Chapter 30: The Most Unretained in the World (6)
As far as the battle of rivers and lakes is concerned, it is impossible to judge the victory or loss by the number of the two sides or the lack of strength, which is different from the confrontation of the front army in front of the array. If the two armies meet, one side is a young and vigorous person, and the other side is a dying old person, and you don't need to think about it to know what the result is.
But for the rivers and lakes, martial arts, weapons, poisons, and experience ...... It can easily change the decay left by the years, the strength and weakness of the flesh, and everything that ordinary people know.
He Sha's men were at the front of the closest encirclement, rushing wildly and swiftly, but they turned into foam in vain like waves crashing into the reef.
These fierce people who should have bullied the weak and arrogant in the rivers and lakes were knocked down and killed in front of the old man's and wife's fists, feet, needlework, kitchen knives, and benches. The whole scene is not cruel or bloody, for the old-timers of the Ning family who broke through the prestige of the previous generation, killing these young Jianghu people seems to be a very simple matter, like going out to bask in the sun and strolling around.
He Sha originally wanted to use his young body and brave strength to break through the encirclement, but after observing for a while, he found that these old immortals of the Ning family's retreat to the rivers and lakes really lived well and became a spirit - they would not be desperate, nor would they not know how to advance and retreat, these people quietly retreated behind their companions after killing the first wave of enemies, and the ones who had not yet started to recuperate were in front.
Then he knows that he can't rush out like this, and he doesn't have to expect these old guys to look out of breath in front of you.
He Sha's tall man stood out in the crowd, and he slowly raised his right hand, his wide sleeves fading down, revealing his pale, thin arms. No one knew what he wanted to do. Ning Xiaosi and Hongdou suddenly became nervous.
The old fellow who noticed it began to communicate with his companions, and the surrounding formation seemed to be less compact than before with his movements.
He Sha stretched out his index finger, and then turned his thumb slightly, he smiled and spoke, not much effort, but everyone present heard it very clearly.
"The seventeenth generation of the head of the He family, He is broken, bearing the light of the fire, holding the bell with fear, sacrificing with flesh and blood, and singing mercilessly!"
He snapped his fingers.
It was as if the gates of hell were called.
Except for He Huashan and He Tu, the Jianghu people around him suddenly ignited a fire, and the subordinates he led were frightened by the flames on their bodies, and rushed out desperately.
Wang Xiaojun watched in amazement as the whole scene went out of control, and countless burning flesh rushed in panic, disrupting the formation of the Ning family's old people joining forces. The sight was like a huge firework blooming in the village. He noticed that several elderly people had been hit and grazed, and the flames quickly spread to them.
"Why did it suddenly catch fire?"
Hongdou frowned, and when he heard him ask, he said: "This is the He family's long-lost Elephantless Fire, I didn't expect He Sha to be able to practice such a stunt!"
"In any case, you can't let He Sha run away!" A solemn look appeared on Ning Xiaosi's calm face, and he shouted loudly: "Seniors, if you let this person go, the Ning family will not be able to live in peace in the future, and he will definitely leave his life!"
But it's too chaotic, people are old, and they value and cherish the old guys who used to fight together, and the old guys who are injured and on fire are by their side, where do they still have the heart to care about the broken ones in the sea of fire. Some of those who wanted to stop were also rushed away by the charlatans who were on fire - even the iron-blooded soldiers who practiced all day long couldn't watch a fire come up and not avoid it......
He Sha walked leisurely in the blooming fireworks, walked out of the encirclement, and said softly in his mouth: "Born by me, do what you want from your heart." β
There were still some people who went around and wanted to stop and kill him, Ning Xiaosi and Hongdou chased after him from the roof, and were about to jump down, when they saw him raise his hand again.
No one dared to act rashly at this moment.
He Sha raised his hand, turned his head to look at Ning Xiaosi, and said with a smile: "I am very happy to meet the fourth brother today, I want the rain to fall this day to cheer me up." β
His hand stretched out his index finger and pointed to the sky.
There were no dark clouds, but the sun in the sky disappeared at some point, and the raindrops really fell.
"The rain is too cold, it's desolate, I want the rain to burn and burn this sky! Defeated, I admit it, but even if I lose, the people of the He family have always been beautiful!"
He snapped his fingers again.
The rain that fell and burned.
It was like a god hiding in the clouds, setting off a lively fireworks, and the embers were not extinguished, and slowly fell in the air with the rain.
Ning Xiaosi and Hongdou jumped off the roof, took refuge under an eaves, looked at the old people scattered in all directions, and looked at He Sha, who was standing peacefully and idly in the scene of scattered escapes, took the huge bamboo umbrella from behind and slowly opened it.
He Huashan and He Tu hid under the umbrella, and He Sha asked with a smile: "How about this move?"
The bamboo umbrella soon burned, and in He Sha's hand, it was like holding a flower of flames, the fire burned on the umbrella surface, and the rain of fire drifted around him.
Ning Xiaosi also applauded and praised: "It's beautiful!"
Hahaha. With an exaggerated, smug laugh, he faded awayβtoday I say that I am God.
The whole rivers and lakes, only the Ning family still has records, according to legend, in the last years of the Sui Dynasty, there is a person who is amazing and brilliant in the He family, once in the western suburbs of Daxing City, put a shocking heavenly fire, the fire falls from the sky with the light rain, after the fire rain, leaving a corpse, it is said that it is the cloudy sky and the light rain burns the eight wildernesses, also known as "the rain and fire in the sky". Since then, there has been no such supernatural power in the rivers and lakes, and the rumors have been regarded as jokes and gradually extinguished.
