Chapter 4, The Old Man in Gray
Before I knew it, noon had passed, and the heat between heaven and earth seemed to have converged a lot because of the passage of time.
The people on the street began to slowly increase, and the afternoon began.
At this time, on Changqing's white face, there were still beads of sweat sliding down from time to time and quietly falling to the ground. Make a slight "tick".
Changqing's clothes were soaking wet, but he knew that it wasn't the scorching heat that was wrapped around him.
It's a coldness that comes from the bottom of my heart, an unspeakable fear.
Chang Qing didn't raise his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead, because the slightest distraction would kill him in an instant.
When Wang Hu and the others saw Chang Qing's demeanor, they also understood the seriousness of the matter, and they also didn't dare to act rashly, staring at the private room in the middle of the second floor with their eyes, ready to fight at any time.
There was silence in the tavern, and even the sound of their rapid breathing could be heard.
Finally, Chang Qing could no longer bear the pressure of this namelessness.
He slowly lowered his head, clasped his hands into fists, and said in a deep voice to the second floor: "Today's incident is what my brother did wrong, if there is any punishment, I Changqing will bear it alone, and please show mercy to my brother's subordinates." ”
"Big brother!" Wang Hu's voice trembled a little.
Wang Hu has a bold personality, and he is unwilling to let his brothers die for him.
Chang Qing said loudly: "Please show up and make it clear." ”
The shopkeeper staggered over to Tang Juan, glanced at Don Juan, and motioned for him to leave quickly.
Don Juan pulled a chair and sat down, looking at the picture in front of him with interest.
The four of them have a clear division of labor, tacit understanding, and extraordinary martial arts.
Golden Knife King Tiger, with a strong personality, ruthless, and a powerful golden knife in one hand,
The smiling face Bashan was gloomy, and he could never see what he was thinking on his smiling face, and the hidden weapon in one hand was very accurate, and there were countless hidden weapons hidden in his body, and they were all highly poisonous and very dangerous.
Those masters of the rivers and lakes often died in a daze when they were fighting with Wang Hu, and they were killed by a hidden weapon that came from nowhere.
Therefore, in the entire four murderers in Saibei, the lives of the smiling Bashan are the most.
The poisonous widow Xu Niang was born romantic, and it is said that she was once a member of the Tianyang Sect, but later because she eloped with a scholar, she committed a taboo in the church and went away to the north. She is full of poisonous skills and is unpredictable.
And what she is best at is to tempt the enemy with her beauty, and quietly take her life when the enemy is not paying attention
Some people may ask, don't those people know that the poisonous widow is famous?
But even if you know, the inexplicable sense of conquest in the hearts of those men will always quietly haunt at this time.
The conquest of such a woman as the poisonous widow can be said to be very appetizing to them.
Beauty is always more striking than dangerous.
"Men are always cheap. "Those who die because of beauty will always hear Xu Niang's chuckle in the end.
And the "star picker" Chang Qing, he is a thief who never goes empty, he has a calm personality, has a plan, and is a genius of calculation.
In addition, he has profound martial arts, and he has run for hundreds of miles without resting, avoiding the people who came to chase him.
What's even more interesting is that he never revealed where he was from or where he came from, and what is known is that he came to Saibei because he was hunted down.
The mystery of all this did not prevent him from becoming the leader of the Four Murderers of Saibei.
On the contrary, with the addition of Changqing, the four murderers in Saibei are famous inside and outside Saibei, and even people who are far away in the Central Plains will hear that there are such four fierce and vicious people in Saibei.
Don Juan quietly looked at the four people in front of him, grinned the corners of his mouth, and laughed.
At this time, the four murderers of Saibei were not as majestic as before, they stared at the door of the private room on the second floor, their bodies motionless, like a fried cat, full of uneasiness and nervousness.
"Tong'er. ”
At this moment, a voice sounded in the private room, breaking the silence flowing in the air. The voice was different from the beautiful voice full of youth and vitality before, and this time the voice seemed very old and harsh.
It's like a cat's paws scratching the wooden door, clinging to the hearts of Chang Qing and others.
Evergreen's heart was beating faster.
Finally, the door of the private room on the second floor "creaked" and was slowly pushed open.
Chang Qing and the others suddenly trembled, and there was a faint surge of air around their bodies, obviously ready to go.
Flee or fight, right now.
The door opened, and what appeared in front of everyone was a short old man in gray with gray hair, walking out slowly.
The old man's eyes were cloudy, and he looked around the hall on the first floor without saying a word.
The girl in red named Tong'er ran to the old man and said sweetly, "Grandpa!"
Don Juan also looked up at the old man and frowned, he didn't expect it to be him.
