Chapter 28 Twenty-eighth time between life and death

Princess Pipa was lying beside him, and she looked even worse than him. Her expensive clothes were almost torn into pieces, and her jade legs were stained with dust and blood.Although the scorching sun had moved to the west, the residual power was still there, drying their faces, and there was a shaded place not far away, but they seemed to have no strength to walk there. Hu Tiehua covered his eyes with his hands, and murmured: "In our whole life, we will never find that old bug." Princess Pipa said sadly: "We shouldn't have gone this way." Hu Tiehua suddenly shot out anger in his eyes, and said loudly: "Yes, we shouldn't have taken this road, but is it my fault? Didn't you say that it is more useful than me in the desert? Why is it the same as me, and the dog is like Can't you just lie here?"

Tears welled up in Princess Pipa's eyes, and she said in a low voice, "I really shouldn't have come with you and dragged you down. Otherwise, if you drink that bag of water by yourself, at least you can support it for a while longer." Hu Tiehua was stunned for a while, sighed a long time, and said with a wry smile: "I'm such a bastard, how can I blame you for this kind of thing? I'm a big man, I can't even protect a girl, and I still have the face to lose my temper here." Princess Pipa threw herself on him suddenly, and cried bitterly: "It's not your fault, it's my fault... I just want to die now, and it's best to die right away."

Hu Tiehua caressed her hair, and murmured: "Even if we don't want to die, I'm afraid we won't be able to survive." Looking as far as the eye can see, the yellow sand is connected to the sky, and the sky is connected to the yellow sand. It seems that there is nothing but this hopeless dead yellow in the sky and the earth.Princess Pipa raised her head slowly, with a sad smile on the corner of her mouth, she said, "I'm actually going to die with you, is this something no one would have thought of?" Hu Tiehua laughed suddenly, and said: "It's a pleasant thing to be able to die with you, you...you are really a very beautiful girl, you...you..."

His throat seemed to be blocked by something again, and his hoarse laughter suddenly stopped, he just stared into her eyes, and hissed: "But we should die happier, shouldn't we?" Princess Pipa's body seemed to be trembling a little, and she said in a trembling voice, "You...you want me to..." Hu Tiehua's gaze has moved from her pupils to her legs. Although the legs were covered with dirt and blood, they were still slender, beautiful, strong and attractive. Hu Tiehua's Adam's apple rolled up and down, and his hoarse voice became even hoarse.But his eyes became hot, as if they were about to burn, his hand finally moved up to her waist tremblingly, and said word by word: "I want you...I really want you, apart from you, I don't know who I am." what else?"

Princess Pipa just kept trembling, her pale face gradually turned red, she stretched out her hand, trying to cover her bare legs with clothes. But the clothes that have been torn into pieces can't hide anything, this action only adds a little bit of temptation, not only tempting others, but also tempting myself. She felt her heart was about to jump out of her chest. Man, what a strange animal. People's desires often come when they should not come. When people's physical body is more tired, the desires will come more suddenly and stronger. Hu Tiehua finally hugged her tightly—under the shadow of death, his desire suddenly burned like a fire, and he could no longer contain it.

Princess Pipa closed her eyes, as if she was ready to bear it. The carnival before death is exactly what everyone has imagined. The sand is so soft and hot. Hu Tiehua turned over and pressed on her, and their sadness, sorrow, pain and despair seemed to be burnt out in this flame of desire. But at that moment, Hu Tiehua suddenly cried out in pain and jumped up. He covered himself with his hands, stared at Princess Pipa in surprise, and said in a low voice: "You...why are you like this...why are you like this? Don't you want to? " Tears welled up in Princess Pipa's eyes again, and she said softly: "I... I am willing. Before I die, I have decided to give everything to you, but I have to tell you one thing."

Hu Tiehua said: "What's the matter?" Princess Pipa closed her eyelids and said, "My...my body is no longer complete, and I have given it to someone else." Hu Tiehua clenched his fists tightly and hissed, "Who?" Princess Pipa said word by word: "That's him." Who is the "he" she mentioned, Hu Tiehua still doesn't know? Hu Tiehua was stunned as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on his head. Princess Pipa said sadly: "I want you too, I really can't control myself anymore, I just want to forget everything and die in your arms, but...but for some reason, I can't hide this matter hold you."

