Chapter 12: Ghosts and Lonely Ghosts [2]
The two ran like this for more than an hour, and Zhong Mingfang observed that the head of this dry old guy was already steaming like a steamer. I guessed that he was going to rest, and sure enough, I saw that he gradually slowed down, but he refused to stop to rest. Halfway up a barren mountain, he first looked left and right closely, then pushed hard against a huge rock.
Seeing him push a huge mountain rock with a dry figure, this image can't help but be a little funny, Zhong Ming just wanted to laugh, and saw that there was a door panel on the rock, and the stone was opened by him casually. It turned out that there was a secret stone door on it, and in the blink of an eye, a hole more than one person high appeared. Zhong Ming never imagined that there was a cave hidden in this bare rock.
After the ghost entered the entrance of the cave, he turned around and closed the door of the cave, and then put Zhong Ming down to rest. The whole cave is very spacious, there are more than one person high, five or six zhang deep, three or four zhang wide, the ground is very flat, there are traces of artificial carving everywhere. Zhong Ming saw that near the cave wall, there was a long candle with a thick bowl mouth, and the light illuminated the cave very clearly.
I saw that the old guy went straight to a wooden cabinet after entering the cave, took out a handful of pills from it, poured it into his mouth, and then washed it down with water. Then, after he untied Zhong Ming's dumb hole, he began to sit cross-legged on a flat stone covered with animal skins and began to practice, but he ignored Zhong Ming. Zhong Ming couldn't help but be a little inexplicable, thinking that it was an opportunity to escape, but he couldn't move his legs when he tried to stand up and run away several times.
Since Zhong Ming couldn't achieve the purpose of escaping, he began to plan to disturb the old guy's retreat, but he was so weak that he didn't even have the strength to open his mouth and make a loud noise, so he had to give up for the time being. After a while, when the old fellow suddenly opened his eyes, the strange thing was that he ignored the bell at this time, and shouted at the door of the cave:
"You're welcome to come...... If you have a kind, you rush in, you two have been peeping at the old man's every move in the dark since the inn, and now since you have worked tirelessly to chase here, it is hard to follow the old man for such a long distance, is it still difficult to wait for the old man to say a 'please' word!"
With the old guy's shout, the door of the cave was pushed open, and two people walked in with a strange laugh of "hehe". Both of them were in their forties, and they saw that the row of upper teeth in front of them was almost all bare lips, and in contrast to a pair of ring-shaped eyes, the row of white and somewhat crazy teeth was very impressive.
The one who followed behind had a large rosacea nose on his face and a pair of small eyes narrowed into a slit. In addition, the two men had different weapons, the one in front was holding a gold wire fishing net, and the one in the back was holding a harpoon, and the two were muscular and extremely strong. When the two of them walked into the cave, they closed the door of the cave casually, which had the meaning of being invincible and dying.
Before the two of them could speak, they heard the ghost and lonely ghost snort first, and then shouted:
"What kind of person should the old man be so bold, he dared to chase him to the door of the old man's house, it turned out to be 'Yungui Shuangye'! You two are not concentrating on cultivation in the barren land of Yungui, fishing and catching shrimp, why did you suddenly break into my territory today, what are your plans?"
It turns out that these two people are the Central Plains martial arts have always looked down on the "Yungui Shuangye", the two were originally a pair of brothers, surnamed Zhou, I don't know who learned a set of unique martial arts from someone, a little practice has been amazing, and in adulthood, there has been no opponent in the Yunnan-Guizhou region. The two of them behaved like savages, so they won the title of "Yungui Shuangye", which was regarded as a different category for martial arts people.
The two of them have lived in the wilderness for a long time, rarely use fireworks, and their food sources are mostly hunted beasts, and they have long been accustomed to eating and eating alive. Moreover, they themselves consider themselves savages, and rarely set foot in the Central Plains, and their sudden appearance here today also frightened the ghosts and lonely ghosts. Moreover, I heard legends: the two of them always move forward together, never caring how many people there are on the other side.
"I have heard from the Taoist in the Four Evils of the Border City that he has a virtuous nephew who is the former Young Master Zhong Ming of Wolong Villa, and my brothers and I are as close as brothers to that Taoist person, and their friendship is quite good! ”
"So what?" Before Boss Zhou finished speaking, the ghost and lonely ghost couldn't wait to ask.