Chang Qing looked at the old man who was a little wooden in front of him, and the crisis in his heart couldn't help but be a little higher.
At the moment, I couldn't help but ponder: "Who is this old man?" I couldn't even see the depth of him. ”
And there are only two possibilities that Changqing can think of.
First, the old man's martial arts are unfathomable and cannot be detected.
The second is that he is just an ordinary person.
If it was the latter, Chang Qing would kill him immediately, but if it was the former, it would be very troublesome.
But if it were ordinary people, how could they appear at this time?
Thinking of this, Chang Qing raised his hand again, clenched his fists and said, "Who is Your Excellency?" ”
The old man's expression was sluggish, and he didn't seem to hear Chang Qing's inquiry, but turned his head to look at Don Juan who was sitting there, and the old man's voice sounded again: "What's your name?"
The old man didn't speak, but his voice came through the air.
When Chang Qing saw this scene, his heart was shocked again
"Heaven and earth are turned into sounds, king-level masters. ”
In today's rivers and lakes, there are almost no "immortal" people.
There are only three "saints" now, all of whom are "sword saints", who were Yuanmu Dao people fifty years ago, Saibei coffin people thirty years ago, and sword emperors ten years ago.
These three people are the strongest in the world.
Although there are "king" people in the rivers and lakes, there are only a hundred.
And the people under the "king" are all mortals.
After all, everyone can practice martial arts, and there are all kinds of martial arts, so how can they judge?
But this heaven and earth sound is the beginning of the division of the world's first-class masters.
Chang Qing and the others trembled, and they didn't dare to continue to speak, waiting for the old man to ask.
Tang Juan blinked, was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "My surname is Tang, Tang Sanqiao." ”
At that moment, Don Juan casually made up a name and told the old man.
The "king" level old man nodded thoughtfully, turned to the boy who had just run in front of him, and asked, "Was this kid bullying you just now?"
Tong Er giggled, and said in a voice like a silver bell, "It's not him, it's those ones." ”
Chang Qing and the others' hearts sank, and a coldness spread from the back of their backs to their whole bodies, and their bodies did not dare to make the slightest movement.
The old man frowned, looked at Don Juan, and said, "You use a knife?"
Don Juan smiled bitterly and said, "I won't have it for three years." ”
A hint of surprise flashed in the old man's eyes, "Three years?"
"Three years. ”
"But the knife intent on your body is so natural, I can feel the sharp stabbing sensation in the private room. The old man looked at Don Juan, as if he wanted to see through Don Juan. He asked in a deep voice.
Don Juan smiled, "I don't use a knife because I don't need it." ”
The old man was a little stunned, nodded, and commented: "Very good." ”
Don Juan still sat there and smiled.
Chang Qing had long known that the young man named Tang Sanqiao in front of him was unusual, and from the fingering of the broken knife in his hand, Chang Qing judged that Tang Sanqiao was at least among the kings.
"When will there be one more such young master on the rivers and lakes. Chang Qing couldn't help but think.
"The man who had just stabbed her severed the hand that came out of the knife. The old man said softly, with a hint of indifference in his tone.
"You!" Wang Hu was about to get up, when suddenly, a burst of blue light flashed and passed through Wang Hu's right shoulder.
Wang Hu screamed "ah" and knelt on the ground, his face pale.
I saw that Wang Hu's right hand was long gone, and the blood flowed from his shoulder, and he could see the bones wrapped in flesh and blood, which was extremely hideous.
Chang Qing stood in front of Wang Hu, his right hand was grasping an arm, and he looked at Wang Hu coldly.
The arm in Changqing's hand was Wang Hu's right arm.
"Big brother, you. Wang Hu's face turned pale and he gritted his teeth and asked.
"If you don't give it to him, we'll all die!" Chang Qing shouted in a low voice.
Wang Hu gritted his teeth and said nothing, his left arm covered the wound on his right shoulder, and the blood ran down his left finger, staining the ground red.
Chang Qing turned around, showed the arm in his hand to the old man, and said in a deep voice: "Today's matter is what we did wrong, and I ask for forgiveness." ”
The old man looked at Changqing and nodded.
Chang Qing turned around and motioned for the smiling face to help Wang Hu up, turned around and walked out of the door, they walked quickly, for fear that the old man would suddenly change his mind.
But before they reached the door, Chang Qing and the others left and felt that the air around them seemed to have turned into a quagmire, and it was difficult to move an inch.
"The woman stayed. At this time, the old man's mouth opened slightly, and he said the first sentence.
Xu Niang's body shook slightly, turned around, and looked at the old man, her originally tender eyes became a little timid.
Tang Juan glanced at Xu Niang, and a hint of intriguing smile flashed in his eyes.
