Volume 1 Taking the Sword Chapter 13 Butterfly Valley
The name of this valley is Butterfly Valley, which is the remnant of Songshan Mountain, and it is said that during the day, thousands of colorful butterflies dance in the valley, which is very spectacular.
But now there is no one, I guess I went to sleep at night.
It seems that Su Huangying is very familiar with this place, and led Cao Cao and the three of them to turn left and right in the valley. And the long sword was still stuck in his chest, and the blood continued to flow down the sword, and there were too many people chasing behind him, and he couldn't stop to heal his wounds, and as he lost too much blood, his physical strength became less and less.
But the martial arts warriors behind chased after them, and there were twenty or thirty people who followed. At this time, Su Huangying was no longer able to fight the enemy, he was seriously injured, and he might not be able to support it at any time, although Cao Cao and the three of them tried their best to cover, they couldn't stop it, after all, the other party was overwhelming.
When escaping to a big tree, Su Huangying was exhausted and sat under the tree gasping for breath. Cao Cao and the others simply stopped, and protected Su Huangying with their swords.
This big tree has been some years old, the trunk is so thick that two or three people probably can't hug it, and the canopy is so slim that it covers the whole road. The moonlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, turning into sparse light that hits the ground.
The chasing martial arts warriors also took a breath, and Liu Changfeng, who was the leader, gritted his teeth and said, "The surname is Su, this is the place where you are buried." Behold that I have killed you with my own hands to avenge my brother. “
"Avenge your brother?haha, then who should I find to avenge Brother Peng's revenge?" Su Huangying couldn't stop coughing after saying a few words, and a lot of blood came out of his mouth.
"Gang Leader Su, don't talk anymore, keep this true breath, and when the juniors kill this gang of thieves, immediately find a famous doctor to treat the gang leader. ”
"Three young heroes, thank you. Let's meet in Pingshui, and I'm grateful to be able to send Su here, but, just... His wheezing became more and more intense.
"Where did you come from, you dare to take care of your uncle's good deeds, and you dare to say big things when you die, hmph, if you kill this surnamed Su for me, uncle, I can raise my noble hand and make the three of you die happily." Liu Changfeng said hatefully.
"The people of the world are in charge of the world's affairs, the 'good deeds' you have done, Cao Mou has seen them all, what a bullshit hero, it is simply an insult to the word 'hero'. ”
"Liu Shaoxia, why bother talking nonsense with this kid, just cut them all down, so that you can explain to 'Hongmen'. The group was a little impatient.
More than a dozen of their companions have died along the way, and now there are still twenty or thirty people left, seeing that Cao Cao and the others have almost reached the end of the crossbow, they can't wait to chop them into meat sauce immediately to avenge the dead relatives and friends.
Just as Liu Changfeng and the others were about to rush up, a person suddenly flashed out from behind the big tree, and the shadow saw him dressed in a green robe, putting a bamboo flute to his mouth in his hand, and immediately came a strange flute sound, how ugly and ugly this flute sound, how harsh and harsh it was.
What kind of 'music' is this? It's just deadly.
With the sound of this flute, many green snakes suddenly appeared on the ground, "Zizi" spit out the letter, and pounced on Liu Changfeng and the others.
The martial arts warriors in the back hadn't figured out what was going on, but they saw Liu Changfeng and the other seven or eight people in front of them foaming at the mouth, rolling all over the ground, obviously because they had been poisoned by the snake and couldn't survive.
At the same time, everyone saw the true face of this man, under the sparse moonlight, the strange man was covered with knife wounds, which was terrifying, how scary it was.
The rest of the martial arts warriors were suddenly frightened, hula, all turned around and ran, Liu Changfeng and the others struggled for a while and did not move.
The strange man blew his flute again, and the green snakes disappeared almost instantly.
This person came to Su Huangying and said softly: "Hey, everyone in the world sees colorful butterflies, but they can't see the snakes and scorpions hidden behind the beauty. The voice was hoarse and low, not much stronger than the sound of the flute.
Su Huangying groped in his arms for a long time, and took out a cloth towel, which was wrapped in something, but this cloth towel had been broken in half, it should be Liu Changfeng's long sword before stabbing into Su Huangying's chest, and the cloth towel had been cut off first.
He trembled and raised the cloth towel, "Engong, my brother didn't break his promise, this thousand-year-old Lingzhi has finally been brought, Engong quickly take it to save people." “
"Brother Su, you are the one who needs to be healed the most now, with this thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, it may be too late for my brother to heal you immediately. ”
"No need, if it weren't for the thousand-year-old Lingzhi blocking it for me, I was afraid that I would have died on the spot, and it can be said that it had already saved me once. ”
"If you are not healed, you will surely die. ”
"If it weren't for Brother Xiang, I would have died a long time ago, and it would have been worth living for ten more years. The two little brothers in the secret room were tasked with the Five Elements Sword, and it was even more meaningful for Engong to use this thousand-year-old Lingzhi to heal them. ”
"Five Elements Sword?" Cao Cao and the three of them couldn't help blurting out when they heard these three words.
Cao Cao's help to Su Huangying today was out of chivalry, and he didn't expect it to have anything to do with the Five Elements Sword, but suddenly these words came out of his mouth, which made him very strange.
Listening to Su Huangying's words, he traveled thousands of miles to find the thousand-year-old Lingzhi in order to save the lives of two people, and these two people are currently in the secret room called 'Brother Xiang'.
