Chapter 15: Killing Ghosts and Lingyuan Pavilion
Li Zhi's six people were all dressed in ordinary clothes on this trip. The sword was also well concealed under the crane.
Except for Li Bai, it was obviously the first time for them to enter a Fengyue place like Ling Yuan Pavilion. Slightly unnatural. Only Li Bai greeted the brokers and prostitutes familiarly. A mouthful of a "brother", a mouthful of a "sister".
Seeing Li Zhi looking around a little nervously, Li Bai naturally leaned over. "Don't be nervous, isn't this kind of place a man's gold cave. Just a few more times. ”
"Don't talk nonsense. Just as Li Zhi was speaking, someone was thrown down from the stairs in a ping-pong manner. A group of bartenders stood on the pole and scolded viciously at the man who fell to the ground and couldn't get up, "You are so poor that you even sold your wife, and you dare to come to Lingyuan Pavilion on credit? next time, it's not just as simple as throwing you downstairs, chop you up and feed you to the dog!" After speaking, he didn't forget to take a sip downstairs.
And the man struggled on the ground for a long time, and then got up from the ground. I didn't go out, just stared upstairs in a daze. A look of lost soul. It's like a walking corpse.
Looking at this scene, a different feeling climbed into Li Zhi's heart. In a place like Ling Yuan Pavilion, a good, living person is turned into a living corpse that only knows how to chase instinctive desires, something without a soul. What's the difference between them and ghosts? Whether it's physical or mental, they're all doing cannibalism. Thinking like this, Li Zhi's unnaturalness just now suddenly disappeared.
Whether it's a ghost or a Ling Yuan Pavilion. All the evil in the world should be cut off.
Li Zhi saw that there were other slashers who followed, but they would not stay. Instead, they would find an excuse to evacuate the crowd and take other unrelated people away from Ling Yuan Pavilion. This is also the reason why Zhang Jiuling only selected six ghost slaying captains, if he takes large-scale actions and is seen to be used by people with intentions, it is easy to fall into the pretext of mutiny. So you have to limit the number of people. And the terrain of Ling Yuan Pavilion itself is not suitable for crowd tactics. As for other matters, Zhang Jiuling has already made arrangements. When the crowd is evacuated, the ghost slayers will block the entire Ling Yuan Pavilion. Not even a fly can fly in, and of course the people inside can't get out. Only wait until the sunrise falls the next day, or the ghost slayer inside releases the signal. The blockade will be lifted.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for the crowd to start clamoring. A few of the thugs watching the scene may be usually arrogant and shouting very loudly. Wait until these thorns are kicked downstairs by the demons one by one. Half-dead look. The crowd has settled down a lot. Many prostitutes scolded and cursed. The old bustard in charge screamed loudly that he wanted to report to General Chen Huaizhi and make the household look good. Because the town security division could not be exposed to the surface, he had to let the household carry the pot this time.
But scolding and scolding, the entire Ling Yuan Pavilion finally slowly quieted down. Now, there are only six people and three ghosts left.
Not to mention that it is impossible for the three ghosts in broad daylight to hide in the crowd and sneak out, the ghost slayers naturally have a way to distinguish whether these are people or ghosts.
What's more, the Zhen'an Division has already figured out the details of the three ghosts.
One is the swordsman in charge of watching the scene, known as "Xue You". This kind of field is mixed, but none of the thorns he handled made it home alive.
The other is a "Hu man" named "Tie Erdan Jin Zhan". He is the cook in the back kitchen who is responsible for making cakes and barbecue, but in his kitchen, half of it is beef and sheep, and half of it is human meat.
The last one is a prostitute. She doesn't have a name, but her clients call her "Xiaoman", and although she can't speak, her business is somehow very good. But only the town is aware that her clients often disappear for no apparent reason.
Where the three ghosts are hiding in this Lingyuan Pavilion, the six of them are already counted. Just wait for two to go their separate ways.
Suddenly, out of nowhere, there was a faint whimpering and crying.
One of the six kings heard the sound and followed the sound to look. I saw that it was a little girl, and I don't know why I was left here.
