Text Volume 1 Wood Hibiscus Chapter 23 The Mysterious Old Man
When you sing about wine, life is geometric
Haishi, Chengdu Mansion, mountain suburbs, lakeside.
The moon also seemed to sense this cold killing intent and secretly hid in the clouds.
There were only a few remnants of stars left, twinkling and flashing, staring at the two people in the nether realm.
An looked at the lake with a stunned expression, followed by the man in black with a murderous face, slowly raised his hands and moved his body casually.
The man in black sneered: You want to kill me?
An smiled, a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes, and said softly: It's okay if I don't kill you, as long as you tell me the identity of the red-faced man, and then leave here, and don't come here again in the future, okay?
The man in black laughed angrily, and said lightly: No matter what means you use to kill Ah Ming, it can show that your martial arts and mind are absolutely good, but if you treat me as Ah Ming and think that you can also defeat me, then you are too ridiculous.
Ann shook her head and said slowly: "Do it, I have other things to do tonight."
The black face towel of the man in black moved, obviously his face twitched, he wanted to go crazy, and he secretly felt that this kid was really arrogant, and he would definitely torture him later than death.
At this time, the green light in the eyes of the man in black was flourishing, and two pitch-black daggers were horizontal in front of him, and a green light flashed from time to time, which was obviously highly poisonous.
An looked at the dagger glowing with a faint green light, smacked her lips, and said secretly in her heart, don't let him scratch the new clothes Qingqing made for me, otherwise how to explain to Qingqing. As he spoke, he lowered his head and looked left and right, then nodded again. Obviously, she is very satisfied with the green female red.
The man in black looked at the young man in front of him, his eyes shining green slowly had a trace of blood red, and with a loud sound, he jumped into the air, waved his arms, and shot down sharply.
Ann rolled her eyes and said secretly, "Isn't it good for you to run here?" Why do you have to jump up and fall again. However, this guy's body speed is indeed much faster and more agile than his brother.
An groped in his arms for a while, took out a two-foot-long piece of bamboo, turned it over and over again, looked at it, and sighed: When you kill the flower thief and receive a reward, you must buy a sword as soon as possible.
At this time, the man in black had arrived less than a foot in front of An, and saw An take out a long gray item from his arms, and suddenly stood still, and secretly said in his heart: It must be this mysterious weapon that killed Ah Ming, hmph, I will never make the mistake that Ah Ming made again.
Seeing that the man in black suddenly stopped, he said strangely: "What?
The man in black frowned, looked at the weapon he was holding at random in An's hand, and snorted: Hidden weapon?
Ann was stunned for a moment, then burst out laughing.
The man in black said angrily: What are you laughing at?
Ann smiled as she handed him the piece of bamboo in her hand.
The man in black was not trivial, and hurriedly turned over and jumped backwards, the castration was even more fierce and swift than the momentum.
After a while, An Cai stood still with a smile, looked at the disappearing figure in front of him, and said suspiciously: "Ran away?" Then he stretched out his head to take a closer look, and found the creeping figure of the man in black in the grass seven zhang away.
An was speechless for a while, and said after a while: What are you doing here?
The man in black poked out half of his head slightly, but his body was still lying motionless on the ground, and he smiled coldly: It turns out that you took advantage of Ah Ming's unpreparedness and used a secret weapon to sneak attack him and kill him, how could I still be fooled?
An couldn't help but sigh: Get out of here, I don't have time to play with you.
The man in black seemed to have made up his mind, and after a while, there was still no movement.
Ann looked at the moon in the sky, roughly calculated the time, and said secretly: If I continue to rub it off like this, I don't want to sleep tonight, and when I think of the flower thief who is missing, I can't help but feel angry. Scolded: What the hell are you doing?
The man in black smiled and said, "Hmph, you want to lure me out and deliberately let me get close to you, just to ensure that the hidden weapon hits me?"
Ann stopped being verbose, broke the bamboo piece in his hand in two, and threw it at him.
The man in black hurriedly turned over and jumped up, rolling to the side.
