Chapter 2 Chapter 2 God's Sword

Although the wooden house is not big, it is more than enough to squeeze eight people.After everyone dried their clothes by the fire and settled down in their living quarters, I said, "You guys rest, I'll watch the night." Wu Wanling said: "Commander, let me do it..." I smiled and said: "Stop arguing. I hope tomorrow will be a good day. Let's hurry up and reach Futun City." The others all went to bed.Wu Wanling sat beside me and said, "Commander, are you in good health?" I bent my arms and said, "I can still bear this. You should rest early, and you will come to watch the night tomorrow."

Wu Wanling added some firewood to the fire, and said, "I still can't sleep." "What's wrong? Are you not full?" It's not too bad to eat now.Along the way, because of the fire, there was a world of difference compared to the time in Gaojiu City.I stretched out my hands to warm myself by the fire to make my body warmer, and I couldn't help but make a joke. Wu Wanling was not in the mood to joke with me, and said, "Commander, do you think we will be safe when we arrive at the Xifu army garrison?" I didn't understand what he meant for a while and said: "What's the matter? Are you afraid that the Xifu army will rebel?"

"I'm not worried about that." He looked at the window.It was still raining outside the window, and the rain hit the wooden window, making a sound like drumming, and the rain dripped in through the cracks.In the middle of the room, the fire was all charcoal. There was no smoke. The red charcoal fire made people feel warm, and the smell of what they had just eaten still remained in the air. "The Xifu army formed its own system, and they also have a high self-esteem. They had victories with Li Tuan, but they failed to win. The prince had defeated Li Tuan as soon as he arrived. At that time, I felt that the Xifu army was very dissatisfied. Now we are retreating. Come back, even if they believe that we are not deserters, will they take the opportunity to disadvantage us?"

I couldn't help but shiver, speechless.Indeed, Wu Wanling's worries were not superfluous. After the Marquis Wu captured Fudun City, I could see that the Xifu Army was somewhat dissatisfied. They probably felt that they had fought bloody battles with Li Tuan, but it was Marquis Wu who came to claim the victory.We are defeated across the board, will the Xifu army take this opportunity to vent their dissatisfaction?If you put yourself in the same way as others, according to the style of Shen Xiping's right army, I'm afraid he will do so. The Xifu army has been in the frontier for a long time, and their biggest source of troops is military households, that is, families who have been in the army for generations. The whole army always maintains a strength of 50,000 people. When Li Tuan was in power, he could mobilize a maximum of 200,000 troops in Tianshui Province However, the 200,000 army and the 50,000 Xifu army are at a stalemate, which also shows the combat effectiveness of the Xifu army.However, I heard from Lu Gongxing that although the Xifu army cannot be said to be arrogant, their combat effectiveness can only be displayed in areas with a lot of mountains like Tianshui Province. Once they reach the plains and water villages, they will be discounted .The horses of the Xifu Army are also mountain horses that are a specialty of Tianshui Province. They are not big, and they don't run fast, but they have great strength and are suitable for traveling on mountain roads.If it is on flat ground, the mountain horses are far inferior to the Wan horses commonly used by the imperial army, so Wuhou did not order them when he ordered troops.In fact, the Xifu army was fighting Li Tuan's army at that time, and they were unable to separate their troops to go out.

At that time, the Xifu Army probably already had a grudge against the Imperial Army. I pondered and said, "Yes, we have to guard against this. General Wu, what do you mean?" He said: "I really don't know. Relying on my own strength, it is really difficult to return to the imperial capital. It would be best to get the help of the Xifu Army. Sigh, I hope that is my way of judging the heart of a gentleman with a villain's heart." Bar." I looked at a few people sleeping on one side.There used to be a pile of hay in this room, which was probably also used to feed the horses. After we spread it out, the four women were lying on a corner, and Zhang Longyou and Xue Wenyi were lying on a corner, sleeping soundly.Of course it is uncomfortable to sleep here, but compared with the ups and downs along the way, it is not so much better.

I was annoyed by Wu Wanling's words, and sighed: "Okay, I'll deal with the Xifu army alone. If the Xifu army is against me, you can escape on your own." Wu Wanling said: "Commander, how can this be done..." "Needless to say," I waved my hand, and shouted, "General Wu, Mr. Zhang, Xue Gongzheng and those four girls have to rely on you to escort us to the imperial capital. If the Xifu army refuses to help us, there is no need to send them both there. Go. That's it, you go to rest. But I think the commander-in-chief of the Xifu Army will not be so stingy."

