Chapter 3 Acting
On the top of a majestic mountain hundreds of miles away from Goujian City, there are three or five humble houses.
The villagers who go into the mountains to hunt for firewood often think about why there are houses on the top of that steep and strange peak? Are there any people living in it? If so, could it be that the gods in the sky have descended to earth and live there in seclusion? What do the gods who live in it look like? Are they the same as them, with one nostril and two eyes?
Although there were many questions, no one had ever really confirmed it, because not only was the peak impossible to climb, but most importantly, they were afraid that if they disturbed the immortals' cultivation, no one knew what kind of terrifying actions they would make when they were angry, and no one wanted to know.
If anyone really dares to risk death to find out, they will find that the three or five mysterious houses are inhabited by nothing more than an old man with crippled legs.
At this moment, the old man was sitting in a wide chair, lying quietly with his eyes closed.
There was no one in the humble room, but there was a voice that came from outside the sky, and as if the person who spoke was beside the old man.
"In this battle, seven people died, and one person's whereabouts are unknown. ”
The old man seemed to be used to it, and he was not surprised by the sound that appeared out of thin air, but he made an 'um' sound in his nose and said, "I don't know who it is, and what is our situation." ”
The voice seemed to hesitate for a moment, and said: "The whereabouts of the unknown is the lazy and loose old eight, this person is known as 'a young man who does not do his job', but there is nothing to worry about"
The old man snorted heavily, but his eyes were still open, and said, "Enough, what about our situation?"
The voice said, "Ten people are seriously injured." ”
The old man sat up suddenly, suddenly opened his eyes, and anger appeared on the old man's face, and said, "Only ten of the forty people have returned?
This shout was full of energy, and the echo was rolling like thunder.
The voice seemed to tremble a little, and said, "Yes."
The old man sighed, closed his eyes again, slowly lay back in the wide chair, and muttered: "The 'Seven Saints' is really an extraordinary person, although the old eight is not doing his job, he is very good at saving his life," he actually laughed and said: "Interesting, interesting, there are eight people who are obviously called 'Seven Saints', it seems that this old eight really has some ability."
Qi Kai walked aimlessly on the official road, recalling the expression of the housekeeper who seemed to have seen a ghost when he opened the door just now, and suddenly remembered what Lao Dezhu had said to him: "In a person's life, you don't need to make too many friends at all, as long as you can make a sincere person, it is enough." ”
He remembered this because it was time for him to need the help of his friends.
Although he has many friends, since he was hunted down, the usual groups of 'righteous brothers and friends' have suddenly disappeared.
He muttered: "In a person's life, you don't need to make too many friends at all, as long as you can make a sincere friend, it is enough." With a wry smile, he looked even more depressed, and said: "It's a pity that I haven't even made a true friend, it seems that I have really failed as a person." ”
At this moment, a man suddenly swooped down from the sky, this person was disheveled and looked a little embarrassed.
Qi Kai said in surprise: "It's you!"
The man did not speak, but pulled him away, and then rushed up to the sky again.
Qi Kai endured the strong wind in front of him, and wanted to speak, but he couldn't open his mouth.
The man flew with him to a mountain forest, and then gasped: "When I heard that you were back, I immediately rushed over, and I was in too much hurry to bring nothing." ”
Qi Kai looked at him with a smile and said, "You don't have to bring anything, if you can come, I am already very satisfied, at least it proves that I still have friends, and it is not to the extent that ten thousand people spurn." ”
The man also looked at him, with tears in his eyes, and said, "If you hadn't saved me when I was most in danger, I'm afraid that I would have died a long time ago, and I wouldn't be living comfortably now." ”
Qi Kai said: "Youde, you don't have to thank me, everything you have now is all your hard work, it's just that you shouldn't have come to me, you found me, I'm afraid that the future will not be easy." ”
Youde shook his head and said, "No, since you saved me when I was most in danger, I won't leave you when you need help."
Qi Kai's eyes suddenly welled up with tears, and he smiled reluctantly: "Do you know that if a person is too real, he will often suffer a lot of harm that he should not have suffered."
Youde interrupted him and said, "You don't have to say more, your life is given by you." ”
There was an unmistakable firmness in the flat tone.
