Chapter 68 The beggar is a thief
Accidentally killing Li Batang, Xiao Ying was a little at a loss, after all, she had never killed anyone, let alone seen anyone who died when she hit a sword.
Gao Haixiong shouted "Sixth Brother", then jumped out of the battle circle and hooked a single hook towards Xiao Ying. Xiao Ying lost the opportunity because of panic, although there was no big problem, but the long sword was caught by him and fell into passivity.
Yue Yuan let out a long sigh helplessly, pounced on Gao Haixiong's back, and relieved Xiao Ying's encirclement. Then he took over the opponent for Xiao Ying and said, "Go and help Fang Xiaodao." ”
Five lakes and nine ghosts, now two people are in a coma, one person died tragically, and only six people remain. Moreover, the fall of Huang Guang meant that they had lost their ability to fight. In the face of the three masters, although they have the power of one battle, they only have the power of one battle, and the possibility of winning is not very good.
Fang Xiaodao changed from a seven-person siege to a five-person siege, but he still did not relax in the slightest. The addition of Xiaoying made him less concerned about one or the other, and more calm. The two joined forces, and the battle situation immediately changed dramatically. Because except for Hou Yuxuan, the other four people are not afraid.
After Xiao Ying joined, he immediately chose Hou Yuxuan as his opponent, so he let Fang Xiaodao deal with the other four people first. Today's First World War Fang Xiaodao will definitely be famous in the rivers and lakes, no longer because he is Qin Bugui's apprentice, but because he himself has become a top master in the martial arts that cannot be underestimated.
One against four, the sword of the square knife must be fast, but it must not lose the discipline, because the most terrible thing about one to many is to take care of one or the other. He has just returned to the Central Plains Martial Arts, and he has not yet shown his martial arts improvement in the past three years. Today, the opportunity is here. I saw that his sword was like a meteor, and the sword qi was vertical and horizontal at the dance, and he gradually gained the upper hand among the four of them. Mu Qianyi also used his own strength to deal with the nine ghosts of the five lakes and nine ghosts, and four of them did not fall behind. Today's performance of Fang Xiaodao has surpassed Mu Qianyi three years ago.
Suddenly, there was a scream, and Liu Xian was hit with a sword in the shoulder. Immediately afterwards, Wei Chuang was stabbed in the lower abdomen by Fang Xiaodao. Their original martial arts were far from Fang Xiaodao's, and once any of them joined forces were abolished, they would all lose even faster. Lei Zheng and Qiu Yiming were left, and they had already broken their courage, as if they were waiting to be slaughtered.
On the other side, as Yue Yuan punched out, Gao Haixiong also lost his combat power. When he was besieging before, he didn't think that Yue Yuan was very powerful, but when he dealt with him alone, he found that he was far from being Yue Yuan's opponent.
The five lakes and nine ghosts have lost their combat power in this war so far. They were three times as numerous as the enemy, but they were still so absurdly defeated, which shows that when there are too many differences in martial arts, it is useless to have more people. The last master, Hou Yuxuan, had also shown his defeat under Xiao Ying's sword at this time.
Fang Xiaodao suddenly abandoned them, ran over to Xiao Ying and said, "Let's go." ”
It's not because I'm afraid, but because I'm not willing to fight anymore. The matter has come to this point, the five lakes and nine ghosts are completely planted today, and if they continue to fight, they can only bully people. If it weren't for the last resort, Fang Xiaodao wouldn't want to kill, but if he continued to fight, it would be difficult to say how many people would survive the Five Lakes and Nine Ghosts.
The two of them ran for a while, and the Fang Xiaodao in front of them suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "What are you doing with us?"
Yue Yuan said with a blank face: "I'll follow you, don't you want to?"
Fang Xiaodao was naturally reluctant to follow the two of them, but his reaction was extremely interesting.
Fang Xiaodao played for a while and said, "Do you think that I am in charge of this gossip today, just for you?"
Yue Yuan was surprised: "Isn't it?"
Fang Xiaodao smiled: "It's really not, but since you're coming up, I'm sorry for you to follow for a while!" After speaking, as if he was very sure that the other party would follow, he didn't care about moving forward at all.
Yue Yuan was very helpless, as a very conceited person, he was actually fiddled with by others like this today. It seemed that there was no reason for him not to follow, otherwise it would be too inexplicable.
