Chapter 9: Killing
Although Shen Yuan hated the beggar gang very much, he was still timid in his heart if he wanted to kill himself.
He had seen many times of public yeeing and killing, but he couldn't figure out how it could be as easy as stepping on an ant to die with a life in his hands. Moreover, he is only a head taller than the three-foot-long Northern Underworld Sword, and if he wants to fight with these men who are more than seven feet tall, wouldn't he be a sheep?
He only felt that his chest was heaving, the sky was spinning in front of him, his mouth was thirsty, and even his breath was urgent, and the hand holding the sword couldn't help but tremble slightly.
Gongyehe saw all this in his eyes, and said lightly: "Shou Lingming, Luck Method, Qi Shen Dantian, Mixed Yuan Zhou Tian." Seeing Shen Yuan doing so, he paused, and said, "You just have to remember that if you don't kill them, they will kill you." Later, I will start to move, Lao Tzu will not care about you, although life and death are fateful, but if you don't want to die, find a way to live. ”
Shen Yuan thought carefully about Master's almost ruthless words, which really made sense. Secretly operating the mental method, and when you settle down at the moment, you will not be as flustered as Fang Cai.
"Hahaha! Gongye old horseman, you let this stinky boy rush to death, did you hurt your brain by practicing?" Xie Dayou laughed wildly, "In this way, it will be fulfilled for you!"
"To say more to this fat pig is to dirty my tongue. Gongye and ignored Xie Dayou, and only said to himself. With that, he took out the Qingshuang Sword from the sword bag behind his back and walked into the middle. Shen Yuan didn't think much about it at this time, just like Gongye He said, if you want to live, you have to think of your own ideas, he held his sword and was on guard.
Hearing what Fang Cai Gongye and Zigu said, Xie Dayou immediately changed his face. I saw that he took two steps back, and shouted "up", this black pressed flower, with everything in his hand, stones, slingshots, iron rakes, hoes, and swords, but the most of them were flower sticks.
got Xie Dayou's order, and rushed up.
How could a six-year-old child have never seen such a scene, Shen Yuan stabilized his breath and settled his mind, and as soon as he looked up, he saw that some of these beggars were smiling, some were dancing with their teeth and claws, and some were staring at him with saliva in their eyes!
Fortunately, he reacted quickly, and the oncoming stick was dodged by him, and before he could stand firmly, someone from behind him grabbed him, Shen Yuan rushed forward, and he was about to avoid it;
Shen Yuan instinctively rolled backwards, it was easy not to be smashed, and he was afraid, but then there was a sharp pain in his back, and he was hit by this flower stick, fortunately, the Northern Immortal Sword blocked it, which also shocked him to grin and displace! Shen Yuan screamed in fright, and ran away, waving the Flying Snow Sword as he ran, and at this moment he forgot any sword moves outside the clouds, even if he wanted to, he couldn't do it!
This chaotic running made these flowers mess up, and a few of them were cut by Shen Yuan with a sword, and they even saw blood.
Looking at Gongye and behind him, there were the corpses of these beggars, and no one dared to step forward for a while. Gongye and the sword were full of energy, and none of the dead beggars came within five feet of him. Every time Gongyehe took a step forward, those flowers took a step back, and some of them peed their pants in fright, and there was a burst of fishy shame.
Gongye and Yu Guang glanced at Shen Yuan, and muttered secretly: "With such a chaotic effort, it can't last for a moment." As soon as these words fell, Shen Yuan was already out of breath.
At this moment, Shen Yuan leaned back on the mule cart, waving the sword in his hand, and barking in his mouth, just like a dog cub besieged by a group of hungry wolves. Shen Yuan said in his heart: "In this way, sooner or later it is not a way. He tried hard to recall his sword moves, and at the same time tried his best to steady his breath.
