Chapter 8: Five Poisonous Spirit Sons
Ma Yan's eyes kept rolling with tears, she had lost her parents since she was a child, and her brother had always raised her. Even if she had a sister-in-law later, her eldest brother's love for her was still undiminished. Now that she sees her beloved eldest brother about to leave, how can she not be sad.
"What are you crying about?" Although the mandarin duck knife's eyes were a little dead gray, his tone of voice was still so calm. "People in the rivers and lakes, there will always be this day, not so much death as liberation."
Relief, what a relief!
Hearing the reprimand of the mandarin duck knife, Ma Yan's eyes were still painful, she closed her eyes, and silently appeared beside her brother. Yun Xiang seemed to have been rendered by a dying man, and he didn't say a word, and his hatred was not mentioned at this time.
"This brother, what's your name?" Mandarin Duck Dao's gaze suddenly fell on Yan Feng's body.
Yan Feng didn't expect him to suddenly ask his name at this time, but when he saw his appearance, he also subconsciously replied: "Yan Feng is below." The swallow of the swallow, the maple of the maple leaf".
"Yan Feng, good name", the mandarin duck knife's eyes turned to the side, his expression was a little confused, and he muttered in his mouth: "Swallows, maple leaves, are all things that pursue freedom." As everyone knows, how many people in the world are pursuing freedom but cannot get rid of the shackles of the world. If I had to choose again, I wouldn't have agreed to the duel ten years ago, even if I lost the name of this mandarin duck knife."
Suddenly, the mandarin duck knife sat up from the ground suddenly, startling the three people around. He was a dying man, but he sat up with a momentum, and he didn't have the strength to hold the sail at all. Although he sat up with a momentum, he lost his stamina and fell down again in just a moment.
Ma Yan hurriedly reached out to support him, but the mandarin duck knife shook his hand and slapped Ma Yan's hand. Then his legs contracted, and his hands were firmly on the ground, and he could barely sit up.
Ma Yan watched the once high-spirited eldest brother become like this, and couldn't help crying, but tears kept pouring out.
Mandarin Duck Dao didn't have the energy to observe his sister's condition at the moment, only to see him struggling to sit up from the ground, but his eyes were fixed on Yun Xiang's body on the side. Looking at his dead gray eyes, even if it was Yun Xiang, his cold face was slightly shocked.
"When I saw your sword, I thought I remembered the old man", the mandarin duck knife stared at Yun Xiang's face, and said slowly: "Mandarin duck knife, the grievances of the snow sword originate from me and your parents. Originally, I still resented your parents because of the death of my lover, but when I later learned that your mother also died because of that duel, I sympathized"!
"Sympathy"? When he said this, Yun Xiang was stunned.
The mandarin duck knife didn't feel weird at all, but said: "Sympathize with your father, he and I are actually suffering from the same disease, even if I get the ranking of the master list, I have lost the person I love the most." ”
Yun Xiang listened to the words of the mandarin duck knife, and couldn't help but hold the hilt of the sword tightly.
"Come, I'll sit here. Use the sword in your hand to settle the ten-year grievances, and our grievances should not affect your descendants. This grievance is over, you are free, and my sister is free"!
Ma Yan shouted, fell on the body of the mandarin duck knife in the afternoon, looked at Yun Xiang viciously, and said, "I won't let him touch you." ”
"No", the mandarin duck knife shook his head and said, "I have thought about ending this matter countless times before, but I always can't let you go. Now that my life is short, I will settle this matter before I leave, and I must not add any more trouble to you. ”
Ma Yan cried bitterly, hugging the mandarin duck knife.
"Sister is obedient, get out of the way", Mandarin Duck said gently, but Ma Yan only cried and didn't move at all.
"Get up~", the mandarin duck knife shouted, because of this force, he coughed a few times, and his face became worse. Ma Yan heard the shouts of the mandarin duck knife, cried a few times aggrievedly, and got up and stood aside.
The mandarin duck knife's face was very calm, without the slightest fluctuation, and said indifferently to Yun Xiang: "Come on."
Yun Xiang held the Tilting Snow Sword in his hand, and his eyes stared directly at the face of the Mandarin Duck Knife, as if he wanted to see something from his face. But he was disappointed, the mandarin duck knife's face did not change at all, and he couldn't see anything at all.
I thought he said this on purpose, just to gain sympathy. But now it seems that he was really bent on dying.
Yun Xiang looked at the mandarin duck knife, but the mandarin duck knife also looked at Yun Xiang, and the two looked at each other like that.
The sharp sword is in his hand, as long as he gently hands the tip of the sword forward, he can repay his biological mother's hatred for more than ten years. However, he found that he could not do it. Killing such a mandarin duck knife is really revenge?
