Chapter 60 Passing Away
Xia Gaoqi pushed open the Heavenly Boundary Gate, and the three of them walked along the faint cry of the tiger and leopard, but what they saw was such a miserable scene. There are a total of 46 tigers and leopards in Tianjue Mountain, all of them are here, most of them are cut off limbs, disemboweled, and the method is very vicious, so that the tiger and leopard can not die for a while, and can not hurt people, only a miserable howl. Only a few tigers and leopards, including the one raised by Lu Muran, had to be hacked to death because they were too fierce. Even after death, he still has a whole arm in his mouth.
Lu Yunli saw that the leopard he raised a few years ago was lying straight on the ground, and his body was already stiff. Leaning over to reach out and touch it, he realized that it had no sword scars on its body, and only when it touched the back of its neck did it realize that it had been broken by a clean blow. Seeing that it didn't suffer so much, I felt a little relieved, and unconsciously thought that eight years ago, I came to the door to apprentice to the master, passed the master's test, and accepted me as an apprentice. The next day, he brought me the leopard cubs and told me to take care of them. In the past eight years, only when he went out three years ago and killed King Beiling to avenge his parents, there was a brief difference, and the rest of the time was spent together. In Lu Yun's centrifugation, this leopard is no longer a pet, but a dearest relative. Now seeing its corpse, which had already stiffened in the cold wind, tears flowed out again, and it was impossible to suppress it.
Just as Lu Yunli was crying when he looked at the corpse of the leopard he raised, he heard Lu Han and Xia Gaoqi raise their knives and fall with their hands, and cleanly killed the tiger and leopard who was still breathing. The two are not ruthless people, among these tigers and leopards, there are also those who have been raised by themselves, and some have fought side by side. In any case, the grief does not have to be left at all, and the only thing that can be done for these former comrades-in-arms now is to free them from this endless pain.
After a while, the two of them stopped the wailing in the mountains, and Xia Gaoqi used the ghost knife as a shovel to dig a pit in the clearing. Lu Han didn't say anything, and the two guns were also used as hoes, desperately digging on the frozen soil in this cold winter. Lu Yunli stood up straight, took a deep breath, wiped the tears on his cheeks with his cuffs, pulled out the ink heart, and the three of them buried their comrades together. Each tiger and leopard is buried in an earthen pit, and the stumps are collected as much as possible. It wasn't until dawn that the three of them buried all these tigers and leopards, during which the soup dumplings came to visit, and they also cried into tears.
This night, Tianjue Mountain has experienced too much and sacrificed too much, which is also a blessing in misfortune, and Tianjue Mountain has been preserved.
Xiaoyaolin was also in crisis at this time, and was attacked by the Holy Xuan Sect on the same day as Tianjue Mountain. The heavy snow in the Xiaoyao Forest has not gone, and the poisonous insects and poisonous snakes have no effect. On this day, as usual, Xiahou Qishi was still teaching his apprentices to practice martial arts, and Ding Yujue was dealing with the affairs of Xiaoyaolin. He helps with chores with cigarettes, and spends his money on the business of Xiaoyaolin. Ding Yujing instructed Xiahou Ding martial arts. The people of the Xiaoyao Forest, who wanted to avoid the trouble, were already at this time, and if the Demon Sect attacked, they would fight to the death.
It was the morning, just after breakfast, suddenly there was a rapid knock on the door, Xiahou Ding saw a middle-aged woman through the crack in the door, black patterned clothes, blood on the corner of her mouth, this person is the owner of the spirit snake village in the seven villages under the Xiaoyao Forest, Ji Lengling.
Xiahou Ding quickly opened the door and let Ji Lengling in, Ding Yujing whispered to Xiahou Ding: "Go and tell your mother about this matter, and guard against the surroundings." Xiahou Ding immediately understood, nodded, and ran quickly in the direction of Ding Yujue.
