Chapter 32 Bloody Wind and Rain Are Rivers and Lakes
Recently, an outstanding swordsman has risen, threatening to become famous swords all over the world.
Many of the famous swordsmen who fought against them fell like meteors in a short period of time.
"Nanyang Flying Goose" Jiang Zhongyuan was killed.
Huang Song, the head of Huashan, "Surprise Magpie in the Sea of Clouds", lost an arm.
Shaolin Grandmaster "Empty Gate Elder" Li Tianzhong was stabbed at a glance.
Facts have proved that the strength of the martial arts rookie "Wind Chasing Swordsman" Xie Caifei is indeed not to be underestimated.
The losers are all famous figures.
The rivers and lakes that were not calm were even more noisy.
So far, no one has been able to know the sword path of the "Wind Chasing Swordsman".
The dead are dead, and the survivors are gone.
It is rumored that Xie Caifei's swordsmanship is almost magical, but when he sees the arc, he doesn't see the sword shadow, and he has no moves and no style, but it is extremely exquisite.
Maybe it's magnificent and magical, maybe it's strange and elegant, maybe it's fierce and vicious, this kind of swordsmanship can't help but make people fascinated.
Along the way, Xie Chenfeng felt that the general trend of the world was gradually stabilizing.
Many villages were garrisoned by Qing soldiers.
The village is showing signs of recovery.
The evacuation chimney was slowly wafting with pale blue cooking smoke.
The farmer diligently cultivates the field, shouting the old ox to plow the field, sowing sweat and seeds of hope.
The faces of the long-suffering civilians inadvertently showed a smile that had not been seen for a long time.
Along the way, there were a few civilians who praised the political openness of the Manchus.
The Qing Dynasty implemented the "Renaming Field", and the land that originally belonged to the Ming Dynasty vassal kings was assigned to the hired farmers who are now cultivating.
The Qing Dynasty rewarded land reclamation and used this as a standard to reward and punish local officials.
The Qing Dynasty abolished the craftsman registration and abolished the poll tax.
Xie Chenfeng couldn't tell whether he was happy or sad, and there was an empty and melancholy sense of loss in his heart.
For many years, he has deeply hoped that thousands of families will be able to live and work in peace and contentment.
What Chongzhen and King Chuang failed to do, Shunzhi turned it into a reality.
All indications are that the policies of the Qing Dynasty were strict and effective.
This situation made Xie Chenfeng very emotional, and he was emotionally at a loss and it was difficult to accept it for a while.
How could the Han nation succumb to the civilized and backward Manchu Qing Dynasty?
He has always believed that the Han nation should be in the center of rule as a matter of course, and such a regime is justified.
However, there are more facts that show that the Manchu regime is gradually being accepted by more and more civilians.
Regardless of the old and new policies, Han Confucianism has had a xenophobic and nostalgic mentality since ancient times, especially in the period of changing dynasties.
This phenomenon of relapse tends to continue for a long time.
I don't know what the situation of the righteous army is now? Xie Chenfeng couldn't help but feel worried.
He can't wait to meet the "Little Chuang King" Li Laiheng now.
Along the way, civilians returning to their homes were constantly in good spirits, although in rags.
Their faces and eyes were filled with infinite longing and joy.
It is customary for civilians to stay overnight in the middle of the night.
Xie Chenfeng was also hurrying in the stars and the moon.
The future is bright and red, and the voices are noisy.
Xie Chenfeng was very curious and approached to watch.
It turned out that there were thirty or forty groups of homeless people around the bonfire watching the competition.
There are two young men in the circle who are dismantling the sword with a bamboo sword.
The bamboo end is wrapped in cloth and sticks to white ash.
As long as the bamboo sword hits the opponent's body, it will leave white spots.
The two people who confront each other come and go, sometimes A stabs B, sometimes B stabs A.
The crowd of onlookers applauded or laughed, and the atmosphere seemed lively and enthusiastic.
They rejoiced in their misery and forgot the bitterness of wandering for a while.
Xie Chenfeng found a free place to sit down and join in the fun, watching with interest.
The swordsmanship of those two young men is not very good, and it is difficult to reach the hall of elegance.
"Good!" the crowd burst into applause.
It turned out that a certain A used a very chic sword.
He jumped over the other man's head and bent backwards to swing his sword quickly and naturally.
It was indeed a very wonderful scene.
The small-eyed descendant said to Xie Chenfeng: "Man, do you know what this trick is?" Martial arts rookie 'Wind Chasing Swordsman' have you heard of it, he used this trick to defeat the invincible opponent in the world. ”
The little eyed posterior is undoubtedly a person who likes to fool.