When the man in black got up and stood up in shock, An said lightly: My secret weapon has already been used, you can make a move quickly.
The man in black looked at the hidden weapon that was broken in two, and for a moment he didn't know what it was, and then laughed loudly: Stupid fellow, let's die. As he spoke, he rose up again and swooped down, stabbing Ann in the throat.
With a thud, the dagger stabbed out of Ann's neck.
An was still expressionless, and said lightly: With a dagger like you, it's a little worse to kill a pig.
The man in black said angrily: With such a dagger, it is more than enough to kill you.
In the shouting, he has stabbed more than ten times!
I only heard the sound of the dagger breaking through the air, which was urgent and loud, and the flowers and plants on the hillside had been smashed by the dagger. The broken flowers and plants fell to the ground, and the surrounding grass within three feet instantly withered and blackened. These ten stabs were really faster than one stab, but Ann just stood there, as if he hadn't even moved, and the two daggers had somehow all been stabbed empty.
The man in black gritted his teeth, the dagger flew, and he shot more urgently.
Who knew that An had no intention of making a move at all, and after the round of rapid attacks behind him was all pierced, An suddenly smiled and said: I see that you are not very old, and it is rare to have such martial arts in ordinary people, but I am too talented, and I am so good at martial arts, you can't kill me. And I don't want to kill you now, as long as you promise me not to come again, I'll let you go.
In the middle of the dagger stabbing in the air, he could still talk and hurt him in a good time, the man in black was anxious and angry, how could the dagger not touch the other party's clothes.
It turned out that his dagger was just about to stab Ann's throat, and he found that Ann's body was turning to the left, and of course his dagger immediately changed to the left, who knew that An's body didn't move at all, and his dagger changed again, but it still failed, so although his dozens of stabs were all killers who controlled people's lives, but at the best moment, they all became false tricks inexplicably.
The man in black gritted his teeth, stabbed out two daggers in An's chest, and said secretly: No matter what tricks you play this time, I won't be fooled by you.
I saw An's left shoulder move slightly, and his body seemed to be about to rotate to the right.
To know that the masters are competing, the attention is to observe the people in the micro, the enemy has not moved, I move first, the enemy will move, I have moved, the man in black is a professional killer, naturally understand this truth, the benefit of the eyes, is also very human. No matter how slight the other party's movements are, they will definitely not escape his eyes.
But because of this, he fell on Ann's tricks, and stabbed himself dozens of false moves, so this time he made up his mind, no matter how Ann moved, he turned a blind eye, and this stab would never change his tricks halfway, and the lightning stabbed Ann's chest.
Who knew that this time An really turned to the right, and the dagger of the man in black grazed Ann's chest and stabbed it again.
When he realized that the trick was old, it was too late to change the trick, only to hear two soft choking sounds, and An's long and powerful fingers had been flicked twice on his dagger!
The man in black felt a shock from the tiger's mouth, half of his body was numb, and the dagger in his hand could no longer hold it, and the sound of light noise continued, and the two daggers had been shot into the grass in the distance like lightning!
Ann was still standing there, her feet never moving half a step at all.
The man in black felt that the hot blood all over his body rushed to the top of his head at once, and all of a sudden it fell down, straight to the soles of his feet, and his whole body was cold.
An smiled and patted him on the shoulder, and said lightly: I see that your dagger is also extraordinary, go and pick it up.
The black-clothed man snorted coldly, turned around and rushed out, rushed into the distance, stopped again, and hissed: You-if you have a seed, wait for me for a year, and I will avenge this revenge in a year.
Antao: One year?
He slowly continued: You have a good natural capital, and the dagger is not weak, but it's a pity that your heart is too floating, too cautious, just now the thing in my arms is only a piece of bamboo, and you are too scared to make a move. It is a dagger that is chaotic but not pure, anxious but not violent, and too impatient to seek merit, is that once you meet an opponent stronger than you, you yourself will be in chaos first, in fact, if you can calm down, you may not be able to kill me today and avenge your brother. The man in black's eyes lit up, and before he could speak, An had already continued: But these four words are calm, it is not difficult to say, but it is not easy to do, so if you want to beat me, you must at least practice Qi for seven years first!