Ding Yujing checked Ji Lengling's injury, and there was a black chess piece embedded in each of his left and right shoulders, which was obviously a fatal technique, and there was also a white chess piece on his waist. As soon as Ji Lengling entered the gate, she was seriously injured and fell into a coma.
Then there was a sound of cloud-piercing arrows in the sky, Ding Yujing looked up at the sky, and knew in his heart that it was not good, except for the spirit snake village in the seven villages, the rest of the cloud-piercing arrows for help were issued at the same time, and they resounded in the sky for a while. At the same time, the assembly horn sounded in the courtyard. The Xiaoyaolin disciples stopped training and looked up at Ding Yujue standing on the high platform.
Ding Yujue said to the people of Xiaoyao Forest: "Today, the Demon Sect will definitely attack my Xiaoyao Forest, and as the head of Xiaoyao Forest, I can't avoid the battle." You are just disciples of Xiaoyaolin, and if you disperse today, if you don't fight against the Demon Sect, the Demon Sect will definitely not embarrass you. ”
There are as many as 600 disciples in the free forest, but there are no great ones. There are no restrictions on the adoption of orphans in the Escape, many of whom are adopted orphans without parents, who have been starving for long periods of time and gradually become thieves who spend their days stealing in order to survive, disturbing the peace of the nearby villages. After Ding Yujue took over the Xiaoyao Forest, he gathered these orphans in the Xiaoyao Forest for them to eat and wear, and taught them martial arts. There were one hundred and twenty-six orphans. The rest are the children of high-rollers and wealthy businessmen who have been in the forest all the year round, drunk and dreaming of death, they came to spend and have fun, during the period of watching the Ding family and the Xiahou family, the two families are strong in martial arts, so they sent their own flesh and blood to learn martial arts. Xiaoyao Lin is the biggest pastime on the rivers and lakes, as long as you have money, you don't have to go out of Xiaoyao Forest in your life, you have what you want. The disciples of this kind of high-roller and wealthy merchant stood in the majority, and there were four hundred and seventy-four people.
When the disciples heard that the Demon Sect was coming, they immediately became a mess, and Xiahou Qishi said loudly: "All the disciples immediately disperse and flee for their lives, if they encounter someone in the Demon Sect, they will definitely survive if they don't resist." ”
The disciples of the Carefree Forest didn't even have time to pack up their things, so they rushed out of the gate like a swarm and scattered among the trees. There were still one hundred and twenty-six disciples standing firmly in place under the high platform, coldly watching these rich children who were afraid of death holding their heads and running around, and after these people ran cleanly, the one hundred and twenty-six people said in unison: "Swear to live and die with Xiaoyaolin." ”
Ding Yujue had already arranged for Hua Feihua, Xiahou Ding, and Yiyan to go to the Xiaoyao Forest to explain the situation to the high-rollers and wealthy businessmen, and cover up the Xiaoyao Forest to ensure the safety of everyone's lives. The real goal was to separate the three of them and avoid getting involved in a battle that had no chance of winning.
Ding Yujue looked at the remaining 126 people in the martial arts training field, all of whom were provided by themselves, and taught them to read and practice martial arts. These orphans have long been regarded as Xiaoyaolin as their home, and they have been favored by Xiaoyaolin all the year round.
Ding Yujue continued on the high platform: "Xiahou Qishi should have told you about the ruthlessness of the Holy Xuan Sect, most of you will die if you stay today, so let's disperse, I hope that in the future, you will embark on the right path, and don't do anything to steal." ”
The one hundred and twenty-six were silent and dispersed. None of them fled, but all returned to their dormitories, dressed and armed. In less than half an hour, these one hundred and twenty-six people gathered in the courtyard again, set up a defensive posture, and quietly waited for the arrival of the Holy Xuan Sect.