More importantly, the two 'little brothers' in Su Huangying's mouth who were in urgent need of treatment seemed to have a relationship with the Five Elements Sword, could they know the secret of the Five Elements Sword? Cao Cao thought secretly in his heart, full of doubts.
However, Cao Cao's abnormality aroused the vigilance of the strange man, he looked at Cao Cao coldly, and asked in a calm tone: "Oh? This young man also knows the Five Elements Sword?"
Cao Cao smiled bitterly: "If it weren't for the Five Elements Sword, the younger generation would not have fallen into such a situation." ”
"Oh?" Brother Xiang's face was full of questions, which also made the scars on his face 'move' incessantly, and it looked even more terrifying in the moonlight.
His gaze was like a torch, as if he wanted to see through Cao Cao directly and get the answer.
"Qi seniors, juniors never thought that the Five Elements Sword had anything to do with them before, and they didn't expect that they would end up ruined and ruined because of it. Cao Cao was a little sad, and the scenes of the past few days flashed in his mind.
Then, Cao Cao briefly recounted his experience in these days.
"Cao Cao, are you Cao Cao?" a look of surprise flashed on the strange man's face, and he subconsciously took a step closer, staring at Cao Cao intently, carefully capturing the details of Cao Cao's expression.
"You are Cao Cao, who was arrested by the 'imperial court' not long ago for assassinating the emperor?"
The strange man then asked again.
Cao Cao also noticed the change in the strange man's demeanor, and he didn't know why he was so out of shape when he heard his name, but since he was Su Huangying's friend, he shouldn't be a villain, so he answered honestly.
"Exactly, but the younger generation still doesn't understand, the younger generation is obviously a rescuer, but it turned into an assassination, and it ended up in today's situation. ”
Su Huangying also noticed the change in Brother Xiang's demeanor, and couldn't help blurting out, "What's the matter, Engong? Could it be that Cao Shaoxia is also related to the Five Elements Sword?"
"Exactly, exactly," Brother Xiang put one hand on Su Huangying's shoulder, and said in surprise: "This is really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it, hehe." ”
Brother Xiang looked up to the sky and roared, but in this way, the scars on his face were even more hideous and terrifying, and he then told Su Huangying: "Providence, it is really providence." Brother Su, do you know that this Cao Shaoxia who saved you is the descendant of the 'Qinghong Sword'. “
"Good, good, Engong's wish for many years seems to be about to come true. Only then did Su Huangying understand, her joy was beyond words, her eyes looked at Brother Xiang, and tears couldn't help but burst out of her eyes.
It's just that he was so excited that he touched the wound, and he spit out two mouthfuls of blood, and his strength disappeared, and he only poured out one breath after another.
"Seniors know the 'Qinghong Sword'?" Cao Cao asked Brother Xiang rhetorically.
"Of course I know, of course I know, if it weren't for the Five Elements Sword, how could I become like this?! ”
Brother Xiang's face was happy for a while, and worried for a while, obviously stuck in the past.
Since she met Engong, Su Huangying had never seen him with such an expression. For such a long time, the eldest brother Xiang he saw was a person with a cold face and a hot heart. The only time I saw Brother Xiang look like this was when the two injured young men in the secret room appeared. The appearance of Cao Cao this time has obviously brought a greater impact to Brother Xiang than last time.
Obviously, Cao Cao's appearance, especially Cao Cao's identity, reminded Brother Xiang's own past, and it can be seen that the hideous-faced strange man in front of him has experienced a very miserable and terrible story, and he has fallen into this way now, listening to what he said, it is all related to the Five Elements Sword, and it seems that this Brother Xiang and the Five Elements Sword are also very related.
Cao Cao was also full of doubts in his heart, but he didn't ask anything, let alone know where to start. He just vaguely felt that when he came to this butterfly valley by accident this time and met this big brother Xiang, he would definitely get something that he had been thinking hard about.
Slowly, Brother Xiang regained his composure, a smile appeared on his face again, and he said categorically: "Brother Su, you and Brother Peng will not sacrifice in vain, the will of heaven is clear, Cao Shaoxia actually came to the Butterfly Valley, it seems that it is not too late for the Five Elements Sword to see the light of day." ”
"Oh, good, good. Su Huangying struggled to say these two words, and a smile appeared on her face, and she no longer had the strength to speak.
Brother Xiang looked at Cao Cao and the three of them again, and said lightly.
"Shaoxia must be full of curiosity in his heart, okay, then please come in. ”
Brother Xiang turned around to lead the way, and Cao Cao and the three of them helped Su Huangying to follow behind.
Walking behind the tree, I walked through a dark tunnel, and when the light appeared, I found that I had come to a natural cave. Being able to shine into the moonlight shows that the cave is connected to the outside, and you can even hear the sound of water running not far away.
What kind of place is this? When Cao Cao's eyes adjusted to the brightness of the cave, he found that there were two people lying side by side on the stone bed not far in front of him.
To be exact, it was just two humanoids, because they were full of butterflies, and I don't know how many, flying and falling on the two of them densely, as if they were sucking nectar.
Cao Cao remembered playing with his friends on the grass as a child, and the wild slopes were full of unknown grasses and blooming flowers, and countless bees and butterflies fluttered and shuttled among the flowers to collect nectar.
This place is called Butterfly Valley, and it is not surprising that Cao Cao and others can see so many butterflies, even if there are more butterflies than this, it is normal.
But the strange thing is that butterflies are not supposed to shuttle between the flowers, and why do these dense butterflies in front of us all run to the human body to suck them?
Cao Cao's eyes were dazzled for a while, and they were puzzled in their hearts.