The black-clothed man had a blue and white face, and his fists were clenched loudly. Said angrily: You are young, what qualifications do you have to teach me to practice qi? I see that you are still a teenager before you are dry.
An smiled faintly and said: I was originally a teenager, you go, as long as I can take care of my heart, just come to me for revenge, seven years is not too long, not to mention a gentleman's revenge, ten years is not too late.
Heaven and earth were silent again, and the breeze still carried the fragrance of hibiscus flowers.
An stood stunned for a moment, shook his head, and strode towards Chengdu Mansion.
When I came to the city, it was already a child, the noisy street had calmed down, only the sound of gongs from the distance was heard from the watchman, and the low voice of the watchman: the sky is dry, be careful of the fire candles, the sky is dry, be careful of the fire candles...
An sighed, and said secretly, the matter of the flower thief will be put aside tonight, and go to the drunken moon building to find the shopkeeper first, so as not to send a killer over in the future. As he spoke, he jumped up and quickly walked towards the Drunken Moon Building in the streets and alleys.
Came to the front of the drunken moon building, An jumped over the front restaurant, and quietly came to the backyard, the backyard is surrounded by wings on three sides, and a small courtyard in the middle, an osmanthus stands outstanding, exuding a faint fragrance.
An was big for a while, and he didn't know where the shopkeeper's house was.
An rolled his eyes and walked towards the firewood room, where a chubby old man sat at the table and smoked dry tobacco, with a plate of peanuts, a plate of mixed cucumbers, and a pot of old wine on the table.
Ann knocked on the door, and without waiting for the old man to respond, she pushed the door and entered.
The old man was just about to sit up, but when he looked up, he saw that he was just a handsome young man, and he was drinking slowly.
An smiled and sat down opposite the old man, poured himself a glass, stretched out his fingers, pinched the wine glass, put it in front of his nose and sniffed it, and said softly: How many sad things in the world, they all laugh and talk about the wine glass. Then drink it all.
The old man took a sip of wine, took another puff of dry cigarette, spit it out gently, squinted his eyes, and said lightly: Young man, you are young, what is so sad?
Ann smiled and said: "The son is not me, and how do you know that I am not sad?
The old man looked at him deeply, drank his wine, and said no more.
Ann also poured himself cup after cup.
The strange two did not know each other, did not talk, and drank like this.
After a while, the old man said lightly: The wine has also been drunk by you, and I have nothing to say to you, if it is okay, I will rest.
Ann smiled and stood up, and said, "I have something to do with the shopkeeper."
The old man glanced at him and said lightly: Then you are in the wrong place, this is the firewood house.
An said lightly: I know this is a firewood house.
The old man said: Then you still don't leave?
Antao: But I found someone.
Old Man Dao: Who?
Antao: The shopkeeper.
The old man smiled: The shopkeeper is not here.
An smiled and said: The shopkeeper is here.
The old man said: Young man, I think you are talking drunk.
Antao: I'm not drunk.
The old man said: You are drunk, not only are you drunk, but you are also very drunk.
Andao: Some people are not drunk, but they want to pretend to be drunk, I am not drunk, but you insist on saying that I am drunk.
The old man smiled and said, "Okay, then you said that the shopkeeper is here, you can find out the shopkeeper."
Antao: You don't need to look for it, it's right in front of you.
The old man was stunned and smiled: You say I am the shopkeeper?
Antao: Exactly.
The old man seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, and he laughed back and forth, tears flowing.
quietly looked at the old man who couldn't stop laughing, and said lightly: Have you laughed enough?
The old man bent down and laughed: Not enough, not enough, and laughed again.
An said lightly: But I don't have time to wait for you to finish laughing, I still hurry back to sleep.
The old man smiled and said, "Then you can go back."
Antao: But I still have something to do.
The old man paused to laugh and said, "What's the matter?"
Slowly: Kill you.