"It's okay, little sister, I'll send you out. Wang Wendao stretched out his hand and wanted to hug it, but the little girl was obviously frightened, and finally saw someone, so she cried even louder. He also stretched out his hand to hug Wang Wendao. Suddenly, the little girl's nails grew and directly pierced Wang Wendao's neck. Wang Wendao covered his bloody neck, his face full of disbelief. But with the other hand, he pulled out the knife and slashed at the "little girl", leaving only a superficial blood mark on the leg. The "little girl" soared into the air and landed on the railing on the second floor, sticking out her tongue to lick the blood running down her nails. A weird grin of "giggling". Suddenly, he went deep into the second floor. There was no way, Sun Quan, one of the remaining five, had to follow.
The remaining four people decided to separate one person, that is, Wu Wenpei, and send Wang Wendao out to hand over to the ghost slayers who were outside for treatment. Wait until you return to the battlefield. Although Wang Wendao sent it out, there will be no new personnel to add in. First, it's because ordinary ghost slaying faces such a big ghost with more than 1,000 eyes, and they are sent to death in vain when they come in. The second is the huge Chang'an City, not only such a place that needs to be guarded, although the sky is still white now, but the night is coming, there are still dangers lurking everywhere, and mobilizing six cutting-edge forces in one place is the ultimate that the Zhen'an Division can do at the moment.
The original plan was destroyed almost instantaneously. It was almost reduced from six people to three ghosts to three ghosts.
Li Bai still didn't care about anything. "I don't cut women, even female ghosts. "Then Xiaoman will be handed over to you, and I will deal with that Hu man, no, Hu ghost. With that, he went to the back kitchen.
"Leave it to me, swordsman, and I'll solve it quickly and come over to help you. "Ordinary people say things that seem arrogant, but when they come from Chen Ye's mouth, it seems so natural.
"Alright, I don't have anything to choose from. Li Zhi had no choice but to tell himself, carrying a knife and walking to the "Piaoxiang Courtyard" on the third floor.
Before he walked into the back kitchen, Li Bai smelled the aroma of barbecue, and he didn't know what special spices were added. A gluttonous like Li Bai couldn't help but move his appetite when he heard it, and quickly took a sip of wine to quench his hunger.
When I walked in, there was only a burly Hu man left in the back kitchen of Nuoda, where he was busy gnawing and gnawing, and roasted meat on the stone pier.
"Why did you come in, guest officer, the back kitchen is generally not allowed to come in. "But it's okay, how about it, this meat smells." Do you want to have a skewer, my Tie Erdan Jin Zhan's barbecue is also first-class in Chang'an City. ”
Li Bai squatted aside by himself, "Your meat is so fragrant, it shouldn't be human flesh." ”
Tie Erdan Jin Zhan's hand movement obviously paused.
"Human flesh is delicious. I've eaten so much, but I still can't eat enough. Tie Erdan Jin Zhan turned his back to Li Bai.
"I don't care if it's delicious or not, but since you've eaten it. You're going to die here today. I want your head. ”
"I've eaten a lot of ghosts of your age, and your blood stinks. The lowest meat is not even as good as pork..."Viciously chopped meat.
"Is that so. . . Then I'll make your death a little more painful. ”
"Hehehe, I didn't even bring a ghost slashing knife, do you deserve it. ”
A clear dragon groan. Li Bai no longer responded, and his fingers gently swiped over Long Yuan's body. "The dragon comes out of the shallows, and the tiger steps into the abyss" "This dragon abyss is a good sword." ”
"Are you? You're the Immortal?" Tie Erdan Jin Zhan's voice gradually revealed a hint of vigilance.
"What kind of immortal is not immortal, I am an immortal in wine, Li Taibai. "I have a sword in my hand, I have a love for the fish, I have a chivalrous song, sending the world to kill ghosts and righteous people, and no ghost has ever told me to really finish singing." Tie Erdan Jinhan, I wonder if you can let me finish this poem happily?"
Tie Er Dan Jin Zhan stopped talking and put down the work in his hand. He stood up and twisted his neck, gurgling. Stretching his waist, his whole body made a clicking sound of bone and joint movement.
Turning his head is a punch, although he was easily dodged by Li Bai, but this punch is so fast and strong, even if it hits in the empty air, it also makes a "bang" sound.
