5. Swordsman

The figures of several sergeants faded into the darkness, torches swaying in the dim corridors, but the light still did not cover enough distance.

Looking up, the darkness in the distance is like an unknown fierce beast lurking, waiting for its prey, choosing people to devour!

"My lord, don't tear my hair, oops, it hurts!"

A whip sounded:

"You damn little bastard, go away! You poor bones, do you have to let your uncle loosen your muscles?"

In the darkness, you can only hear and distinguish the scolding of soldiers and the sound of leather whips in the distance!

After a while, the beating and scolding died down, and the wailing was silent.

In the dimness, there was only the sound of objects dragging and dragging!

The peach coat emblem and the nameless old man glanced at each other, both of them were relatively speechless, and the sound of the sorrowful rope sounded, and the nameless old man suddenly took out a strange gourd from behind him.

He pulled the stopper, took a deep breath, and then cautiously, sprinkled some on the ground with a reverent expression, and muttered, "The world is a big dream, and I am very drunk." ”

"Whoa...."

The liquor in the strange gourd suddenly fell to the ground, and in the small prison, you can clearly hear the pleasant sound of the liquor hitting the stones.

The aroma is pervasive and fragrant.

It's as if even the bloody gas in the air has been diluted a lot!

The liquor flowed down the back of the fence onto the aisle.

Under the firelight, the peach coat emblem saw that some yellowish liquor was mixed and impure, and it didn't seem to be as clear and transparent as the clear and transparent Wuliangye and Moutai tribute wine in his memory.

This wine does not seem to be a good wine of high quality, but similar to the inferior rice wine made by those small workshops in my memory.

"Thank you for saving your life. The peach coat emblem suddenly spoke.

She carefully imitated the soldier just now and saluted.

"Good wine, although it is not the best, but at this moment, it is very rare. The old man behind the fence seemed to have not heard of it, and he squinted his eyes and looked intoxicated.

"Okay, good wine, hahaha..."

The old man didn't seem to be drinking the inferior rice wine in the strange big gourd, but tasting the best famous wine in Qingzhou's 'Deyuan Wine Shop', he sighed and admired while shouting, suddenly, the old man raised his head, picked up the strange big gourd, and drank it with his head up, "Good, good! Hahaha, good wine!"

The peach coat emblem was dumbfounded, and after a long time, the old man put down the strange gourd with satisfaction.

She suddenly remembered something, "Old man, since you can help me, why didn't you stop them just now, save that poor young man?"

"The little baby knows something. The old man said leisurely, "Those people are not related to my old man, why do you want to save them, if you can save them for a while, how can you help them for a lifetime?"

"But, old man, you just saved me, why can't you help them. The peach coat emblem was very puzzled.

The old man glanced at the peach coat emblem contemptuously, and then groped for a roast chicken from behind him, and ate it without hesitation.

"Okay, the meat is fresh and tender, with good wine, what do you want in life. ”

After a long time, the old man was full of food and drink, and while burping with wine, he said slowly:

"Hiccup, you don't need any reason to save you, the old man just looks at you well. ”

The old man took a few more bites of the roast chicken in his hand, and threw a chicken leg towards the peach coat emblem: "I see that your little guy is not a person from Daqi, it must be your master who sent you to travel the world." I don't understand the world at all, how can I come out and walk the world, this is the black prison division of Daqi, the old man himself is in prison, what to save, and how to save it?"

"This?" Tao Hui was stunned, her eyebrows frowned slightly, her expression was gloomy, and her hand holding the chicken leg suddenly stopped moving, as if she also remembered her situation today.

This encounter was strange and abnormal, and the distress made her heart tremble, and even she didn't know if she could go back alive!

Is it Zhuang Zhou's dream butterfly, or is it a butterfly's dream Zhuang Zhou?

Could it be that it's just a dream of Nanke?!

"What is this, do you know the swordsman Su Ye?" the old man's face turned straight, and he suddenly asked, "Little guy, you must have heard of it, right?"

The old man's voice was full of anger, and it woke up the contemplative peach coat emblem, and suddenly felt like thunder in her ears!

Tao Hui was a little dazed, and she exclaimed, "Su Ye, a swordsman, who is this, why have you never heard of it, how can there be a swordsman in the world?"

Since coming to this bizarre world and encountering many unbelievable strange things, her psychological endurance has improved a lot in one day, but the swordsman is unheard of at all!

"Swordsman..."

She murmured, lost in her soul.

The old man wiped his beard, and the eyes of the copper bell glared at the peach coat emblem, "Let me ask you again, little one, what kind of thing is the most precious thing to people?"

Tao Hui was stunned when she heard this, she scratched her head and meditated, and her eyes lit up: "I know, many things are not brought in life, and they are not brought in death, and the most precious thing is life!"

"Not bad!" the old man was stunned for a moment, stroked his beard and sighed slightly, as if he didn't expect the peach coat emblem to guess correctly, "But do you know why this swordsman Su Ye died?"