Wu Wanling was speechless for a while, he bowed to me, and lay down next to Zhang Longyou silently. I added more firewood to the fire, and at this moment, I took off the soft armor on my body.When those women were drying their clothes earlier, I ordered Zhang Longyou and Wu Wanling to turn their backs to them, and Xue Wenyi couldn’t move, and he couldn’t see it from his angle, so I’m not afraid of him peeping—although, I'd also love to see how she looks when she changes clothes. I took off the soft armor, and the underwear had already stuck to the flesh.For so many days, I haven't taken off the soft armor, and now that I untie it, I feel relaxed and happy.I opened the door and walked out.

The rain hit the body, and every raindrop was as heavy as a stone.All the sweat, blood, and dried mud marks on my body were washed off.I took off my underwear, washed it in the rain, and put it back on.After all, there are four women in the room who want me to warm up naked by the fire. If they see it, they will scream. After putting on my underwear, I washed my soft armor again.The soft armor can't be worn on my body anymore, I want to put it in a place far away from the fire to dry.Soft armor can't be baked, I don't know if it can be done tomorrow. After washing these, I took out the Baipi knife again.The Baipidao was like a piece of ice in the rain, and it seemed that even the raindrops were being forced away.I looked at the bright blade, and for some reason, the eight-character inscription on the handle became clearer in the darkness outside.

It's not easy to be single-handedly. A steel knife cuts gold and jade, no matter how it is used, people's hearts will still remain the same as before, and cannot be enslaved by the knife.That is the meaning of the inscription on the knife. As I washed the knife, my heart became heavier and heavier.Marquis Wu once said that I have the benevolence of a woman, and Lu Gongxing also said that I am not decisive enough, there is nothing wrong with those.Perhaps, in essence, I am not suitable for military service. But now that he's a soldier, so what? I washed the knife, shook off the water droplets on the knife, and opened the door to go in.I sat down by the fire, only then did I feel a little cold.Although he recovered from his illness, he still felt chills when he sat down.I sat around the fire and let the heat evaporate the moisture from my body.The light of the fire made me red, outside, the rain was still falling endlessly, the snores of Wu Wanling and Zhang Longyou one after another, mixed with the sound of the rain, forming a strange tune.Unknowingly, I held the knife, and my eyelids closed involuntarily.

I don't know how long it took, but I was half asleep and half awake when I suddenly heard light footsteps.Although the sound was very slight, it sounded like it was exploding in my ears, and I opened my eyes suddenly. The rain had stopped at some point, and outside the half-closed door, a ray of moonlight was shining in, lying across the ground like a long sword.There was very little fire in the pit, and a pile of white ash had accumulated on it.I stood up silently, holding the Baipi knife tightly in my hand. The clothes were dry too, but the soft armor was still damp.I stood in front of the door, and the moonlight leaking in through the crack of the door was also like a long sword, lying across my body.

The footsteps were approaching slowly.After the rain, the surroundings became even more silent, and the footsteps became even louder.However, this voice is quite strange, and the steps are very crisp and clear. At this time, the ground is full of stagnant water. If I walk outside, I will definitely be muddy, and there will be waves of water.However, the footsteps sounded like they could only be stepped on dry and hard ground, and they were step by step without any stagnation. Even if the person was walking on dry ground, he always stopped and did not move. so smooth. Who the hell is that? I opened the door carefully, and the person stepped out. Under the moonlight, in the distance, a person is walking.Because he was carrying the moonlight behind his back, he couldn't see his face clearly, he only knew that the man was wearing a big bamboo hat on his head and a long gown on his body.This outfit looks a bit like a legal person, I took a step forward and said in a low voice, "Who is this person?" That person must not have expected that there would be someone, and he stopped when he heard my voice.After a while, he said, "Who are you?" This man's voice is very strange, I can't tell his age.His bamboo hat covered his face like an umbrella, and I couldn't see his appearance.I said: "I'm a passerby, may I ask, are you from the Xifu Army?" As soon as we entered the house, we guessed who the owner of the house was.Wu Wanling said that it might be the house where the patrol soldiers of the