Chapter 8 Two Tigers Fight
Since the flying hammer Benyu killed the Huns, Jing Tianming and the three of them lost the clue to track the treasure knife, and there was no mount, so they had nothing to do for a while, so they had to turn to the south and retreat to Yunzhong County, find an inn to live temporarily, rest and recuperate, and think about it in the long run.
On this day, after dinner, the three of them chatted and came to a clearing outside the forest, sat on the turf, gossiped and talked, and before they knew it, there was no sound, and for a long time, the three of them were silent, just sitting quietly and watching the moon.
Under the bright moonlight, Xiang Yu kept thinking about what to do next.
Calculate, since the three of them left Handan, more than half a year has passed unconsciously, he remembered the personnel he saw along the way, although the flying hammer was strong in martial arts and brave, and the three of them almost lost their lives, but Xiang Yu felt even more admiration for the Great Jianjun Meng Tian, and when he remembered the beautiful battle of those Qin soldiers lined up, all kneeling down and shouting "I have seen the great general", Xiang Yu felt that his blood was galloping, and he was full of envy. He couldn't help but begin to fantasize that he had obtained the Cold Moon Frost Knife, calling on the heroes of the world with its might, and taking Jing Tianming by his side to break through a beautiful scene of the country together.
However, at this moment, in Jing Tianming's mind, what he was thinking about over and over again was just a sword move. These days, he kept thinking back to the last sword he had struck at Benyu. I couldn't figure it out in my heart, no matter how I thought about it, I felt that what I was using should be the second form of the three flying sword styles "one hundred", why did Ben Yu say that it was the "Taicang Yisu" of the eight-move "Hundred Steps Flying Sword"?
Jing Tianming kept thinking back to the eight moves "Hundred Steps Flying Sword" that Gai Nie had practiced before leaving, and he had an excellent memory, and after more than half a year, he still remembered every move and style in his mind. "Taicang Yisu" is the first move of "Hundred Steps Flying Sword", but no matter how he thinks about it, he doesn't feel that he is using this move.
Jing Tianming sighed and thought to himself, "In order to gamble at the beginning, I followed Master's wishes and didn't learn the [Sitting and Forgetting Heart Method] first, so I didn't practice these eight moves [Hundred Steps Flying Sword], but now, I'm afraid I can't manage so much. 」
Thinking of this, he got up from the grass and walked to the side, took out the Qingshuang Sword, hung the silver chain that Gai Nie had left for him, and then raised the long sword high, rubbed a semicircle with his left foot on the ground, and began to try to rehearse the eight moves in his mind "Hundred Steps Flying Sword" from beginning to end.
Jing Tianming immediately found that many actions were thought out clearly in his mind, but he couldn't do anything when he made them, and there was no one to guide him, so he had to keep thinking about it repeatedly.
Gao Yue sat aside and watched for a long time, and couldn't help but speak, "Stinky buns, your injuries have only been around for a short time, why are you so serious?"
Jing Tianming stopped his movements and replied, "I haven't been able to figure out how I knocked down Ben Yu, but if I practice, I may understand. 」
Xiang Yu suddenly jumped up from the grass when he heard this, and said to Jing Tianming, "Okay! You practice swords here, I'll go around and see if I can find one or two horses." Now that you've healed from your injuries, I think it's time for us to get back on our roads. 」
Gao Yue asked in surprise, "On the road, where are you going?"
Xiang Yu replied: "I have inquired about it in the past few days, and I have a little knowledge of where several Huns are stationed. 」
Gao Yue frowned and said, "It's only been long since the stinky bun's injury, and I advised him not to worry, but you added fuel to the fire. 」
Xiang Yu smiled and said, "How can you not be in a hurry, little beggar, we are not like you, we take risks to play, and we are carefree all day long. 」
Gao Yue pursed her lips and said, "Who said that I am carefree, I also have my own thoughts, but you don't know. 」
Xiang Yu laughed and said, "What else can you worry about?" Bacheng is worried, should you eat dumplings or noodles for the next meal?" Before he finished speaking, Gao Yue had already grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it at him, Xiang Yu laughed and dodged away, turned around and left.