Although Fang Xiaodao is not rich and not expensive, he can't talk about how particular he is. But he always felt that even if there was no wine when talking about things seriously, there should be two cups of coarse tea. Today he didn't find any wine, only a tea shed on the side of the road. The utensils used to hold the tea were not elaborate tea vessels, but shoddy bowls, but in his opinion, this was actually enough.
Pouring hot tea, watching the hot air float up, the irritable Yue Yuan said, "Say, what are you looking for me?"
Fang Xiaodao said: "What do you think I should do to find you?"
Yue Yuan said: "There are many, people who come to me can have various reasons, but the most are two. One is looking for me to get something, and the other is looking for me to get something. ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "In other words, either I am looking for you to get my own things back, or I am asking you to steal another thing?"
Yue Yuan nodded and said, "There are only these two reasons to find a thief." ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "I'm neither. ”
Yue Yuan was stunned and said, "It seems that you really don't want to look for me." ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "It's just the right time, I'm not a person who likes to make trouble by myself." ”
Yue Yuan said: "However, you did find yourself in trouble. ”
Fang Xiaodao nodded, picked up the bowl, and seemed to feel that the tea was too hot, and put it down again: "People always have to have some noble ideas, and do some noble things, so that they don't live in vain, right?"
Yue Yuan said: "First of all, you have to know that I am not a very chivalrous person, if you have any noble ideas and what noble things you want to do, you don't have to tell me." ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "Five lakes and nine ghosts, these nine people are not big evils, do you think this is right?"
Yue Yuan nodded and said: "Acting weirdly, what you say is harmful to the martial arts, your ability is still worse." ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "Could it be that a person has to be peerless in martial arts to be considered extremely vicious! In my opinion, the bullying of the weak by the Five Lakes and Nine Ghosts is actually more hateful." What they kill may be people who don't know martial arts, or even old and weak women and children. This is even more hateful than the Demon Gate!"
Yue Yuan looked at Fang Xiaodao and said, "You're right, but everyone has selfish intentions. For people in the martial arts, people who pose a greater threat to themselves are worthy of respect and vigilance, which is a truth that will always exist. ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "So, the matter of the Five Lakes and Nine Ghosts, I really don't want to help you." ”
Yue Yuan nodded, but he was a little depressed in his heart. Since you don't look for me, why will you let me follow again, is it just to drink tea to quench your thirst!
Fang Xiaodao looked at Yue Yuan, then drank a belly of tea, and after brewing for a long time, he asked slowly: "Dao Ma Chuan Holy Relic, didn't you steal the useless blade?"
The tea bowl in Yue Yuan's hand fell in response, and his face suddenly turned pale. This is really a normal reaction, when it comes to Dao Ma Chuan, people in the martial arts always feel scared.
The reason why Fang Xiaodao asked this was because he had thought of Yue Yuan in Daoma River, and felt that he was the only person who could steal the useless blade in the heavily guarded Daoma Palace.
Yue Yuan is not born a thief, because no one is born a thief, and no one is born to steal. Over the years, he has always been happy to steal, making people think that if he doesn't steal, his hands will definitely itch. Before he became a thief, he had a bad time. It may have been the experience at that time that made him lose his sense of shame about stealing.
A big event happened in the rivers and lakes that year. As a swordsman who has never been defeated in the rivers and lakes for decades, Qin Bugui Shen Sword Hongshadu, swore an oath with the heroes, and withdrew from the rivers and lakes. But at this time, there was no Yue Yuan on the rivers and lakes, and there was no name of the world's number one thief. There is no such name because no one has made stealing the first in the world, and no one has made stealing amazing. As a beggar, Yue Yuan was nostalgic for the street all day long, because he felt that there were many good people in places where there were many people.
People in the world always feel that life is very hard, and they will complain and curse. But people who have actually been beggars rarely talk about that experience, because there is not only hardship, but also humiliation. After being bitten by dogs, beaten with sticks, and tasting the taste of spitting countless times, Yue Yuan finally found that there are not so many good people in the world, whether it is in the deep mountains and old forests or in the downtown area.
The opposite side is just steamed buns, and the taste is definitely not as good as the delicacies of the mountains and seas. Moreover, the steamed bun is mixed with mixed noodles, and the rich can't look down on it. But the smell of the steamed bun penetrated into the hungry Yue Yuan's nose, and suddenly made his hunger outweigh the pain after being beaten up. He was beaten because he was fighting with other beggars for food.