Hu Tiehua suddenly jumped up and shouted: "Don't say it...don't say it..." He kicked the sand frantically, and every time he kicked, he cursed: "Old bedbug." He kicked the sand all over the sky, almost surrounding himself. Princess Pipa said quietly: "Do you hate him very much now?" Hu Tiehua said: "Huh!" Princess Pipa sighed: "Even if you hate him very much, I don't blame you. I also hate him sometimes... No matter who is with him, victory and glory always belong to him. You can guess it just by looking at it, but no one will ever know what's on his mind."

Hu Tiehua's feet stopped suddenly, looked at her and said, "You think it's really a disadvantage for us to be with him, don't you?" Princess Pipa said: "Yes!" Hu Tiehua said: "But we are all willing to be with him. He didn't force us, did he?" Princess Pipa lowered her head and said, "Yes!" Hu Tiehua laughed loudly, and said: "After all, the two of us really have the same disease. Although we hate him very much, we can't help but like him." Princess Pipa sighed: "Sometimes, I don't know what it is for?"

Hu Tiehua smiled and said: "Because the old bug is indeed worthy of being liked by others, isn't it?" Princess Pipa was silent for a while, and finally she smiled and said: "You really deserve to be his good friend..." Her voice suddenly stopped, her eyes widened, and she looked at Hu Tiehua with horror and fear in her eyes. Although she opened her mouth wide, she couldn't make a sound. Hu Tiehua smiled and said: "Look at what? Did my head suddenly become two?" He reached out and touched his head, his voice suddenly stopped, his eyes immediately filled with horror and fear, he stared at his hand, speechless.

