Chapter 32: Encountering the Shadows, the Past
The wind was still blowing fiercely, blowing Lin Yu's sideburns, revealing a cold face. At this time, there was no sound in the mountains and forests except the sound of the wind.
Lin Yu glanced at the sword in the hand of the man in black, his face sank, and he said coldly: "Who are you, how can the ruthless sword be in your hand?"
The man in black didn't answer, nor did he move, his two sharp eyes stared at the Qingfeng Sword in Lin Yu's hand, he knew that it was an extremely terrifying sword, and once it was unsheathed, it would drink human blood.
The wind blew the leaves and brushed them, and when a leaf fell in front of Lin Yu's eyes, the man in black finally moved, like a rabbit. The cold sword blade stabbed straight at Lin Yu with a thick murderous aura.
Lin Yu flashed in a hurry, the Qingfeng Sword quickly unsheathed, and the two swords immediately clashed together, and then a burst of sparks flashed, and the man in black immediately disappeared, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.
Lin Yu couldn't help but be shocked in his heart, this was the ninjutsu of the Dongying Iga faction, and it was hiding without a trace! It glanced around vigilantly, but still found no trace of the man in black.
Suddenly, Lin Yu felt a burst of cold killing intent coming from behind him, and the Qingfeng Sword immediately flew out like lightning.
"Bang!"
After a crisp weapon clash sounded, the man in black disappeared again. Glancing at the bloodstains on the ground, the corners of Lin Yu's mouth moved slightly, and he said secretly: "Who is this person, I have never heard of a person in the rivers and lakes who knows how to use the swordsmanship of the Dongying Iga faction." And he has been following him here, what is the purpose, which one of the East Factory and the Western Regions Demon Sect is the real mastermind behind the scenes?
The man in black had already been injured by his sword qi, but it was really not easy for Lin Yu to find him among the mountains and forests. I was worried about the safety of Zhou Xing and the others, so I gave up the idea of catching up.
By the time Lin Yu rushed back to where Liu Ziqing and the others were, they had disappeared, and there was no trace of a fight nearby. Just when he was puzzled in his heart, he suddenly caught a glimpse of the corpses of several Emei sect disciples in the grass, Yin Tang was black, his eyes were abrupt, and his face was hideous...... There was also a foul smell, and it seemed that he should have died of poison.
Seeing this scene, Lin Yu's heart immediately became confused, and he secretly screamed: "It's not good, Qing'er, something happened to them?"
The sky was gradually brightening, and the terrifying night had passed, but Lin Yu was still anxious.
"Little brother, seeing that you look so flustered, have you encountered something serious, come to me and drink a glass of water and wine to suppress the shock!"
A burst of laughter came from behind, which made Lin Yu feel shocked, here are barren mountains and mountains, bandits and bandits often haunt, but how can there be an inn here?"
Lin Yu turned around lightly and saw that it was an old man with gray hair, with kind eyebrows. I saw that although his body was tough, he didn't look like a martial artist at all.
Lin Yu pondered for a moment, then arched his hand and said, "Old man, have you seen a few young men and women passing by here?"
The old man stroked his silver-white beard and said with a faint smile: "At the fifth watch, there were some people who escorted a few men and women passing by here, I wonder if it is the person you are looking for, little brother?"
Hearing this, Lin Yu hurriedly asked, "Old man, may I ask which direction they are going?"
The old man smiled faintly and said, "Little brother, come to the cold house to drink a glass of water and wine, and I will tell you in detail, even if you go to Hei Wushan to save people, you have to have the strength to go!"
Although Lin Yu was anxious, he still nodded lightly and said, "That's fine, it just so happens that I haven't eaten for a day." "This old man is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, he may be able to find clues about Qing'er and others here, and by the way, he can also touch the bottom of Black Tiger Mountain.
It was a very simple thatched hut with only three shabby tables and a few chairs, a large wine barrel in the corner, and a few strings of dried meat, not beef or pork, hanging on the wall...... What kind of meat it is, Lin Yu can't say clearly.
"Little brother, what do you want to eat?" asked the old man with a smile.
"One pound of beef, two pounds of wine, and two steamed buns!" Lin Yu immediately responded.
"Little brother, I'm really sorry, there is no beef in the shop?" the old man replied with a smile.
"Then uncle, let's get something if you have anything!"
"Okay, you can wait a minute, just a moment. The old man took a string of dried meat from the wall and replied with a smile.
Lin Yu glanced in the direction of the Black House Mountain outside the house and asked, "Uncle, here is a wilderness, and bandits and bandits often haunt it. Whose business are you doing when you set up shop here?"
The old man replied with a smile: "Do the business of the mountain people!"
Lin Yu was taken aback and said in amazement: "You mean that the people who come to eat here are some bandits and bandits!"
The old man nodded and said, "The little brother is really smart!"
"But ......"
"Little brother, there are not so many things on this shijie, but if you are a human being, you need to eat, and the bandits and bandits are also human beings, so naturally they all need to eat. The old man replied while he was busy.
"Uncle, do you know this Black Tiger Mountain?" Lin Yu asked tentatively.
The old man smiled faintly and said, "I've been here for almost a lifetime, how can I not know it!"
"Oh, can you tell me about it?"
The old man cleared his throat, pondered for a moment, and said: "There was originally a village here, although the villagers were not rich, they all respected and loved each other, and their lives were naturally very happy.
One of them is a young man who is a tiger, one night twenty-three years ago, he just passed his eighteenth birthday, that night is also the day of his wedding, the bride is the girl next door, called Qing'er, they have grown up together since childhood, it can be said that they are childhood sweethearts, and the two have no guesses.
But Huzi also has a brother named Gouzi, who also likes Qing'er, so he has a grudge against Huzi, and that night he drugged the meal and forcibly ruined Qing'er in front of Huzi. Then Qing'er committed suicide in shame, and the dog fled to the mountains to become a bandit.
Huzi's temperament has changed dramatically since then, and he took a big knife and went straight to the bandit's lair alone, and Zuihou heard that the bandit had fallen off the cliff.
The village was soon ransacked by the bandits, and everyone but me died, all dead......" At this point, the old man's expression was extremely sad.
After a while, he continued: "Five years later, Huzi suddenly came back, and another person killed the mountain, only this time, all the bandits were killed by him. The thieves of the other mountains saw that his martial arts were very powerful, and they all defected to him one after another, forming the largest mountain in a radius of thousands of miles, Black Tiger Mountain. ”
After Lin Yu listened, he couldn't help muttering in his heart: So that's the case, it seems that the tiger didn't die after falling off the cliff, but was a blessing in disguise, and inadvertently discovered the peerless martial arts secrets, and came back to take revenge after practicing.
Lin Yu saw that the old man's expression was a little gloomy, and he wanted to ask something more, but at this moment, he suddenly heard a loud shout from outside the door: "Uncle Zhao, if you have any good wine and food, you can quickly bring it up, and after running in the mountains and forests for a day, you are almost starving to death!"