After a long time, Yun Xiang coldly spit out a few words in his mouth. "What you just said, my father also said that if he chose again, he would not go to the appointment ten years ago, even if he was ridiculed by the heroes of the world."
After speaking, with a "boom", the Tilting Snow Sword had already been withdrawn into its scabbard. Without saying a word, he turned and left.
Looking at the figure of Yun Xiang leaving, the three of them were silent. Yun Xiang's choice is the best, and he is not shackled. Just like Yan Feng's first impression when he saw him, this is an unrestrained person.
"Yun Xiang"! Yan Feng suddenly shouted at Yun Xiang's back.
Yun Xiang stopped, but didn't speak, just turned his back to Yan Feng.
"We ......", Yan Feng smiled slightly, although Yun Xiang couldn't see it, he could still feel it. "Still friends, right"?
Friend...... Friend, hearing these two words, Yun Xiang's body trembled. He ran out with all his might, and disappeared from the sight of the three of them in a blink of an eye.
Seeing Yun Xiang suddenly run away, Yan Feng was also stunned, and said to himself a little: "Does he agree or disagree."
"He's not a person who doesn't understand anything", the voice of the mandarin duck knife sounded behind Yan Feng, and Yan Feng nodded in agreement. When I turned around, I was startled. The eyes of the mandarin duck knife were terrifying, and his whole body was already soft on the ground.
After all, he was supporting it in one breath just now, and now that his wish has been fulfilled, what strength does he have to support it.
"Brother", seeing the appearance of the mandarin duck knife, Ma Yan cried.
The mandarin duck knife lay on the ground and said quietly: "Sister, you have to live well, don't be sad, my brother just went to find your sister-in-law, she waited for me for ten years." He smiled at Yan Feng again. It's just that the way he laughs now, it's so terrifying.
"Yan Feng, thank you for saving Yan'er just now, I'm leaving, I just hope you can help my sister more in the future."
Yan Feng looked at the mandarin duck knife's smile, and couldn't refuse his request before he died: "If you need it, you will never give up."
The mandarin duck knife smiled even more, but it became more and more difficult. "Good, thank you. To tell you, in fact, I also have the word wind in my name, which is nothing more than the wind of wind and rain. All I wanted for my life was freedom, and this time...... This time, it's finally ...... It's done, ha...... Ha...... Hah"!
In the midst of laughter, the mandarin duck knife closed his eyes and left this world. His wish has been granted, and he can finally leave. In his words, he was relieved. And there was nothing left, and what was left for Ma Yan was only the mandarin duck knife.
Jianghu people, isn't it all like this? Come in a hurry, go in a hurry!
"Big brother"! Ma Yan shouted, hugged Ma Feng's body and cried bitterly. She remembers that her parents died when she was born. The eldest brother himself is twenty years old, and he is roaming the rivers and lakes, but he still cares about himself meticulously. Later, when I was five years old, my sister-in-law went. Although the eldest brother didn't show anything in front of her, his words always revealed his thoughts about his sister-in-law.
"It's because my martial arts are too bad"!
Since then, he has practiced martial arts with his heart and vowed to protect his eldest brother. However, because his strength was too poor, even the eldest brother did not protect it well.
Looking at Ma Yan's sad appearance, Yan Feng also sighed. walked up to Ma Yan and said, "Girl, don't hurt your body, just let your brother go with peace of mind, he won't be happy to see you so sad."
As if listening to Yan Feng's words, Ma Yan's crying voice gradually subsided. looked down at his brother in his arms and muttered, "I will definitely take care of myself and practice martial arts well." Brother, don't worry, go to your sister-in-law."
......
At noon in Yucheng, a mournful trumpet sounded, and Yan Feng and Ma Yan were now in a team. Ma Yan was dressed in filial piety clothes, while her brother was lying quietly in a coffin. After a lifetime of hard work, even if he reached the pinnacle of martial arts, he still settled in the loess in the end.
It's a blessing to have a place to bury!
"Big brother", Ma Yan stroked her brother's cold face and said, "Big brother, you can go with peace of mind." When Yan'er grows up, she will take care of herself."
The innocence on her face had disappeared without a trace, and people would grow up one day, but she was only a teenager, and she came back too early.
After Ma Yan finished speaking, she glanced at her brother very reluctantly. Gritting his teeth, he waved his hand as if he had made a lot of determination, and the coffin was covered. The mourning team walked slowly towards the outside of the city.
And after the team left, a somewhat obese man watched from behind them, a look of viciousness on his face. said fiercely: "Whoever offends me will not end well, nephew, uncle will avenge you."
......
