Chapter 8: The Crescent Hermit (Part II)
The distance of twenty zhang in the dark night is already the limit of his eyesight, Zhu Yushi can only see Ling Xudu's vague shadow, if he is pulled away by five zhang, he will not be able to see anything, and this competition will be lost. Pen, Fun, Pavilion www.biquge.info They have already traveled forty miles, and they have to grit their teeth to hold on to everything in the last ten miles. However, Ling Xudu's speed did not decrease at all, and Zhu Yushi tried his best to still find it difficult to close the distance, thinking that Ling Xudu had not only not been wasted in the past two years, but also had better than Yanjing.
When there was only the last mile left, Zhu Yushi was finally pulled away twenty-five zhang, and it was difficult to see Ling Xudu's back again. He rushed out of another section, and when he saw that there was no hope of catching up, he stopped, looked up to the sky and sighed, thinking that he had lost in the end.
Ling Xudu actually stopped, hiding in the dark place below the hill to look at him. Zhu Yushi sat on the ground and smiled bitterly, and said: "The seniors are very skillful, and they are convinced to lose." Ling Xudu stared at him for a while, and suddenly sighed: "It was you who won, and it was me who lost." Zhu Yushi said: "Losing is losing, and seniors don't have to be humble." Ling Xudu shook his head and said, "I didn't give in. Have you forgotten that you still have a bag of gold and silver on your back? That burden weighs more than a dozen pounds, to say the least, if you hadn't carried it, I wouldn't have thrown it off in the last few miles, so it was me who lost. Zhu Yushi was stunned, and suddenly said: "Could it be that the seniors are just light work in the school examination, and they don't really want to be embarrassed." ”
Ling Xudu crossed out of the darkness, a smile appeared on his cold and pale face, and said, "I just want to force you to go all out. Now that I am aiming for the city, take this whip away. As he spoke, he took off a snakeskin whip from his waist and threw it to Zhu Yushi. Zhu Yushi took the long whip, judging from the number of circles it wound, it was at least twelve feet long, and it was full of weight in his hand. Ling Xudu said: "This depends on the person, if you are a traitor, I will try something light with you." Zhu Yushi put away the long whip and said, "Thank you seniors for your success." Ling Xudu suddenly said, "What is the relationship between you and Jiang Feiyan?"
Zhu Yushi knew that he saw the clues from his own body, and hesitated in his heart whether he should confide the truth, and if he admitted it, his identity would be exposed. Ling Xudu said: "Jiang Feiyan is the only one who is better than me in light skills, and I am deeply impressed by his 'Ling Xiao Qingyun Step', so as soon as I look at your body, I know that you have a deep relationship with him." Zhu Yushi thought that Ling Xudu was a real chivalrous warrior, and he had a deep blood feud with the Ma Gang, and told him that he would not expose himself, so he said: "Jiang Feiyan is the teacher under him, and I am also taught by him." Ling Xudu said: "I remember that Jiang Feiyan only accepted an apprentice surnamed Zhu during his lifetime, and he was a young man in his early twenties, but it was not you. Zhu Yushi immediately took off the human skin mask, and the skin that had not been exposed to the wind for a long time suddenly felt extremely refreshing, and said with a smile: "When Zhu Yu was down, he had to hide his identity in the tiger's den, and now he has officially met his predecessors." "Bow to the end.