Jing Tianming regained his mind, held the Qingshuang Sword, and practiced again. Gao Yue sighed secretly at Xiang Yu's back as he walked away.
Because he has been begging for a living since he was a child, Gao Yue has always been extremely sensitive to people, and he is good at observing words and feelings, and even Xiang Yu's growing ambition in his heart, he has not yet clearly understood it, but Gao Yue has already noticed it. At the same time, Jing Tianming was stunned, he would practice his sword with his head bored, and he would only try his best to protect the two of them along the way, so he didn't think much about anything else.
Looking at Jing Tianming, who was concentrating on sword practice, Gao Yue couldn't help but show a look of envy, thinking that he had suffered many dangers on this trip, he had no way to protect himself at all, and he had become a burden to others, Gao Yue really felt angry and disappointed in himself. She sat down on the grass, grabbed a handful of weeds, threw it down with a bit of boredom, and looked up at the moon with her knees folded.
"If only we could keep going like this. Gao Yue thought silently.
I don't know why, Gao Yue always felt a faint sense of unease, she was worried about Xiang Yu and Jing Tianming, but she couldn't say what she was worried about, she just felt that the happy days of the three of them like this now seemed to be unaware of when they would suddenly disappear.
However, Xiang Yu never noticed all these things, and Jing Tianming never noticed that on the surface, Gao Yue still seemed to be a lively little girl, as if she didn't care about anything.
She sat quietly in the moonlight, and didn't make any more noises to disturb Jing Tianming, until Jing Tianming had practiced enough and stopped moving, then she jumped up and patted her ass with a smile, and returned to the inn with Jing Tianming.
Xiang Yu had been waiting inside for a long time, and when he saw them coming back, he was about to say hello happily, but he saw Jing Tianming shaking his head, signaling with his eyes, and silently walked upstairs and into the room. Xiang Yu and Gao Yue followed up for some reason, Jing Tianming hurriedly closed the door and muttered, "Strange, why is he here too?"
"Who?" Xiang Yu and Gao Yue asked in unison.
Jing Tianming glanced at the door and whispered, "There is a middle-aged man downstairs, wearing a crown scarf and a feather fan. 」
Gao Yue looked down through the crack in the window, and sure enough, he saw a middle-aged man with a narrow nose and thin lips, a goatee, and a gloomy face sitting in the corner.
"This person's name is Ram Yu, and he is Aunt Rong's fellow brother. At that time, in order to save Ah Yue, I went to Shendu Mountain, and happened to bump into his master, which made Brother Mao Yu helpless, so I went with me to find Aunt Rong. Jing Tianming said suspiciously: "The Ram Imperial Master inherited the Nine Palaces of the Divine Capital, but he became the National Teacher of the Qin State, and for some reason he appeared here again?"
"Since the Qin State General Meng Tian will appear in this northern land, it is not uncommon for the Qin State National Teacher to be here. Xiang Yu said excitedly, "In my opinion, eighty percent of him is also here for the Cold Moon Frost Knife. I just heard it, and not long after the man arrived, he asked the shopkeeper if there was a land temple nearby. Tianming, this is really nowhere to find the iron shoes, and it takes no effort to get it. 」
Speaking of this, Gao Yue, who was lying on the window, suddenly called in a low voice: "Don't say it again, people are leaving." 」
When Jing Tianming heard this, he immediately took the Qingshuang Sword and said, "Let's go, let's go and have a look." 」
The three of them set off at this point, quietly following behind the ram, out of the inn, passing through the meadow, and not long after entering a forest.
At this moment, the night is deep, and the moonlight flickers between the trees, and the surrounding trees are reflected in the shadows of the trees, and the atmosphere is gloomy.
Gao Yue has been afraid of ghosts since she was a child, and she couldn't help but get close to Jing Tianming, clutching his clothes tightly, just staring at his feet, and walking forward, but his mind suddenly appeared that they were still young, and the three of them, together with Liu Bi, met at night to break into the haunted house, remembering that they were really teased by Duanmu Rong at that time, Gao Yue pursed her lips and almost didn't laugh out loud, Jing Tianming and Xiang Yu glanced at each other and smiled, obviously remembering childhood memories.
