Text Chapter 2 Extinguishing the Mouth
Although Li Yuansheng is not a monk, he has also learned boxing and kicking for many years, he is agile, sideways to avoid the arrows, and without waiting for Jiang Xiaobai to draw the bow again, he jumped over with a few jumps. The other two also rushed over, and the three of them surrounded Jiang Xiaobai in a zigzag shape.
Jiang Xiaobai knew that the bow and arrow were not suitable for close combat, so he decisively abandoned the bow as soon as the arrow missed, and with a toe pick, the saber on the ground was held in his hand. This sword is called the Sulan Sword, which was given to the ancestors of the Jiang family by the emperor, and it can be regarded as the treasure of the Jiang family. Although Jiang Xiaobai has been poor and has a lot of foreign debts over the years, he is not willing to sell him, otherwise he would not dare to die, and the ancestors and ancestors underground will definitely kill him again!
Li Yuansheng sneered and said, "Little Hou Ye, you really think of yourself as a monkey? What are you playing tricks on? Now put down the sword, uncle, I am happy to reward you with a whole corpse, otherwise you will be torn to pieces!"
One of the people on the side chimed in: "Chop him directly into meat sauce, and save us from digging a pit to bury him." β
Jiang Xiaobai didn't answer them, his face was expressionless, he secretly grabbed the hilt of the sword and released it, and then clenched it tightly, so several times, and only after the consciousness was controlled safely, he put his mind at ease. After all, his consciousness has been out of the body for more than 20 years, and it is inevitable that he will have to run in secret, and if he doesn't listen to the call at that time, it will be troublesome. He muttered in his mouth: "Patriarch Bodhidharma, I hope you don't lie to me!"
Before the words fell, the sword was unsheathed and stabbed straight into Li Yuansheng's face. This sword style is the first style in the "Dharma Sword Technique", "Open the door to welcome guests". Although Shaolin Temple has seventy-two stunts, but there are very few swords, and only one set of swordsmanship is left, which is "Dharma Sword Method". Because there is only one set, it is usually favored, and it is practiced by Jiang Xiaobai.
Li Yuansheng didn't expect him to dare to take the initiative, but seeing that his swordsmanship was sparse and simple, he couldn't help but sneer and said, "Don't measure yourself!" waved his hand and prepared to pick his sword away.
Jiang Xiaobai's style of "opening the door to welcome guests" seems simple, just like its name, as if it is just a polite temptation, but in fact, it changes in triplicate, hiding a murderous intention. Before Li Yuansheng's sword touched his sword, the blade had changed, and it stabbed at his lower yin again.
Li Yuansheng was startled, he was stabbed at a loss, and hurriedly turned sideways to avoid it, but Jiang Xiaobai's sword edge changed again, and he slashed horizontally along the sword momentum. Li Yuansheng was so frightened that his soul flew away, he screamed, and jumped backwards with all his strength, but after all, he was still a little bit late, and his belly slashed against the blade of the sword, and a wound several inches long appeared.
Seeing Li Yuansheng's embarrassed appearance, anyone thought that Jiang Xiaobai would definitely take advantage of the victory to chase after him, and make up for it with a backhand. Who knew that Jiang Xiaobai's sword momentum did not stop, but he stabbed at the person on the side.
That person originally saw Jiang Xiaobai sneak attack on Li Yuansheng, and just stepped forward to prepare for the rescue, but he didn't know that Jiang Xiaobai's drunken intention was not to drink, and the fight in front was hot, but it was to distract him, and he was caught off guard and was blocked by a sword.
The sword left his throat, the man fell to the ground, the wind whimpered, and only the man was left in fear.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Yuansheng hurriedly inspected the wound, and saw that although the clothes had been stained red with blood, it was only a skin wound, which was not fatal, and he was slightly relieved in his heart, but he was still annoyed and angry, and shouted: "I will break your body to pieces!"
For Jiang Xiaobai, these two swords have several ways to crack them, but after all, the physical qualifications are limited, and they are not so fast. As soon as his thoughts moved, his face was full of horror, and he stared behind them and shouted, "Hell!"
These two people are just two gangsters, and they usually bully and bully honest people, how can they have the experience of facing the enemy? As soon as they heard that there were ghosts, they repaid it? Out of instinct, they quickly turned their heads to look as if their heads were out of control, as if they were turning around themselves, and they did not delay at all.