Faced with the hot steamed buns, he now has three choices, either to steal, to rob, or to beg. However, begging is the most pitiful method, and people may not give it to him. It is very difficult to steal, because he will be discovered as soon as he gets close, and he will probably be evicted if he doesn't get anywhere. That leaves only one last option, robbing. The difficulty with this method is that he simply does not have the strength to snatch steamed buns from the boss with a big waist and a round waist. He had seen people who ate overlord meals, and this kind of person was usually beaten very badly, but after all, he was able to eat enough. Therefore, after thinking about it again, he had the safest way.
Yue Yuan moved and walked over slowly. The boss saw Yue Yuan, and then took a wooden stick and waved it there, as if trying to drive Yue Yuan away. But Yue Yuan didn't seem to be scared and continued to walk forward. After taking a few steps, he stopped, his chest twitching violently, looking nervous.
The best thing to do is to rush over, grab the steamed bun and stuff it into your mouth, and then let the other party beat it and swallow the steamed bun. In order to succeed, he must be fast, he must be quick to grasp steamed buns, he must be quick to swallow steamed buns, and he must be quick to swallow steamed buns, because for him, only what he swallows into his stomach is his own.
A person who is hungry and crazy will not be very fast even if he is fast, because he does not have the physical strength to do it faster. So. Yue Yuan grabbed a steamed bun with the boss's stick, then lowered his head, let the other party beat, and stuffed the steamed bun into his mouth. Without chewing, he swallowed.
It's just that he didn't expect that it would be very laborious to swallow a whole steamed bun in one bite, so he still stuffed it with his hands. The boss thought he was crazy and stopped beating his hands. Then, he glared at the boss viciously, grabbed another steamed bun with his dirty hand, and left slowly. He couldn't beat the strong boss, but he was ruthless and evil enough, so he ended up eating steamed buns. This is the truth that life has taught him, the world did not give him a good face, he exchanged cruelty for food, so he learned to be ruthless and learned to be evil.
From then on, he became a ruthless and evil beggar, and he went to a different place to eat every day. Although he was beaten every day, after he had eaten enough, he felt less pain.
Finally, one day, he was punished. The market was not big, and he always went to the same places every once in a while, in exchange for a full meal. Therefore, it quickly caused dissatisfaction among everyone.
On this day, a man who had beaten him no less than ten times and had been eaten by him no less than ten times gave him a meatloaf with a smile. Yue Yuan felt that this was just being frightened by his own cruelty, so they could only satisfy themselves in this flattering way. So, he accepted the meatloaf and left happily, he even felt that the boss was a relatively good person.
Not long after eating enough meatloaf, he vomited and diarrhea, and his stomach hurt. Only then did I know that he had been poisoned, and that man had no good intentions, but was more hateful than anyone else, because he wanted to kill himself.
He would die soon, but he died a wretched death. Since childhood, the family also had a house and a land, but the home was destroyed by the wicked, and both parents and brothers died. He scolded God, but God did not have mercy on him. He begged along the streets, and suffered all the white eyes, but God still did not have mercy on him, but wanted him to die. He was not reconciled, so he got up, and he was going to kill the person who had killed him. This God treats himself like this, he will definitely not avenge himself when he dies, he wants to go by himself. Later, he couldn't walk, so he crawled, like a dog.
In this way, he crawled to his enemy with all his strength, and when he got closer, he no longer had the strength to stand up, and even scolded angrily.
Suddenly, a tall figure appeared, looked at him with his hands behind his back and said, "If you don't have the ability, you can only climb, and you can only climb in this life." Then he paused and said: "No, you can't climb for a lifetime, and if you climb here, it's the end of this life." ”
Yue Yuan was unwilling and tried hard to stand up, but like a puddle of mud, it was impossible to stand up straight. He gave up, buried his face in the dirt, and let out an unwilling roar.
The tall figure walked away and walked over to the boss who had poisoned him. He pinched his head, twisted it from side to side, and then walked back with it in his hand and threw it in front of his eyes. Yue Yuan looked at this dirty head and this hateful face in amazement, and he didn't feel relieved at all, because he didn't kill it himself.