Unbeknownst to him, someone crept up from the other end of the mule cart and reached out to grab him. Shen Yuan suddenly smelled a foul smell wafting from behind, and glanced sideways slightly, only to see a rotten hand full of sores trying to capture him. As soon as the man grabbed it, Shen Yuan was running forward at the same time, and it happened to be caught on the Northern Underworld Sword, Shen Yuan couldn't escape, causing the surrounding Hanako to laugh playfully. Shen Yuan was in a hurry to untie his belt and rushed out.
Hanako, who had rotten hands, didn't know how heavy the sword was, and an unsteady head fell to the ground and knocked unconscious. Shen Yuan didn't have the Northern Stygian Sword on his body, and he only felt that his movements were more brisk. Suddenly remembered to wrestle with the leper in the Dengfeng Broken Temple, and the corners of his mouth raised, and the idea came to his heart.
Shen Yuan relied on his short stature and agility to rush left and right in the crowd, and this group of flowers couldn't catch him for a while! And he also calmed down at this time, raising his sword or stabbing, or chopping, or poking, or teasing, each sword beckoned to the descendants of these flowers, and in an instant, two or three flowers didn't have time to dodge, they became eunuchs, and fell to the ground and wailed!
Hearing Youhuazi scolding: "Little brute, you are also vicious!
Shen Yuan didn't answer, and his hands didn't stop. The flowers were all afraid, as long as they were close to him, they hurriedly protected the place, and they didn't have the heart to capture and kill, for fear that they would be killed. And Shen Yuan's mind became more and more sober at this time, the "Huashan Sword Technique" and the "Ape Gong Sword Technique" went back and forth, once someone sneaked attacked, he would dismantle the move to block, and then still make the sword go down to the three ways to greet him.
It makes these five big and three rough men tremble, and they don't dare to act easily!
Seeing this, Gongye He smiled secretly: "This stinky boy didn't disappoint Lao Tzu!"
Originally, this Gongyehe did not force Shen Yuan to kill people, and the words he said just now were just to let Shen Yuan truly understand what the dangers of the rivers and lakes were. Gongye and his heart said: "This world is too evil to tolerate innocence." ”
Xie Dayou, who was hiding behind everyone, looked at Gongye He, who was killing people like mowing grass, worriedly. At this moment, Gongye He only had seven swords, and more than 30 people had fallen to the beggar gang!
Since Xie Dayou joined the beggar gang, he has never seen such a powerful character, seeing Gongye and pressing step by step, there are fewer and fewer people in front of Xie Dayou. He didn't dare to move easily, but his mind began to calculate how to get out.
Looking at the beggar disciples in front of him, Xie Dayou smiled at the corner of his mouth, and suddenly heard a dragon groan, only to see Xie Dayou with both palms out, and these flowers flew towards him with blood spurting blood from their noses and mouths!
"Despicable!" Gongye He raised his sword to block it casually, only to see that Xie Dayou, who was covered in fat, leaped in the air, and blasted towards Gongye He with a powerful palm, the palm wind was fierce, making people unavoidable! Gongye He's eyes lit up, and said: "Eighteen palms of the dragon!"
In the face of this extremely strong and fierce palm, Gong Yehe's sword move turned into flowing water, and with a light stir, the sword qi swirled, which actually made Xie Dayou's palm fall short, and the palm wind slammed to the ground, splashing sand and gravel.
Gongyehe couldn't help but praise: "The eighteen palms of the dragon descending are really powerful and fierce!"
Suddenly, I saw Xie Dayou lift the green jade staff, the moves used were subtle and wonderful, and the opportunities were full of changes, and he had ten moves with Gongyehe!
"Although your stick method is the best in the world," Gongye and the ancestors of the Beggars Gang were not angry, "but if you are asked to use it, it will not only insult this kung fu, but also tarnish the reputation of 'dog beating sticks'!"
After that, the "Pro" word in the "Nine-Character Sword Sutra" came out!
The nine characters in the "Nine-character Sword Sutra" are "Lin, Bing, Fight, Person, Both, Array, Column, Front, and Line".