Before it was over, his fist changed castration in the air and chased Li Bai's figure to attack. As mentioned earlier, the average person completes a move is a breath, no matter how fast the next action is, there is always a process of regaining strength and exerting force, that is, another breath, and the move and move will not be able to do it tightly after all. The captain mentioned earlier, there is still half a breath under one breath, that is, after one move, he makes half a move without cohesion, and all the movements of this move and half a move are connected to form a mellow whole, and there is no pause in the middle, which is amazing enough, beyond the ability of ordinary people.
But Tie Er Dan Jin Zhan, bang Under one move, there are twelve breaths!
Even though Li Baiteng moved, his body was elegant and flexible. But the crane on his body was still pierced.
"I'm not dead. ”
"Hey, hey. Li Bai could still laugh.
"Do you think this is my limit? Lao Tzu can make nineteen breaths in one breath!" Tie'er Dan Jin Zhan's voice was as terrifying as hell.
Chen Ye walked into the courtyard, and Xue You was waiting for him there early with a sword.
"Are you Xue You who wields the sword?" As he spoke, Xue You's right arm detached from his body. Chen Ye slowly withdrew the knife.
"Bastard, I actually met you. Xue You's face was hideous, and then there was a sound of tumbling from his body, "uh" Xue You cried out in a low voice, looking a little painful. Suddenly, the sound stopped, followed by a series of tearing sounds, the sound of musculoskeletal tearing, poof! From Xue You's body, three more hands came out from the left and right. Bloody and drooping with intestinal fluid. Four on the left and three on the right resemble human spiders with a severed limb.
The top two hands reached out to Xue You's back, as if they were solving something. Then he reached back to the front, holding three swords in each hand, and handed them down to the hands below. So, except for the left hand at the bottom, each of the six hands held a sword in each hand.
"I'm going to chop off all your fingers one by one!" Xue You almost roared.
Chen Ye still looked calm, just a breath of time, he was no longer in place, and rushed towards Xue You.
Li Zhi's third floor is peaceful, with an arrogant and lascivious setting, a gentle and intoxicating aroma pouring into the nasal cavity, and a scene of warm nephrite vividly emerging in people's minds. You can even hear the beautiful sound of the musicians playing.
Before I knew it, I was at the end of the third floor. The room of the famous prostitute "Xiaoman".
The door was broken, and something flew out. Li Zhi hurriedly raised the knife and slashed it only to find that something was wrong, and when he looked closely, it was actually a zombie with blood sucked dry. "Giggles" a woman's delicate laughter came from the room.
Li Zhi cautiously moved in, and the moment he just stepped into the room, it seemed that a gust of wind was blowing, and there was a sweet smell in the wind. But the wind was so fast and slight that Li Zhi wondered if it was his delusion.
Looking up again, a naked woman was half-lying on a large bed covered in silk and satin. And giggled.
"Lang Jun is here?" a soft and gentle voice.
"Aren't you unable to speak?" Li Zhi was even more vigilant.
"Little lady, I can't speak, but this is in Lang Jun's dream. ”
"How is it possible in a dream?"
"Didn't Lang Jun smell Xiaoman's blood flowers when he tried his best just now?"
"That gust of wind, that smell?"
"That's the smell of Xiaoman's blood, Xiaoman gave it a name called Blood Flower Fragrance, and when you smell it, you can dream with others. "Lang Jun, don't be nervous, Xiaoman has no force, he can only suck people's blood. Let's see if Lang Jun gets out of the dream first, or Xiao Man sucks Lang Jun's blood dry first. Giggles"
"Damn!" Tie Er Dan Jin Yan angrily smashed a stone furnace on the side. He had nineteen breaths under one move, but he didn't expect that he still didn't punch Li Bai. This kid swims like a fish, and he can't slip his hands. The pace is very strange, and it can hit his robe at first. Now I can't even touch the edge.
"It's my turn to fight back, right?" Li Bai turned his head and asked Tie'er Dan Jin Zhan behind him.
"Zhao Keman Hu Ying", Tie Erdan Jin Zhan's left hand was cut.
"Wu Hook Frost Xueming", I felt that my left foot sank. Tie Erdan Jin Zhan looked down and saw that his left knee had been slit.