The three of them followed the ram feather around in the darkness, and they didn't know how long they walked, and the sound of fighting gradually came from the front, the ram Yu stopped, dodged behind a big tree, Jing Tianming and the three glanced at each other, and quietly squatted down in the nearby grass.
I saw that in front of the Ram Palace, in a small clearing surrounded by trees, it was the Flying Hammer Benyu who had been defeated under Jing Tianming's sword, and there were two people standing in front of him, saying that it was two people, but it looked like one.
A tall man without arms, carrying a big fat man without legs on his shoulders, the tall man replaced the original two arms with two long iron chains, and the big fat man waved a pair of gourd hammers in his hands.
They were originally killers of the Qin State, and they were ordered to hunt down Jing Tianming, but they failed to succeed for many years, but they didn't expect to appear here. At this time, the two immortals of the turtle and snake and the three of them were coming and going, fighting inextricably, sweating profusely, and there were colors on their bodies, obviously they had been fighting for a long time.
Gui Shanxiang sat on She Hai Harrier's shoulder, shouting as she played, "Don't think that you have a big hammer, you have a big hammer, you have to be bigger, I can match two of you with one belly!"
The She Sea Harrier at the bottom suddenly made a slanted shoulder movement, and made a move to "turn over the river and the sea", and instantly sent Gui Shanxiang out on his shoulder, Gui Shanxiang turned a pair of golden gourd hammers, and laughed while flying towards Ben Yu: "See, my belly can still fly!"
She Hai Harrier's body turned with the momentum, and he spun his waist and threw out two iron chains, one swept towards the lower plate of Benyu, and the other went up, trapping the chubby Guishan Xiang.
Ben Yu put away his legs and jumped upward, avoided the iron chain, and his hand was not idle, a flying hammer blocked Gui Shanxiang's attack left and right, and the other flying hammer went to Gui Shanxiang's stomach, the huge hammer had not touched Gui Shanxiang, Gui Shanxiang had already given She Hai Harrier's iron chain back, and his round body rolled several times in the air like a spinning top, and he withdrew the iron chain on his body, and sat back on She Hai Harrier's shoulder in a blink of an eye, his butt was not yet sitting, Ben Yu had already forced forward, one arm was raised high, and the other arm was pulled outward, so he saw two giant hammers in his hand swinging at the same time, one towards the top door of She Sea Harrier smashing obliquely, and one inward hitting She Sea Harrier's waist, the momentum is like Mount Tai pressing the top, the raptor crossing the river.
She Hai Harrier hurriedly bent down and lowered his head and took three steps back, avoiding the upper and lower two giant hammers, and Gui Shanxiang shouted, "Oh, why is it suddenly cool under my buttocks?" Said and did not forget to swing out two gourd hammers to dial the giant hammer, although he used the strength of two arms to block Ben Yu's one-arm attack, but the strength of Ben Yu is really amazing, plus the bottom is empty, there is no She Sea Harrier's shoulder to sit, Gui Shan Xiang simply borrowed strength, two gourd hammers sandwiched a giant hammer of Ben Yu, the body fell down, and on the other hand, he wanted to pull down the giant hammer of Ben Yu, and he couldn't stop shouting: "The dumplings are about to go to the pot!
She Hai Harrier had just avoided Ben Yu's attack, and before he had time to look up, he threw out the iron chain to pick up Gui Shanxiang when he heard the sound, and he actually firmly encased Gui Shanxiang's body impartially.
Ben Yu couldn't make a move, the giant hammer in his right hand was tightly hooked again, and he was about to get rid of it, so he hurriedly picked up another giant hammer and smashed it towards Gui Shanxiang, Gui Shanxiang was no longer entangled, and the chubby body was just a moment before the landing, which happened to make She Hai Harrier roll back again, and Jing Tianming applauded loudly in his heart, and secretly praised: "Although it is not easy for a person to fight alone, it is not too difficult to fight beautifully, but it is rare for the two to join forces to fight beautifully. 」
Although the two immortals of the turtle and snake had been defeated by Wei Zhuang and Gai Nie swords, and that Ben Yu could be regarded as a defeated general under Jing Tianming, both sides have always been well-known in the rivers and lakes.