"Since everyone tacitly wants to get the practice method of the Wolong Villa Killing Master from him, there is no need to cover it up now. It's just that because of our extraordinary friendship with the 'Iron Footman', this matter is reasonable, and we can't sit idly by, what do you think we should do now?"
As soon as Boss Zhou finished speaking, Zhou Er immediately responded:
"What do you say you should do!"
"According to the rules of the rivers and lakes, those who see have a share. Why don't we work together now, and share the practice secrets we have gained from this kid?"
"Such a thing is reasonable for ordinary people, and your proposal is reasonable, but today for the young owner of Wolong Villa, there is no reason at all. Do you think that if we agree to your proposal, how can we explain it to our friend 'Iron Foot Man' in the future?" said Boss Zhou.
"There is only one Zhong Ming in front of him, and it is difficult to see those who want to see it. The ghost continued to probe tentatively.
"Are the two of us here to win the secret book of practice? You are underestimating the two of us, for the sake of the friendship of the 'Iron Foot Daoren', you might as well give us a little face, and simply hand over Zhong Ming Gongzi to us." Boss Zhou immediately said.
"Just leave it to us!" Zhou Lao Er immediately chimed in. It turns out that he is straightforward by nature and has never been good at talking, and once he encounters an enemy, he can only help his eldest brother.
The ghost and lonely ghost knew that they and Zhong Mingpan were almost fake, and it was true that they wanted to snatch people from their hands, so they couldn't help but express themselves indignantly:
"Speaking of home, the two of you are here to win people for the old man, if it weren't for the old man's calculations and personal action, the bell in front of me would be given to you two for nothing, I'm afraid you two will not be blessed. Since you two have taken the initiative to come to the door now, you must have your own stunts to defeat the old man......"
As he spoke, the ghost lonely ghost secretly flicked three fingers at the Zhou brothers opposite. What is strange is that Boss Zhou in this "Yungui Shuangye" looks like he doesn't care, although he observes the movement of the sleeves of the opponent's robe, he does not dodge. In order to hit his opponent, he was willing to hit his two fingers, but hurriedly swung the fishing net in his hand head-on.
This "cold arrow in the sleeve" was originally extremely effective in secret attacks, but I don't know why it only caused an instant tremor when it touched the opponent today, completely losing the effect of defeating the enemy in the past. As everyone knows, the opponent is prepared, and the enemy's martial arts have already been clearly understood, and the martial arts of the "cold arrow in the sleeve" have their own acupoints to move and transpose.
Since the ghost and lonely ghost's enemy stunt encountered a nemesis, he couldn't help but be shocked, knowing that once he was entangled in a fishing net, he would immediately die in the hands of the second harpoon, so he hurriedly turned around and dodged. Who knew that Boss Zhou's fishing net was like having eyes, turning with the figure of the ghost, and the fishing net swam freely in the air as if it had wings.
Seeing this, the ghost was terrified, and tried to dodge several times, but still couldn't escape the threat of the other party's fishing net. Moreover, this cave place is narrower than the outside, and it is not suitable for dodging the opponent's fishing nets for a long time, and seeing that he has changed more than 20 kinds of body moves in a row without any effect, the ghost and lonely ghost can't help but feel anxious.
I saw Boss Zhou's fishing net in his hand, like a hand making an arm, skillful and natural, and extremely dexterous. The ghost and lonely ghost originally used a sword, but he usually relied on the power of the cold arrow in his sleeve, and rarely used the sword in the fight with others, but at this time, he was forced to take two steps back, and then pulled out a sword from the scabbard hanging on the cave wall.
Then he slashed at the fishing net above his head, but he didn't know that the sword did not damage the fishing net in the slightest, and at the same time, he did not expect that the fishing net had already fallen from his head. The ghost and lonely ghost were frightened, and lost their minds for a while, knowing that the fishing net was not afraid of the sword, but the swing of the sword was a burst of slashing.
The ghost and lonely ghost knew that the time limit had come, and once the fishing net tightened itself, he could only close his eyes and wait for death, so after realizing that there was no hope of escape, he could only desperately stab Zhou Boss from the fishing net to the boss Zhou behind the net. At this time, Boss Zhou relied on the fishing net to weave gold wire, and still wielded the net and wrapped the sword. How do you know that the sword of the ghost and lonely ghost has used enough strength, and it is extremely fast, and it is a desperate fight, before the fishing net entangles the sword, the sword has pierced the chest of Boss Zhou through the mesh of the fishing net.