Xifu Army stayed outside temporarily, because he saw traces of a knife on the firewood stored in the house, and that knife was the big hook knife commonly used by the Xifu Army.Although this person is not wearing a military uniform, he may be a member of the Xifu army under the legal system, but he may also be the remnant of Li Tuan's troops in Tianshui Province.At this time, it is definitely not an ordinary person who walks alone in this kind of mountains.Just because I can't be sure, I can't say I'm an Imperial Army either. He pondered for a while and said, "Is it a passerby?" His tone was full of disbelief.I was a little uneasy, I really couldn't figure out his details, so I said bravely, "Yes." "From the south?" I said, "Yes. Because of the war." If I say from north to south, I'm afraid it will be self-defeating.Since the imperial army marched south, the people had only fled east to north, and only the people in the south of Gaojiu City had fled to the south. If people in Tianshui Province fled south, no one would believe it. He stood up straight, as if thinking about something.Now I was five or six feet away from him, but somehow it seemed to me that he seemed extremely far away from me. In the sky, the moonlight was as misty as water, and under the moonlight, puddles of puddles of water were shining brightly, as if there were countless moons on the ground. He suddenly smiled and said, "It's not a civilian, but a remnant soldier from the Imperial Army?" Has the news of the collapse of Wuhou's Southern Expeditionary Army reached here?I was slightly startled, and said, "You know?" "I didn't expect that there were such people in the Imperial Army who could escape from the city." What does he mean by that?I couldn't help but grasp the handle of the knife tightly and didn't speak.He couldn't tell what position he had in his words, but he didn't seem to have a good impression of the Imperial Army.Could it be that what Wu Wanling said was true, the Xifu Army took a gloating attitude towards the defeat of Wuhou's Southern Expedition Army? I said, "I don't know who you are yet." He put his hands behind his back and laughed loudly: "You human beings are really unfortunate. It was a mistake for the Emperor of Heaven to choose you as masters before." What did he mean by that?My head was confused by him for a while, but I immediately shouted: "What do you mean 'you humans'? Aren't you a human?" "of course not." "Then what are you?" He stood straight, then suddenly raised his head and said, "I am a god." Under the moonlight, his bamboo hat almost covered half of his body, and he didn't necessarily look like a god, but a little wretched.That must be a lunatic, right?Holding the saber in my hand, I smiled and said, "If the Emperor of Heaven chooses a god like you to be his master, the Emperor of Heaven's mistake will be even greater." As soon as I said this, the surrounding air suddenly seemed to cool down, as if it was about to condense.I was taken aback, but saw his eyes start to light up. That kind of gaze carried a dangerous and murderous look, which was simply not what a person should have. I was taken aback, grasped the knife tightly in my hand, and stared at him intently, for fear that he would make any move.The man stood straight, and said slowly, "If you cut off your tongue right away, your life will be spared." I snorted and said, "Forget it, if you don't cut your tongue, I have no intention of taking your life." As soon as I said this, I only heard him yelling, and I saw stars and dots in front of my eyes, and I don't know what happened.I was startled, and I stretched out my hand to swing the knife, but as soon as I raised the knife, I felt a pain in my shoulder. A thin long sword appeared in that person's hand, and the tip of the sword was stabbing my left shoulder! I was frightened by the quickness of this man's sword.But I don't want to be slaughtered by others. I know I won't be his opponent, but I still want to fight.As soon as I gritted my teeth, I waved the knife in front of me, and I took a step back.At this time, the tip of his sword was still stuck in my shoulder, I took a step back, his blade came out of my body, I could hear the sound of the sword scratching my shoulder bone, followed by a A piercing pain. I was gasping for breath, looking at the blood flowing from the wound on my left shoulder out of the corner of my eyes, but I couldn't say a word.Originally, I thought that even if I lost the enemy, it would not be so ineffective, but when I really fought, I found that I was indeed vulnerable. Who the hell is this?His swordsmanship is completely different from what I have seen, even Mr. Zhong Zhanyu, who taught us swordsmanship in the military academy, is far inferior to him.However, his sword technique is too flashy, although it is mysterious, but its strength is not too great, I can get out of his