Chapter 16: What is the Truth?
On the way to Luoyang, the carriage was galloping, Tian Yu had already urged the groom three times, asking him to run as fast as possible, after all, he had not stepped into the rivers and lakes for more than ten years, I don't know what kind of good hand Cheng Chen would call to come to make trouble, and there was not much of the arrogance left when he just left the village, so even Shen Lu could see that this senior master was actually nervous in his heart. Of the three people in the car, only Tian Qingqing was not worried about the chasing soldiers in the rear, not so much not worried, but rather not caring, at this moment, what she was thinking about was what would happen after sending the Shen Gongzi in front of her to Luoyang. I saw her say faintly: "Brother Shen, when you go home, can we still meet in the future?"
Shen Lu was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that at such a juncture when he was facing a great enemy, this girl was thinking about this, and a warm current suddenly surged in her heart.
"Of course you can, the girl and Uncle Tian are the saviors of the next, and I will repay you with a spring in the future, and I will not forget you. ”
"Really, then you're going to come to the village to see me in the future. Tian Qingqing's joy was beyond words.
"Hey, the female university is not staying!" Tian Yu couldn't help but sigh.
"Phew!" suddenly the horse let out a long shout, and the carriage came to a sharp stop.
Tian Yu poked his head out: "What's wrong?"
The groom said: "The main road ahead is blocked by a big tree blocking the road, it's strange, there are no trees in this vicinity!"
"You and I go down and move the trees out of the way. ”
The groom opened his mouth wide: "What are you kidding, such a long and thick tree." Just the two of us?"
"You stay in the carriage and I'll take care of it. ”
"Hahaha, just leave such trivial matters to our juniors to solve. A piercing laugh, out of nowhere, Cheng Chen appeared with three people, the first of the three was Wang Chengzhi, the head of the Cang faction, and the next two were Wang Chengzhi's two proud protégés, the eldest apprentice Yuan Xiaotian, and the second apprentice Guo Li. This Wang Chengzhi has always been good friends with Cheng Yu, and the two of them have done a lot of shady evil things in private, which can be called an embarrassment. This time, Cheng Chen came to do business on his father's orders, and encountered such a setback, this Wang Chengzhi actually followed Cheng Chen to Luzhou in case of emergency. Although Cheng Chen has seen Tian Yu's power, he thinks that Wang Zhichenggui has been the head of the faction for many years, and he has brought the two most proud protégés under his door, it must be more than enough to deal with this blind old man.
"Senior Tian, it's not good to stay in the village, what are you doing so hard to run out, in this way, we will help you move the tree, but you have to promise me one condition, how about it?"
"What conditions?" Although Tian Yu knew that he was talking nonsense, he still subconsciously asked.
"Leave me the green in the car. ”
"The old man doesn't have the time to talk nonsense with you, so if you have the ability, you can go together. ”
"Where did you come from, the madman in the mountains is not small, I will send Wang Chengzhi to meet you for a while!" Wang Chengzhi heard the description of Tian Yu through Cheng Chen's mouth, so he didn't dare to be too big, and reported his name in advance.
"Hmph!" Tian Yu smiled contemptuously: "Wang Chengzhi of the Diancang Sect, but he was abandoned from the beginning to the end, I should have lost your life more than ten years ago, but there was something halfway, so that you can survive to this day." ”
"Don't be ashamed, more than ten years ago, I knew who you were!"
"Lan Sisi, do you know this person, it was she who hired me to kill you more than ten years ago, but at that time I went to Yunnan for a temporary matter, and then there were some changes, so although I took this order, I have not fulfilled it to this day, it can be said that your employer is the only person who has been broken in my life, I can't imagine that God is not thin on me, more than ten years later, give me the opportunity to complete the old agreement!"
"What, you, you, you are Sima Ling, you, you are still alive, alive!" Wang Chengzhi was shocked, and couldn't help but stutter.