Only those who have no brains will believe it.
Xie Chenfeng, who has been in the world for a long time, smiled and did not point out the flaws.
He made a look of loneliness, and looked at the afterlife with curiosity.
There are so many joys in life, why not enjoy listening to people boast?
Besides, the other party is funny and witty.
The other old man spoke, and the wrinkles of the weathered past seemed to be carved by a knife.
"Bragging, you're not afraid of flashing your tongue when you speak, how do you know that this is the trick of the 'Wind Chasing Swordsman'? I heard that he shot like lightning, and no one can see his sword path clearly. And I've also heard that the 'Wind Chaser Swordsman' doesn't like to have a third party present during a martial arts competition, so how did Ah Zhang learn his tricks?"
The little eyes turned red and complained: "Where did I offend your Uncle Kang? Why do you always raise the bar with me?"
Uncle Kang narrowed his eyes and smiled kindly. "I'm young, and I'm not reliable at all. ”
The descendants seem to have been wronged. "The 'Wind Chasing Swordsman' is really powerful, I heard Ah Zhang tell the story of the duel between the head of Huashan, the 'Cloud Sea Surprise Magpie' Huang Song, and the 'Wind Chasing Swordsman'. You know that Ah Zhang is a disciple of Huashan, and he also went with him on the day of the duel, and the venue of the duel was a small forest. The disciples waited outside, and Huang Song went in alone. After only a cup of tea, the screams of Huang Pine suddenly came from the forest. The disciples rushed in, and the scene in front of them was terrifying, chattering and terrifying. The 'Wind Chasing Swordsman' was nowhere to be seen, but Huang Song had already lost an arm. ”
Xie Chenfeng believes that the 'Wind Chasing Swordsman' is excellent in swordsmanship.
The "Ruthless Swordsman" once had a sparring with the Shaolin Grandmaster "Empty Gate Elder" Li Tianzhong.
Li Tianzhong's self-created Meteor Sword is far from ancient and has a unique wisdom.
Xie Chenfeng was not absolutely sure of winning him.
However, the "Empty Gate Elder" was defeated by the sword of the "Wind Chaser Swordsman".
The colorful narration of the later life made the old man sigh with emotion: "Today's rivers and lakes are really full of heroes, especially the young talents are better than the blue, and the four great swordsmen admitted by Bai Xiaosheng on the martial arts spectrum are all young people. ”
Xie Chenfeng knew that Bai Xiaosheng was a martial arts historian.
The little eyed posterior asked, "Who are the four great swordsmen?"
The old man twisted his beard, and his face showed a hint of self-satisfaction.
"The top of the list is naturally the 'Ruthless Swordsman' Xie Chenfeng, the second 'Heartless Swordsman' mysterious man, the third 'Blue Blood Swordsman' Yuan Chengzhi, and the fourth 'Wind Chasing Swordsman' Xie Caifei. ”
Hou Sheng said with a little frustration: "The rumors in the rivers and lakes are so boiling, and the 'Wind Chasing Swordsman' is only ranked fourth. ”
The old man had a well-informed expression, "You don't know this, the martial arts rankings are ranked according to the prestige of each person in the rivers and lakes." ”
The latter whimsically raised a question: "Suppose the 'Ruthless Swordsman' meets the 'Wind Chasing Swordsman', who will win?"
The old man was silent thoughtfully, and then slowly frequented his head. "It's hard to say, it's hard to say, it is said that the 'Ruthless Swordsman' of the Infinite Sword of the Infinite Sword is shocking and crying ghosts and gods, and it is said that the 'Wind Chasing Swordsman' of the Wind Chasing Sword is as fast as lightning, I think the two of them must have something outstanding to live up to their names, and there are many factors that determine the success or failure of life and death, because people are improvised, and only after waiting for the decisive battle can we know the real result. ”
"What year and month will it take?"
"I don't think it will be too long, the 'Wind Chasing Swordsman' threatens to be famous swords all over the world, and the Wuji Sword is like the sky, so it will naturally bear the brunt. ”
That must be wonderful! Not only the future generations think so, but I believe that many people in the rivers and lakes think so.
Curiosity hunters are eager to see it, and they all want the four great swordsmen to fight it out.
Thinking about it, it is so beautiful, the eight-handled famous sword dragon fights for the tiger, it must be unprecedented and magnificent, maybe handsome and free, maybe magnificent and spacious, maybe tragic and majestic, maybe terrifying and bloody.
Xie Chenfeng had a trace of worry in his heart, he was likely to have a fight with the "Wind Chasing Swordsman".