sword stab in one go, since he stabs not too deep.This kind of swordsmanship is probably only suitable for step-down fighting. If he is compared with my long spear on horseback, he may be useless. It's just that now it's the next step. The wound on the left shoulder was still bleeding, but it was already a little dry, and there was only a thin streak of blood flowing from the wound.The chest of my underwear, which had just been washed and dried, was stained with a large puddle of blood again, so it was washed in vain.I looked at him and felt my heart beating violently. "It's okay, it actually dodged my sword." He grinned.I put the knife in front of my chest, sealed the door, and said: "I will never cut my own tongue, do you still want to kill me?" He looked up and seemed to glance at me.Under the big bamboo hat, I couldn't see his face clearly, but I also felt a murderous aura coming from under the bamboo hat, and I just heard him say: "Maybe!" When these two words came out, the sword light was like a white rainbow passing through the sky, and it had arrived in front of me.I was fully on guard, but his sword still made me flustered. I only had time to raise the knife to my jaw, but his sword had passed through the gap of Baipi knife dancing, and stabbed in front of me, almost touching my lashes. If it was the sword that was stabbed just now, I could still say that I was caught off guard, but this time I was concentrating on his sword, but I still had no strength to fight back.If he advances another inch with this sword, he will stab me blind in one eye.He can stop at this critical moment, that is to say, he still hasn't exerted his full strength. With such a fast sword technique, even if the strength is not too great, I still have no strength to fight back.Baipidao only had time to raise it to his chest, but his eyes were sore and sore from the wind of his sword, and tears flowed out.I stood there in a daze, not knowing what to do. "The Imperial Army is nothing more than that." He smiled softly, and the sarcasm in his laughter was even stronger.Angry and ashamed, I shouted, "What are you going to do?" "Your tongue." Under the big bamboo hat, his voice seemed to come from a well.I yelled: "Fuck you!" With a kick on the ground with my left foot, the man suddenly jumped four or five feet backwards. At this moment, I have thought of many counterattack ideas, but none seem to work.But when it comes to this kind of time, of course I will never give in. If I really cut my own tongue, it is a chance of a narrow escape, so I have to try. He certainly didn't expect my jump.When I just jumped out, his sword had already pierced forward, before my feet landed, I felt another pain in my left arm, I knew it must have been struck by another sword on my arm.He probably wanted to kill me, but he didn't expect that I would jump back, and the sword missed. Although I took a sword, my confidence grew a bit.Although his swordsmanship is strong, he has not yet reached the point where he can play with me in the palm of his hand. This time, he missed my vitals.However, if I strike back rashly, I'm afraid I will die. I stood in the middle of the road, with the big river more than a dozen feet away on the left and a forest on the right. Is it really only possible to escape? Seventeen or eighteen thoughts went through my mind, but I knew none of them were useful.The best way at this time is to escape.If I can escape into the woods, it will not be easy for him to catch me, and it will not be so easy for him to draw a sword in the woods. He took a step forward, the long sword in his hand gleamed, and it looked like he was about to make another move.I didn't wait for him to make a move, the man flicked to the side, and then fled to the right.Unexpectedly, as soon as my body turned to the right side, the sword light suddenly flourished, as if a silver wall had been built on my right side. He really wants to kill me.I took a deep breath, and I was already a little to the right, but I kicked my right foot, kicked on the ground, and my body sprang to the left. Regardless of whether it is left or right, it is a great fortune to avoid his elusive sword. As soon as I rushed to the left, the sword light suddenly came to the left. Apparently, he also wanted to force me into the river.But now where is there any other way to think about?As soon as I gritted my teeth, people had no choice but to rush to the left. On the left is a soil slope. A heavy rain just now washed away all the floating soil on the surface. As soon as I stepped on the soil slope, I felt my feet slip.At this time, where is it still standing firmly, the person has fallen down.This fall was a mess, I slid down the slope and got wet mud all over my body. As soon as my feet stepped on the ground, I threw the Baipi knife on the ground and struggled to stand still.By the moonlight, I saw