Qi looked at him with a laugh and said, "I rarely contacted you before, why do you still value me so much?"
Youde said: "That's because friends are not used to connect, and frequent contact is just a relationship of interest that takes advantage of each other." ”
Qi Xingxin suddenly felt a sense of guilt, and the smile on his face faded little by little, and he said solemnly: "Okay! What a 'friend is not used to connect!'" After a pause, he sighed: "I really need help now, and I need someone who can find out the news for me for a long time." ”
Youde looked at him quietly, and suddenly said, "Wuji Hall is now offering a high reward for your life. ”
Qi Kai said: "So you can't be suspected." ”
Youde frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Qi Kai said: "I want you to play a play with me." ”
Youde was even more puzzled, and said, "What kind of play is it playing, and who is it for?"
Qi Kai said: "Play a 'friend cannibalism' to those 'idlers'." ”
Youde suddenly realized, and said: "You mean, when we went out of the city just now, we were seen by those good people, and if I go back safely at this moment, they will definitely be suspicious."
Qi Kai laughed and said, "You're a little smart now. ”
It was in the afternoon, and it was finally time for the hunters to go home after a busy day's work, so the people on the official road walked in twos and threes talking to each other. They flatter each other just to hear the long-awaited compliments from each other's mouths, as if only then do they know the value of their existence.
Suddenly, there was a shocking noise in the dense forest in the distance, and the yellow light rushed to the sky, and the people who had been chattering suddenly all fell silent and their eyes widened.
A young man with a disheveled hair rushed over first, and even shouted: "This man is Qi Kai! Kill him!"
The stunned crowd suddenly came back to their senses, and one by one they put down the prey in their hands, stretched their bodies one after another, and rushed towards the young man with his hair scattered.
As soon as the young man with his hair scattered, he saw a helper, and his spirit suddenly lifted up, and said: "He has been plotted by me, and he must have lasted for a long time, everyone will attack him, and they will definitely be able to kill him!"
One laughed and said: "Brother Tai, don't worry, to deal with such a treacherous villain, even if we lose our lives, we will not hesitate to do so." ”
But he spoke, but his body did not move.
Qi Kai laughed and said, "Yes, I'm just a treacherous villain, and everyone will be punished when they get it," he paused, and then continued: "But in conscience, although there are many of you, but you are only second- and third-rank martial artists, do you think it is easy to kill a fifth-order magician?"
Everyone looked at each other, thinking that Qi Kai was able to escape under the siege of the 'Shadow', and their hearts suddenly lost confidence.
Qi Kai then smiled and said: "Although I am not against words and deeds, but I hate others for plotting against me the most, it is better for you to give me a little time, let me first but I have a grudge with this friend of justice, first, I will be very grateful to you, second, to kill my friend, it will also take a lot of my strength, and it will be much easier for you to do it later, I don't know what you think?"
Who knew that Youde snorted and shouted: "I don't have a friend like you, the Qi Kai I know was dead long ago when he was secretly living!"
The smile on Qi Kai's face disappeared, and his eyes seemed to be full of pain.
Another person in the crowd laughed and said, "Yes, this friend is really a man of temperament, and I will make you a friend." ”
Qi Kai also smiled and said: "This time I can come back alive, it is pure luck, since I am already a dead man, there is still some value, but if you can temporarily raise your noble hand, I promise to do it later and will never take your life, just to see if you have the strength to leave me behind." ”
One person said: "Qi Kai is the end of the 'Seven Saints', although he is greedy for life and afraid of death, but he has always said the same, I will naturally believe it, please!"
This man really stepped back and looked at everyone with a smile.
Everyone also retreated with him, vacating a large open space and surrounding Qi Kai and the young man.
The young man glared angrily at the people gathered in a circle and shouted, "I have kindly advised you, but you have listened to this evil man's slander, and you will definitely regret it!"
In the angry shout, he had already released his primordial power, and his body shrouded in yellow light shot towards Qi Kai.
Everyone usually only hunts in the mountains for a living, and where they have seen such a swift body, they all opened their mouths in shock for a while.
Qi Kai looked at Youde, who was approaching quickly, but he didn't move, only said slowly: "Wind shield condensation." ”
I saw that the rapidly moving yellow light stopped abruptly, and the young man who hit the wind shield and stopped suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood.
