Volume 1: The Seven Stars of the Sunset in the World Chapter 3 The Seven Killings Appear
The body of the spirit feather arrow is not an ordinary bamboo wood, but a man-eating tree from southern Xinjiang.
Although the man-eating tree is a grass tree, it is naturally bloodthirsty, so there are only two paths for the three-armed Yama to choose from.
One is to pull out the spirit feather and let the arrow wound in the heart pump out the hot blood of the body.
Or, let Ling Yu suck the hot blood in his heart little by little.
The greedy wolf on the side picked up his severed palm and silently stared at the three-armed Yama. Looking at this existence that once made the rivers and lakes tremble, the choice he has to face now is to die immediately, or to die tortured.
The victory and defeat have been divided, and the killing intent has dissipated. Yama clutched his chest, walked to the greedy wolf's side with difficulty, and sat down.
Both old men let out tired, heavy breaths, and their eyes cast together into the boundless darkness.
People are about to die, and their words are also good, and the three-armed Yama glanced at the corpse of the broken army curled up beside him.
"I killed a lot of sins, and I deserved to die like this, but I didn't expect to kill one more person when I was dying. ”
The greedy wolf's hoarse voice was full of disdain, "Isn't it true that everyone likes to repent when they die." If it weren't for Lingyu's heart piercing tonight, would you spare your life for this girl?"
"Probably not. ”
Then there was silence.
"If you succeeded, why don't you ask about the whereabouts of that thing?"
"Will there be an answer to the question? If we are not sure enough, Seven Killings will not let us do it. ”
"Seven killings? I really want to see them before I die. You give up a palm, and she accompanies her life, presumably it is all an arrangement of seven killings. ”
A cold light flashed in the greedy wolf's eyes, and he stopped talking.
Yes, the seven kills, all of this was his arrangement.
He was willing to cut off his palm for him, and the broken army was willing to die for him, and even the heart of the three-armed Yama was pierced by the spirit feather according to his plan. Maybe this Seven Killings is really a demon-like existence as the rumors say?
The three-armed Yama saw that the greedy wolf was in a state of flux, focused on healing, and no longer talked. I had to take care of myself for a while, and I grabbed my chest and got up with difficulty. At this moment, the dark blue arrow shaft had turned dark red because it had absorbed enough blood, and even the originally white tail feathers were glowing red.
Old Liu's footsteps began to stagger, like a real old man. He used all his remaining strength and walked towards his hut. There was still his last concern.
The whole world began to spin before his eyes, and time was running out for him.
Fortunately, the oil lamp in the house has been lit, and under the green lamp, the chessboard that has been hidden under the bed has been restacked. Looking at the old Liu Tou who staggered into the house, Geng San pulled a stool for him.
"Are you done with this game?"
Old Liu Tou rubbed his misty eyes. Under the oil lamp, the mess that was disturbed by him during the day was rearranged as it was, and Geng San's white and immature face was still on the side.
Old Liu Tou stared at Geng San in confusion for a long time, as if he had figured out something, and smiled bitterly, "Very good, very good." ”
"You shouldn't have sacrificed that girl. As Old Liu's pawn arched forward, he popped out this sentence.
At this moment, he no longer had the mind to be tempted, and the increasingly difficult breathing made him begin to cherish every word left in this world.
"I gave her a chance to slash her enemy. Geng San's immature voice said a conclusion full of vicissitudes, and the pawn who had just crossed the river was instantly eaten by his chess pieces.
"The killer should get the greatest reward at the lowest price, if it is you who make a move...... Old Liu's words were suddenly interrupted by a violent cough, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the corner of his clothes, and his fingers trembled and sent another pawn to Geng San.
Geng San didn't mind eating Lao Liutou's pawn again. The two of them immediately played back and forth.
On the chessboard, Lao Liu Tou's chess pieces became fewer and fewer, but he still walked firmly step by step. Finally, he couldn't help but break the silence again, "I have never begged anyone in my life. ”
"Hmm. ”
"But I beg you not to hand it over to the Loose Alliance, this matter is very important. ”
"This, I promised them first. ”
......
Poof, a mouthful of old blood spurted out of Lao Liu's mouth, and the entire chessboard was instantly stained red with blood.
Geng San's eyelids finally lifted, and he saw the pale face of the old Liu. He knew that the blood in the body of the old man in front of him was finally about to run out.
In order to prevent his increasingly heavy head from hanging down, Lao Liu Tou propped his elbows on the edge of the table and dragged his chin with his palms. He wanted to open his eyes again to see the delicate face that had been playing chess with him for several months, but the heavy eyelids could no longer support it, and gradually covered his whole world.
Under the green light of the small mountain village, the rivers and lakes are missing a legend that has cultivated a third killing arm.
The howling night wind swayed the stars, and one legend buried another.
......
Outside the thatched hut, the blood gushing at the broken wrist of the greedy wolf finally stopped, and he propped himself up and walked into the thatched hut of Lao Liutou.
There, Geng San was still looking at the endgame on the chessboard in a daze, a chess game that could never end. Although Lao Liu Tou's chess pieces were almost eaten by Geng San, it was precisely because he ate too many chess pieces that Geng San was unable to deliver the final blow to Lao Liu Tou's "general".
"Young Lord ......"
Geng San was still in a trance, but he didn't hear it.
The greedy wolf was silent for a while, and finally mustered up the courage again and raised his voice, "Young Lord!"