Ding Yujing also removed the chess pieces on his body at this time, and used a heart booster to make him regain consciousness as soon as possible. Sure enough, the medicinal power of the heart strengthening medicine was extremely strong, and after taking it for a while, Ji Lengling woke up, opened her eyes and saw Ding Yujing, and hurriedly said: "Tell the head quickly, the Demon Sect has sent four soldiers and six arts to level the Xiaoyao Forest." ”
Ding Yujing's words did not surprise Ding Yujing, just as she thought, and said, "You rest here first, and I'll go tell the master." After saying that, he turned around and went out.
Although Ding Yujing didn't know what kind of masters the Holy Xuan Sect would send over, with the consistent style of the Holy Xuan Sect, he would definitely send enough people. Thinking in his heart, he walked quickly to the hall where Ding Yujue was. didn't knock on the door and went straight in, seeing Ding Yujue and Xiahou Qishi talking intimately, he felt reckless and a little embarrassed for a while.
When Ding Yujue saw that the eldest sister was coming, he said: "Just now, I decided with the revelation that you should take Xiahou Ding, flowers are not flowers, and smoke to leave the Xiaoyao Forest, hide outside for a few days, and then come back to continue to run the Xiaoyao Forest after the Demon Sect withdraws." Judging from what we have known about the Holy Xuan Sect over the years, their goal is only to have me alone, and the revelation is destined to stay and live with me. There are enough of me here, and you are here to die in vain, and it is meaningless. ”
Ding Yujing understood, her eyes moistened, looking at her sister, she had been running this huge Xiaoyao Forest alone for so many years, she was naturally fond of wandering, and she had never been able to help her well, but now she was facing a life and death parting, and there was an indescribable sadness in her heart.
Ding Yujue has always been sensible, although her heart is also sour for parting, but now the most important thing is to break away from Ding Yujing, so she said: "Eldest sister, let's go, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave if it's too late." Xiahou Ding will entrust it to you, Feihua is also a poor person, and the eldest sister of the two bothered to take care of it. ”
Ding Yujing couldn't suppress her sadness, and didn't wait for Ding Yujue to finish speaking before hiding her face and leaving. Ding Yujue watched the eldest sister's back disappear, and when she looked back, she saw Xiahou Qishi looking at her tenderly, with a smile on the corner of her mouth. Xiahou Qiqi said to Ding Yujue: "I will stay with you in this life, and I will die without regrets." ”
Ding Yujue's eyes were also full of affection, and countless words came to his heart, but he couldn't say anything, and he didn't need to say anything. The two have known each other for more than 20 years, and they are as sweet as their first love, embracing each other.
The Holy Xuan Sect knew that the Xiaoyao Forest was large and there were many people, so they first cleaned up the surrounding cottages and cut off their hands and feet. The owner of the Spirit Snake Village was patrolling the surrounding area, and found that the members of the Holy Xuan Sect were nearby, and they did not dare to release signal arrows for fear of exposing themselves, so they asked people to quietly inform the villages. He ran quickly towards the Loose Forest. But he didn't expect to be discovered by the chess saint in the six arts of the Holy Xuan Sect halfway, Ji Lengling ran wildly with all her might, but she still couldn't avoid the black and white son of the chess saint, and she had three grains in her body, and she ran wildly to the territory of Xiaoyao Forest to survive.
Among the seven villages, only the hundred howling wind and the hundred old men of the hundred knife village, Yan Hong of Yanyun Village, and Zhong Mingxuan of Zhongjiazhai successfully killed and went straight to Xiaoyao Forest. The remaining four villages were all slaughtered, and no one survived. Even the three owners of the village who escaped were all wounded, and there were no more than forty people in total.
The three passers-by entered the inner courtyard of Xiaoyaolin respectively, and Ding Yujue and Xiahou Qishi went out to meet everyone and asked them in detail. Yan Hong said: "The Demon Sect sent four soldiers and six arts and more than 100 sect members, and all the seven villages were slaughtered. Fortunately, the head of the family made a decision and let us settle down with our wives and children. ”