him also rushing down the slope. Of course he didn't look as embarrassed as me, and when he rushed down, he was light and delicate, and his steps were very steady.However, his rushing down was not fast, as if he was a little cautious. It seemed that the ground was so slippery that even he had to be careful.How could I allow him to come down so easily, shouted loudly, kicked his feet, jumped up, and slashed at him with Baipi Dao. He wants to kill me, so of course I don't have to be polite to him. He was walking down, and my knife was aimed at his shoulder when I slashed.I have exhausted all my strength for this knife, and I can't help but feel a little regretful.If I hit him with a knife, I'm afraid his body will be cut open by me.But now that he has shot with a knife, how can he get it back? I'm afraid he was also startled by this knife, he never thought that I would dare to fight back like this at this time, at this moment Baipi knife was approaching his face, and he couldn't dodge it.I was a little regretful, but saw his body suddenly shrunk into a ball and turned backwards.His figure was not very tall at first, but he shrunk down so much that he looked like a ball. The Baipi Dao came to him, and with a "crack", it hit his bamboo hat, and he threw it away. The body turned three or four hollow somersaults one after another, jumped a foot away, and jumped onto the dirt slope. This time, he was no longer as calm as when he came here, and every step he took was stepping on dry soil.As soon as his feet landed on the ground, he happened to step on a puddle, and the water splashed all over the place, and the muddy water even splashed on me. It seems that he was also covered in muddy water, and he was very embarrassed. I wiped the muddy water on my face, and tightly held the Baipi knife in my right hand.I gained the upper hand with this knife, and I no longer have the feeling of fear just now.Although his sword skills are mysterious and unpredictable, but I may not have no chance of winning.I yelled, "Come on!" I didn't intend to kill, I didn't even want to fight him, but this man is so bullying that I can't help but be angry.If I had slowed down my attack just now, I am afraid that his sword would have passed through my heart.I grasped the knife, determined to give him a good fight. Unexpectedly, I just yelled a sentence, and when I looked up, I saw his appearance out of the corner of my eyes, and I couldn't help being stunned, and suddenly burst out laughing. He used to be dressed in a long gown, fluttering like a celestial being, but now his whole body was splashed wet, his clothes stuck to his body, and he looked very embarrassed, but there was nothing strange about it, it was his appearance that was funny.He has sharp-mouthed monkey cheeks, a short beard, two front teeth bared, and a fierce look in his eyes.It's just that with this wretched look, his ferocity is a little ridiculous. No wonder he used a bamboo hat to cover it.He didn't look very ugly, but he was funny no matter how you looked at him. He didn't look like a warrior at all.I know I shouldn't laugh so much, but looking at him, it's really funny. He was looking at me ferociously, as if he was about to pounce, but when he saw me laughing so loudly, he was startled, and hurriedly covered his face with his left hand, but immediately put it down again.Presumably he also knows that I have seen his face, and I can't hide it even if I want to. I was laughing so hard that my stomach hurt, when I suddenly saw his figure flash, and there was another blur in front of my eyes, and I felt a bit chilly on my face.I was taken aback, and I couldn't even laugh at this time.Although he looks so ridiculous, his swordsmanship is really not for fun, and I may not be able to block his sword with all my concentration, needless to say, I can't stand up now laughing. I didn't even take a look, the Baipi Dao had already danced in front of me, and I quickly took a step back.He is condescending, even if his strength is not as good as mine, but he has the advantage of height, I can't underestimate the power of his sword. As soon as he took a step back, he heard more than a dozen "crackling" sounds on the knife as if it had been hit by a torrential rain.The Baipi Dao was blocking my face, there was this sound, it was the sound of his sword hitting the Baipi Dao.I also know that his swordsmanship is extremely superb, but I didn't expect it to be so superb.Originally, I thought that even though I was inferior to him, now I started to feel faintly afraid again. This series of attacks was so fast that I couldn't see his sword clearly at all, so I could only dance the Baipi Saber in front of me by instinct.Probably he hated me so much that he wanted to stab my tongue with a sword, so all the swords and swords were aimed at my head.If he stabbed me in the chest, I don't know how many times