At the same time, Zhou Lao Er's harpoon nailed the ghost and lonely ghost to the cave wall behind him at the same time. The Zhou brothers are brothers after all, and Zhou Lao Er pushed the harpoon against the wall of the cave, and then hurriedly abandoned the harpoon to see the boss's injury. I saw that the sword had penetrated the chest, the back of the sword was exposed, and although the sword was not pulled out, Boss Zhou's eyes were wide and he was speechless, and then he died of anger.
Zhou Lao Er was furious, and when he just wanted to turn around to find the ghost and the lonely ghost, he didn't expect that the body had not yet turned, and the ghost and the lonely ghost gathered all his strength at this time, and pushed the rock wall with both hands, and the body was brought out together with the harpoon. Without waiting for Zhou Lao Er to turn around, the harpoon handle avoided the opponent, and he tried all his strength for the rest of his life to pounce forward, hitting Zhou Lao Er's back with both palms at the same time, and immediately knocked the opponent to the ground.
It turned out that the walls here were all made of hard rocks, and although Zhou Lao Er nailed the other party to the wall hard, in fact, the harpoon didn't go in much after hitting the rock. It didn't take much effort for the ghost to break free from the rock, and he didn't stop there, and the ghost immediately pointed two fingers at Zhou Laoer's abdomen who fell to the ground.
Zhou Laoer, who was hit by these two palms, was already spurting blood from his mouth and fainted to the ground, and then his middle finger in the abdomen, but there was no reaction at that time. Only then did the ghost want to open his mouth and laugh, this victory was not easy to come by, but before he could laugh, the man fell to the ground and died. Unexpectedly, his life at this time was already the last moment when the oil ran out.
It was a battlefield of life and death, and it turned into calm and silent in an instant, and Zhong Ming, who had been hiding in the corner of the cave, could hardly believe the ending in front of him at this time, and even more couldn't figure out that these people were actually dying for him. Out of the "Yungui Shuangye" suitable to talk about the friendship with the four evils in the border city, love the house and Wu, Zhong Ming couldn't help but have an almost affection for the two.
Zhong Ming didn't believe that the two of them were like ghosts and lonely ghosts, and they came to get their own practice secrets, so he specially climbed forward to check Zhou Laoer's injuries and life and death. He saw that although Zhou Lao Er was seriously injured, he was still breathing, so he hurriedly helped him lie down as comfortably as possible, and then brought clothes from the bed in the cave and put them under Zhou Lao Er. After all this busy work, Zhong Ming was already out of breath.
At this time, I saw that Zhou Laoer's whole body began to tremble, Zhong Ming tried it with his hand, and felt that he was cold all over his body, obviously afraid of cold, only to know that he had been hit by the "cold arrow in his sleeve". Thinking of the effect of the cold sword in his sleeve, Zhong Ming hurriedly looked for the place where he was hit in the abdomen, and massaged it vigorously in an attempt to help him unlock the acupoint.
However, all these efforts were in vain, and Zhou Laoer's body was still trembling. Only then did Zhong Ming realize that he had no internal strength to speak of. At this time, he couldn't help feeling a little thirsty because he was sweating too much, so he hurriedly found a water tank full of water in the cave, scooped half a scoop with water and drank it.
Then he began to work hard to pull the animal skin on the flat stone to cover Zhou Lao Er, hoping that his pain would be alleviated. After all this, he was so tired that he had to stop and rest for a while. Zhong Ming had been weak since he took the pill of the ghost and lonely ghost, and now he was dizzy and dizzy from being tired after this toss.
At this moment, Zhong Ming truly realized the power of the ghost lonely ghost pill. When he was uncomfortable, he couldn't help but think of the antidote, and hurriedly crawled to the ghost's side to search. The ghost lonely ghost has a relatively light body and is easy to flip, Zhong Ming turned over on him, although he was tired and sweaty, but still did not gain much.
He found nothing on him except more than a dozen pills of the kind he had eaten. Zhong Ming couldn't help but be disappointed, and everything had to be left to nature. Zhong Ming was not very smart but not very stupid, and although he had nothing to gain from this busy work, he deduced that the medicinal power of this pill seemed to need to be taken for a long time.
Otherwise, what's the use of this old man carrying so many pills on his body? Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief in his heart, and his mood seemed to improve a little, and at this moment, he was suddenly alarmed by a groan next to him......
