Chapter 2: Bastards and Heroines
The wind and clouds surge, covering the sky and the sun.
Swallows fly low, and heavy rain is coming.
The bamboo forest is far away from the mother-in-law, and there is a clearing in the depths of the bamboo forest, with green grass on the ground and a small wooden house on the grass.
The house was lonely, simple, with doors and windows closed, and I don't know how many baptisms of wind and rain it had experienced.
However, the front and back of the house were cleaned quite cleanly, and the house did not mean to be dilapidated, on the contrary, it was cleaned up quite neatly.
Obviously, there are still people living here, right?
At this time, thirteen pairs of sharp eyes were staring at the house, and they had been staring at it for a long time.
At this moment, a light whistle suddenly sounded in the silence, like the call of a night bird.
The thirteen big men suddenly slid down from the leafy bamboo poles, and they all gathered around the hut as if they were ripe and should have fallen off the fruit of the tree.
Thirteen big men, thirteen big knives, the eyes of the masked men are shining, the knives in their hands are also shining with cold light, they are steady, light, and regular, like wolves slowly approaching their prey.
Approaching the hut, the thirteen big men suddenly stopped in unison, and raised their left hands, for a while, but the sound of breaking through the air was incessant, and they did not know how many of their sleeve arrows were shot into the house, nor how they could hide so many sleeve arrows in their sleeves.
When the arrows had been shot, everything was silent again, so silent that there was not even a hint of insects, and the hut remained the same, except for the windows and doors, which were full of holes—the shafts of the sleeve arrows were short, and the arrows were so heavy and so powerful that they pierced the wood.
Only one of the thirteen masked men had an extra long sword behind him - a five-foot Qingfeng sword, which shows that this person should be the leader of this group, and those who use such a sword are generally good at swords.
I saw that the masked man with the sword on his back made a silent offensive gesture with his left hand, so the twelve masked men approached the hut more cautiously.
They were too careful, too cautious, like twelve black shadows, but their steps were lighter than that of tanuki.
The closer they got to the house, the more they couldn't calm down, and some of them even oozed cold sweat on their foreheads.
- They seem to be hunting prey, they are almost like provoking the beasts of the wilderness.
The big man with the sword on his back suddenly shouted softly, as if he were giving an order, and the bodies of the twelve big men were all shaken, and the next moment they broke into the door, or broke through the window, or broke through the roof, and their movements were as agile as apes, and as rude as tigers.
I saw that the house was gray, clean, and the furnishings were simple, with pots and pans, and all kinds of furniture, but there were sleeve arrows inserted everywhere, which were three points into the wood, and ruined a house of good furniture and utensils.
"The man disappeared into thin air?"
Finally, someone said something in great surprise, with a mixture of disappointment and hope.
- Disappointed that there was no one inside, because they had been watching here for three days, but they also wished there wasn't the person they were looking for, because they all had families.
- It turns out that they are only dealing with individuals, not the beasts of the wilderness.
Finally, the twelve men all noticed a black pot, which had a handle and a lid, and was about a foot in circumference.
The lid of the pot is silver-white, the carved phoenix wears a peony, shining, smooth like a mirror, such a delicate and beautiful pot, but I don't know what is inside?
On the table full of sleeve arrows, the black pot and the silver lid are intact, and there are a lot of sleeve arrows scattered around the pot, obviously this pot is indestructible, and the strength is so domineering that the sleeve arrows can't help it.
"Open it and see what's inside?"
This is the final decision of the twelve big men, so, in front of everyone's eyes, someone went to lift the lid of the pot with one hand, but he was secretly surprised, and his face showed embarrassment.
"Why, is it heavy?" someone wondered.
"Hmm!"
The man's face was a little unpleasant, he put down the big knife in his hand, took a deep breath of true qi, stretched out his arms, stretched out his hands, and went to lift the handle of the pot lid.
The lid of the pot was opened, and it was thrown aside at will, and with a loud "bang", the ground and the house shook, as if it was a boulder, and the ground was smashed out of a big hole.
Everyone looked stunned, a little stunned, only to see that there was no delicacies in this bright silver-white iron pot, and there was no leftovers, and there was a Wang Ba sitting cross-legged in the center, with an adult palm big, hands and feet longer than the average Wang Ba, the back of the hand was naturally placed on the knee, and the palm was facing up, as if he was practicing divine skills.