Seven years ago, Gongye and learned on the sword and jade tablet of Penglai Sword Pavilion that this sword technique originally had nine styles for each word, and each style was divided into nine strokes.
It turns out that the essence of this set of swordsmanship is that ninety-nine is one, and then one life is two, two is three, and three is all things, and the cycle is endless. The nine characters contain nine styles, and the nine styles are divided into nine moves, and the sword trick of one of these words alone is all-encompassing. In those five years, Gongye He had no mental method to follow, so he could only practice the sword diagram and footwork engraved on the jade tablet over and over again, and combine them over and over again, and evolved a total of 243 swordsmanship in the first three words!
The tricks are dangerous and unpredictable!
Although Xie Dayou worked hard to split ten moves with Gongyehe, it was just to borrow the benefits of the "Dog Stick Method". After ten moves, he suddenly saw Xie Dayou screaming miserably, and flew out upside down, even he didn't see Gongyehe's movements clearly, only to feel that the cold light flashed in front of him, and he was already lying three feet away.
The sword marks on his chest turned out, and blood gushed out. Xie Dayou secretly rejoiced, thanks to the green jade staff blocking one, he picked up a life, he raised his arm to look at the beggar gang token that had been interrupted in half, and said secretly in his heart: "I thought I would take advantage of the situation to escape, how could I not withstand a sword......" He lost consciousness and fainted as soon as it was dark.
The remaining beggar disciples immediately panicked when they saw that the group of dragons had no leader. Carrying Xie Dayou, he scattered in all directions.
There were only a dozen or so Huazi who wanted to capture Shen Yuan as a hostage. Previously, these people were played around by Shen Yuan, but at this moment, they gave each other a look, and surrounded Shen Yuan tightly, wanting to work together to capture him.
Gongye and looked at the situation, but still had no intention of helping. However, Shen Yuan would not let the mermaid flesh, he walked quickly to dodge, and drilled when he saw the cracks, and the anxious group of flowers scolded the "loaches", coming and going, which really made Shen Yuan run out.
Shen Yuan ran around the mule cart in a circle, and those flowers chased after him. Shen Yuan was running, and suddenly two people came in front of him, so frightened that he hurriedly turned around! At this moment, only to hear the sound of "poof", Shen Yuan only felt that his face was hot and sticky, and then raised his eyes to see that the flying snow sword in his hand was actually inserted into the body of Huazi who was chasing behind, and the sword stabbed straight into the heart from the man's abdomen, and blood spurted out, and the flower fell to the ground on his knees, and he lost his life when he landed!
I only heard these flowers gasp, and they forgot to catch Shen Yuan, and they stood in front and back without moving, and Shen Yuan could only hear his own wheezing and the upsetting cicada chirping.
As if his eyes were fascinated by the blood splashed on his face, Shen Yuan raised his hand to wipe it, the fishy breath drilled into his brain, and suddenly woke Shen Yuan up, only to hear him shout, instinctively retreated, and heard a "swish" sound, and the half-inserted sword body was brought out by the trend!
The flower was lying on the ground, Shen Yuan watched the blood gushing out quietly from under the corpse, and in the blink of an eye, the ground around him was soaked in dark red!
Shen Yuan's head was blank, but his eyes were red! He slowly turned around, holding his sword, and stared at the flower in front of him with a straight gaze.
Xu was frightened by Shen Yuan's appearance, Shen Yuan was covered in blood, his eyes were blank, but his eyes were very wide, and several flowers were staring at him! I saw Shen Yuan take a step forward, this step finally broke the silence, these flowers retreated and muttered: "Quick, go quickly! Withdraw!" Then retreated farther and farther, turned around and ran away without a trace.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps sounded from behind him, Shen Yuan turned around violently, raised his sword and stabbed, but in an instant, the tip of the sword could no longer enter!