"The silver saddle shines on the white horse", leaving a long cut in the abdomen.
"Sassy like a meteor", if it weren't for Tie Erdan Jin Zhan turning his head in time, he would have almost been cut off half of his head.
Li Bai's footwork was too flexible, and his sword was too fast, and Long Yuan's sharpness had left a prestige for its former master since the pre-Qin period.
Tie'er Dan Jin Zhan saw Li Bai coming with a song, as if it was the footsteps of Yan Luo to collect his soul.
"Ten steps to kill one person", a sword picked open the arms in front of Tie'er Dan Jin Zhan's body. The middle door is wide open!
"Don't stay for a thousand miles!" Li Bai dodged, and Tie'er Danjin covered his neck that was bubbling out with blood. Faltering.
However, Tie'er Dan Jin Zhan did not fall down in the end, and when Li Bai looked back, he was greeted by a punch from Shengfeng, which flew out more than a foot away, and almost smashed half of his shoulder blades.
"You idiot... Do you think you can kill me like this?" this is the sound of blood foaming in the throat, as eerie as a ghost in hell, "The more blood is shed, the stronger Lao Tzu will be!" As he spoke, he reached out to the stone furnace that had just been smashed, took out a corpse from it, and gnawed off half of his head in one bite. As if he didn't think this speed was fast enough, Tie'er Dan Jinhan opened his mouth almost the size of a water tank, and the skin on his face was stretched to transparent, and he directly put the whole corpse into his mouth. "Click, click, click" The sound of bones being bitten.
"I want as many corpses as I want, but I haven't eaten anyone with the heart of slaying ghosts!Boy, let me die obediently!"
"In addition to talking a lot, do you have anything else powerful?" Li Bai also jumped up.
The fist and sword intersected in the air, and sparks flew everywhere.
"Die, die, die!" Tie'er Dan Jin roared, punching continuously.
Tie Erdan Jin Zhan said that his limit was nineteen breaths, and he did not lie. It is exaggerated, but if it is only like this, it cannot pose a danger to Li Bai.
But gradually, Li Bai felt that something was wrong. Some of the punches began to deflect the blades of their swings, and a few of them almost landed on them.
It's because the punches are faster, and the interval between punches is still disappearing!
"Ahh
"Didn't I say it a long time ago, idiot! The more blood flows, the stronger Lao Tzu becomes!" Tie'er Dan Jin Zhan's fist speed has obviously increased by one notch!
"Ding Ding Ding" Li Bai's sword also slowly changed from fist to sword at the beginning to passive defense later. There are more and more injuries on his body.
"Twenty breaths!" bang, Li Bai was punched firmly.
"Twenty-one breaths!"
"Twenty-two breaths!"
"Huh?" Tie Er Dan Jin Zhan felt that Li Bai's sword had also accelerated!
"Brush off your clothes and go to hide your body and name deeply. "A string of Mars, evenly matched.
"Idle over the letter tomb drink, take off the sword and kneel forward. Poof, a wound appeared on Tie'er Dan Jinhan's body.
"Hahahaha, do you think that's the limit?" "Twenty-three breaths! Twenty-four... Twenty-five..."Tie'er Dan Jin Zhan didn't care at all, and the blood lines on his arm were bursting because of the excessive force.
"Will scorch Zhu Hai..." Li Bai's voice was completely suppressed, drowning in the screaming fist wind.
"Cough" Li Bai spit out a mouthful of blood, and he actually laughed at this time.
"Your poems are garbage, just like you slaying ghosts. Tie Erdan Jin Zhan was condescending, and his eyes were full of disdain when he looked at Li Bai.
"What did you say?" Li Bai raised his head and stared at Tie Er Dan Jin Zhan, this was the first time he had shown such a fierce look.
"I said your poems are garbage, you're garbage. Tie'er Dan Jin Zhan leaned down, trying his best to mock.
In response to it was a sword light.
"Don't you give up yet?" this time, Tie Er Dan Jin Zhan raised it to thirty breaths in one breath.
"Hold on to persuade Hou Ying". It can be blocked.
"Thirty-one breaths!" The rumbling sound made a huge resistance in the air just by swinging the fist.
"Thirty-two!"
