Chapter Twenty-Four: Killing the Tiger
In ancient times, there were many tigers, jackals and other birds of prey in the mountains, and their habits were fierce, and ordinary people did not dare to set foot in them. The trees in the mountains are uncut down and grow naturally, some of them for hundreds or thousands of years.
These trees are lush and towering, and their branches are lush and shaded. Even in the daytime, where the forest is deep and lush, the light is still very insufficient. And when night comes, the sky is far less bright than the daylight, although the moon shines brightly. Then blocked by branches and leaves, it is naturally dim and abnormal.
As soon as Zhang Yueqing entered the mountain, he fell into the deep sea. It's just that the enemy is at present, he doesn't dare to stay, and walks up the mountain indiscriminately, and after a while, his whole body is scratched by thorns and sharp leaves, and the blood is dripping and the pain is unspeakable.
He endured the pain, and waited until he had walked for nearly an hour, and heard that no one was chasing him, and then he took out the flint from his bosom, lit the fire, found some dead branches, and lit the torch.
In the light of the fire, I found myself in a bush, beside which thorns were reborn, some of which were firmly hanging on my clothes.
He smiled bitterly, anxious in his heart, "This mountain is vast, thousands of miles long, and the road is difficult, how easy is it to find Xiaoyan and them?"
Then he thought again, "The situation in the mountains is so complicated this night, and the group of people under the mountain want to search during the day and rest at night. If I had been hunted down here, I would have been dormant during the day. ”
But they always need to find some food and water to survive, not during the day, only at night, maybe they are out foraging for food.
He was lucky, and let out a long howl, only to be startled by the falling leaves.
After a few long whistles, he didn't hear any response, and laughed at himself, "Even if you really have this kind of luck, but Xiaoyan is nearby, from this whistle, how can you tell whether they are friends or enemies? I'm afraid that I will attract the enemy instead, Zhang Yueqing, Zhang Yueqing, you are really stupid!"
In fact, he is not an ignorant person, but in the face of such a situation, he is hesitant for a while, and he is worried that Xiao Jinyan has a strange poison in his body, even if it is hidden in the mountains, the enemy will not be able to find it. It will only take a few more days, and the poison cannot be suppressed, and it will also be certain to die.
He went through a lot of hardships, and finally got the antidote, originally thinking that he only needed to go to Deshule and relieve Xiao Jinyan's poisonous wounds, so he found a way to return to the Lunatic Sect and rescue Ye Xinxin, who knew that he had encountered so many changes in the process?
These days, he is worried about Xiao Jinyan on the one hand, and Ye Xinxin on the other, and he is already tired of trekking between the poor mountains and bad rivers every day.
No matter how strong a person is, how can he not feel miserable in his heart when he has experienced several hardships again and again, life and death?
Just as he was feeling sad, he suddenly heard a strong wind blowing in his ears, and the wooden leaves around him rattled, and the birds on the big tree overhead that had just been startled by his whistle flapped their wings and flew high again, and their mouths let out a panicked chirp.
He was about to look at the place where the strong wind was blowing, when something that looked like an iron rod in the ground was whipped at him. He hurriedly dodged away, and a small patch of trees around him was beaten by this blow, and the branches and leaves flew away, and he couldn't stop shaking. Just as he was about to take a look, a deafening tiger roar came, and there was already a white-fronted tiger in front of him.
The great insect was more than a foot long, and its body was huge, and its huge head had a formidable bloody mouth, and its mouth was full of fangs, and it was screaming madly at him.
Zhang Yueqing was furious in his heart, and scolded, "Dog, God, I have been chivalrous all my life, and I have never done anything against morality, why did I get so clean!"
The evil spirit in his heart was in vain, and he didn't dodge, and slashed at the big insect with a sword.
The big insect was extremely fierce and not afraid at all, and greeted it like a claw with teeth and claws.
With a click, the long sword slashed at the front paws of the big insect, and it broke itself in two.