Although Cheng Chen and the two disciples of the Cang Sect had also heard of Sima Ling's name, they were all juniors after all, so they were not extremely shocked, but Shen Lu in the carriage heard this, and his whole body seemed to be shocked, it turned out that the initiator who confused himself with Mu Yun's family was not dead, and he even saved his life, he wanted to go out and ask for an explanation, but he couldn't move his legs. Tian Qingqing was also shocked when he heard his father's real name for the first time.
"That's right, it's me Sima Ling, I've been incognito for more than ten years, I can't imagine that there are still many wolf-hearted people on the rivers and lakes, and today I will get rid of one or two to clean the rivers and lakes. ”
"Cheng Shaoxia, today is not a martial arts competition, so there is no need to talk about the rules of the rivers and lakes, let's go up together and kill this blind man. "That Wang Chengzhi knew that he was by no means Sima Ling's opponent, so he decided to attack in a group as soon as he came up, rather than a wheel battle.
"Even if you wait for the little ones, they are also worthy of talking about the rules of the rivers and lakes, and take their lives!" Sima Ling roared, and ran towards the four of them with his sword.
The so-called thief captures the king first, among these four Wang Chengzhi's martial arts are the strongest, Sima Ling stabbed Wang Chengzhi's apprentice with his sword, Yuan, Guo Erren, in fact, is a false move, when Yuan Guo and the two bounced outward, Sima Ling's wrist flicked, and the long sword stabbed Wang Chengzhi, Wang Chengzhi didn't have time to dodge, and barely lifted the sword frame, who knew that Sima Ling's sword was unpredictable, and when it was approaching, he changed the route of the long sword again, although Wang Chengzhi began to react half a beat slower, but with his ability to hold this sword can still be completed, who knew that this stab actually bypassed his sword and stabbed his left chest, Wang Chengzhi shouted in his heart: "My life is over!" Who knew that his whole body was just stabbed and ejected a few meters away, and the whole chest was in severe pain, but there was no wound. Only then did I remember that I put a heart guard on my chest and escaped, and I was overjoyed and yelled: "Let's go together!"
Yuan Xiaotian and Guo Li saw that the master was not dead, and they were also in good spirits, and when they saw the master attacking the front side of Sima Ling, they hurriedly attacked both sides of Sima Ling on the left and right. Although Sima Ling's eyes can't see, his ears have been tempered over the years, he listens to the sound and distinguishes the position, and the long sword swings extremely fast, and he takes the sword moves from the front and left sides one by one, although it can be said that he is invincible, but it is not easy to knock down the three parties, after all, the three people who are fighting against him are the most powerful three people in the Diancang faction, and they also have a certain status in the rivers and lakes. At this time, Sima Ling regretted revealing his identity prematurely, otherwise he could quickly break down one or two people, so that the situation would be much better, now if he can't quickly knock down the three people, if he drags on for a long time, he will inevitably die under the sword of the three people, Sima Ling was suddenly startled, and thought of Cheng Chen, who did not make a move, this person is well versed in the way of secret weapons, if he does not make a move at this time, he must be waiting for an opportunity, an opportunity when he can't make a move to parry. Thinking of this time, Sima Ling was anxious to turn defense into attack, but this urgency gave Cheng Chen an opportunity, two steel nails shot directly into Sima Ling's chest, at this time Sima Ling was no longer free to resist the flying steel nails with a sword, and when he heard the sound, he knew that the hidden weapon was coming, and quickly jumped into the air, but he still did not dodge the blow of the hidden weapon, and the two steel nails were nailed straight into Sima Ling's lower abdomen. Sima Ling felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen, he knew that this steel nail must also be poisoned, if he didn't make a desperate bet at this time, not only him, but also Shen Lu and his daughter in the car would definitely be buried here. Thinking of this, he used all his body strength to swing the long sword and stab directly at Wang Chengzhi, Wang Chengzhi suffered the first time, in case Sima Ling would change the route of the sword, although Wang Chengzhi guessed this time, Sima Ling did change his moves, but what Wang Chengzhi didn't expect was that Sima Ling's tricks were too out of line, Sima Ling suddenly turned into a slash, and the sword technique was actually fused with the knife technique, this cut Sima Ling used all his strength, and the internal force of the whole body was also contained in the sword qi, the sharp long sword and the deep sword qi actually split Wang Chengzhi into two, and even the big tree lying on the road behind Wang Chengzhi was also shaken open and bounced away。 The other three were shocked when they saw that Wang Chengzhi was cut into two pieces in an instant, and they didn't dare to attack again for a while.