Looking at it, it was Gong Yehe's two fingers that gently clamped the sword body, Shen Yuan panicked and let go of the hilt of the sword, took two steps back, but he didn't stand firm and fell, turned his head to see the corpse on the ground, and muttered: "I killed someone! Master, I killed someone!"
Gongyehe put away the Flying Snow Sword, picked up the Northern Immortal Sword on the ground again, and said, "It's on the road." ”
Seeing that Shen Yuan didn't move, staring directly at the person he killed, Gong Yehe shook his head, sighed lightly and carried Shen Yuan to the car. As soon as the whip was drawn, the mule pulled the cart and walked slowly.
Suddenly, Gongye He sighed with some emotion, as if he said to the mule: "You are still a brute, whether you kill or not, you just care about pulling the cart, but you are at ease!" looked back at Shen Yuan, and saw that he was still sitting in a daze in the tent, shook his head, and then drove the car.
After walking a short distance, I saw a river in front of me. Gongyehe threw Shen Yuan into the river and said, "Sober up in the water!"
As soon as he got out of the water, Shen Yuan choked on his mouth and nose, couldn't breathe, and suddenly hit the water in panic. Gongye and the people who watched from the shore laughed. After a while, Shen Yuan stood up, and it turned out that the water was no more than shallow at the waist.
After such a toss, the fishy aura on Shen Yuan's body was diluted a lot by the river, and he was relieved at this time. Silently washed away the bloodstains, changed into a set of clothes, and continued on his way.
Just listen to Gongye and Tao: "You don't have to blame yourself too much, Sage Yun: 'Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs'." If you don't kill him, he will hurt you. And the guy himself will bump into him, and if he doesn't chase him, he won't die. ”
"After all, I killed him too. ”
"These beasts, when they die, they die," Gongye He disagreed, "Lao Tzu has lived for seventy years, and he has seen through it, in this world, it is a life and death, and you can't escape this heavenly cycle." If you kill this fight, you will also help remove a scourge in the world, and you can be called the way for heaven. ”
"Even so, do you have to kill people at every turn? can't you educate these people?" Shen Yuan didn't understand, and asked again.
Gongyehe stopped the car, turned around and said solemnly: "Stinky boy, you go to be a monk!"
Shen Yuan was stunned: "Why?"
"Grandma's, chattering is the same as those monks!" Gongyehe suddenly scolded: "You are also a leader, this person will kill and kill, what can you do? What's more, what is killed is something inferior to beasts, if you want to educate, send him to the Buddha to educate!"
Shen Yuan was speechless after being scolded, and after a while, he muttered in a low voice: "I just asked two questions, and I don't know who is chattering!"
Gongye and his ears are very good, and when he opened his mouth, he asked, "Stinky boy, what are you muttering?"
Shen Yuan pursed his lips and just looked at the scenery.
"Hmph!" Gongye was angry, but he was a child.
Let's say that Xie Dayou returned to his residence, and several elders of the beggar gang ordered someone to find Lang Zhong to treat him, and then he woke up slowly. After resting for two or three days, Fang went to the ground.
At this time, He Youdao's secret letter ordering him to lead the beggar gang to delay Gongye and go to Shaoxing also arrived in his hand, thinking about Gongye and the power of the sword, Xie Dayou couldn't help but be afraid for a while. But He Youdao's order, he didn't dare to disobey. After thinking about it left and right, I finally decided on a solution.
He called someone to ask Gongye He where he was going, and knew that Gongye He must pass through Chao County, Luzhou. At that moment, I went to the news with the Nine Lions Gang of Chao County.
These Nine Lions Gang are actually local thieves who occupy the mountains as kings, and they do some business on weekdays to rob homes and houses, kidnap tickets and kill people. The nine leaders of the gang are brothers of the blood alliance, all of them have unique skills, gather three or four hundred people, and make waves in the Chaohu area, and even the local government has to temporarily avoid the edge.
The imperial court sent troops to pay for the bandits several times, but the Nine Lions Gang was close to the mountains and lakes, relying on the dense and steep forests on the mountains and the overgrown water and grass in the lake.
