XXXVII. Heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are dogs
Li Shuxiu saw that this duel came to an abrupt end, and he only felt in a trance, like a dream, and it was hard to believe that this barbarian king, who had cultivated for a hundred years and was invincible, was almost no different from a baby in front of flies. What kind of moves he used, how to kill the Nabarian King, not only did he have no clue, but he didn't even see it clearly.
The fly turned around, glanced at the three of them indifferently, walked in front of Zhao Sheng, and said to Zhao Sheng, "Xiao Sheng, do you know what I'm going to do next?"
Zhao Sheng's eyes showed a look of panic, and Mu Mu shook his head.
With a move from the fly's hand, Rapp flew over the Nabarian King, as if someone was holding it up, and landed lightly in front of him, and he said: "You have strayed into the Holy Land, and all of them deserve to die, and I have tolerated you to this day, which is really a great mercy, but this time the great thing is over, and you will not escape the catastrophe." ”
He stretched out his hand, made a knife move, and slashed lightly on Rapp's neck, and suddenly black blood flowed all over the ground, and Rapp's legs spasmed, whining a few times, and he lost his breath.
When Li Shuxiu saw this scene, she was desperate, she only felt that her heart was torn apart, she was discouraged, and she wanted to cry, but she was hit by a fly, not only could she not move, but she couldn't even make a sound. Her cheeks were hot, tears welled up, and she wept bitterly.
Fly said again: "I will kill the two sisters next to you, and then kill you again, do you understand?"
Zhao Sheng burst out crying, he shook his head desperately, trying to retreat from the fly, but as if he was trapped in an invisible cage, he rushed for a long time, but he could not get out.
The fly suddenly let out a scream, covered its head, knelt on the ground in pain, and then bounced to the ground, rolling back and forth on the ground, his body twisted, his bones clicked, Zhao Sheng's eyes widened, staring at this scene, not knowing what happened.
The fly raised his head, his eyes were snow-white, as if the fog was boundless, half of his face was a goshawk, half of his face was a fly, he kept twitching, it looked strange and weird, terrifying and unspeakable, he yelled: "Kill me! Xiao Sheng! Kill me!"
Zhao Sheng trembled, how dare he make a move? He cried out: "Brother Goshawk, Brother Goshawk, come back quickly, drive this evil ghost away!"
The voices of the flies and the goshawk overlapped together, like a ghost crying wolf, it sounded doubly harsh, his expression was hideous, his nails scratched everywhere on his body, leaving blood marks, but he healed in an instant, he said angrily: "Kill me, I can still control him, if he comes to his senses, he will kill you all!"
Zhao Sheng just hung his head and cried, his body curled up, looking like a frightened hare.
The goshawk snorted and threw a broken sword at Zhao Sheng's feet, and he shouted: "You are the Son of Heaven of the Song Dynasty, you are the monarch who rules all the people, if you can't bear to do it, you have no responsibility, how will you expel the Tatars in the future and restore the world?"
This sentence rushed straight into Zhao Sheng's ears, like a slap in the head, making his eyes gradually clear, he looked at the long sword, slowly stretched out his little hand, and held it in his hand.
The corners of the goshawk's mouth showed a miserable smile, sweat dripping down, and he said, "That's right! That's right, just come over and stab the long sword into my heart." Otherwise, the man will kill you all, he will eat your flesh, drink all your blood, tie your head around his waist, and then run out and kill all your relatives. ”
Zhao Sheng mustered up his courage, walked to the goshawk's side, and looked at the goshawk timidly.
Goshawk shouted loudly: "He will kill Uncle Li, he will also kill your adoptive father and adoptive mother, kill Uncle Gan, kill Aunt Zhao, and kill all the people you know, love, care about, and rely on." He will eat their flesh and blood, and then he will turn into a ghost, chasing your soul into the netherworld and continuing to haunt you. ”
Zhao Sheng closed his eyes, his long sword against the goshawk's heart, his mouth opened, and he trembled as if he had been struck by lightning.
The goshawk shouted, "Open your eyes, look at my face! Look at the face of the man you are about to kill! You coward, you gutless dog! You shit inferior emperor! You will be sent to the Mongol barracks to be a slave for the rest of their lives!"