"Three cups of Turan..."Tie Erdan Jin Zhan was confident that Li Bai would be defeated in front of his constantly improving limit as before. "No!" Li Bai actually held on.
"Isn't that enough? Come on, Lao Tzu has no limits. ”
"Thirty-three!" "The five mountains are light. Li Bai's sword actually followed.
"Thirty-four!" "After the eyes are hot. ”
"Thirty-five!" ”
"Thirty-six!" This time it was Tie'er Dan Jin Zhan's turn to be surprised, the same was to speed up, Li Bai was obviously faster. If he continues to rise like this, if he doesn't eat, maybe the blood in his body will run out, right? Before he goes to light, what is his limit? Fifty breaths? Or forty-five breaths? Forty-three breaths should be enough! He won't die. He can't be above forty-three breaths....
When faith is shaken......
"Thirty-seven breaths!" Tie'er Dan Jin Zhan is still steadily improving.
"Save Zhao with a golden hammer. "Huh, how did you get up so fast?
Handan was shocked. "XXXVIII . Oops can't keep up
"Two strong men of the Thousand Autumns. "Is this kind of ascension something that a human being can do? Can his body stand it?
"Xuanhe Daliang City. Tie Erdan Jin Zhan had no time to think about anything, so he could only rely on instinctive fist swings to brace hard.
"The bones of the arson. The body was still making automatic fist movements, but the eyes saw blood flowers rising, and a strong arm flew out. That's my left arm.
"Don't be ashamed of the world. A large cloud of blood mist erupted in his chest, blurring his vision.
"Who can write Your Excellency. "It's over, I'm going to die.
"The white head is too mysterious. Tie Erdan Jinhan, when he saw the last scene, it was his headless body, slowly falling.
If the sword competition is won by quantity, then Xue You's attainments in kendo can be called invincible. In fact, it practiced a faction of swordsmanship in each hand, and all of its shots were at the level of a grandmaster.
When the world-famous sword school, the long-lost swordsmanship was resurrected in its hands. It even covers one or two swordsmanship techniques that the Zhen'an Division arranged for the pre-practitioners to learn. You must know that the kendo teachers invited by the Zhen'an Division to teach the swordsmanship of the pre-masters are all grandmasters of the same faction, but even the swordsmanship under them is not as exquisite as Xue Youlai.
It's not too much to call it a sword idiot.
"How is it? How about my move?" Xue You's move to the Qingyun faction's "swallow homing" has indeed reached the realm of mellow and flawless.
"Not bad. Even Chen Ye nodded heartily.
"That's right, over the years, I've learned all over the world's sword sects. Collected countless ancient books of swordsmanship. Only then did they select the eight schools with the most exquisite swordsmanship and the most incomprehensible moves. "Day and night, I don't know how long I've been practicing. "Look at my moves, is every sword flawless. "One of the tricks in the Luo Killing Sword is "insects don't fly", in the range of the sword light, even the tiniest mosquitoes can't fly out, which can be called a net of heaven and earth.
"Look at this sword in the sky and water, is there a sword move in the world that is more continuous than this?" This move is a sword in the water and sky, and it does have the spirit of the coming tide and the abundance of sword moves, but I am afraid that it is unparalleled in the world.
"But why, I still can't defeat you. Listening to the voice, Xue You almost broke his teeth, and two lines of blood and tears flowed from his eyes, which could be called crying blood.
Now Xue You only has two hands left and right. "I'm not convinced!" Xue You roared at the sky.
This time, he simply used all four hands, each using a swordsmanship.
For a while, the room was filled with swords and swords.
And Chen Ye simply avoided it, and swung a knife straight, and this knife happened to perfectly avoid the trajectory of all sword moves, slashing from Xue You's shoulder and slashing Xue You's heart. Each of Xue You's swords was on Chen Ye's vital point, but he couldn't go any further.
"Why?" Xue You lowered his head, his voice extremely weak.
"I don't know, maybe you're just thinking about how to make your sword moves perfect, but you've forgotten how to practice every basic sword swing. Chen Ye also replied seriously.
Xue You slowly closed his eyes, and suddenly memories of a long, long time ago appeared in front of him. It's been so many years, and I haven't thought about these things for years. It's like a memory of when I was a human being.