Xie Chenfeng didn't care about being famous, if he could avoid a senseless fight, he would rather admit defeat.
However, "Wind Chaser" will not give up the competition out of reserve, and he needs to rely on strength to prove his ability.
Duel is the death of the fish, and weakness is the natural enemy of the king.
Xie Chenfeng could only fight hard.
I don't know how many people are waiting for this thrilling duel.
The duel between the two came unexpectedly.
"Wind Chasing Swordsman" Xie Caifei is like a rock blocking Xie Chenfeng's way.
Xie Caifei's figure is slender and vigorous, like a sharp and sharp sword.
The thin face was angular and angular, like a knife carved with an axe.
The pupil seemed to be lifeless, like a white rock that was forever strong and eternally cold.
The callousness was chilling.
Xie Caifei asked knowingly: "Are you Xie Chenfeng?" He came for the "Ruthless Swordsman's" Wuji Sword, but he couldn't help but want to confirm it.
"Yes! You're ?——"
"Xie Caifei, known as 'Wind Chasing Swordsman'. ”
Xie Chenfeng asked a sentence that seemed superfluous: "What do you have to teach you?"
Xie Caifei replied succinctly: "Kill you." ”
After a few words, there was a dead silence like a tomb.
It's a kind of dead silence that is about to be decisive, suffocating and depressing.
Xie Caifei's hand didn't seem to move.
A dazzling white light suddenly pierced through the sky like a dragon.
"Wind Chasing Swordsman" was stunned for a moment, and his pupils were full of consternation.
He definitely didn't think that the other party would throw out the Infinite Sword in a desperate way.
It's a risky gamble, and it's a big no-no for the dueling side.
If one side avoids it, the defenseless other side has only a dead end.
However, the "Ruthless Swordsman" did just that, and it succeeded.
The Infinite Sword was deeply inserted into Xie Caifei's body.
Flying swords are naturally faster than swinging swords, but more adventurous.
"Ruthless Swordsman" is always a surprise that comes with the unexpected.
Only the 'Ruthless Swordsman' has this kind of wisdom.
Only the "Ruthless Swordsman" has this kind of courage.
The decisive battle that many people dreamed of turned out to be such an understatement.
There may be a trace of regret, but there is also a trace of mystery and legend.
The "Wind Chaser Swordsman" slowly fell down unwillingly, and there was a fleeting hint of depression and frustration written on the pupil.
Xie Chenfeng's expression was calm and calm.
He has seen through the rivers and lakes thoroughly.
That's what rivers and lakes are all about.
Maybe today you kill someone else.
Maybe someone else will kill you tomorrow.
If you can't even understand this truth, you don't deserve to mix in the rivers and lakes at all.
The excitement and longing for the first time in the rivers and lakes have long disappeared in the bloody rain.
Killing too many people can also be exhausting.
If you kill too much, you will get tired of it.
To start killing means to start getting involved in endless strife.
You never know who your next opponent will be, and you'll always have to wait and see.
Trying to wash your hands is almost minimal, and the relatives and friends of the deceased will only come to you one after another to seek revenge or challenge you until you are exhausted and finally die.
Life does not belong to you at all, it can be taken by others at any time.
The "Ruthless Swordsman" feels like a walking corpse.
The ambition and heroism of the first foray into the rivers and lakes have long since disappeared.
Xie Chenfeng felt more and more powerless and exhausted.
He longed for a haven where he could rest.
The warm and beautiful hometown of Huating Village is undoubtedly such a place.
On this day, after passing through Songjiang County, Huating Village is in the territory.
Xie Chenfeng's heart swelled with an urge to go home and have a look.
He will never forget his picturesque and simple hometown.
I wonder if Cheyenne is alive?
Xie Chenfeng finally made a choice: go back to his hometown to have a look.
Having already seen Huating Village, Xie Chenfeng's heart couldn't help but swell with inexplicable feelings, attachment, joy, bitterness and sadness.
After experiencing many hardships and dangers, Xie Chenfeng never imagined that he would be able to return to his dear hometown alive.
With his hometown imminent, Xie Chenfeng felt the closeness of his mother.
From the bottom of his heart, he affectionately and silently called for the hometown where he was born and raised.
Hometown, dear mother, the prodigal son who wandered the world has come back to see you.
Xie Chenfeng's eyes gradually moistened.
He didn't understand what the reason was.
This time, my attachment to my hometown is even deeper.
Why is it so self-inflicted?
Maybe there have been too many drifts and hardships.
Perhaps longing for a peaceful and warm life.
Just as a displaced passenger ship longs for a peaceful harbor.
