Chapter II
As the sky gradually darkened, the guests in the restaurant came and went and changed, except for Yan Ting's table, which seemed to be replaced by new customers, Yan Ting looked around, and said to Hai Yichuan: "Your friends seem to have left." ”
Hai Yichuan didn't look back, and looked directly at Yan Ting: "I know that a few of them are people who are greedy for life and afraid of death. ”
Yan Ting asked, "You're not afraid of death?" ”
Hai Yichuan said: "If I were afraid of death, I wouldn't have chased you for so long, and I would have already left." ”
Yan Ting smiled: "It seems that you have been blinded by the desire for revenge, do you know that the premise of your desire for revenge is that you are still alive." After that, he stood up slowly, the wound on his body seemed to be torn, which made him take a breath lightly, and then raised his head to look at the top of the lobby, which was a hand-sewn lantern by a skilled craftsman, which was hanging in the air and shook gently at the moment, Yan Ting stretched out a finger and pointed upward, and said: "I have been to this restaurant once, and it is the person you want to kill who brought me here." ”
"Is he here now?"
"If he had been here, he would never have made me wait until now."
Hearing this, Hai Yichuan seemed to have lost all his strength and collapsed on the chair, and sighed: "That's a pity, I wanted to make a move, but it seems that it is not necessary." ”
Yan Ting smiled: "I'm afraid you can't do it if you want to, these people have regarded you as my friend, and they won't keep you alive." ”
As soon as Yan Ting's words fell, the originally lively lobby suddenly fell silent, all the guests put down the wine glasses in their hands, and the woman who accompanied the wine also left on tiptoe, countless eyes looked here from all directions, they were all staring at Yan Ting, and Hai Yichuan beside him, Hai Yichuan didn't seem to feel the gaze of these people, and asked Yan Ting calmly: "I remember that the boss here has a rule, that is, no one is allowed to make a move here, why do these people dare to disobey the rules?" ”
Yan Ting said: "Because the boss still has a rule, that is, except for the Blood Shadow Gate." ”
Hai Yichuan suddenly realized, and also stood up and said: "So, in the eyes of the boss, the people of the Blood Shadow Sect are not people, but ghosts?" ”
Yan Ting smiled: "Whether it's a person or a ghost, you'll know right away." Then the foot force picked up the long sword under his feet, and threw the sword to Hai Yichuan with an elbow push, and at the same time, the lantern on their heads suddenly went out, and several silver needles flew from above their heads, Hai Yichuan took the long sword with his backhand and swung a sword upward, only to hear a few 'jingle bells', and several silver needles had been cut into two pieces and fell to the ground, each of which was cut vertically into two sections.
Hai Yichuan held the sword horizontally in front of him, carefully observed the blade along the moonlight outside the window, and blurted out: "It's really a good sword, but it's a pity that I can't keep it." ”
"Why can't you stay?"
Hai Yichuan said with a smile: "Because this sword is tempered by five poisons, if you are cut by it even the slightest, you will die from its poison, and its owner is even more vicious than the most poisonous poison in the world." ”
Quenching and poisoning, every swordsman talked about the strange sword that changed color, they spied on the power of this sword in the hope of getting it, and avoided its coldness and ruthlessness, owning this sword is not necessarily a good thing, but there must be unexpected bad things.
Because the original owner of this sword was Oolong Evergreen.
"How did you get this sword?"
"If you make it out of this door alive, I'll tell you."
"It's a deal."
The earth was completely plunged into darkness, and with the rumbling thunder in the sky, a heavy rain poured down.
The best coffin shop in Luoyang City, a luxurious carriage is tied to the side, the old horseman once sat on the steps with silver in his arms to avoid the torrential rain, he didn't know what to think in his mouth, his eyes looked at the corner of the street from time to time, there were no pedestrians on the road at this time, and some were just passers-by who were too late to go home to avoid the rain and hurried, whenever there was a footstep coming, Lao Zeng would raise his head, and finally lowered his head in disappointment.
An hour? I'm afraid it will be the same for a few more hours, Lao Zeng wiped the rain from his face and got up with a wry smile.