Zhao Sheng's eyes widened, and he said angrily: "I am a descendant of the Zhao family! I vow to revive the Great Song Dynasty! sweep the world! Drive the Mongol Tatars out of the Central Plains!" In an instant, infinite courage surged in his thin body, and the long sword was sent forward, and with a thud, it was buried deep in the chest of the goshawk.
He held Zhao Sheng's hand, looked at the resolute and sad look on his immature face, and slowly lay on the ground, but the corners of his mouth showed a smile, and he said softly: "Xiao Sheng, you grow up, you have to become brave, don't always cry, don't always retreat, do you always retreat, do you hear?"
Zhao Sheng's little hands were weak, he threw off his long sword, hugged the goshawk tightly, and cried: "Brother goshawk, I'm sorry for you! I'm sorry for you!"
The goshawk said intermittently in his ear: "After going out from here, you will see three men on horseback, and they are the ministers who will take you out of the customs this time. You will show them the ancestral jade pendant, let them see your face, they will obediently listen to you, do you hear? Brother Goshawk can no longer protect you in the future. ”
Zhao Sheng burst into tears and kissed the goshawk on the forehead and cheek, although he understood what the goshawk said, but he didn't have time to think about it in his grief. Goshawk fumbled and took out a meatball-like thing from his arms, stuffed it into Zhao Sheng's mouth, tapped his acupoint, helped him take it, and said: "This is the piece of meat taken from the body of the Nabarian King, it can cure all kinds of poisons, cure all kinds of diseases, and the effect is incomparable, maybe it will help you get through some difficulties." When you leave here, you're going to have to be smarter, more steady, more courageous, you know?"
Zhao Sheng had a thousand words in his heart, but he couldn't say them in a hurry, he saw that the goshawk's breath gradually weakened, his face was pale, his eyes were blank, and after a while, his face was completely restored, and there was no trace of flies, but he also swallowed his breath. Zhao Sheng touched the rough and resolute cheeks of the goshawk, gritted his teeth, wiped away his tears vigorously, and shouted: "I won't cry anymore!" Brother Goshawk, I promise you, I won't cry and cry again, I will shed blood and sweat in my life, and I will never shed tears again!"
Rapp's tragic death at the hands of flies made Li Shuxiu heartbroken at the moment, but in a daze, she heard the conversation between the two clearly. She saw Zhao Sheng stand up, walked to her side, carried herself on her thin shoulders, and then grabbed the hand of the county lord of Jiuhe, he was young, but his strength at the moment was quite amazing, he looked around blankly, tried his best, and walked towards the opening in the stone wall.
Suddenly, I saw that the stone wall of the lobby shattered instantly, turning into thousands of stone chips and falling to the ground in pieces, and countless yellow sand rushed into the lobby like waves, rolling the three people and pouring into the corridor along the opening.
At the last moment, the acupuncture points on Li Shuxiu's body were suddenly untied, and she hurriedly closed her breath, closed her eyes, and hugged the county lord of Jiuhe and Zhao Sheng. She felt that the force of the yellow sand was soft and turbulent, like a giant hand wrapped around the three of them, bumpy and undulating all the way, rushing forward.
She held her breath for a long time, couldn't bear it anymore, opened her mouth wide and breathed hard, but found that there seemed to be a secret cave in the huge waves of yellow sand, in which there was air, and there was rarely yellow sand rushing towards her head and face. They were here as safe as a carriage, and she was secretly amazed, and hope was born in her heart, but she was at a loss for what to do, and she kept wondering where the yellow sand would take the three of them.
After about a stick of incense, the waves of quicksand shook violently, and her forehead hit the sand and stones, her head was dizzy, and she lost consciousness when she landed, and in the darkness, the quicksand swept mightily, carrying the three of them into the distance.
――――
Under the night, the moon is in the sky, the silver sand is thousands of miles, and there is no edge in sight.