The old man who cut the flower branches appeared next to Ning Xiaosi at some point, and also stood under the eaves, watching the burning light rain go away with He Sha and the three of them, and after disappearing, it became dripping, clear and unblemished, the flames all dissipated, and the rain returned to its original cold and lonely scene.
"Little Four, it's really troublesome in the future. β
"Ordinary people are in trouble, not to mention people in my generation. It's just that the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it. β
The three members of the He family who entered the mountain road, He Huashan had already reached out to support He Sha and asked, "They won't chase after them?"
"Of course not, Ning Xiaosi has this ability, he should be a cautious person, he doesn't seek to make a last resort, but if he doesn't make a mistake, I put two fires in a row, he can't figure out my depth, and he won't fight to the death." β
"There is such a character in the Ning family, it is really not easy for us to take revenge in the future!"
"It's easy, what's the point?"
He Sha leaned on He Huashan tiredly, almost unable to walk.
The old people of the lonely old village cleaned up the streets, dragged the dead to the col at the west entrance of the village to bury them, and these did not have to be bothered by Ning Xiaosi and Hongdou, and the three young people followed the old man who cut the flowers and branches into a room, heated the tea, scalded the face towel, and tidied up and rested.
After drinking a few cups of hot tea and calming down a little, Wang Xiaojun couldn't wait to ask Ning Xiaosi: "Little Fourth Brother, do you know what happened to the fire and rain that day just now?"
He glanced at the red beans leaning on the edge of the table, holding his cheeks in a daze, and said stupidly: "What is that called, is it a spell?"
Hongdou laughed, and Ning Xiaosi also curled the corners of his mouth, "It's just some tricks, there are some things in the sky that can fall with the rain and ignite." β
Wang Xiaojun didn't believe it and said, "But I don't see anything in the sky." β
Hongdou said: "It should be a tiny thing that is difficult to see with the naked eye...... in the "True Yuan Miao Dao Essentials": "Those who combine sulfur and realgar with saltpeter, and burn it with honey, and burn their hands, noodles and embers." I think there is such a thing, but I don't know how he used to ignite the fire. The first time I didn't pay attention, the second time I stared at his hand, but I didn't see any flames or anything that started the fire. β
Ning Xiaosi smiled and said, "If it was an easy-to-guess technique, the He family would not have been lost for so many years. But I've seen it today, and next time it's not hard to guard against. β
Hongdou had already thought of some ways just now, and at this time said: "When I was looking for him, I staggered the rainy day, and when he found him, I asked people to bring bamboo umbrellas and fine sand to avoid fighting in unobstructed places." β
Ning Xiaosi said with a smile: "Since we can think of it, how can we not know what is broken? β
More than 20 miles away from the lonely old village, in the barren mountains and old forests, He Tu held a knife in front, overcoming thorns and thorns, and He Huashan behind him was burdened with He Crush. Don't take the avenue, don't take the mountain road, and wade out of a trail by yourself, just to avoid people who are good at tracking; those who walk the rivers and lakes are afraid of life and death, and in the face of life and death, many things become small.
He Tu is a clean-loving person, but now his shoes are full of mud, and his clothes are full of tears and broken branches. What annoyed him the most was that he had a murderous knife in his hand, but now it was being used to chop wood and split branches.
Estimating that no one could track it down, they found a clean place and sat down, He Sha was awakened, only to see He Huashan handing over the water bag, he smiled, took it and drank a few sips, only to find that his hands were full of blood when he went back.
He Tu said a little unconvinced: "I didn't expect us to become lost dogs today, so embarrassed!"
He Huashan didn't look at him either, tied the water bag back to his waist, looked up at the sky from the staggered branches and leaves, and said to him: "As long as we don't die, we can always find another chance...... The Ning family is too powerful to deal with, so if you want me to say, go to Chang'an to find Ye Yunsheng!"
He Shazheng wiped the blood from his hands with a snow-white silk scarf, and said expressionlessly: "We were originally lost dogs, and the He family is long gone, and the family is gone, how can we be decent? But the lost dog is good...... Most dogs with owners are fearless, they bite people indiscriminately, you can go to their home, negotiate with their owners, and it is up to you and its owners to decide whether to kill their dogs or break their legs. But what about the lost dogs? Where do you look for them? Where do you take precautions? Don't look at us now, we are in a mess, in fact, the Ning family is most afraid of us in this Jianghu!"
He Huashan asked hatefully, "You still won't let me go to Ye Yunsheng for revenge?"
He Sha said calmly: "Calculating the time, Yun Wujing should have arrived in Chang'an, if my expectations are correct, Chu Kexing is already on the way...... If you go now, you will be sent to death, and the Ning family wishes that we would return to Chang'an. β
"So what are we going to do now?"
"Wait! When they and Wei Xian understand, we'll find another chance. β
He Tu didn't fight with the two, and whispered on the side: "I don't want to be a lost dog." β
Both of them heard it, and He Huashan walked over and put his arm around his cousin's shoulder. He Sha covered his face and said lightly, "Who wants to?"
The sunlight passed through the branches and leaves, mottled on the three of them, and became an old shadow of time that is difficult to return to.
He Sha took away his palm and saw the blood flowing from his fingertips again.
Snapping his fingers twice before, his internal strength was exhausted, and the nail of his middle finger was also cracked, and the blood did not stop.
He was so used to it that he didn't even feel the slightest pain.
"Let's go back to Shicun first and think about it in the long run. β
He Sha lazily stretched out his arms, moved his waist, and laughed, "I don't feel discouraged when I lose this game, but I enjoy it very much." β
He Huashan asked, "Why is this?"
He Sha looked at him in his eyes, but what he thought of was that he snapped his fingers over and over again at a candle every day.
"I always feel that it is not enough to kill the girl of the Ning family so easily!"
He Tu and He Huashan listened to his words, and a smile appeared in their eyes.