"The unfinished business more than ten years ago is given today, hurry, hurry, hahaha!" Sima Ling looked up to the sky and laughed: "There are three left, let's come together!"
The other three were still stunned.
"If you don't dare to get on, go back. Sima Ling jumped into the carriage, the groom had already scared away, Sima Ling drove in person, Tian Qingqing showed him the way, the carriage roared past, leaving Cheng, Yuan, and Guo still standing in place.
After a while, Guo Li asked, "Just let them go?"
"Don't worry, I can't run far, my hidden weapon is fed with poison, he can't survive for an hour or two, just now he didn't continue to attack us, which also shows that he is the end of the crossbow, let's continue to chase, spend time with them, consume that Sima Ling to death, another waste person and a woman, easy to solve." ”
Sima Ling drove for more than ten minutes, stopped on the side of the road, and asked her daughter and Shen Lu to get out of the car: "I have a hidden weapon in my body, I can't drive for too long, they will definitely follow when they react, let's get out of the car and go, find a place to rest first." Sima Ling knew that the hidden weapon in his body was highly poisonous, and the fatal blow he gave to Wang Chengzhi just now had exhausted a lot of his internal strength, he knew that he didn't have much time, and if he was caught up by Cheng Chen and them, the three of them would definitely die, so he decided that the three of them would go to find a place to settle down nearby.
Sima Ling was on Shen Lu's back, Shen Lu knew that Sima Ling was seriously injured, and clamored for Sima Ling to leave him alone, but was angrily reprimanded by Sima Ling. It's a pity that the carriage is not parked, there is no place to settle within a radius of thousands of meters, and it took more than half an hour to find a broken temple, Sima Ling knew that he couldn't last long, so he gambled, and the three of them entered the broken temple.
Sima Ling put down Shen Lu and lay on the ground, breathing quite rapidly.
"Dad, how are you! Dad!" Tian Qingqing burst into tears.
"Uncle, this secret weapon is the same as mine, it is poisonous, take it out quickly. ”
"It's useless, from the moment I killed Wang Chengzhi, the poisonous gas had already attacked my heart. ”
"Yes, uncle, I can save it, you can too, come, Miss Tian, help me, I'll get a hidden weapon for uncle." ”
"No, don't be busy, child, I know my own affairs best, Qing'er, Dad is dying, I can't take care of you anymore. Sima Ling turned his head and said softly to Tian Qingqing.
"Dad, don't say that, Dad, now I know what my original surname should be, and I will be called Sima Qingqing in the future. ”
"No, don't change your name, just call Tian Qingqing, in your eyes, your father should always be just that farmer Tian Yu, promise your father, don't step into the rivers and lakes, go back to Tianjia Village, and be a villager with peace of mind, you promise your father, otherwise your father will not be blind. Sima Ling saw that he was about to die.
"Let's give it a try, uncle, Miss Tian, let's come together. ”
"No!" Sima Ling shouted angrily, the two of them were stunned for a moment, no longer acting, Sima Ling turned to Shen Lu and said softly: "Child, you are very good, very good, at this moment, you don't ask me why I robbed you and Mu Yun more than ten years ago, but only care about my safety, you are very good, very good." Sima Ling couldn't stop praising Shen Lu.
"Uncle, don't say it, it's important to save the injured. ”
"No, I'm going to say, I'm going to tell you everything, back then I was..."
"Hahaha, they're all dying, what year are they still going to be. Before Sima Ling could tell the past, there was a burst of laughter outside the temple.