It turned out that when he had just fought with Yan Rufeng at the foot of the mountain, the sword was cut several gaps by the long knife.
The big worm was also in pain, and after a while, it pounced again.
Zhang Yueqing's eyes were bloodshot, and in anger, he threw the broken sword at the head of the big insect, and took advantage of the opportunity of the big insect to dodge, picked up a thick dead branch, and used all his strength to knock it down on the head of the big insect.
With a snap, the stick hit the forehead of the big insect, Zhang Yueqing's hand was shocked, and the front tip of the wooden stick had already broken, cracking a sharp gap.
The big insect was hit desperately by him, and there was a sharp pain in his forehead, and he immediately became ferocious, kicked his hind feet on the ground, jumped high, exposed his sharp front claws, and roared and pounced again.
Zhang Yueqing saw that the big insect was in the air, and the door under him was wide open. fell to the ground on his back, and with the momentum of the big insect pounced, he aimed his hand breaking stick at the abdomen of the big insect and inserted it fiercely.
The big insect screamed, the abdomen was pierced by a broken stick, the strength was greatly weakened, and the huge body fell down from the air, Zhang Yueqing hurriedly rolled out, and before he could stand up, he was thrown to the ground by the big insect that was the first to get up, and bit him on the head.
Zhang Yueqing hurriedly stretched out his hands and strangled the neck of the big insect. The big insect was seriously injured, and its strength was not as great as before, and it was hard several times, but it couldn't bite Zhang Yueqing, and it was so anxious that it roared.
Zhang Yueqing only felt that the big insect was spewing gas from its mouth, and the smell was extremely unpleasant. But my body was pressed again, I couldn't move, my hands gradually felt sore, and I complained bitterly, "Just half a cup of tea later, my strength declined, and I was immediately bitten to death by it... ”
For as long as he can remember, he has been without parents. has been following the master, wandering in the rivers and lakes. Although he has learned martial arts, he has never lived a few days of peace. Later, he gradually gained some fame in the martial arts, and the good times did not last long. The eldest brother was regarded as a public enemy of martial arts, and was suddenly killed, he couldn't bear to ignore it, desperately rescued his brother's orphan, and fled all the way to Mobei in the pursuit of various factions in the rivers and lakes.
In order to prevent his brother from losing his only bloodline, he rushed to southern Yunnan to seek an antidote, regardless of the hardships and dangers. Fortunately, with the help of Ye Xinxin, he achieved his wish, but his beloved was also confined to the mountains by the high priest of the Lunatic Worship Sect, and his youth turned into flowing water.
These days, whenever I think of the scene when I was separated from Ye Xinxin, my heart aches, and I only hate that I am not strong enough to save her from suffering. I hate the injustice of the sky, and fate is so tricky.
Seeing that he is about to die in the tiger's mouth today, no one will know about it thousands of years from now. couldn't save his brother's only son, and he even made a promise to Ye Xinxin when he parted that day.
Sadness is born from the heart, and tears flow out of the eyes unconsciously. I felt that the strength in my hands was getting weaker and weaker, and I couldn't support it for a while. I sighed long in my heart, "That's it, my life is like a tragedy, I hope that in the next life, I can make up for all the debts in this life." ”
Let go of your hands and close your eyes to death.
The big insect had to be relieved, but it didn't bite off, and its huge head shook a few times, pounced, and fell beside Zhang Yueqing.
The breath in his mouth is like a gossamer, and he is about to die.
Zhang Yueqing thought that it would be difficult to survive today no matter what, but he was suddenly surprised to see the big insect fall.
I felt that my body was warm, and there seemed to be a warm liquid flowing, and when I reached out and touched it, I suddenly understood.
It turned out that he had just stabbed the big worm with a broken stick, although it was not immediately fatal, but the wound was huge, and under the bite of the big worm, the blood kept flowing out, and he died of excessive blood loss.