Outside the city, Ma Yan knelt in front of her brother's grave, she didn't cry or shout, she just knelt quietly like that, not saying anything. She won't let her brother worry about her anymore, she must not cry anymore.
And the original name of the mandarin duck knife is also engraved on it, Ma Feng!
Yan Feng looked at Ma Yan like this, but he felt a little unbearable in his heart. Such an innocent girl, but she has to suffer such pain, how to accept it.
"Girl, don't hurt your body", Yan Feng actually struggled to speak, because he understood Ma Yan's mood very well, he had actually experienced the same thing.
Ma Yan glanced at Yan Feng beside him, slowly got up, and said to the grave of the mandarin duck knife: "I will avenge you, two of the five poisonous spirit sons died, and there are three left." I won't let go of any of these three."
Turning to Yan Feng, he said, "Thank you for accompanying me to complete my brother's funeral, now I'm going to find the Five Poison Spirit Son, let's separate."
Yan Feng shook his head and sighed. I was full of thoughts in my heart, and looking at her appearance, I am afraid that she will never be able to go back to the past. He suddenly felt a little ashamed of Ma Yan, if he had followed her at that time, maybe it would have been a different result.
But Yan Feng thought about it for a while, but Ma Yan had already walked far away. Yan Feng sighed again and turned around to go back to the city.
"If you want to take revenge, I'm afraid you don't have a chance!" Suddenly, a burst of harmony caught Yan Feng's attention, and he hurriedly looked at Ma Yan.
I saw that Ma Yan not far away was surrounded by seven or eight middle-aged men, and everyone stared at Ma Yan fiercely.
Ma Yan's eyes were cold, and he sneered: "You were sent by the Five Poison Spirit Sons"?
"Five poisonous spirits? No, we are just killers, and we do not belong to the rivers and lakes or to the government!" replied to a man at the head.
"Who is that?" Ma Yan asked again, except for the Five Poisons Lingzi, she couldn't think of any other enemies she had.
The man at the head said coldly: "Killer, the first thing is not to betray your employer"!
Yan Feng had already come to Ma Yan's side at this time, Ma Yan glanced at him, although he didn't say anything, but his heart was still warm with coldness.
"I always felt that the atmosphere was wrong, it turned out that you had been hiding behind!" Yan Feng said as he looked at a few men.
The middle-aged man at the head sneered and said, "There's a helper, but it's okay." We've been in the ranks, though. It's not that we're afraid of those, it's just that we don't want to alarm ordinary people, and it's always good to get into less trouble"!
Ma Yan said coldly: "I'm afraid that a few of you are not my opponents."
"Really?" the middle-aged man sneered, followed by a shake of his hand, and several people behind him did the same.
Suddenly, several bright lights struck the two of them.
Ma Yan had long known that these people would not come to her unprepared, so she was on guard from the beginning. Seeing these bright lights, I didn't panic at all. The mandarin duck knife is held in the hand. "P-o-o", two sounds, and the light fell to the ground.
Looking at Yan Feng again, he raised his palm and said with some surprise: "It's actually a poisonous dragon needle!"
On closer inspection, it turned out that there was something between his five fingers, which turned out to be several poisonous needles.
The middle-aged man's pupils contracted, although he had long known that the opponent was not easy to deal with, but he didn't expect him to take his secret weapon so easily. It seems that he still underestimated them.
"Since you know the Poison Dragon Needle, you should know how powerful he is. I advise you to stop struggling and avoid pain", although he was surprised by Yan Feng's ability, he still relied on it. He didn't believe the two would escape.
Ma Yan sneered: "It can't be done."
Yan Feng said lightly: "The poisonous dragon needle is a secret weapon that makes people in the rivers and lakes frightened. Originally from the Tang Sect in Shuzhong, it was later stolen by the disciples of this sect and lost to the rivers and lakes, and then became a hidden weapon that martial arts feared. Although that disciple had been executed by the Tang Sect, the poisonous dragon needle remained in the world, and there was no antidote. ”
Everyone present looked at Yan Feng, even Ma Yan, they didn't know what Yan Feng meant.
The middle-aged man snorted coldly and said, "Since you know, don't struggle."
Yan Feng said to himself as if he hadn't heard his words: "The poisonous dragon needle is also known as the seven-day life-breaking needle, if you are hit by the poisonous dragon needle, you will definitely die within seven days." And it was very painful, and every day passed, the body festered a little. When he died seven days later, he was left with only a pile of black bones."
The middle-aged man was already impatient, and sneered: "What exactly do you want to say"?
Yan Feng smiled and said, "I said so much, I just want to tell you one thing. The poison of this poisonous dragon needle can actually be cured"!