I can dodge him. I blocked and retreated, secretly crying in my heart.Just now I thought his appearance was ridiculous, how can I laugh now.But every time he took a step back, his sword momentum did not decrease at all, and he followed me as if he was stuck to my body.After five or six steps, I felt that my feet were getting softer, and suddenly I sprained my feet, as if my toes were caught on a piece of wood, and I fell down. I must have retreated to the river.Aided by the rain, the river swelled so much that it was twice as wide.The river beach was originally rotten and soft, but now it was soaked by the rain, and it couldn't stand people anymore.At the same time as I fell, his sword finally passed through the defense of the Baipi Dao, and a sword pierced through the light of the sword, piercing my ear. If I hadn't just fallen, the sword would have pierced my head. I was startled and frightened, knowing that he was going to take my life.Although I dodged this sword by luck, but now I am falling to the ground, if he strikes again, how can I dodge it?But the ground was muddy again, and it was difficult for me to get up.I stretched out my hand and pressed it, only to feel that there was a piece of extremely rough rotten wood in the mud. There is no unparalleled road, I was about to lean on the wood and turn over and jump up, when he retracted the sword, suddenly the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, as if sneering, and the sword stabbed at me again.At this time, I had just supported half of my body, how could I dodge in time? Am I finished? By the river, there are many giant trees.These are the pillars of the shipyard shed hundreds of years ago. After hundreds of years of wind and rain, they have become as solid as a rock.The rough rotten wood that tripped me was probably also a fallen pillar.When the emperor set out to build a ship in Wendang County, there was also a battle here, and many soldiers who founded the country were killed here.I die here, and I deserve to die. I was thinking wildly, when suddenly, I felt a strong force coming from under my left hand, and the rotten wood was suddenly lifted from the mud.It looked like a giant was about to break out of the mud suddenly.I didn't know what was going on, but I felt my body lighten up and I was thrown up. Is it an earthquake? I've heard people say that every seven generations of emperors, the five provinces of the empire experience major earthquakes.Thirty thousand people died in that earthquake, and Lingxu Palace, the ancestral home of the Qingxu Tuna Sect, was completely destroyed that time.However, I remember that when I heard about the earthquake, "the earth shook and the mountains shook, and the sun and the moon dimmed." This time, there was no such phenomenon, and the surrounding area was still bright and clear. This toss was quite powerful, but fortunately I was ready to jump up, so I never lost my balance.It's just that I didn't expect that with such a strong force, I was thrown seven or eight feet off the ground and was flying towards the river. My water skills are not very strong. Although I will not drown if I fall into the water, my physical strength will definitely be compromised after climbing ashore.I could see clearly that I was flying towards a pillar standing in the water. As soon as I reached the edge of the pillar, I stretched out my left hand and grabbed the top of the pillar.As soon as the palm of the hand touched the cold and rough wood, with a sudden force, the person stuck to the pillar and his legs were coiled. Back then, in order to capture Shen Xiping's head, I sneaked into the snake man camp, facing so many snake men, relying on the advantage of the terrain of the flagpole, I still had the upper hand.Now that the pillar is in the water, I am even more in a favorable position.With a firm mind, I also drew my right hand back, and the Baipi knife that I had been holding in my hand was finally inserted into the scabbard. On the top of this pillar, how can I escape, now I don't think too much about it.At least, for now, I don't have to worry about my life. As soon as he settled down, he just heard the human say: "Good skill!" There was also a bit of surprise in his voice.I couldn't help being a little funny, he probably thought I could jump so high by myself. Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a strange roar in the mud on the river bank, and a black shadow suddenly jumped out of the mud. Snake man! Even though I knew that the Snakeman Army was still far away, I still shivered and broke out in a cold sweat. It was a long shadow, but I knew right away it wasn't a snake man.That is much shorter than the snake man, who is usually one foot three or four feet long, but this shadow is only over six feet, half shorter than the snake man.Moreover, the snake man has no feet, and this shadow has two feet besides a tail. That's a dragon. No one has ever seen a real dragon, but I heard that there are often dragons on the rivers and seas, but I have never seen one that grows like this.Even though I was more than two feet away from the dragon, I still felt palpitations. It wasn't the rotten wood that tripped me just now, it was this dragon.The dragon was probably sleeping soundly in the mud when I stomped and pressed it and woke up. The man must have been taken aback.The appearance of the dragon is already extremely terrifying, and it is even more strange and inexplicable when it comes out of the muddy water.He even stood there a little bit blankly, not moving, and suddenly, with a "hoo", he yelled, and he jumped up. He couldn't jump as high as I did, only four or five feet.But it was in the mud, and he jumped up completely with his own strength.As soon as he jumped up, the tail of the dragon had swept across the ground where he was standing just now, and was hitting the muddy ground, making a large splash of water. If the dragon's tail hit him just now, I'm afraid his brain would burst.His ability is indeed extremely good, and I can't help but sigh a lot. I was able to hold on for a long time under his sword, half of it was my luck, and the other half was because he didn't put in all his strength. He jumped in the air, and the sword in his hand flashed past, but he saw that dragon roared, and blood came out of its head.With a sword, the man cut off the dragon's skin. The skin of the dragon is extremely hard. I have seen the shields of the dragon displayed in the army, which are as hard as iron and stone.This man can cut the skin of the dragon with a single sword, which is really remarkable.Even though I was on top of a pillar two or three feet away from him, I couldn't help shivering. In this way, even if I can escape his sword, I don't know how to escape this dragon. The dragon was injured and rolled violently in the muddy water.The river near the shore almost seemed to be boiling, with muddy water splashing everywhere.The man was in the muddy water, he had already borrowed the power of the sword, and jumped to the shore. Unexpectedly, when he was still in the air, a long shadow suddenly jumped out of the muddy water. Another dragon! This dragon was not as big as before, but it was more nimble. It jumped out of the muddy water and had already bit him.I only heard him let out a scream, and the sword flew straight up, his body was dragged into the muddy water by the dragon, and the scream was only halfway out. With a sound of "dang", the sword fell on the hard ground on the river bank.The river beach, which was calm just now, was suddenly billowing with blood, and the two dragons rolled and rolled in the muddy water, making the river muddy.In the struggle between these two dragons, this person might not even have a piece of meat left. Strange to say, when I was desperately fighting with that person, his life and death was not something I would think about at all.But seeing him die like this now, I can't help feeling sad for a while. This person is very capable, if he joins the Imperial Army, his official position must be higher than mine.Such a person didn't even leave a name, not even a trace, and disappeared from the world. I was coiled under the pillar, not daring to let out the air.The two dragons finally stopped after fighting in the muddy water, and the river finally calmed down. The moonlight is shining quietly, while the river is flowing, and a round of moon shadow is reflected in the water. Looking from a distance, it seems to be right in front of you, and it seems to be infinitely far away. I hugged the pillar tightly, for fear that it would slip down in my sleep.Fortunately, the pillars are very rough, so this kind of thing will not happen.Finally, I closed my eyes and fell asleep with my arms around the pillar. I don't know how long it took, but I vaguely heard someone calling me.I opened my eyes, but felt that the sun was piercing my eyes like thousands of small knives, and I couldn't even open them.When I woke up, I had forgotten where I was. At this moment, I heard Wu Wanling shouting: "Commander! General Chu! Where are you?" I craned my neck and cried, "Here I am!" Listen to the sound, they are not far away.There was a fight last night, but it was actually not far from the hut.I just shouted, but I heard someone rushing over, and immediately, the figures of Wu Wanling and Zhang Longyou appeared on the slope. When Wu Wanling saw me, he said loudly, "Thank God! General Chu, why did you get there?" After he finished speaking, he wanted to come over, and I shouted, "Stop! Don't come over! There are dragons in the river!" As if to prove my point, a dragon leaped from the river and dragged a waterfowl into the water.Wu Wanling was taken aback, and said, "What's going on? Commander, how did you get up there?" I