The leaders learned from Xie Dayou's news that this Gongye and the imperial court had offered a reward, and the Huashan faction had even promised a lot of money to invite the gangs to get rid of this person, and the nine swords on this person's body were all worth 10,000 gold, rare treasures in the world! Xie Dayou also spread the word that the leaders of the Nine Lions Gang were heroes in the world, and Xie Dayou was willing to bow down, and such benefits were given to the Nine Lions Gang and so on, in short, some high-sounding beautiful words.
But these nine people are not fools, if this thing is easy, then how can Xie Dayou give it to others? But then I thought, how can I not do this door-to-door transaction? So I set up hidden piles along the way, made plans, and waited for Gongye and the master and apprentice to come.
But they didn't know that the Huashan faction had promised a lot of money, but Xie Dayou made it up and made something out of nothing.
Besides, this "Demon Slaying Order", only the seven major factions in the rivers and lakes have this prestige. But after the public faction obtained this order, they learned that it was Gongyehe who was going to be killed, but they all died down. Only these people who don't know the height of the sky have the courage to provoke.
The mule cart traveled slowly, crossing the city without entering, and only stopping in some wild villages and isolated towns along the way.
Shen Yuan was not as depressed as he was a few days ago, and when he thought about it carefully, it seemed that what his master said was not unreasonable. However, after this battle, his mind has calmed down a lot. Practice sword practice every day, never slack off. When Gongye wanted to teach him a new swordsmanship, he politely refused.
This is called Gongye and Haosheng, I can't help but ask him the reason, Shen Yuan only said that he was in battle that day, and he forgot everything he had learned, which shows that his foundation is not solid enough, and when these two sets of swordsmanship are engraved in his heart, he will say anything else.
Gongyehe couldn't help but nod his head when he heard it, and his heart was relieved.
Seeing Luzhou City, Gongye He sighed and said that he had no chance with this roast duck in Luzhou, and felt sorry for himself. went straight through Luzhou to Chao County.
After traveling for less than two days, when they arrived in Chao County, it was inconvenient for the master and apprentice to enter the city, so they stayed in the village of Woniu Mountain outside the city. That night, the Nine Lions Gang got the news and it can be said that they poured out.
Countless torches turned the dome above their heads red, and Gongye He and Shen Yuan were sleeping deeply in the inn, when suddenly there was a rush of horses' hooves, and there was a panicked howl in the village.
When the master and apprentice heard the sound, they rushed out of the house, only to see that the fire in the village was soaring, the crowd was panicked, and a group of thieves were holding weapons, killing people when they saw them, and robbing them when they saw them! Suddenly, several thieves passed by, saw Gongye He and Shen Yuan, and shouted loudly: "The people have been found!"
Suddenly, nine horsemen led the way around them. These nine people are the nine leaders of the Nine Lions. Gongye and understood that it was for the two of them.
I only heard the leader of the nine people say: "Are you Gongyehe?"
"Yes, it's Lao Tzu. Then Gongyehe turned his head to Shen Yuan and instructed, "When I take care of them, you should take care of yourself." ”
Shen Yuan took the Flying Snow Sword and said, "Yes, Master." ”
Just looked at Gongye and said to himself: "Let's use 'purple electricity' this time!"
With that, he pulled out the purple electric sword, kicked it under his feet, and flew to stab at the thief who had just spoken. Caused by this sword blade, there was a faint sound of thunder, and Gongye He, who was still two zhang away just now, jumped in front of the thief's head horse in the next moment, and the sword body seemed to be a thunderbolt penetrating the thief's torso.
Before the leader of the thieves could see the movement, he fell from his horse and lost his life, and the other eight were all shocked and frightened. But Gongyehe didn't give them a chance to escape.
At this time, a group of thieves from the Nine Lions Gang rushed up and besieged Gongyehe. Just look at Gongye and his feet, he kept walking back and forth, and at the same time wielding his sword to kill the thief.