They just lack experience, but they are not fools, the moment their heads turned, they knew that they had been fooled, and their intestines were repentant, but it was too late, even if they had regret medicine on their bodies, they didn't have time to take it, and they turned over with two heads, but only one turned back, and one of them had been pierced through the heart by a sword.
Li Yuan lived, and Jiang Xiaobai didn't have time to stab the second sword.
Li Yuansheng, who was lucky to survive, was not moved in his heart, feeling that he was about to die, he was about to be angry to death, and he was deceived like a fool, and he deceived people too much.
Jiang Xiaobai now only had two injured opponents left, the pressure suddenly decreased, and said lightly: "You are not the mastermind, apologize to me, pay me ten taels of gold, and I will spare you from death." β
Li Yuansheng's eyes were about to split, and he roared, "Dream! If I don't break your body to pieces today, I swear that I will not be a human being!"
Jiang Xiaobai was also a little angry, damn too stingy, ten taels of gold buy you a life, the price is fair, Tong Su is not bullied, and he didn't kill you, he was reluctant to come out, the clay man still has three points of fire, really I can't be bullied? Since you swear not to be a person, Ben Hou will fulfill you. However, although Li Yuansheng was injured, his body was strong and powerful, and as soon as the sword touched, he was shocked and numb, and he almost escaped.
Jiang Xiaobai didn't dare to be careless anymore, and was busy performing the second style of "Dharma Sword Technique" "borrowing flowers to offer Buddha". This trick has the effect of overcoming rigidity with softness, and it is rumored that Tai Chi swordsmanship evolved from it. Although Li Yuansheng's strength is heavy, Jiang Xiaobai does not take it hard, and as soon as the blade of the sword touches, he uses his strength to lead the force to other places and dissolve it invisibly.
After all, Li Yuansheng has not systematically studied swordsmanship, a few moves have passed, and there are many flaws, Jiang Xiaobai made a move to "take the son from the tiger's den", and a sword pierced his heart, and he took his life.
The night suddenly became so quiet that it seemed that only the sound of blood remained.
The bonfire not far away was still burning, making a crackling sound, Jiang Xiaobai raised his sword and looked around, looked at several corpses on the ground, had mixed feelings in his heart, and sighed: "Be a good person in the next life!"
"Little Hou Ye spares his lifeβ"
A desolate cry was particularly piercing in the darkness of the night.
Jiang Xiaobai turned his head to look, and it turned out that there was a fish that had slipped through the net, that is, the person who was shot in the thigh by him at the beginning, named Xu Lai, was kneeling on the edge of the pit and begging for mercy at this time.
Jiang Xiaobai walked over slowly, looked down at him, and said, "Want to live?"
Xu Lai bowed again and said, "The little one has an old mother who has not yet fulfilled her filial piety, so of course she wants to live." β
Jiang Xiaobai said: "When you were alive, you didn't see you fulfill your filial piety?"
Xu Lai said: "I used to be young and ignorant!"
Jiang Xiaobai smiled and said, "Grew up overnight? Do you know that you need conditions to live." β
Xu Lai hurriedly said: "I know, I am not the mastermind, I apologize to you, and I will pay you ten taels of gold, and I can spare me from dying!"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Everyone died, but you survived, it's not without reason, you are very smart!"
Xu Lai shook his head and said, "I'm not smart, I'm just meeting the wind and rudder!"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Since I met the wind and the rudder, then I have something to ask you." β
Xu Lai said: "Knowing everything, saying everything." β
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Who asked you to kill me?"
Xu Lai really met the wind rudder, did not hesitate at all, and replied very simply: "It's Young Master Qin!"
Young Master Qin is Qin Shangtian, the son of the Pavilion Chief of the West Pavilion of Qingliang City, that is, Qin Yulian's elder brother.
Jiang Xiaobai snorted coldly and said, "I have no grudge against him, but I owe him a little money, why do you want to kill me?"
Xu Lai said: "He wants to get your feudal seal and Danshu iron coupons!"
Danshu iron coupon, also known as Danshu iron deed, is a certificate given to meritorious heroes when the emperor was knighted, just like a contract, but what it looks like, even Jiang Xiaobai has not seen it.
Jiang Xiaobai sneered and said, "The position of the marquis of my Jiang family is the imperial seal of the first emperor, and it has been passed down from generation to generation, even if he gets the hanging seal and the iron coupon of the Danshu, can he be crowned a marquis?
Xu Lai said: "Then I don't know!"
Jiang Xiaobai said: "Since you are here to hang the seal and the Danshu iron coupon, but I don't have these two things on me, why do you want to kill me?
