Chapter Twenty-Five: The Dark Tide Is Surging
Murong Yuxin was shocked to find that the masked man's right hand was like a hook to snatch his sword. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info took a diagonal step at the moment, sank the elbow and wrist, and the tip of the sword stabbed obliquely in the opponent's chest.
The masked man's right hand clenched into a fist, and he forcibly withdrew his strength, penetrating his feet, leaning back, and the blade of the sword slashed half a point away from his body. The whole action was clean and neat, without the slightest mud and water.
Murong Yuxin was secretly shocked in her heart, you must know that as soon as the strength of the move is fired, it will be like an arrow off the string, and the wild horse will be unreined, if you want to withdraw halfway to change the momentum, it will inevitably be stiff and avoid being strong, but the masked man in front of him is free to send and receive, swaying freely, and martial arts cultivation is really unfathomable.
With his thoughts, the edge of the Snow Shadow Sword in his hand was revealed, and the cold light was dazzling, and he had already stabbed out three swords in a row, transforming thousands of sword shadows to envelop the masked man.
The three black-clothed men who had besieged her earlier had withdrawn from the side when the masked man made a move, with a look of awe and flattery on their faces.
The light golden gloves worn by the masked man on his hands, I don't know what they weaved, but they were not afraid of swords and sharp weapons. He used his palm as a knife to resist and parry in the shadows of thousands of swords.
In the blink of an eye, he has won twenty or thirty moves.
The masked man suddenly attacked Murong Yuxin, the pony saw it clearly, he had fought with the masked man, naturally knew the stakes of the other party, and wanted to go to intercept it, but he was trapped by five people and couldn't get out.
I was anxious, and I couldn't help but shoot more quickly. Just repelled two steel knives, the judge's pen shrouded the key points behind him with lightning power, and the iron spear stabbed two ribs on the left and right.
The pony flew forward, the blade of the blade of the scabbard rising from the spear, and as it leaped through the air, the unicorn knife turned into a bolt of lightning and ran towards the masked man.
After dozens of moves, the masked man had gradually gained the upper hand, and the sharp blade came through the air, and he didn't look back, he raised his hand and grabbed the front end of the blade.
Looking back at the pony, his eyes were like arrows and knives, piercing people's hearts. With a flick of the knife in his hand, he flew back to the pony.
The pony unsheathed his knife in mid-air, and another somersault reached the masked man's side, striking the masked man on the cheek with a flick of his fist.
The masked man's eyes flickered with surprise, and he bent his arm and slammed his elbow into the pony's chest.
At that moment, the two of them were fists and feet, and they fought in close quarters.
As soon as the pony arrived, Murong Yuxin turned to fight with the man in black. The monk had already solved the sword, sword, hook and hammer, and reached the top of the ridge, and fought with the five people besieging the pony.
Warmth swept the formation, and the silver needle in his hand shot at the right time, knocking down three, Murong Yuxin picked three of them, and the monk stunned two more. At the top of the ridge, the pony and the masked man are left to fight each other.
Pony is becoming more and more surprised by this masked man, not because of the other party's super combat power, not only because the other party's martial arts routines are somewhat similar to his own, but also because of the clear eyes of this person hidden behind the mask. Eyes as bright as the brightest stars in the night sky.
He wondered what kind of face was behind the mask.
When the opponent carried him up and fell down with an over-the-shoulder fall, he ripped off the opponent's mask like electricity.
The masked man didn't expect this, and was stunned for a moment.
As it falls, the pony bends its knees slightly, and one of them spun straight up, looking at the Masked Man.
"Little Cold ......"
Shock, stunned, doubtful, excited, joyful, all kinds of feelings are entangled.
He felt his mind go blank for a moment, he couldn't breathe, and there were tears flashing in his eyes.
"You're still alive, great, great...... "Pony choked up, as if to say to herself.
The masked man was stunned at first when he was suddenly torn off his copper mask, and even more puzzled when he saw the pony's crying and smiling expression, but by this time, the man in black had been defeated, and there was no hope of victory today. Fu glanced at the pony again, and his figure flashed, and he floated away like a ghost.
The pony stood in place, forgetting to chase after him for a while.
Murong Yuxin and the three of them didn't know why Xiao Ma was so like this when he saw the masked man's true face, and when they saw him lose their minds for a while, they didn't bother him, but just walked over and stood quietly behind him.