At that time, I didn't know so many kinds of swordsmanship, and I didn't know so many exquisite sword moves. It's just that I simply wielded the sword casually, and the way of the sword at that time, such a simple sword, how happy it was.
"Lang Jun, you've killed Xiaoman a thousand times. If you don't go out, the blood will be sucked dry by Xiaoman. ”
That's right, in this dream, Li Zhi killed the "little man" in front of him almost a thousand times. This time he still didn't hesitate to swing his knife. When the head of the "little barbarian" in front of him fell, the world in which he was in turned for a while, and there was a feeling that the people under the water were about to break free from the water. But for a moment, when everything was back to the way it was.
A new "Xiaoman" appeared in front of him with a clever smile. This "little man" is clearly not lying. Although in the dream, Li Zhi can also clearly feel the loss of body heat, which is the real physical situation projected into the dream. It was as if there was a force pulling him, and his body became light, as if he could break free from this dream with a single effort. Looking at this situation, I will soon be able to automatically get out of this dream. But at that time, I am afraid that it is also time for my own blood to be sucked dry and die.
Li Zhi looked at the "little man" in front of him again, it was obviously a mark left by the deity in his dream. Every word it says can be a distraction to Li Zhi. It could even be a form of surveillance.
"Why don't Lang Jun try and kill himself in his dream? Maybe he can get out by killing himself. Xiao Man smiled charmingly, but it was also unspeakably evil.
Holding the knife, Li Zhi pondered for a long time. Then, without hesitation, he pointed a knife at his neck and wiped it down.
Li Zhi returned to this dream again. Killing oneself is the same as killing this little man, it is a feeling that people want to struggle out of the water after chaos, but at the most critical moment, it always seems that something is missing.
Li Zhi dared to cut down on his neck, of course, he didn't believe Xiaoman's nonsense, and he didn't just gamble on luck. Instead, combined with the tearing effect of his body towards death in reality, Li Zhi decided to kill himself in the dream and give it a try.
Xiao Man looked at the ghost slayer in front of him playfully. It's so funny that these people who have killed ghosts all their lives commit suicide in front of themselves. It's so deplorable to look helpless. When will this man break down?
The man was muttering, "If killing one isn't enough, let's kill two." Then he looked up and saw Xiao Man with a surprised face.
"Am I right?" "It's always a little bit close to breaking through, and if something isn't enough, just push it with a little more force, right?" ”
"Tian Qiuyue!" This round of flawless moon, Xiaoman's head flew in the air. When the moon was about to end, Li Zhi's wrist drove the handle of the knife to rotate for a whole circle, and almost the entire wrist was scrapped. But the second round of bright moon bloomed. "Erlunyue!" Li Zhi's own head fell.
Li Zhi is back again, this new little brute gritted his teeth, but he still looked proud, "What if you know the method, as long as you can't kill you and me at the same time, you don't want to go out!"
"You're smart, but no one has been able to get out successfully since I learned this trick. You're just here to die. Hum. ”
Li Zhi lowered his head and looked at his wrist that had recovered as before, "If you use it for two rounds of months, there is only one way." ”
Li Zhi pulled out the knife, held the blade behind his back with his backhand, and pierced his chest inch by inch, allowing the knife to pass through his heart. "It's only me, let the knife go through the heart and you won't die immediately. Then he stepped forward slowly, and in Xiao Man's shocked eyes, he let the blade that penetrated his chest pierce Xiao Man's heart in a hug way.
A person and a ghost seem to be embracing each other. And the moment before closing his eyes, Xiao Man in this dream gently hugged Li Zhi with his hand. Let your head be leaned over. In an instant, there was such a line of tears that slipped imperceptibly. It's so lonely, and there's been no one for a long time, so I've hugged myself like this.
Hugged, a man and a ghost died.
When Li Zhi woke up, Xiao Man had already stopped absorbing his blood. This female ghost who can't speak in reality seems to be no different from a human being. She just stared at Li Zhi, as if there were many things hidden in her bright eyes. After hesitating for a moment, Li Zhi still swung the knife, and when the knife light fell, he saw Xiaoman's mouth seem to move.
As if to say, thank you.