Xu Lai said: "Young Master Qin said, if you don't have it on you, it is estimated that it is also hidden in the Hou Mansion, if you die, you owe him the most money, and then the Hou Mansion will be his, and he will dig three feet into the ground to find things." If you don't die, he will never be able to enter the Hou Mansion. β
Jiang Xiaobai sneered again and again, nodded and said, "Sure enough, the mechanism is exhausted!"
Xu Lai also nodded and said, "Well, this person is too bad." β
Jiang Xiaobai said: "You are not a good thing. Get out!"
Xu Lai hurriedly kowtowed and said, "Thank you for the grace of the little Hou Ye not to kill, I will definitely send ten taels of gold to the Hou Mansion tomorrow!"
Jiang Xiaobai nodded, did not speak, turned around and prepared to leave.
Xu Lai's eyes suddenly showed a fierce light, took out a dagger from his arms, ignored the pain in his leg, tried his best, pounced on Jiang Xiaobai like an arrow off the string, and plunged the dagger into his back.
He has been playing with Jiang Xiaobai since he was a child, so Jiang Xiaobai has a few catties and a few taels, he knows best, but he is just a powerless little marquis, if it weren't for the false name of the little marquis, he would have been killed by him. He still thinks that Jiang Xiaobai killed several of his brothers, but it was just opportunistic. It's just that he is different from Li Yuansheng, Li Yuansheng is too reckless, knowing that he is seriously injured, and he still has to risk his life, unlike him, who can bend and stretch, have courage and strategy, know that he is injured, and cannot act rashly, so he kneels on the ground and begs for mercy, and even betrays his master, so as to paralyze him and slowly look for opportunities.
Sure enough, as he expected, this little marquis is a wimp by nature, simple-minded, so easy to be fooled, if he doesn't make a move at this time, when will he stay?
Seeing that it was about to be completed, he didn't expect that the little marquis had eyes behind him, and the dagger had not touched his clothes, the little marquis turned around suddenly, used a Shaolin small grappler, grabbed his wrist, and took a belt forward, he knelt on the ground, and the little marquis took advantage of the situation and stepped on the arrow on his leg, and even the arrow feathers fell into the flesh, so painful that he shouted, tears fell, and begged for mercy: "Little Hou Ye spare his life!
Jiang Xiaobai looked at him coldly and said, "Heaven is forgivable, but you can't live!"
Xu Lai hurriedly said: "Excuse, this is an excuse, you didn't plan to let me go from the beginning." β
Jiang Xiaobai snorted coldly and said, "For the sake of acquaintance, let you die and understand." I don't want to kill anyone, or I won't give you a chance to kill me. I hope you can stop at the last moment, but you don't cherish it. Survival is human instinct, no one wants to put their lives in the hands of others unless absolutely necessary, although you are seriously injured in the leg, but you do not try to escape at all, but stay and use your life to make a deal with me, indicating that you must have a plan. You think you know me, but you forget that I know you too. You are a gambler, I used to be a gambler, I know the psychology of gamblers better than you, but in this game, you lost the bet. β
Jiang Xiaobai is right, Xu Lai is indeed gambling, he has lost a lot of money during this time, and his debts are high, if Qin Shangtian hadn't promised to help him pay off his gambling debts and give him a huge reward, he wouldn't dare to rashly kill the marquis of the imperial seal. So when he saw that the boiled duck was about to fly, where could he be willing? He decided to take a gamble, but he had bad luck in his gambling recently, and he still lost the bet.
But he was even more reluctant to be killed, and cried: "Little Marquis, I am just a ghost for a while, please give me another chance! I will definitely be a good man in the future, and I will repay you by being a cow and a horse." As long as the little marquis needs it, even if I am allowed to go up the knife mountain and go down to the oil pot, I will not die well if I frown. β
Jiang Xiaobai said expressionlessly: "I don't want to kill, it doesn't mean that I won't kill." You are hopeless, and living is just a waste of food and papyrus. Since you want to make me a cow and a horse, well, I promise you, I will wait for you in the next life. Before he could resist, a sword pierced him in the heart.
Xu Lai whimpered, and many enthusiastic sycophants fell down with regret before they had time to shoot.
Jiang Xiaobai looked at the few corpses on the ground, shook his head, and sighed in his heart, recalling the years of the earth in his dream, as if he was in a different world. There, if you kill a dog, there will be many dog lovers who call themselves dog fathers and dog mothers to accuse you, and here, hey, human life is as cheap as a dog!