After a long time, the pony came back to his senses, and when he saw the three of them standing quietly behind him, a warm current rose in his heart, and he said slightly apologetically: "It's really rude to make you wait for a long time, let's hurry as soon as possible." ”
Seeing Murong Yuxin's inquiring gaze, with a look of wanting to speak and stopping, Xiao Ma replied: "I know everyone has something to ask, but this is not something that can be said clearly in a few words, let's talk slowly in the town." ”
The monk said: "Then without further ado, hurry to the town and make a plan, the monk's wine worm has already scratched in his stomach." ”
So they went down the hill and went to the town.
The town is still peaceful and lively, with the shouting and noisy voices of pedestrians and vendors in the streets, the crowing of chickens, the cries of dogs, and the crying of babies.
It's no different than usual, at least on the surface.
But if you pay close attention, you will find that there have been many new faces here recently, and most of them are martial arts people.
The content of the conversation on the streets, alleys, restaurants and tea shops has also changed from short and gossip about right and wrong to gossip such as "There were two groups of people fighting in Dongzhi Street last night, and the scene was really tragic, with rivers of blood flowing and countless casualties." ”
"Have you heard, a few people were hacked to death in the back alley the night before yesterday, it seems to be called 'Xiangxi Six Tigers'. ”
"I went to fetch water early this morning, and I saw a person lying on the edge of the well, and thought it was to get water to drink, but after waiting for a long time there was no movement, I walked over to see it, this look, almost scared me to death, the man died early, the head and body are left with a little skin, the well water is red, and now I think about my legs and stomach are trembling. ”
"There are a lot of officers and soldiers in the town, do you know? I saw it with my own eyes on the road in front of the town. If I can have one, hehe, doesn't that girl from Widow Liu's family treat me as an uncle?"
......
And so on, and so on, under the calm, the dark tide is turbulent.
The pony knows that the news of the Red Fox Crate has spread all over the world, and many people have already arrived here. The recent bloodbaths, brawls, and murders should have happened to coincide with new and old grudges, or some gangs secretly eliminated dissidents for the treasure chest.
But no matter why, the town has inevitably become a slaughterhouse, and everyone faces the fate of being slaughtered or slaughtered.
The business of Fulin Restaurant is quite good, but the smile on the shopkeeper's face is a little weak. There are too many tourists in the rivers and lakes, which makes him a little worried. The rivers and lakes are reckless, no better than literati and businessmen, once he accidentally offends, he will ruin his wealth at the least, and lose his life at the worst, where can he laugh?
Seeing the four ponies coming in, and remembering the pony last time he had eaten, the shopkeeper finally smiled a little more naturally.
"The four masters, please, are the four of you eating or lodging. ”
The monk shouted: "You have to eat food, you have to sleep, you have to drink and eat, but you can take care of it, and leave four other rooms to come out." ”
The shopkeeper looked embarrassed and said: "Good wine and good food are naturally no problem, but this is the upper room, this upper room is ......."
Seeing this, Pony said, "If the shopkeeper has any difficulties, it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
"I don't know, there are more guests today, and these four upper rooms really can't be vacated. Now there are two double rooms left in the south, and if you don't want to be wronged, you can live in these two rooms. ”
"No!" Xiaoma was about to speak, and Murong Yuxin had already spoken first.
The pony knew that Murong Yuxin was worried. It is really inappropriate for a girl's family to share a room with a man, and it is really inappropriate to spread it.
So he said to her, "Miss Murong don't have to worry too much, just these two, one for you and one for the three of us." It's too late, I'm afraid there won't be any more. ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he hurriedly said: "Oh, you look at my old dizziness, I'm really confused." If the girl does not dislike it, she can go to my daughter's room in the backyard for a while, she went to her grandmother's house a few days ago and has not returned. ”
Murong Yuxin looked at the pony and said, "Thank you boss for your kindness, don't be so troublesome, just arrange for those two to go to the room for us." ”
The shopkeeper smiled and nodded, "Okay, okay, then who will pay the deposit first?"
When the pony heard this, he stretched out his hand into his arms, and then remembered that he had given all his silver taels to the old woman, and looked at the monk with a little embarrassment, and said, "I just remembered that the silver taels were given to the old man, monk, you should pay first." ”
When the monk heard this, he touched his bald head with his hand and said, "Monk, how much money do I have as a monk, don't you put it all in the old woman's cupboard?" Then he said to the warmth: "Scholar, take out the silver." ”
"I ...... Mine is all on the old man's stove. Warm whispered.
The three of them put their hopes on Murong Yuxin.
Murong Yuxin sighed and said helplessly, "It seems that we have all done the same thing." The implication is that there is no silver taels.
As soon as the shopkeeper saw this posture, the smile on his face disappeared, and he pulled down a fat face and was waiting to be evicted.
Murong Yuxin was silent for a while, and finally took out a jade pendant from her waist as if she had made up her mind.