The middle-aged man was also surprised, he also thought that the dragon needle had an antidote, so he asked, "Do you have an antidote?"
Yan Feng replied with a smile: "Everyone has an antidote", and after speaking, he suddenly did something that surprised everyone. Holding a poisonous dragon needle between his fingers, he actually stuck it in his mouth and sucked it a few times.
"Yan Feng", Ma Yan exclaimed, she had also heard of the poisonous dragon needle, and of course she also understood the toxicity of the poisonous dragon needle. She didn't understand why Yan Feng did this, what was the difference between this and suicide. Several people next to him also looked at Yan Feng in surprise, thinking that this guy was crazy.
Yan Feng slowly took out the poisonous dragon needle from his mouth, and Yan Feng said to everyone: "This is another antidote to the poisonous dragon needle."
"What?" Seeing that he was still safe and sound, those people were faintly uneasy.
"Water! Water is the nemesis of the dragon needle, so I'll be fine if I hold it in my mouth."
Everyone's faces changed when they heard Yan Feng's words, and Ma Yan didn't expect that the nemesis of the poisonous dragon needle turned out to be the most ordinary water. If it spreads, I'm afraid the poisonous dragon needle is nothing at all.
They couldn't believe it, but Yan Feng's actions had already told them the truth, who would joke with their lives if they had nothing to do?
The middle-aged man and his men had clenched their fists, and they had already relied on the poison of the poisonous dragon needle. No matter how strong the opponent's martial arts were, as long as they were slightly scratched by the poisonous dragon needle, they would definitely die! But now this deadly secret weapon was so easily unlocked. Are these people really their opponents?
And at this time, Yan Feng suddenly spoke, "Let's go."
As soon as these words came out, Ma Yan was shocked and said, "Why did you let them go, they obviously wanted to kill us." ”
Ma Yan believed that without the threat of the poisonous dragon needle, she could deal with them, but she didn't know why Yan Feng let them go.
Those people also couldn't believe their ears, they knew the power of the mandarin duck knife, and they understood that the person in front of them was unfathomable, but why would he let himself go?
Yan Feng sighed and said, "Even if we catch them, it is impossible for us to know the whereabouts of the Five Poison Spirit Sons, they are just hired killers." “
The middle-aged man looked at Yan Feng, his eyes kept changing, and finally he was respectful again. suddenly bowed and said, "Thank you Shaoxia"!
At the moment when the poison of the dragon needle was cracked, he felt that these people were going to die here today, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him would actually let him go.
Yan Feng sighed: "Don't thank me, I just hope you can withdraw from this ranks, it's too dangerous."
The middle-aged man was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but sigh a little melancholy: "If it weren't forced by life, who would want to live a life of licking blood at the tip of a knife?"
After saying that, he left with a few people.
Yan Feng watched everyone leave and smiled slightly. turned around and found that Ma Yan was looking at him without turning his eyes.
Yan Feng was a little embarrassed by her and asked, "What's wrong?"
Ma Yan looked into his eyes and said, "I don't like people like you, who are as merciful as that hypocritical monk. My brother said that if you don't kill the bad guys, they're going to hurt others. You let them go today, and tomorrow you don't know how many will die at their hands."
Yan Feng sighed and said, "Of course I also know this truth, but my master once said that there is no absolute thing in things, and anyone has a chance to change."
Ma Yan frowned and said, "It seems that being able to say such things is the same as you, your master is ......."
Ma Yan was about to ask, but suddenly heard a scream not far away, and the two hurriedly ran towards the scream.
I saw corpses one by one, seven. Yan Feng was surprised to find that it was the middle-aged men who had come to assassinate the two before. And among the seven corpses sat a man, a woman, a beautiful and bewitching woman. She was looking at Yan Feng and Ma Yan with a smile, as if she expected them to come.
And the middle-aged man who was the leader before twisted his face, and suddenly laughed miserably and said to Yan Feng, "This time...... We're out of this business," and then he died of his breath.
Yan Feng couldn't help but sigh.
"It's you, you're not dead!" Ma Yan glared at the woman angrily, her eyes like she was about to burst into flames.
"Do you recognize her?" Hearing Ma Yan's words, Yan Feng asked with some surprise.
"Yes, of course. He is one of the Five Poisonous Spirit Sons, and one of the people who killed my eldest brother."
Yan Feng looked at it a few times, and also recognized that the three people on the roof of the inn had this woman.
"Little sister, how is your brother?" the woman laughed charmingly.
Everyone has their own uncoverable scars, and Ma Yan's scars are his brother. As soon as she heard her mention her brother, Ma Yan was even more angry in her heart, and the mandarin duck knife was already in her hand, and she rushed towards the woman with a "whoosh".