'Knock knock'
The owner of the coffin shop opened the door, looked at Lao Zeng just about to ask, suddenly widened his eyes, and then slammed the door shut, Lao Zeng was stunned, turned around, and saw two figures standing behind him unconsciously, a lightning bolt struck, and the faces of the two were reflected by this electric light, it was Yan Ting and Hai Yichuan.
Even such a heavy rain could not wash away the smell of blood on the two of them, and the rain on the ground seemed to be mixed with blood.
Lao Zeng opened his mouth wide, speechless in shock, Hai Yichuan wiped the blood on his face with his sleeve, and smiled at the groom: "It seems that my luck is still good." ”
Lao Zeng looked at Yan Ting, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes, Hai Yichuan didn't explain to him, just waved his hand and said, "It's raining so hard, why don't we hurry up and get in the car?" ”
In Luoyang on a rainy night, the fierce sound of rushing cars tore the silence of the street, Yan Ting and Hai Yichuan were sitting in a warm and comfortable carriage, Hai Yichuan took out a small bottle of wine and a bag of beef from under the mat, and smiled at Yan Ting: "I don't know if you are used to drinking the apricot blossom brew in Yuncheng, but it is better than nothing." ”
Yan Ting took the wine, took a sip, exhaled a long breath, and said with a smile: "This is the best wine I have ever drunk this year." ”
"That's good." Hai Yichuan smiled, took out a small piece of beef from the bag and stuffed it into his mouth to chew, and took out a piece of incense from the burden on the side and lit it, the carriage was suddenly filled with a strange fragrance, Yan Ting sniffed lightly and felt that his head was topped, his whole body became extremely comfortable, and the pain on his body was also relieved a lot, and he couldn't help asking: "What kind of fragrance is this?" ”
Hai Yichuan said: "The ambergris of the whale in the South China Sea, this small piece can be worth ten taels of gold. ”
The horseman's shouts came one after another, accompanied by the sound of rain outside the carriage, Yan Ting only felt groggy, and had some thoughts of wanting to sleep immediately, Hai Yichuan noticed Yan Ting's sleepiness, so he said: "Lao Zeng will take us to a safe place, you can sleep well, and we will talk when you wake up." ”
Yan Ting leaned on the corner of the carriage and asked, "Where do you think it's safe?" ”
Hai Yichuan had already lay down on his side, yawned, and when he heard the words, he turned around and quipped: "I don't know, but it's better than staying in Luoyang." Then he turned his head, and after a while, he fell into a deep sleep, and even snored, Yan Ting also felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, even if the wounds on his body were still stinging, and the spirits were turning in his stomach, he couldn't resist the invasion of sleep.
He hadn't had a good night's sleep in months.
The old man waved the whip in his hand, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, but he didn't dare to stay for a while, for him Luoyang is tantamount to the tiger's den in Longtan, but people have selfish desires, his selfish desires are gold, Hai Yichuan promised that Luoyang would give him a hundred taels of gold, which was enough for him to be chic for a while.
Getting closer and closer to the gate of the main city of Luoyang, as long as he passes a few more intersections to leave the main city of Luoyang, this makes his hands tremble with excitement, he has secretly made up his mind, no matter how much gold Hai Yichuan takes out after this trip, he will never set foot here again, after all, no matter how much money there is, he still has a life to enjoy.
After another street, Lao Zeng had already looked at the wide city wall in the distance, and he waved the whip in his hand excitedly, as long as he stepped out of this gate, he could feel at ease.
A ray of moonlight shone through the dark clouds on the land, clearly reflecting the open gates. And Lao Zeng's heart suddenly beat violently, as if to jump out of his heart, he saw a figure riding on a horse at the city gate, approaching them unhurriedly, Lao Zeng rubbed his eyes, he thought he was wrong, how could someone be so leisurely riding a horse on such a rainy night?
As the distance got closer and closer, Lao Zeng finally saw this person, this is a woman in a red dress, holding a wine gourd in her hand is leisurely drinking, it seems that she does not care that her body has been soaked by heavy rain, the woman also noticed the carriage, tilted her head while looking at the carriage while pouting the gourd, and patted the little donkey under the seat with one hand to make way for them.
Little donkey? Lao Zeng's hanging heart was relaxed, and he even felt a little funny, it seemed that he was just an ordinary little girl who was drunk.