didn't know how to answer, Zhang Longyou said: "General Wu, don't talk about this, save General Chu quickly." Wu Wanling looked at me and said, "General Chu, I'm going to get the rope." The roll of rope was also rolled with bark along the way, and it was fine for binding things, but it would not work for me to slide over with the rope.I was just about to say that Wu Wanling has already left.Not long after, he came over with the coiled rope and a bow. Wu Wanling tied the rope to an arrow and said, "General Chu, be careful." This arrow is also made, the arrow is just to sharpen the bamboo branch.Wu Wanling's arrow had already broken, and he aimed at me.He doesn't shoot fast, and his shooting skills are not very good, but fortunately the distance is very close, if I can't catch an arrow, I will pull it back and shoot again.On the third arrow, I finally grabbed the arrow. I pulled the rope, pulled it, and said: "No, this rope is not strong enough, and it is not long enough to use double strands." Wu Wanling smiled and said, "General Chu, this rope won't work, the old vine can do it. Just wait for me, I'll go and cut down an old vine." There are a lot of old vines of that kind in the woods, and we also cut a few sections to use as ropes, which are as thick as an arm and quite tough.If it is a hundred-year-old air-dried vine, it is no different from a stick.I patted my head and said, "Yeah, why didn't I think of that." Zhang Longyou grabbed the other end of the rope and said, "General Chu, don't worry." Wu Wanling came back after chopping a large roll of old vines.The vine was very heavy, and the three or four feet long vines made him almost unable to stand still.He tied the old vine to one end of the rope, I pulled it over little by little, tied the old vine to the post several times, tried it out, and said: "Hold on." Wu Wanling said, "Don't worry." I hooked the old vine with both hands and feet, and slid down from one end.Sliding over was really frightening. If I jumped out of the muddy water again, I would definitely die. Thankfully, I landed safely.As soon as I stepped on the ground, I just felt my feet go soft and I almost fell down.Probably because I was desperately hooking the pillar on the pillar and exhausted all my strength.Wu Wanling supported me and said, "General, why did you run there? We were shocked when we woke up and didn't see you." I shook my head and said, "It's hard to say." They just said what happened last night, and they were all a little tongue-tied.When I was talking about the two dragons dragging the man into the muddy water, I felt terrified and looked at the river beach.In the morning, it was calm and quiet, and nothing could be seen. Zhang Longyou said: "General Chu, did you really encounter this? Could it be..." I was a little angry and said: "Mr. Zhang, do you think I will lie to you?" However, looking at the peaceful river beach, even I wondered if I was dreaming.But anyway, it was always true that I was on top of that post in the morning. Wu Wanling suddenly said: "What General Chu said is the truth." He bent down, groped in a puddle, and took out a sword. Zhang Longyou exclaimed: "Really!" He reached out for the sword and took a look.I said: "That man's swordsmanship is very strange, I am not his opponent at all." Wu Wanling said: "Commander, don't look down on yourself too much. With Commander's ability, you will never be able to defeat him. At least now you are doing well, and he is dead." As soon as I heard him say "it's all right", I remembered that I had been hit by a sword on my left shoulder and left arm.I looked at my shoulder, luckily the blood had stopped.I smiled bitterly and said, "My left shoulder has been stabbed twice in a row. Why do those people keep stabbing my left shoulder?" Zhang Longyou suddenly said: "General Chu, does that person really claim to be a 'God'?" I said, "Yes. What's the matter?" Zhang Longyou's face suddenly changed, and he muttered: "Could it be...Could it be..." 我道:“到底怎么了?别吞吞吐吐的。” 张龙友又看了看剑,道:“楚将军,那人只怕是上清丹鼎派旁支的弟子……” 我心头倒是一沉。那人虽不是我杀的,但也间接死在我手上。如果他和张龙友份属同门,我倒有些难以面对张龙友了。张龙友也猜到我的想法,道:“楚将军,你别往心里去,那其实不算我的同门了。” 我道:“是么?那是什么?” “上清丹鼎派一百多年前是剑丹双修,本来练剑不过为强身健体,但当时有一支一味练剑,不愿在丹鼎上下功夫。那时上清丹鼎派在朝中势大,本以丹鼎得帝君信任,若一味练剑,有违我派主旨。因此,当时上清丹鼎派法师,真归子老师的太师祖泰右真人将这一派逐出了上清丹鼎派。” "and after?" “后来谁知道,”张龙友又看了看那柄剑道,“反正这一支本来人数就少,逐出上清丹鼎派后就更销声匿迹了。只是,他们用的剑,上清丹鼎派里也用,你看。” 他将那剑放到我眼前,指着剑柄上的一个花纹。那是个圆,当中一根弯曲的线将圆分成两半,一半白一半黑,白的当中却又有个黑点,黑的一半里有个白点。我道:“这不是你们上清丹鼎派的标志么?” 张龙友点了点头,道:“清虚吐纳派和上清丹鼎派同出一源,都用的这个太极图。不过两派用的正好相反,我们黑的在左白的在右,而清虚吐纳派白的在左,黑的在右。这种剑,也只有法统的人才用,因为不适用马上击刺,军中根本不用的。” 我道:“是啊,军中的剑都是双手剑,比这种剑要大而重得多。” 张龙友把剑给我道:“楚将军,你可要小心点。这种剑术在马上没多大用处,可在步下,家师曾说,精于这种剑术,不会逊于军中万夫不挡的大将。” indeed.我想起那人如同电闪雷鸣般的剑术。我在那种剑术下根本没一点还手之力,若不是那鼍龙突然冒出来,我绝逃不过那人剑下的。我接过剑看了看,道:“张先生,这把剑还是你带着吧。” 张龙友道:“可是,没剑鞘啊,我也不好带。” 吴万龄笑道:“张先生,有薛工正在,你怕什么?他虽然没多大力气,做个剑鞘,那是容易之极的事。” 回到小屋中,一见我进来,薛文亦和几个女子都露出笑意。 这些天,相濡以沫,我们也更接近了。我看见她的脸上也闪过一丝欣慰,心头一阵温暖,几乎有点想落泪。
