Chapter 212: Outwitting the White Tiger (7)
Entering the village, Xiong Qiang found a family, there were only two old people in the family, the old man was in his sixties, and his surname was Chen. www.biquge.info He had a son, named Chen Ergou, who went into the mountains to hunt with the other hunters in the village.
Xia Peony gave Chen Laohan and his family five taels of silver, saying that they were going to live here for a few days, and the old couple were honest people.
Living here, Xiong Qiang's nerves, which had been tense, were also relaxed, but for a person like him who licked blood from the knife all year round, the sudden stability was a little unaccustomed.
The pitch-black curtain is covered with diamond stars, shining brightly. The wind that blew in the face, with a faint coolness. Xiong Qiang couldn't sleep, so he didn't insist, sitting quietly in the courtyard alone, feeling the silence of the night.
"Brother Qiang, in the future, we will build a small thatched hut between the mountains and forests, you go to cultivate the fields during the day, I will raise chickens, I will bring you food at noon, and I will help you rub your shoulders at night......" The sweet and glutinous voice sounded in the depths of Xiong Qiang's mind, and he thought of Bai Lan, who was a little thin but always had a smile on his face.
Once, this was the long-cherished wish of his and Bai Lan's life, and now, he is sitting in such a small courtyard, but the person who wants to bring him food and rub his shoulders will never be seen again.
This is not a luxury for ordinary people, but for Xiong Qiang and Bai Lan, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky. Thinking of the scene between him and Bai Lan in Jiudao Villa, Xiong Qiang's eyes were full of tears, and the tears burst to the ground, and two lines of clear tears slid down.
Reminiscing about the past, I heard the sound of heaven the next day. Now, that figure, that voice, can only be in the depths of his soul forever.
"What's wrong?"
The sound swept into the eardrum, disturbing Xiong Qiang's worries, wiping away his tears, Xiong Qiang didn't explain too much: "It's nothing!"
Xia Peony walked over slowly, her clothes fluttering, and a trace of coldness regained in her eyes, she sat down side by side with Xiong Qiang, sighed slightly, and just said, "Do you think of anyone?"
Xiong Qiang didn't answer, he picked up a piece of grass and wrapped it between his fingers, he has always been haunted by Bai Lan's death, although many years have passed, he still can't forget it. In the past, he had always tensed his nerves, beware of those unknown dangers, and maybe he didn't feel anything, but when he suddenly settled down, he found that the original figure had always occupied his heart, especially in this quiet mountain dwelling, this feeling was even stronger.
"Qizhi does not disturb the dreams of mediocre people! This way to shuttle in the shadow of the sword and sword, I wander in the deceit, now it is rare to be idle, it is time to return to the truth, so, don't care about my existence. Xia Peony said comfortingly.
"I don't have great ambitions, nor do I have too high expectations, I just want to be a mediocre person, plain, true, between such mountains and wilderness, build a hut, and guard the people I love for a lifetime. It's a pity that it's just such a simple wish, and this god won't give me a chance. Xiong Qiang thought so in his heart, but he didn't tell Xia Peony, this was a hidden pain in his heart, and he didn't want to tell outsiders easily.
"Has your enemy been found?" Xiong asked rhetorically.
Xia Peony was silent and shook her head.
"It is said that in the battle of Wumeng Valley back then, the masters were like clouds, and the tragedy was abnormal, could there be any people among those masters who used the Liuying technique?" Xia Peony asked, it seems that this hatred has become an obsession in her heart, this question, she will ask almost everyone.
Xiong Qiang also shook his head, and then added: "I mean, I don't know what the Liuying technique is. ”
Xia Peony introduced the Liuying technique, and after Xiong Qiang heard that the so-called Liuying technique was a hidden weapon technique, Xiong Qiang's mind suddenly thought of something, and he was surprised and said, "You mean that you can cast sixty-four hidden weapons with your bare hands?"
"Have you seen it?" Xia Peony's eyes suddenly brightened a lot, and her beautiful eyes were full of anticipation.
"I don't know if it's called Liuying's technique, but I've seen a master of hidden weapons. Although this person cannot cast sixty-four hidden weapons at the same time, he can cast thirty-two or more. Xiong Qiang said.
"Where?"
"It's in Jining!" Xiong Qiang said, what he said was the mysterious person who first used Xiaoyaozi's identity to trap Tang Tong, and then fought him as Tang Tong, and finally killed Tang Tong in front of him.
In the Jinyu Restaurant that day, the mysterious man disguised himself as Tang Tong and fought with Xiong Qiang, and in the process of their fight, the mysterious man had used a clever secret weapon technique, but at that time, the mysterious man did not exert all his strength in order to create an illusion for Xiong Qiang. But it was under such circumstances that he even shot out thirty-two hidden weapons with his bare hands, which shows that this mysterious man's secret weapon technique is clever.
"Who is that mysterious person?" asked Xia Peony.
Xiong Qiang shook his head, although he had always suspected that it was Tang Qi, but he had never found evidence.
Xia Peony was a little disappointed, and her blazing eyes also dimmed, originally she thought she had some eyebrows, but it seemed that the clue was broken again.
"According to what my master said, the person who killed your master Wumei Shitai is called Yun Zhongyue, and he used to be the second highest ranked master in the killer list, can you tell me about him?" asked Xiong Qiang.
Xia Peony said: "Since I saw Yun Zhongyue once outside Daba Mountain, he seems to have evaporated from the world, and he has never appeared in the rivers and lakes again. But I know that this person is definitely still active in the rivers and lakes, but this person has too many means, and it is too difficult to find him. ”
"Why do you always think that he is active in the rivers and lakes? It is said that not only are you looking for him, but also the third killer in the rivers and lakes, Sikong Xingxing, is also looking for him, if he is really active in the rivers and lakes, I believe that it is not difficult to find him with a master like Sikong Xingxing. ”
Xia Peony shook her head with a wry smile, and when she heard Xiong Qiang talk about Sikong Picking Stars, her face showed a hint of disdain, and she didn't answer Xiong Qiang directly, but asked with a playful voice: "Then what kind of person is Sikong Picking Stars in your eyes?"
Xiong Qiang was stunned, he had only heard of the name of Sikong Xingxing, and had not seen him, which was not to blame him, after all, from childhood to adulthood, the scope of his activities was only in Shandong, and the things he had experienced and the people he had seen were limited. Now seeing Xia Peony's expression, he also has a trace of doubts about the strength of the killer Sikong Xingxing, who ranks third in the Jianghu killer list, but no matter how Xia Peony despises Sikong Xingxing, he doesn't dare to underestimate this person too much, after all, his name is ranked there, if it is not for some special means, it is impossible to rank so high.
Seeing that Xiong Qiang was silent, Xia Peony explained: "Sikong Xingxing has always been arrogant, but his light body kung fu is really good, that body of fish and dragon transformation method is indeed superior, and those who can stand out in the rivers and lakes are probably those who are at the top level, such as Qiankun Yue Buju in his sleeves, Killing God Ba Snake, Spicy Silver Gun Nangong Fei and so on.
But that's all there is to it, his martial arts can only be described as mediocre. So although he has been clamoring to challenge Yun Zhongyue, a character like Yun Zhongyue, who is outstanding in all aspects, may not want to avoid him, but not put him in his eyes at all. ”
"Oh, but for your description, I still can't clearly guess the strength of Sikong Xingxing, so let's say that! If you fight against Sikong Xingxing, what will be the result?" Xiong Qiang said.