"Could it be that she is dying of old age?" Tao Hui guessed, glancing at the old man's somewhat gloomy face, she changed her words in fear: "Or is it a sudden illness that is seriously ill and incurable?"

"Is it because he was full of evil and was killed by the enemy?"

Without waiting for the peach coat emblem to continue guessing, the old man suddenly said in a vicious voice: "Bullshit!"

"Uh..."

The peach coat emblem was speechless for a moment.

"The swordsman Su Ye is righteous and thin, he takes care of each other, does things chivalrous and righteous, and is bright and fair, how can he do such a dirty thing!?" The old man's bronze bell-like eyes glared fiercely, and he asked, "Little baby, do you know how many knives a person can take?"

Peach Hui whispered timidly, "This..."

Unexpectedly, the old man waved his hand and sneered: "Three thousand six hundred knives, hahaha..."

"Huh?!"

The peach coat emblem opened his mouth and was terrified!

"Alas!" There was a faint sigh from the side, and the peach coat emblem looked sideways, and the old man actually sat in front of the fence from the depths of the prison on the other side, "In this world, demons are rampant, and corrupt officials and evil officials are rampant, but only a few people have died, what is it?"

Under the faint light of the torch, the peach coat emblem saw the appearance of the old man clearly, under the firelight, the old man's hair was white, he was dressed in a long robe, facing kindly, but his eyes were big like copper bells.

"The swordsman Su Ye was stabbed a total of 3,600 times! However, in the course of the execution, except for a few laughs, he did not let out a single wail, this kind of heroic spirit is really sighing..."

Peach Hui suddenly felt a chill all over her body, and she was furious, "Wouldn't that kill a good person?!"

Under the firelight, the old man's eyes seemed to be slightly red, he picked up the gourd and poured a few more mouthfuls: "The swordsman Su Ye has eliminated violence and peace in his life, robbed the rich and saved the poor, and killed a total of twenty-one demons in his life, and the people he saved in his life are unknown, but he died under the butcher's knife inexplicably." Behind him, he couldn't even find a complete body! he just gathered his bones and erected a barren mound. ”

Peach Jacket lost his voice: "Demons, how can there be demons in the world!?"

"Joke, you see how many idiots in the world wishfully beg God to worship Buddha, pray for promotion and wealth, and live a long life, since there are gods and Buddhas in the heavens, how can there be no demons?"

The old man's face was as usual, he just held the palm of the strange gourd, and seemed to tremble slightly uncontrollably, and he said: "Su Muyang, the prime minister of the Great Qi, has always been upright, iron-faced and selfless, never afraid of offending the powerful in the court, and has been loyal to assist the emperor of the previous dynasty all his life. The border of Daqin came to attack, although Gusu Muyang was a civil servant. But he also went into battle, became famous in a battle, and after he returned to victory, he was given poisonous wine by the emperor of the previous dynasty..."

The old man threw the gourd aside, and the rest of the wine suddenly spilled on the ground, and said again: "In this world, there is only right and wrong! Good wine, good wine! There is Yan Ruyu in the wine, and there is a golden house in the wine, haha..."

The old man's body, which had been sitting on the ground, suddenly collapsed to the ground, and he fell asleep, as if he was drunk and unconscious.

Peach Jacket climbed on the fence for a moment, and she was stunned, "Good or bad? right or wrong?

Her eyes were lowered, her heart was mixed, and her mind was shocked!

In the darkness, another whisper came, as if drunken gibberish:

"I'm not strong, so it's right not to help him. ”

"If I go to help him, not only will I not be able to help him, but I will also be affected by you and me, this is wrong!"

"Take it, this is what the sword cultivator Su Ye left... He is good at everything, but he is too attached to good and evil. ”

With a flash in front of his eyes, the old man suddenly threw something over.

It seemed to be a pamphlet, and suddenly it was thrown from the fence at the other end, and the peach coat emblem hurriedly opened it to look at it.

The handwriting is simple and generous, but it is vivid, and it seems to be drawing this picture, the brush outlines, the sharp pen is powerful, and it is lifelike.

There are steep mountains and abysses with rich aura, and swordsmen practice to absorb the aura of each mountain, haunt the deep mountains and Daze, and fight to kill demons and demons;

There are also hidden swordsmen who have practiced for thousands of years, flying with the sword, destroying the demons with their own strength, protecting the common people in the world, and the demons are the same as fire and water, and the jade is burned.

The figures in the portraits are lifelike, they either fly with swords, or control magic weapons, or fly to the sky, or go straight to the sky.

There are also people dressed in cloth clothes and carrying wine jugs, hiding in the market, frolicking in the red dust, looking like beggars on the street, until the demons swagger through the market, only to slay the demons with swords.

Without exception, too many of the drawings are depicting the heroic swordsman slaying demons and subduing demons, although the color of the portrait has been washed over the years, it has been a little dim, but the content is still faintly recognizable.

The style of painting is majestic and magnificent, and the chivalrous spirit is soaring, allowing the viewer to fall into the general feeling of personal experience.
