry...... Now that the demon has escaped from the net laid by the Ming Sword Hall, this kind of thing will spread out, which will greatly reduce the prestige of this sect, and fellow martial artists will also take the opportunity to blame, why not make amends? ”
Situ Sheng sighed deeply and said respectfully to the Taoist priest: "The Taoist master has taught me a lesson, but I am confused. After that, he turned to Han Feng and said: "Second brother, don't be too discouraged, I will send more people to nearby towns to inquire about the situation in the next few days, and I will inform you as soon as there is news of the devil, so that's all." ”
Han Feng closed his eyes and bowed slightly: "I understand, there are still many things waiting for me to do in Mingjian Hall, I will wait for the news, as for my wife and daughter......"
"My brother and sister have sent someone to inform them, saying that you took your son on a long trip and couldn't return home for a day or two." Situ Sheng said, put his hand on the second brother's shoulder, and sighed: "My younger brother and sister are seriously ill and can't be stimulated, I will send someone to take care of her, in order not to make her suspicious, you will live in the martial arts hall these days, and everyone will keep it secret for you." ”
Han Feng had no objection to the eldest brother's arrangement, but said abruptly: "The eldest brother has a heart." ”
So, the people in the upper echelons of the Mingjian Hall arranged the affairs in detail, and after the explanation, everyone left the meeting hall one after another. Han Feng was the last to go, he walked on the stone steps in front of the hall, lowered his head and thought about something, and suddenly stopped and looked up at the night sky in the distance. Tonight, the night sky is quiet, the bright moon hangs in the sky, but many of the surrounding stars are obscured by night clouds, and the moon is accompanied by a little starlight to reveal a trace of desolation.
"Immortals in the sky, if you have a spirit, please keep my son safe!" In the moonlight, the blue-robed man's face became even haggard, and he disappeared into the dark distance step by step with endless sorrow......