Chengjiujiu held a wine gourd in his mouth, watched the carriage get farther and farther, and did not turn around until he stepped through the city gate and couldn't see the trace at all, patted the long ears of the little donkey and said with a smile: "Xiaohong Xiaohong, it seems that we are a step too late." ”
The little donkey tore and shook its head, as if it was rebelling against the master to let it drench on such a rainy night, and the city nine wine made the gourd knock on its head, and smiled happily: "Okay, okay, I know that you are uncomfortable, let's go faster, it just so happens that my gourd is almost empty." ”
The donkeys happily took a step, and actually ran straight to the Yuanbao Restaurant in the city, and when they arrived at the Yuanbao Restaurant, the Chengjiu Liquor smelled a strong smell of blood.
"Phew!"
Cheng Jiujiu let go of the reins and jumped off the donkey's back, slapped the donkey lightly on the ass and let it run, and then gently pushed open the door of the restaurant, a more intense blood rushed to his face, and the moonlight sprinkled on the lobby, full of bloody severed limbs, and the blood all over the ground was like a sea of blood in hell.
Cheng Jiujiu did not panic, pinched his nose and walked into the house, his eyes flashed with a strange light in the dark night, looking left and right as if he was looking for something, and at this moment, a slow voice suddenly came from the dark depths of the house:
"You're late."
The voice was so soft that it was hard to hear whether a man or a woman's voice was heard, Cheng Jiujiu found a clean chair and sat down, and said calmly, "It's not too late if you haven't died." ”
"You did it on purpose."
"So what?"
Cheng Jiujiu stared sideways at the darkness, the voice did not sound again, as if it had completely disappeared from here, but Cheng Jiujiu did not relent, and scolded: "People who don't even dare to show their appearance dare to shout at me? I'm a little disappointed now, why didn't Yan Ting kill you. ”
There was no sound to answer, Cheng Jiujiu shook his head helplessly, walked to the counter and took a look, and couldn't help but laugh and scold: "This death is strict, and he didn't leave me any wine at all, and when I see him, I will definitely ask him to pay me a few big altars." ”
With Cheng Jiujiu's words, a man in black who only showed his eyes slowly walked out of the darkness, Cheng Jiujiu turned around and quipped at the figure, "What? Finally can't take it anymore? ”
The man in black replied, "So you admit that you deliberately let Yan Ting go, and this time you were deliberately late." ”
Cheng Jiujiu nodded: "Yes, I did it on purpose." ”
A sword light lit up, and a sword quietly came out of the sheath and was held in the left hand of the man in black, Cheng Jiujiu laughed instead of being angry, and said provocatively: "You don't have to forget what the consequences of the last time you showed your sword to me, this time no one can stop me." ”
The figure of the man in black froze, and the sword in his hand quickly fell into the scabbard, Cheng Jiujiu didn't look at him again, got up and walked out, and was about to walk out of the gate when he heard the man in black ask, "Where are you going?" Our task is not yet complete. ”
Cheng Jiu didn't reply, and said, "That's your task, not mine." ”
The moon seemed to be covered with a thin gray veil, and the soybean-like rain became heavier and heavier, as if it was about to completely water Luoyang City.
At the junction of Luoyang and Qizhou, Chengjiujiu rode on her little donkey, braving the heavy rain and drinking the extremely strong knife-burning wine in the gourd.
She was once asked how a murderer could drink all the time. How can you kill someone if you are drunk? She always replied with a smile: "Even if I bring all the wine in the world, I will not get drunk." ”
According to herself, the first moment she was born was not to drink the sweet milk of her mother, but to drink the stuffy donkey that could get drunk alive.
Others are getting more and more drunk, but she is getting more and more awake the more she drinks.
But now she was really drunk, shaking her head, and she couldn't say anything, and she fell to the ground and broke her blood, and she struggled twice, lying her whole body in the water, and letting the cold rain moisten her ruddy and hot face, which made her feel very comfortable.
The red figure is paralyzed on the ground, like red coral in the bottom of the sea in the middle of the night, it is difficult not to notice, but at this moment, even a child can easily injure her with a slingshot, so no one can imagine that the girl in red who fell to the ground will be a lingering nightmare in the hearts of many people.
She fell asleep like this, a slender red whip clutched in her hand.