The man's gloomy voice said: "From now on, you can follow me, I will teach you to be a decent person, and you will never be humiliated again." ”
Later, Yue Yuan finally knew that the person who saved him and taught him martial arts was called Hu Wei, and he liked to do nonsense the most. He followed Hu Wei, learned boxing and light skills, and also learned how to steal. He studied very hard and soon became an excellent thief. Today, he doesn't have to be a thief to live, but he's still used to stealing. Because he feels that stealing is a survival skill, and it is also a very hateful thing. He had nothing, but he lacked nothing, and he seemed to be having a good time.
Thinking back carefully about Yue Yuan's experience, it is not difficult to see that he does lack the ability to distinguish between right and wrong. He looked at it as if it were a casual take, even though it didn't belong to him. However, the one who took away his homeland did not take away his own things. Those days of begging on the street told him that he can't live by wagging his tail and begging, and it is not good to rob, so it is best to steal.
In the tea shed, Fang Xiaodao stared at Yue Yuan and said, "You stole it?"
Yue Yuan calmed down and said, "Why are you asking?"
Fang Xiaodao said: "You have nothing to do with me whether you steal or not, and I am not friends with Dao Ma Chuan, and we are not even friendly." ”
Yue Yuan took a sip of tea and said, "Yes, I stole it, but the thing is not with me." ”
Fang Xiaodao was not interested in who the thing was, but how he stole it. He had seen the garrison of the Sword and Horse Palace, there were so many masters, it was definitely impossible for him to fight beyond the abyss. As for stealing, it's hard to get to.
Fang Xiaodao said: "What is more difficult to steal than this thing in the world, I'm afraid I can only go to the palace to find it." So, how the hell did you do that, I'm curious?"
Yue Yuan said: "It's none of your business, since you and Dao Ma Chuan are not friends and are not friendly, you shouldn't ask about this matter." ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "Then you, when did you steal it?"
Yue Yuan thought for a while and said, "Four years ago. ”
Fang Xiaodao said: "If it was four years ago, I think it must have been after the great sacrifice in the autumn!"
Yue Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, I am Daomachuan who arrived in winter." ”
In the winter four years ago, Fang Xiaodao was still in Huahe Town, and after seeing Qiuguo for the first time, he was bored at home every day for unrequited love, so naturally it was impossible to know where Yue Yuan was at that time, so even if Yue Yuan lied, he couldn't debunk it.
Fang Xiaodao said: "Eighteen heavy gates, eighteen top masters." Inside the last door, there is a strong guard. I really can't guess what kind of amazing skill you're going to have to steal a useless blade out of it?"
Yue Yuan looked at him and said, "Are you also curious about this Tao and want to learn?"
Fang Xiaodao smiled without saying a word, picked up the long sword from the table and said, "I want to say two words to you." ”
Yue Yuan said: "Oh?"
Fang Xiaodao said: "Goodbye!"
Yue Yuan said: "I can't ask for it. ”
Fang Xiaodao stood up, didn't pay for the tea, asked the boss for two catties of dried tofu, ordered it to be counted in Yue Yuan's account, and then walked away.
When Fang Xiaodao walked away, Yue Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, and said to himself in a helpless tone: "How can fashion have such a boring person?"
He was right, Fang Xiaodao was indeed boring. He had a lot of things to do, but he suddenly got bored because he didn't know what to do first. Go find Ye Cibei, it seems that he doesn't know how to face this person who doesn't remember what the company commander looks like but is as kind to him as a mountain. It's okay to go to Su Ruoyao or Yin Sheng, but I'm afraid I won't be able to leave it in the future, and he still has to go to the Northern Desert. However, the matter of going to the Northern Desert also made him entangled, because the misunderstanding made people unhappy, but after solving the misunderstanding, it was difficult to get rid of Shan Yan's infatuation. Now, he found that he had been procrastinating, and he didn't really want to deal with all this lot of trouble.
Fang Xiaodao and She Ying walked slowly for a few days, but they met acquaintances by chance. Moreover, this acquaintance is not very friendly, and when he sees them, he leaves without looking at them.
Fang Xiaodao smiled helplessly, and Xiao Ying said, "Brother Fang, looking at her expression, it seems that something is wrong!"
Fang Xiaodao said, "Oh?"
Xiao Ying said: "Anyway, I think it's unusual. ”
Fang Xiaodao nodded and said, "Follow and take a look." ”