Li Shuxiu regained consciousness quietly, her face was itchy, knowing that it was covered with fine sand, she shook her head, shook the fine sand down, opened her eyes, breathed hard, spit out the turbidity in her chest, and then looked around, she couldn't help but mix sadness and joy - the joy was that she finally got out of trouble and came to the desert, she saw Zhao Sheng and the county lord of Jiuhe lying next to her, the county lord of Jiuhe was still unconscious, but Zhao Sheng had already woken up and was looking at himself with concern.
The sad thing is that she saw the tragic death of the person she loved the most in her life, at the hands of the person who was most kind to her.
She pinched her shoulders with both hands, her nails sank into her skin, and she felt that her heart hurt so badly that it almost drove her crazy, and she desperately gasped, trying to numb her feelings, but after trying for a long time, the pain was not relieved in the slightest.
Zhao Sheng suddenly stood up, ran to a sand dune, and looked into the distance.
Li Shuxiu heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from far and near, and ran towards them. She dragged her tired body and followed Zhao Sheng to the sand dune, staring at the galloping knight in a daze. One of them shouted, "Who's in front?"
Zhao Sheng did not answer, but waited quietly, and when they came closer, he shouted loudly: "I am the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, I have just come out of danger, come here, and meet the person who responds." ”
The three of them exclaimed loudly, jumped off the horse, and ran quickly in front of Zhao Sheng, without asking, bowing their heads, Li Shuxiu saw that these three people were wearing side plug clothes, long scarves wrapped around their bodies, and they were dressed up and down, and their appearance was very neat.
One of the old men shouted: "Weichen is late to take over, the crime deserves death, fortunately with the blessing of the ancestors of the Great Song Dynasty, Your Majesty is blessed with great fortune, and finally ...... Finally arrived safely. ”
Zhao Sheng's eyes were slightly red, but he immediately gritted his teeth, held back his tears, and said: "If it weren't for the loyalty and courage of the guards around me, how could I meet with you Aiqing?"
The old man's name was Huang Tianji, he was born as a general of the Song Dynasty, and the two behind him were also officers of the Great Song Dynasty. Huang Tianji said politely: "This heroine must be the hero who escorted His Majesty here, come on, let's go to Hanyan City together, Weichen is quite powerful over there, and he is about to set up a banquet to wash the dust for you, and also to worship those heroes and knights who have sworn allegiance all the way." ”
Li Shuxiu shook his head and refused softly, Huang Tianji tried his best to persuade him, and suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind a nearby sand dune, everyone turned around and saw three more figures running towards them.
By the moonlight, Li Shuxiu recognized that the three people were Li Linhong, Zhang Axe Mountain and Zhou Hanhai, who were walking like flying at the moment, full of energy, and seemed to be fine, it seemed that after the three of them fell into a coma, they were also rescued by the quicksand and sent to the desert. This quicksand has some mystery, which can not only transport the corpses of the desert to the valley, but also send the people of the desert valley here.
The three of them came to the sand dunes and fell down in front of Zhao Sheng together, Li Linhong cried loudly: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the minister is really useless, almost tired Your Majesty...... God opens his eyes, God opens his eyes. Do you know how happy Wei Chen was when he heard His Majesty's shout before. ”
Zhao Sheng saw that he was safe, his heart was ecstatic, and he almost cried again, and finally covered up the past, and was about to comfort a few words, but he heard Zhang Axe Mountain say in a panic: "The grass people have eyes but no beads, but they don't know Your Majesty's identity, and they have been neglected all the way, and they hope that Your Majesty will atone for their sins." ”
Zhou Hanhai also said earnestly: "If it weren't for General Li confiding the truth, we would still be confused, I don't know why, we are really confused." At this moment, knowing His Majesty's dragon body, the two of us naturally swore allegiance to the death and escorted His Majesty's safety. ”
Although Xiaoyao Palace is a cult in the rivers and lakes, it has always been unsubject to the control of the imperial court, but at this moment, the country has fallen, foreign races are rampant, and all the southern Han people in the world have never forgotten the previous dynasty, and if they have the opportunity, they should spare no effort to be loyal. At this moment, since the two of them knew that Zhao Shengnai was the Son of Heaven, they were excited, and they were no longer under Li Linhong.