The purple electric sword is sharp and strong, and it can only show the power of this sword if it moves like thunder. The thief couldn't see his movements clearly, but felt that the sword shadows were shuttling back and forth in the crowd, and every time the sword light flickered, more than a dozen people fell to the ground and died. The thieves were frightened and fled most of them in an instant! The other eight leaders, fearing that they would be targeted by the public, dismounted early and hid in the crowd to be on guard.
A sword shadow flashed in front of the eight of them, only to see three of them suddenly clutching their necks, but their mouths were blistering with blood and unable to speak, slowly collapsed to the ground and died;
At this time, Gong Yehe suddenly appeared in front of the remaining two thieves, and with a sweep of his sword, the two heads rolled to the ground.
A total of more than 300 people from the Nine Lions Gang poured out, except for the thieves who escaped, in less than a moment, there were less than 100 people alive now.
Shen Yuan also went back and forth with a few minions in the back, fortunately, he practiced his swordsmanship hard these days, and those minions couldn't hurt him, but he could only rely on his figure and swordsmanship to protect himself. It just so happened that Gongye and Fawei shook these Xiaoxiao before they got out.
However, Shen Yuan finally realized the horror of Gongye He, not to mention that his martial arts are as profound as Taiyue Cangming, but it is not an exaggeration to say that he treats people like grass and mustard when he kills people, and is called the murder demon by the world!
Only this way, Shen Yuan also knew that although there were people who died under Gongye and the sword, there was no innocent person.
The people in the village saw that the Nine Lions Gang who was the victim of one party was killed by this ancient old man and one sword, and the nine leaders were even more killed here, seeing that the Nine Lions Gang was no longer able to become a climate, the people bowed down to Gongye and praised one after another: "Thank you old immortals! Thank you old immortals!"
Gongye He looked at the people coldly, only cut off the heads of the nine thieves, then set up the car, called Shen Yuan, and took advantage of the night to gradually move away.
Since coming out of the village, Gongye He has been silent and has been driving the car by himself. Shen Yuan thought that Master was unhappy in his heart, and asked, "Master, are you okay?"
After a while, I heard Gongye and said: "It's okay, you can sleep in the car first, find a place to stay tomorrow, and rest for a day." ”
"Hmm. Shen Yuan was interested, and knew that there must be something in Gongyehe's heart now, so he stopped asking, lay down and fell asleep.
Gong Yehe looked back and saw that Shen Yuan was sleeping soundly, so he couldn't hold back any longer, and a mouthful of blood spurted out! He said in his heart: "Sure enough, if you use the Sword Sutra without a mental method, you will almost go crazy! It seems that you can still use this sword technique without it!" It turned out that his internal injury was caused by the sudden rush of true qi when he used the "Nine-Character Sword Sutra" when he was just right, and he accidentally injured his lungs when he forcibly pressed his true qi. At that moment, I clicked on the four major acupoints on my chest, the dovetail, the period gate, and the giant que, held my breath and concentrated, and slowly adjusted my luck.
On the second day, the people of the village sent the nine heads to the county seat, and when they entered the city gate, they found that the murderer and felons who had been offered a reward on the notice were the old immortal who had eliminated the harm for the people last night and the little child who was with him. The people talked to the magistrate, and the government was embarrassed.
In the end, the magistrate is a good official who is compassionate to the people, but he is not effective in suppressing bandits. At that moment, he ordered someone to tear down the proclamation, and only said: "Although this person violated the king's law, he got rid of the bandits in my Chao County, so he is the benefactor of the people of my Chao County, no matter what happens in this county, if the old gentleman comes to the local area again, this county will not be embarrassed by him!"
Then he hung the nine heads outside the city gate for public display!
Nazhi County stood alone on the city tower, silent, taking advantage of no one's attention, and bowed in the direction of Gongye and Xiangxiang.