What was surprising was that the next moment, this Wang Ba suddenly opened his eyes, its pupils were as deep and vast as the sea, and everyone suddenly felt dizzy and tight, and they were almost suffocated, unable to look directly into its eyes.
As if he hadn't seen this group of miserable-looking people, Wang Ba looked up at the roof, and the little eyes that looked up seemed to see through the roof and straight into the sky.
I saw that its hands suddenly shook to the sky, and the qi wave made those big men almost unsteady on their feet, and the whole room shook, almost overturning, and its hands seemed to attract something in the sky.
At this moment, the "leader" who gave the order suddenly appeared at the door, and he saw Wang Ba in the mirrored iron pot at a glance, and at the same time he shouted in horror: "Hurry up!"
It's a pity that it's too late, this Wang Ba seems to be calling for wind and rain, the outside of the house is suddenly dark, and the storm is coming, and at the same time, a thunder suddenly sounded above the nine heavens, and a thick lightning bolt in the heavy dark clouds instantly fell down, like a whip from the heavens, breaking the roof, and falling straight to the Wang Ba in the pot.
Everyone was shocked, and the king did not move on his knees, as if he gladly accepted it, and then there was a loud "boom", and the whole cabin did not even have powder left in an instant, only a large charred black pit on the ground, which was three times larger than the house just now.
All this happened too suddenly, too quickly, at this time the wind and rain suddenly passed, and the weather was very good.
The big man with the sword on his back fled for his life, and finally escaped at the last moment, but at this time he was discouraged, his clothes were torn, and the big knife in his hand had been lost at some point, and he stared angrily at the big pit on the ground that was still emitting green smoke, and his heart palpitated.
"Who?"
The masked man shouted suddenly, and his right hand naturally grasped the hilt of the Qingfeng Sword behind his back, as if it was only a matter of moments when he wanted to pull it out.
I saw a beautiful woman in her early twenties, dressed in pale green clothes.
Clothes and clothes, tops and bottoms, she is very well-dressed, her clothes are good-looking, and people are better-looking.
She smiled like the first flower that bloomed after the snow melted, unbelievably beautiful, and the woman in green said with a smile: "A bunch of fools, the people you are staring at have already run away, and they broke into the door to die in vain!"
Seeing the woman in green coming, the muscles on the masked man's face suddenly twitched, and he suddenly let go of the hand holding the sword.
The masked man said, "Does the girl know where that person has gone?"
"Of course I know!" said the woman in green lightly, her lips like cherries and her teeth like rhinos.
"I'll tell you!" the masked man arched.
The woman in green paced with broken steps, looked at the brand-new emerald shoes on her feet, and slowly asked, "What is the place that person goes to most often?"
"The bastard's most frequented place is the Qinglou. The masked man blurted out almost without thinking.
"He's a bastard, but you can't say he's a bastard!" said the woman in green, her apricot eyes glaring at the masked man, her eyebrows furrowed.
"Yes!" Masked Chinese said in a solemn tone, his head bowed three points, as if he was a little nervous.
"There are hundreds of green buildings, but I don't know which one he is patronizing this time?" the masked man asked cautiously.
"You go to the most famous Qinglou in the city to try your luck, maybe he is having a good time at the moment!"
The woman in green said this with helplessness, with a faint resentment of the girl, her autumn-like eyes looked into the distance of the bamboo forest, as if covered with the fog that only exists when the smoke and rain were present, and her bright teeth bit her rose-like lips.
"Thank you!" the masked man couldn't help but look at the woman more, arched his hand high, turned around and left, and disappeared without a trace in three strokes.
The whole bamboo forest suddenly left only a lonely and thin shadow, soft and light, charming and delicate, let the forest wind blow her green silk and clothes.
Ten thousand are silent, and the leaves are empty,
"He's a jerk, but he's the cutest bastard in the world. The woman in green grunted and smiled, her pretty face slightly red.
~~~
Light rain, mist, avenues.
A group of people walked on the mountain road, all of them looked like fierce gods, looking evil, they did not hold umbrellas, but carried knives and guns on their shoulders, singing triumphant songs.