Huang Tianji hesitated a little, glanced at Zhao Sheng, and Zhao Sheng said: "This General Li has worked hard and made great achievements, and he has accompanied me all the way here, and he treats me like a relative. And these two chivalrous warriors are extremely martial arts, rare in the world, with the help of the two of them, our trip will definitely have a smooth journey. ”
As soon as these words were spoken, Huang Tianji immediately became extremely affectionate with the three of them, and greeted them with warmth, caring and caring.
Zhao Sheng looked at Li Shuxiu reluctantly, Li Shuxiu smiled slightly, and said in his ear: "I take care of the Jiuhe County Lord and leave, you don't have to worry about me." ”
Zhao Sheng understood, and said with a wry smile: "In that case, Sister Li, let's leave here, and there will be a period later." ”
Li Shuxiu immediately said goodbye to everyone, everyone shared weal and woe this time, and spent the disaster together, and they all had the intention of being close to each other, but Li Shuxiu's intention to go alone was very resolute, and everyone invited her for a long time, seeing that she was unmoved, she could only ride her horse and whip, leave here, and gallop towards the desert.
After everyone disappeared, Li Shuxiu walked down the sand dune. She had previously hidden the Lord of Jiuhe under a pile of boulders, and the rest of the people really didn't notice it.
She picked up the county lord of Jiuhe, identified the direction, carried the exercise of the "maggot and fly corpse sea sword", and ran towards the direction of the Kazakh village.
――――
She ran for a long time, driving away the tiredness of the body, and the more she ran, the faster she was, she was slightly happy, and she forgot the sorrow in her heart for a while.
Suddenly, on a hillside beside her, she saw a woman, who was wearing a green gown, and behind her was an astonishing bright moon.
Li Shuxiu couldn't help but rush towards her.
When she came to the bottom of the hillside, she saw the woman's face clearly, and could not help but be shocked, she saw this woman with green hair and green eyes, her appearance was gorgeous and vulgar, her whole body was like mist, hazy, and her eyes were seductive, and she was actually a stunning beauty.
The woman smiled at her and said, "Did you make it the 'Maggot Fly Corpse Sea Sword'?"
Li Shuxiu felt that it was difficult to breathe, his mind was confused, and he didn't know how to answer, so he could only nod silently.
The woman sighed, "The person who taught you martial arts is really unpredictable. ”
Li Shuxiu said bitterly: "He is dead." ”
The woman shook her head and said, "He always doesn't know how to make trouble, where can he die so easily? But he can be regarded as an outlier among these eccentrics. ”
She stretched out her slender hand and stroked the ground for a long time, the sand ten zhang away in front of her suddenly made a loud noise, the sand and dust turned over, and a clear spring gushed out, and there was a figure in the spring, which rolled in the air a few times and slowly fell beside Li Shuxiu.
Li Shuxiu's heart was extremely entangled, happy and sad, because she found that the person who was brought out by the spring water was the goshawk.
The woman patted the goshawk a few times and sighed: "Fortunately, he is buried not far from the ground, otherwise it will take a lot of twists and turns to get him out." Well, he's back to normal, and he'll be able to wake up soon, but he doesn't know if his mind will be clear after he returns. ”
Li Shuxiu hesitated and asked, "He was possessed by a ghost before, and he acted cruelly, and now he ...... Has the ghost been exorcised at this point?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then laughed, she nodded, and said, "That's right, ghosts, ghosts, is that what he said?" He was indeed possessed by ghosts, don't worry, he is clean at the moment, and he won't do those scary things." ”
Li Shuxiu was relieved, stared at the woman for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Under Li Shuxiu, I don't know your honorable name." ”
The woman said casually: "You can call me A-Qing, if there is a chance in the future, we will meet again." For now, I'll leave this troublemaker to you, and if you want to kill or chop, listen to your convenience. With that, she smiled, waved goodbye, and jumped lightly, but it was volleyed away, and disappeared as far as the eye could see.
Li Shuxiu silently recited Ah Qing's name, feeling that he was crazy, or had strayed into a fairyland. She looked at the full moon and sat down in a daze, unable to stand up for a long time.
