Chapter 14 14.Reasons and Rules
How many killers there are in Butterfly Valley, even my master can't tell. "Ten Heavenly Stems" combined with "Twelve Earthly Branches", to say the least, there should be a hundred, right?
But in fact, there are simply not so many.
Not to mention those who can't come back from the mission, those whose whereabouts are exterminated when their whereabouts are exposed, and those who fail to perform the mission and are executed, originally every "cadre" and "branch" has never been full.
But there are still a lot of people with high means in Butterfly Valley. Note that I say "means" and not necessarily referring to martial arts. The ability to kill people and the level of martial arts are two different things.
In addition to the mysterious valley master, me and Chengying's upline, my master, and the old husband Sun Xiaodie, there are also several powerful characters I have heard of, such as Dongfang Fire Dance, Ye Zhiqiu, and Condensation.
Of the people I mentioned earlier, Condensation is the one I'm most curious about. I haven't met him in person, I only know that he is "Jiazi".
Got it, right?
I don't know how high his martial arts are, and I haven't fought against him, but I heard that Hong Tianlai's rebels were finally defeated, and the key reason was that the condensation killed the "Left and Right Heavenly Masters" and the "Four Generalissimos" in his army.
The loss of core talent and the strength of his army were greatly weakened, which led to a sharp turn in the situation, from victory to destruction.
The strange thing is that the condensation of death.
I heard that after condensing and finally killing the Zuo Tianshi Ram in Hong Tianlai's army, he suddenly set off for Goryeo, but he encountered wind and waves at sea by boat, touched the reef, and unfortunately drowned in the sea.
When Master Li Yun told the story of condensation, he always looked shocked and incredulous.
"Supposedly, he should face Hong Tianlai next. If he was doing things for the imperial court at that time, he should have killed Hong Tianlai, the leader of the rebel army, and then went to ask the emperor for credit. Why do you suddenly have to go to sea?"
This mystery remains unsolved.
Until this departure, Gongsun Xiaodie gave me a hint: Condensation once fought a "vanishing battle" with Nangong Ying, and the two agreed that the side that lost the competition would withdraw from the Central Plains Martial Arts and never appear again.
Okay! Not to mention whether Condensation's death has anything to do with him, it seems that Condensation must have lost to him in the martial arts competition back then.
Man is the most invaluable animal to be curious.
Thinking about it, I thought that I would meet this Nangong Ying. Not to mention, I'm going to kill him this time.
The condensation of martial arts is said to be very comprehensive, swords, guns, swords, halberds, light skills, and hidden weapons, almost omnipotent, not like Nangong Ying, who mainly relies on a knife to eat. However, the more comprehensive it is, the more difficult it is to master a particular subject. Moreover, there is a difference between martial arts and pure murder.
Be disciplined.
If you don't pay attention to the rules, the competition will no longer be a competition, but purely a fight to kill the opponent.
If you don't follow the rules, I think, by means of condensation, how can you lose to a person who is only good at using a knife, since you can go in and out of the enemy's tent at will.
So, I guess it's not that simple.
Therefore, after I killed Nangong Lan, who was obsessed with swords, I found an opportunity to put his dragon sword god next to Nangong Ying's pillow unconsciously.
I left a note: "If you want to avenge your brother, come to the appointment alone." On the fifth day of the first month, the Storm Pavilion. ”
Oh, I led him from Chuzhou to Hangzhou, I want to see if this person has the courage to come alone.
As it turned out, I overestimated him.
He did come alone, and his sword skills were indeed not bad.
However, if it is said to be a "sword god", it is a bit too much.
Because I quickly saw his flaws.
He is fast, but he may not be able to receive, especially when he jumps up and makes moves in the air.
Although "the fist is afraid of being less strong", his strength is also very strong, but this thirty-six-pound tiger wing knife is still a little heavy for him.
This flaw is not difficult to find. Even if my eyes are fine, I can see things quickly if I still see normally as before.
With the ability to condense the No. 1 killer of Tianzi, I don't believe he can't see it.
There's got to be a problem here.
Twenty rounds later, when he attacked me with a move, "Red Rabbit Chase", I flashed and stabbed him in the wrist with a sword, and he was on the verge of flying his knife.
Oh, thirty-six pounds, at this time, my wrist strength feels, it's just a bag of dry food!
Nangong should be defeated.
In the next move, the tip of my sword was already an inch in front of his throat.
"It seems that you are not necessarily a condensed opponent. ”
"You're right". Nangong Ying said: "Since you are from Butterfly Valley, then I might as well tell you the truth." ”
"Oh, yes! ”
"It's not so much that the condensation was defeated in my hands and had to withdraw from the martial arts, but that he originally wanted to quit. ”
"Oh, what do you mean by that?"
"You must have heard that he was killed on his way to Goryeo. ”
"Not bad. ”
"Have you ever wondered why he's going to Goryeo?"
"Isn't it about you?"
"Heh, I'm not going to hurt him. ”
"Then why is he suddenly going to Goryeo?"
Nangong Ying's face became solemn at this time, and said, "At that time, Mrs. Hu of Penglai Island was assassinated. He just wanted to investigate the case. ”
"Mrs. Hu?" I couldn't help but wonder and asked, "Woman?"
"Of course. ”
"What kind of woman is it?"
Nangong Ying said lightly: "You may have misunderstood, it's not the kind of thing you think." They have no personal feelings. Mrs. Hu died, but not at the hands of the Central Plains. The condensation went to Goryeo, and there were some clues to find the real culprit. ”
"So what?" I asked.
"So, he just quit deliberately in the name of fighting a vanishing war with me, so that he could have a grand reason to do what he wanted. ”
But before he reached Goryeo, something happened. ”
"This ...... That's what I've always wondered. ”
After chatting with Nangong Ying for a few words, I suddenly realized a problem, that is, until now, the condensation was only rumored to have drowned in the sea, and there was no conclusive evidence that he was indeed dead.
My master and grandson Fluttershy didn't say they had seen his corpse.
Belch...... It seems that there is a story in this.
But right now, I'm not interested in researching this story. Penglai Island is far away from Jiangnan, and I have never heard of Mrs. Hu, and besides, Condensation is a killer, why does he want to investigate the case like an official, and what does he do in charge of other people's affairs?
The main purpose of my trip is to kill Nangong Jun. Now, the second stumbling block is about to be removed.
So I said to Nangong Ying: "I hope you can give me a reason not to kill you." ”
"Hehe", I didn't expect Nangong Ying to laugh at this time. The young face smiled quite vicissitudes. It was as if he had already experienced the thousands of mountains and rivers in life.
After laughing, he said something that I will never forget.
He said, "Do whatever you want." Where in the world do you have so many reasons?"
Well?
I looked at him coldly, and he said, "I know you're a killer. Then, you are right to carry out your employer's orders. And why bother to tell between right and wrong?"
Hey!
"Yes". I said to him, "It seems that you understand our rules." ”
"Yes". He said, "I have my rules. For example, today I am defeated by your men, and you must kill me. Otherwise, I will kill you sooner or later. ”