Xishuihuan Village.
A verdant forest.
Xie Chenfeng spent most of his childhood here.
There are many of his childlike joys and longings here.
Xie Chenfeng remembered the close partners who used to play together.
The passage of time is really changing, which is gratifying and worrying.
Xia Wanchun is already a famous general.
The small merchant has also married **.
How many things are in the past, how can I look back!
Xie Chen couldn't help but think of the joyful and sad, eternal and fleeting good times he had spent with small businessmen.
He indulged in fond memories and walked thoughtfully through the woods.
簌, 簌, 簌......
There seem to be leaves falling.
Xie Chenfeng raised his head in shock, and couldn't help but be terrified.
Eight "wolves" suddenly stood in front of him, staring at him coldly and viciously, their pupils emitting gloomy fluorescence.
Xie Chenfeng felt their gaze like a cold and slippery poisonous snake slowly wriggling on his back.
The appearance of the eight people does resemble wolves, and they wear green tights.
The figure is slender and athletic, and the lines are distinct.
The temperament is fierce and tough.
They feel like ferocious wolves in every way.
It's definitely not an idle person.
Xie Chenfeng had already sensed this from their bodies as light as a leaf.
After the dialogue, I learned that these eight people were the "cold-blooded eight wolves" who were known for their ferocity.
They lived a barbaric and backward life in the primeval forest for many years, drinking blood.
Everyone has developed an amazing martial arts.
The usual martial arts are both artistic and practical.
The martial arts of the "cold-blooded eight wolves" are dedicated to killing, simple and fierce.
A slender and chilling soul chasing knife.
I don't know how many souls have been wronged under the knife.
I don't know what kind of conditions the "Heartless Swordsman" promised.
The "cold-blooded eight wolves" actually worked hard for it.
The eight of them hid in the old forest of Moriyama and pondered for a long time.
It took seven years for them to finally create an unprecedented "Star Shifting and Turning" formation.
Ranked first among the eight famous formations.
This formation is subtle and infinitely ever-changing, expanding to attack, gathering to defend.
The eight people are scattered according to the yin and yang gossip.
Since winning the world, it is said that the formation has not met a nemesis.
Now the "Eight Wolves" are encountering a "ruthless swordsman" who has never been defeated.
One side is the first place formation, and the other side is the first swordsman.
The battle is sure to be thrilling.
The "Eight Wolves" invariably raised the Soul Chasing Knife, and a suspended iceberg seemed to appear in the air.
The eight seem to be twin brothers, with little difference in clothing, body shape, appearance, and expression.
The movements are very coordinated and uniform, and the direction, angle, and height of the attack are almost the same.
Such a degree of tacit understanding cannot be formed overnight.
One can imagine how harsh and arduous the training the "Eight Wolves" underwent.
Everyone is a dead man who sees death as his home.
Any one of them can be called a martial arts master.
The "Star Shifting and Turning" array gradually rotated from slow to fast, like a violent tornado, showing an indestructible momentum.
The murderous aura is suffocating and dizzying.
The world is spinning!
Time seems to freeze.
The trees seemed to be trembling.
The "Ruthless Swordsman" held his breath and waited for the formation, his squinted eyes observing the formation coldly and calmly, keenly catching the opportunity to attack.
Strategic contempt, tactical emphasis.
Empty doors everywhere, golden shields everywhere.
Because there are no flaws without moves, and seemingly empty doors can be defended instantly.
The master of the master is that people can't find flaws.
Xie Chenfeng was indifferent to the mortal danger, and adopted a posture like an ordinary person who knew nothing about martial arts, just standing motionless in place, as if anyone could kill him at any time.
The "cold-blooded eight wolves" did not dare to attack rashly, and the master duel was to win by surprise.
If a move misses and loses the opportunity, the miss may become an opportunity for the opponent.
The situation turned out to be a bit deadlocked.
Now it's a contest of concentration and wisdom.
To make people die, you have to be impulsive or crazy.
To make the "eight wolves" impulsive, we must first make them underestimate.
The large number of people is undoubtedly the advantage of the "eight wolves".
The time wasted is eight to one, and the "eight wolves" are not worth it.
The "ruthless swordsman" sat down cross-legged as if there was no one around, picked up the wine jug and drank the wine leisurely, his mouth chattering as if he were hurting, "Hurt feelings, where is the old man? Unforgettable literary period cocktail party, a few lonely wind and moon, and repeatedly changing star frost. I don't have to hate this body for a long time, when will I forget the camp?"
Xie Chenfeng called out the good wine, and lay down on his back lazily.