Geng San came back to his senses at this time. He put the chess pieces one by one neatly, picked up the chessboard on the table, and handed it to the greedy wolf, "You bring this back to the alliance leader." ”
The greedy wolf took the chessboard with his left hand and stopped talking.
"Why don't you leave?"
"Young Lord, why don't you go back with me?"
"I'm going to bury the broken army. ”
"But the young lord ......"
Geng San suddenly glared at the greedy wolf, who didn't dare to look directly at him, so he had to put the chessboard in his hands, turned around and prepared to exit the house.
"Uncle Wolf......" When one of the greedy wolf's legs had already stepped out of the threshold, the name behind him made his body shake and freeze there. Since the first time this child killed someone, he has never called himself "Uncle Wolf" again. Now this Uncle Wolf made the greedy wolf's shoulders tremble slightly.
He didn't dare to turn his head, he didn't want the young man who called him Uncle Wolf to see the tears in his eyes.
"Uncle Wolf, in a month, it will be my sixteenth birthday. For the remaining thirty days, I want to live alone, so let's leave it alone. ”
"Hmm. The greedy wolf responded hoarsely and resolutely rushed out of the door.
One month, thirty days, three hundred and sixty hours, this is the last period of seven killings in this world.
......
Within the Loose Alliance, the Council Hall.
The middle-aged man dressed in brocade sat on the wide Taishi chair, which was the main capital of the Xiaoyao Alliance. Several bewitching women gathered around the Taishi chair in disheveled clothes, and from time to time they picked fruits from the fruit bowl on the side and stuffed them into the man's mouth.
The subordinate outside the door said, "Lord, the greedy wolf is back." ”
"Yes!" Badu jumped up from the Taishi's chair, and in his excitement, he brought several women around him to the ground. Because he was blocked by the woman who fell to the ground, he kicked him impatiently and hard, "Get out!
The women scattered in fright, and a greedy wolf with a broken wrist around his neck walked in.
"Alliance leader. ”
"Did you get the thing?"
"Got it. ”
Badu snatched the chessboard handed over by the greedy wolf, looked at it several times, and couldn't see the reason for it for a while. "What about the others?"
"This is the head of a three-armed Yama. The greedy wolf shouted back to his men and presented a square box wrapped in layers of linen.
After a moment's hesitation, Greedy Wolf continued, "The broken army has been killed in battle. ”
"These three-armed Yamas really have two hits. What about the Seven Killings?"
"Alliance Leader, in less than a month, it will be the sixteenth birthday of the Young Venerable Lord. ”
"Oh. That also brought him back. I originally planned to leave him the position of alliance leader, but since he was not blessed to enjoy it, I specially prepared a high-quality golden silk nan coffin for him. ”
Without waiting for the greedy wolf to answer, the tyrant stared at the square box in the hands of the upper and lower people, "Hang this guy's head on the square to show the public, and gather the brothers to worship Si Kongjian, just say that our free alliance has avenged the old alliance leader, go down." ”
Obviously, Badu's attention was all on the chessboard, and after explaining, he went straight to the inner room with the chessboard in his hand.
Soon, only the lonely figure of the greedy wolf was left in the hall, "alas", with a long sigh, the last lonely figure also retreated.
......
In Sandao Village, Lao Liu Tou's thatched hut was burned clean by a fire, and the hillside where he lived was far away from the village, and when the villagers found the fire and rushed to fight the fire, they didn't even grab Lao Liutou's bones.
On weekdays, Lao Liu Tou is a loner and has no relatives or friends. A few enthusiastic neighbors simply buried the remains of his thatched hut in the soil, erected a wooden board in front of the dirt bag, and asked Geng San to write a few words, "The Tomb of Old Liu, a Carpenter".
Only then did everyone find out that this strange old man who had lived in the village for more than 20 years didn't even know his full name.
Geng Er, who was playing mountain goods, finally came back. It seems that this time it has been quite fruitful. He returned home in high spirits.
"San'er, San'er, what do you see I'm fighting this time?"
Geng San was cleaning up the house when he heard a shout and greeted him. I saw Geng Er untie a red fox from his waist, and his fur was shiny and shiny.
Geng Eryi wrapped the fox around Geng San's neck, "Brother, you are thin, I will peel off this skin later, and let Aunt Li give you a scarf, so that you can survive the winter here of our three roads." ”
"Thank you, big brother. Although Geng San's hand was caressing the smooth fur, he was a little absent-minded.
Geng Er had a straightforward temper, "What's wrong, San'er, are you unhappy? Are you being bullied by someone?" Tell me, my brother will give you anger." ”
"No, big brother, you treat me very well, and everyone treats me very well......"
Seven killings have seen too many deceitful and deceitful, betrayal and killing. Also admonished feelings will only be a killer weakness. A killer with a weakness is bound to fall prey. But now that his time is numbered, he suddenly feels that it is not impossible to have the love of such an elder brother.
It's just that if he continues to stay in Sandao Village, he may bring disaster to this village at any time.
"Big brother, my name is Xiang Bei. ”
"Ahh Geng Er happily picked up Geng San and turned around. "Xiang Bei, this name is really good. Suddenly, Geng Er became worried again, "Then are you going to leave?"
"Hmm", Xiang Bei nodded, "Big brother, I will always be Geng San in front of you." But I did have to go. ”
"That's good. The upright man doesn't drag the mud and water, "This leather can be made in three days, and you have to take it with you when you leave." Then I will send you out of the mountains. ”
Xiang Bei responded silently, maybe three days is not too long. Moreover, these three days should not be too difficult for Xiang Bei, who has nowhere to go.