At the head of the swagger was a burly man, bearded, with a fierce face, eight feet long, and the mountain-like muscles of his arms glossed as if they were made of iron in the drizzle, and a sledgehammer in his hand was bigger than his head, rounder, and brighter.
——The leader's surname is Wei Mingchun, and he is known as the "Demon Ape of the Mixed World".
The five-foot man who walked in second with his head held high, put aside his shirt, exposed his long-haired chest, carried a seven-foot-long saber, hummed a little tune, and called himself "the little ape of the mixed world".
In this group of people, there are five strong men, nine beautiful women, strong men gritting their teeth one by one, their faces are unwilling, and the women like flowers are crying and crying one by one, choking hot tears, of course, the strong men are going to be taken back to be coolies, and the young and beautiful women are naturally going to be taken captive and have fun.
Who are these fierce and vicious bandits who kidnap people's children?
——It is the "Doutianzhai" tribesmen who occupy the mountains eight or nine miles away and fall into the grass as the king, and they have always poisoned the people around them, and their reputation is notorious.
"Don't cry for me, aren't you annoying, is your mouth dry?" the little ape scolded with a pointed mouth and a fat face, raising the saber in his hand, scaring them and cursing them, because he lost the gamble last night, and the nine crying women cried even more upsetting him.
- Although he shouted like this, he had already looked for a woman with the lowest appearance in his heart, and he waited for the evening to come, and he had a good time!
"Huh, there's a piano?"
The sound of the piano is long, a thousand twists and turns, in this misty smoke and rain, the vast avenue, who plays the guzheng?
"Uh-huh!"
The chaotic demon ape suddenly stopped, and the minions behind him naturally stopped, and when they looked through the fog, they saw a woman sitting on the bluestone in front of the avenue.
The woman was dressed in a moon-white half-arm skirt embroidered with pink peach blossoms, a white silk waist, foggy sideburns, starry eyes, a face covered with white veil, through the mist, she still felt that the person was like a lonely orchid in the empty valley, peerless and independent.
The white-clothed woman zither crosses the knees, the jade fingers are lightly plucked, the sound of nature comes out around the fingers, the piano is called "Bright Moon Qin", it is a thousand years of overall paulownia wood cut, it is said that the panel is intended to be eight wildernesses, the hollow quasi-Liuhe, the five strings are the silk spit by the ice silkworm for thousands of years, the rigidity and softness are combined, and the five elements are born when playing, and the four elephants are played.
The woman in white hovers over an oil-paper umbrella to shield it from the rain and fog, the umbrella surface is white, painted with Zhilan, the inscription has a good sentence, the umbrella shape is round, the purple bamboo is the handle, the sixty-four bones, implying the infinite and sixty-four hexagrams, it is a magic weapon born thousands of years ago, the real name is "Taiyan Umbrella", and now it is called "Bright Moon Umbrella".
"Who are you? dare to stand in our way, can't you get tired of living?" a little minion came out and shouted at the woman in white.
"Let go of the fourteen people you have captured, otherwise the deity will set foot on your Doutianzhai!"
The woman in white said lightly, her voice was as crisp and pleasant as jade, but her tone was very resolute, and she could hear that she was not joking at all, and she seemed to be happy to do so.
When fourteen men and women heard this, they thought that a savior had come, and they shouted one after another: "Woman, help......
"Ahh
The little minion who had just shouted at the woman in white was suddenly slapped hard by the demon ape of the mixed world, and the blood foam at the corner of his mouth frothed, and the whole person also flew out sideways, so the fourteen men and women instantly became silent, and they were so frightened that they didn't dare to gasp.
The demon ape of the mixed world spat on the little minion on the ground who couldn't get up, and cursed: "Blind your dog's eyes, is such a peugeot beauty used to roar?"
The demon ape raised his head, staring at the slender woman in white with a pair of big eyes, he was lustful, bold, stepped forward, and smiled at the woman in white: "Beauty, take off the veil and show it to the uncle, see if it is really a big beauty?"
"Toast and don't eat and drink, you should be punished!"
The woman in white shouted, and at the same time, she flicked her bare hand lightly, but when she heard the sound of "Zheng-", an arc-shaped flying blade jumped out of thin air on the strings, and suddenly galloped forward.