Qi Kai looked at him and said with a smile: "It turns out that you have this ability, no wonder you want to trick me into almost making a plot." After a pause, he sighed and said, "I really shouldn't blame you, but I had to kill you." ”
Qi Kai suddenly shouted: "The wind is three-edged!"
Everyone only heard this shout, but before they could see how they could move their hands, a huge wind blade was already whistling towards the young man.
Their hearts were already in their throats, and their eyes were fixed on the young man.
The young man laughed miserably and said, "If you think that I only have this ability, then you are very wrong!
The young man formed a fist with his hands crossed in front of his chest, and everyone felt that their eyes suddenly lit up, blazing like a bright sun, and they couldn't help but close their eyes one after another, and suddenly heard a muffled bang, followed by a shout.
The yellow light dissipated, and when everyone opened their eyes, the young man was already half-kneeling on the ground, blood was flowing from the corners of his mouth, and Qi Kai seemed to be seriously injured, and there was a trace of blood hanging from the corners of his mouth.
The young man suddenly exclaimed, "I'm sorry everyone, take the next step first." ”
Before the words fell, the young man's body was blazing with yellow light, and his body swept out like lightning.
Qi Kai also hurriedly shouted: "Everyone, wait a while, and come down when you go down." ”
Before he moved, he heard a man shouting, "Stay!"
A middle-aged man with a blue glow rushed in front of him, staring at him without moving, as if he was afraid that he would suddenly disappear.
Qi Kai looked at Youde's disappearing figure, and said with a wry smile: "I can understand your mood at the moment, but you let me watch him escape, it's too unreasonable, it really makes me sad." ”
The man sneered, "Your Excellency is afraid that you won't come back if you go here, right?"
Qi Kai shook his head and sighed: "Since you have gone back on your word, don't blame me for being too heavy, everyone please" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly spurted a mouthful of blood.
Someone next to him immediately shouted: "Hurry up, he can't support it!"
He immediately rushed over with golden light, and although Qi Kai was still coughing up blood, his hand waved heavily, and said, "Wind Three-Bladed Disease!"
A huge wind blade that had been seriously injured just now and the fleeing young man roared away, only to hear three consecutive 'bang-bang' muffled sounds, the figure of the person who rushed forward had been thrown back, and the speed was even faster than when he came, and when the man slammed on the ground with a bang, splashing a large amount of dust, everyone found that a huge wound on his chest crossed his waist, and he couldn't survive.
Qi Kai said leisurely: "I said a long time ago that you second- and third-stage martial artists want to kill you, I'm afraid it's not easy." ”
The man standing in front of him staring at him had already begun to play the lute, and quickly took a few steps back, but shouted in his mouth: "Let's do it together, there will always be someone who will succeed, kill!"
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, they all know that Qi Kai is at the end of the crossbow at this time, but who goes first is a problem.
Suddenly, a person behind Qi Kai shouted: "Let's go together! If you don't succeed, you will become a benevolent!"
Qi Kai sneered: "Since that's the case, everyone please!"
Everyone saw Qi Kai's figure suddenly rise from the ground, secretly saying that he was at the end of his rope and that he would flee from the wilderness, and one by one they jumped up with red eyes, trying to trap him on the ground.
It's just because everyone knows that if he is allowed to break out of the encirclement at this moment, he can get away safely.
Unexpectedly, his figure only reached a height of a few zhang and then stopped rising, and everyone saw that his body was spinning at an extremely fast speed.
Immediately someone exclaimed, but it was too late.
I saw that the crowd that swarmed fell down like stones, screaming miserably.
Qi Kai's face was no longer bloodless, but he still looked at the panicked people on the ground with a volley smile, and laughed: "I am bidding farewell, thanks to you today, he will come to the door to thank you if he has the opportunity to do so." ”
The crowd was in shock, and his people had flown into the woods, and the laughter lingered for a long time.
One person looked at his disappearing figure and sighed abruptly: "I have long heard that the eighth of the 'Seven Saints' is a 'young man who does not do business', and when I saw it today, I realized that it was exaggerated and wronged the people of the world. ”