Jing Tianming couldn't take his eyes off it, and he didn't dare to take a breath in the atmosphere, but he felt that the two immortals of the turtle and snake had strange moves, and the tacit understanding was even more impressive. Thanks to his unmatched strength, he was able to draw with the opponent one-on-two.
Because the two immortals of the turtle and snake made a pair of long iron chains, and the two giant hammers of Ben Yu are known as "flying hammers", the two sides are not good at hand-to-hand combat, at this time, they are stuck in a small clearing in the woods, you come and go, Ben Yu never dares to throw the two giant hammers out of his hand, and the two immortals of the turtle and snake are also extremely difficult, but they each do their best, and they are all capable of each other's lives.
Xiang Yu admired the brotherhood of the two immortals in his heart, and couldn't help but secretly hope that they would win; Gao Yue had an inexplicable sense of affection for the "big stupid bear" in his mouth, and really didn't want to see him lose; Jing Tianming thought, "If it goes on like this, it will inevitably hurt both sides, if only anyone was willing to stop first." 」
Sure enough, the fight was endless, and after a long time, both sides gradually seemed a little powerless.
Gui Shanxiang originally enjoyed the fight, applauding again and again, and then couldn't help but start shouting for both sides to stop, but Ben Yu refused to stop, Gui Shanxiang couldn't help but scolded: "You big stupid cow! You didn't win for a long time, we didn't lose, and then no one could kill anyone, everyone was tired to death, what's the fun?"
Scolding and scolding, his hands were not idle, but while fighting, he still couldn't help screaming, Ben Yu opened his mouth and replied: "You don't want the Cold Moon Frost Knife, everyone will stop here, if you still want to take the Cold Moon Frost Knife, you can only kill me first!"
Gui Shanxiang scolded again: "It turns out that I just said something wrong, you are not a cow, you are a pig! You didn't win after fighting for a long time, and we didn't lose, everyone is evenly divided, why should the treasure knife be given to you? If you are kind and kind to beg us brothers, after we get the treasure knife, maybe we will consider letting you play a few times, and now you want to beat us away with the fight, are you really afraid that you will not succeed?"
She Hai Harrier replied, "Okay!"
Gui Shanxiang shook her head and said with a sad face, "Okay, okay, just fight." It seems that we two brothers have to fight in this place today with this cow until we are exhausted!"
She Hai Harrier said, "It's good to meet your opponent in chess!
Gui Shanxiang laughed when she heard this, and said, "Okay! Then don't drag it out any longer, if you drag it out any longer, I will only have the strength to fight flies." Old snake, let's send fairy peaches!"
As soon as the words were finished, She Haihari shook his shoulders and sent a fat round Guishan Xiang out, and at the same time, the two iron chain brushes pulled a stroke, throwing out a big circle left and right, and surrounded Ben Yu Tuantuan, it seems that he is not going to bring Guishan Xiang back.
This trick "send fairy peaches, welcome music", is the turtle and snake two immortals to fight and the opponent jade and stone of the last killing move, over the years only used once when fighting with Gai Nie, at that time only because Gai Nie was unwilling to take the lives of the two, they were able to make a move and still live, and now they are fighting to the death with Ben Yu, seeing that this is the last blow in their lives.
I saw Gui Shanxiang dancing with a golden gourd hammer and rushing towards Ben Yu, shouting in his mouth: "Old snake, you have carried me for most of my life, and I will carry you in the next life!"
She Hai Harrier shouted, "See you in the next life!" and rushed straight towards Benyu.
Who knew that in the face of the attack of the turtle and snake two immortals, Ben Yu did not dodge, raised his arms high, and finally smashed out the two giant hammers that had not been shot, as if he was also desperate to die with his opponent.
Two gourd hammers against a flying hammer, clanged loudly, Gui Shanxiang instantly played high, for a while five times tossed, and then watched another flying hammer, smashing the She Sea Harrier on the spot.