Ling Xudu's eyes lit up, and he said in surprise: "It's such a realistic mask, it's just a different person, can you lend me a look." Zhu Yushi smiled: "Of course." He immediately handed over the human skin mask. Ling Xudu took it in his hand and gently stroked the leather and hair of the mask, and said in disbelief: "I thought that my disguise technique and light skills were rare in the world, but I didn't expect this mask to be so exquisitely made, my disguise technique is really clumsy, but I don't know who the master who made this mask is, and he has such a pair of skillful hands." Zhu Yushi sighed: "His name is Gao Xuan, and he was originally a hall master of my Blood Sword Castle, but unfortunately he went astray and is no longer alive." Ling Xudu sighed: "It's a pity, then this human skin mask has not become a unique product." Zhu Yushi said: "It's not a unique product, there are a few more, but they have been photographed before, and they can't be used anymore." Ling Xudu returned the human skin mask to him and said, "I don't like to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, I like to study some new and strange things, if I have the opportunity to give me a mask in the future, I want to imitate it." Zhu Yushi said happily: "No problem, when the seniors go to Chang'an with me, I will give you one." ”
Ling Xudu said: "I heard that your Blood Knife Castle has been gaining momentum recently, and it is the time to employ people, why did you come here." Zhu Yushi put on the human skin mask again and sighed: "This matter is a long story, the seniors are not outsiders, and they should tell the truth below." "Now tell the story of He Yuelian's murder. Ling Xudu sighed after hearing this: "Good people don't live long these days, and it is difficult for lovers to become dependents." and chivalrous warriors like Jiang Feiyan also ended up committing suicide. Zhu Yushi gritted his teeth and said: "This is all caused by Lin Lingsu and Song Lianfeng, I vow to kill these two to avenge my master and Yuelian." Ling Xudu said: "Our goals are exactly the same, you must also know that my family members were killed by the horse gang, but poor my sister is only sixteen years old and not married yet... Ay... I'm going to spend the rest of my life fighting with the caravan to the end. ”
Zhu Yushi thought for a while and said, "My predecessor knows so much about what I've done, could it be that I've already mixed into the horse gang?" Ling Xudu nodded and said, "Not bad." The caravan is always recruiting, and it's easy to get in. None of them have seen me for who I am, and I don't even have to use a disguise technique. Zhu Yushi said: "I see, what are the seniors doing now?" Ling Xudu smiled: "I have been in the Huangxing Hall for three months, becoming a centurion, and when you become the deputy hall master, I will still be your subordinate." Tong Lanshan failed to encircle and suppress me several times, who knew that I was also a member of the encirclement and suppression, and I killed a few people from the horse gang by virtue of my identity, but I couldn't find any clues at all. Zhu Yushi said: "We are all hated by Tong Lanshan, no wonder she asked me to deal with my seniors, so that we can kill each other, no matter which side we lose, she is the one who gains." Ling Xudu said: "Actually, I was also among the one hundred and fifty people who went to Zhu's house last time, I pretended to be injured in the fog and didn't fight you, but I saw that your light skills were exactly the same as Jiang Feiyan, so I had the idea of competing with you." ”
Zhu Yushi suddenly said: "So that's the case." Ling Xudu said: "After Zhuo Xinghai was defeated, they began to calculate you, but I can't help it, I just hope you are safe and sound." I know that you have a good character and are a good man, so I pay attention to you as soon as I go up the mountain, including you sneaking down the mountain, and I will follow behind. Seeing that you went up to my crescent moon mountain with your burden, you have already guessed that the name they gave you is to kill me, so you showed up. Zhu Yushi said happily: "I thought it would be difficult to sing alone on the mountain, but now it's great to have seniors as helpers." Ling Xudu smiled: "Each other." Now that it's almost dawn, I'm going to hurry back so as not to arouse suspicion. Zhu Yushi said: "Please go first." Ling Xudu said: "Be careful, Tong Lanshan's mother-in-law hates you so much, and she will definitely try her best to kill you." Zhu Yushi said: "Yes, I will be careful." Ling Xudu unfolded his body and swept down the hill like an arrow from a string, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
At this time, the sky was white with dew, and the gray sky was like the eyes of a blind man. Birds chirped and insects chirped in the mountains and forests, and the earth was full of life. Zhu Yushi was happy in his heart and walked back. The mountain road is wet and tidal, and the stream is pleasant. The mist floats in the distance, ethereal and distant.
A hurried sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the early morning, and Zhu Yushi sighed secretly, already guessing who was coming. I saw Tong Lanshan surrounded him with fifty gangsters, among whom Xiong was not injured and nodded and smiled at him. Zhu Yushi said with a smile: "I know the way up the mountain, so I don't need my wife and the master of the bear hall to pick it up in person." Tong Lanshan raised her whip and said coldly: "Where did you sneakily go last night? Why didn't you come back until now?" Zhu Yushi said: "I don't dare to delay, so I went to find Ling Xudu." Tong Lanshan sneered: "You are positive. I can give you two more days, and then I won't be able to get a petition, and I'll blame me for not being polite. And you have to greet me when you go down the mountain in the future, and if you are so sneaky, you will be punished as a deserter. Zhu Yushi said: "You should remember in the next decision, but you have already found Ling Xudu in the next place, not only killed him, but also took back his long whip." Tong Lanshan and Xiong Bushu glanced at each other, and their faces showed shock. (To be continued.) )