Gui Shanxiang cried loudly in mid-air, "Old snake, old snake, you wait for me!" and then slammed to the ground, trying to crawl to the side of She Hai Harrier, but blood spurted out of his mouth, and he was paralyzed and unable to move. He looked at the She Sea Harrier who had fallen to the ground, then looked at Ben Yu, nodded and cried, and said, "Old snake, old snake, good fight. 」
It turned out that although She Hai Harrier could not avoid the heavy hammer hit by Ben Yu, but at the last moment, he tightly locked the iron chain on Ben Yu's two arms, and when the flying hammer smashed down She Sea Harrier, he also shook his luck, and returned the power of the giant hammer smashed on his head, along with all the remaining strength in his body, to Ben Yu.
Just look at Ben Yu standing in place, unable to move, and the blood of the two tigers' mouths spurted directly. Although She Hai Harrier was killed on the spot, it also shattered all the tendons and veins of Benyu's two arms.
A fierce battle has ended, and in the end, both were defeated, the ram hiding behind the big tree held his breath and concentrated, and the three Jing Tianming who hid behind the ram feather were even more thrilling to watch.
Gui Shanxiang fell to the ground and said to Ben Yu crying and laughing, "Now, even if you take the treasure knife, you don't have the strength to do it, let alone the treasure knife, I don't think you will even be able to pick up the broom in the future." You didn't win, we didn't lose either, everyone is still evenly divided. As soon as he finished speaking, he vomited several mouthfuls of blood.
Ben Yu looked down at his two arms that he had abandoned since then, and he was stunned for a long time, and suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, Gui Shanxiang was startled, Ram Yu frowned, and Jing Tianming and the three of them looked at each other in confusion.
I saw that Ben Yu laughed for a while before he stopped for a while, and said: "I think I Flying Hammer Ben Yu worshiped under Tongshan [Flying Hammer Gate] back then, as soon as I came out of the rivers and lakes, I was surprised at a young age, and heroes from all walks of life were invincible, and my master also intended to bring [Flying Hammer Gate] The position of the head of the house passed to me, but it didn't take long for me to hear that there was a man named Gai Nie on the rivers and lakes, known as the first sword in the world, obviously putting him above me, I was unwilling, resigned from the master, and went to find that Gai Nie to compete with him, and I had to prove that I was the first in the world before I was willing to go back and take over the position of the head.
Five years later, I went to compete with Na Gai Nie, I thought that I had improved a lot, but Gai Nie's swordsmanship was more sophisticated than before, and after a battle, I still lost to him, and after another three years of work, I still lost to him, and after another seven or eight years of work, I still lost to him. In recent years, there has been little news of Gai Nie on the rivers and lakes, and I also know that I am getting older, and there are many martial arts talents, and I unconsciously retreat, I wanted to go away from the mountains and forests, but I heard the news of the Cold Moon Frost Knife, I only said, this is the last chance given by God, as long as I get this knife, maybe I can defeat Gai Nie, and return to the division with the title of the first in the world. 」
Ben Yu looked up at the sky, shook his head and sighed, "Come on, it turns out that God actually took this opportunity to make me completely break my thoughts from now on. After finishing speaking, he quieted down, looked down at his two arms, and looked desolate.
Gui Shanxiang, who was lying to the side, laughed loudly and shouted at the corpse of She Hai Harrier: "Old snake, old snake, this stupid cow doesn't know what he's sad about, obviously he didn't listen to what you just said, what did you just say?
When he said this, he suddenly cried: "We have been fighting and killing all our lives, and we have deserved this fate, but you are one step ahead of me, so how can I crawl towards you as a legless person? Old snake, don't go too far, I'll be there soon!"
After speaking, he began to climb to the big tree next to him, intending to hit himself headlong, but he was weak, and he was paralyzed and unable to move after climbing for a long time.
Ben Yu seemed to have heard Gui Shanxiang's words, and as if he hadn't heard it, he nodded and muttered, "Most of my life has been planted in my own hands. Then, he suddenly looked up at the place where the Ram was hiding, and shouted, "Ram Yu, you have been standing there long enough, can you come out?"
The ram saw that there was no need to continue hiding, but fortunately he stepped out from behind the big tree, cranked a feather fan in his hand, and stood with a smile.