This hand was already stained red with blood. His head was already covered with blood. Hu Tiehua's head was not broken, where did the blood come from? Hu Tiehua raised his head, and saw two black shadows hovering and flying in the yellow sand all over the sky, and they flew lower and lower, and they were about to fall down. These were actually two eagles. The blood undoubtedly fell from the eagle, and the eagle was undoubtedly injured. If Hu Tiehua hadn't become numb, he should have noticed it long ago. Princess Pipa was surprised: "Where did this eagle come from? How could it be injured? Could it be that someone is coming from nearby?" Speaking of the last sentence, her surprise has turned into joy... As long as someone comes, they will have the hope of living. But Hu Tiehua's complexion became more serious. He suddenly remembered the flying eagle that snatched away the jewels from the dead bodyguards that day. The eagles in the desert are obviously also slaves of Shi Guanyin. Just listening to the sound of "chi", an eagle fell down like a meteor. Hu Tiehua picked it up and saw that the gray soft hairs on the eagle's belly had been stained red with blood, and the eagle's belly was almost torn open, and it turned out that it was wounded by a sword. The eagle was obviously stabbed by a sword when it was flying towards the person to attack. Hu Tiehua frowned, and murmured: "What a fast sword technique." Hope appeared in Princess Pipa's eyes again, and said, "Is it him?" Hu Tiehua said: "Absolutely not. If he shot, the eagle would definitely not be able to fly so far. Besides, even if it is a flat-haired animal, he would not be willing to kill it." At this time, another eagle also fell, and the fatal wound was also a sword wound. Princess Pipa said again: "Then, could it be your other friend?" Hu Tiehua shook his head and said: "No, Ji Bingyan never uses a sword." He suddenly smiled and murmured: "Anyway, these two eagles came at a very good time." Princess Pipa has not yet understood what he said.Hu Tiehua had already brought an eagle in front of her and said, "Eat it." Princess Pipa said in amazement: "Eat it? How can you eat it?" Hu Tiehua stared at her and said: "If you don't want to die, you must try to eat as much as you can, eat as much as you can, the more the better, you know?" Gourmets know that among all the meat in the world, the meat of the eagle is probably the roughest. Even if it is cooked, it may not be able to bite, let alone raw. Princess Pipa cut a pile with a knife, put it in her mouth like taking medicine, chewed with a frown, couldn't help but spit it out several times. Hu Tiehua said: "If you eat like this, you will never recover your strength. If you eat like me, you see..." He cut off the whole piece of bloody eagle meat, first sucked the blood on it, then cut the meat into thin strips, chewed it a few times, and then swallowed it forcefully. Princess Pipa dared not even look at it, and said with a bitter face: "I...I can't eat like this, I can't eat it." Hu Tiehua said with a smile: "You just need to close your eyes and imagine that what you are eating is white-cut mutton sauce and sesame seed cakes, and you will be able to eat it." Although the meat of the eagle is rough and the blood of the eagle is bloody, it is more useful to a dying person than any supplement. Hu Tiehua's face has gradually returned to blush, and Princess Pipa is also relieved. At this moment, a scream came from behind the sand dunes. Hu Tiehua changed color slightly, and said in a deep voice, "You wait here, I'll go over and have a look." Princess Pipa said: "I want to go too." Hu Tiehua sighed, and said with a wry smile: "Okay, come on... It seems that except for that old bug, no one else can control you... But you must be careful." Behind the sand dunes, the sword is shining, and the shadow of the sword is criss-crossing. The yellow sand was stained with green blood, several corpses were already lying on the ground, and there were more than a dozen big men in black, fighting bloody battles around the two of them. The big guys are all very vigorous and fierce, and their sword skills are also very heavy and fierce. What's especially frightening is that the murderous look on everyone's face is that they will never stop until they smash each other into thousands of pieces. But the martial arts of the two people who were besieged were much higher than theirs, their swords were flying like horses, and they were the authentic masters of Mount Hua. It's just that their strength has obviously declined, but the number of opponents is really too many. If they continue to fight like this, even if they are not killed, they will be exhausted to death. Princess Pipa and Hu Tiehua hid behind the sand dunes, and suddenly lost their voice: "Look, that...isn't that your groom?" Hu Tiehua naturally also discovered that among the two besieged, the one who was more sluggish and slower to move was actually a stone camel. The other person's swordsmanship is light and fierce, but it is the mysterious swordsman Wang Chong who disappeared in pursuit of the stone camel. The big guys in black are undoubtedly Shi Guanyin's subordinates. Hu Tiehua looked at it for a while, and finally lost his composure, and said, "This time, you must wait here." Princess Pipa bit her lip, and said: "But if someone escapes to my side, I can't just look at it and make a move, right?" Hu Tiehua nodded with a smile, then suddenly roared and flew out. The big men in black fought hard for half a day, with many casualties, until now, they began to gain the upper hand, and they were about to cut the two people who had been chasing for many days to pieces under the knife. Unexpectedly, at this moment, a loud shout like a thunderbolt was heard suddenly, a person descended like a parachutist during the day, picked up the head of a big man, kicked the other big man three feet away, and punched , knocking out all the teeth of the third big man. Look at that big guy again, one head has been crushed by him. As soon as he moved his hands and gestures, three people fell down. Such awe-inspiring power really made people tremble, and the big men couldn't help being frightened. The stone camel and Wang Chong over there were shocked, and the two swords cut out, and in the flash of the sword light, there were also two big men lying dead under the sword. Hu Tiehua shouted: "Hu doesn't want to hurt innocent people too much, as long as he puts down the knife, he won't hurt your lives." Unexpectedly, these big men seemed to be crazy, and they rushed over desperately. Wang Chong flicked the long sword in his hand, and shouted: "These people are insane, completely unreasonable, there is no other way but to kill them." Hu Tiehua sighed, and saw two knives coming towards him like a gust of wind. The eyes of these two big men were red, and they were really similar to two mad dogs. Hu Tiehua tilted his upper body and passed through the light of the saber. He bumped his left elbow outwards and lifted his right hand. The saber in the palm of the big man on the right was already in his hand. Hearing a "click", the ribs of the big man on the left were all broken by him, but after rushing a few steps, he roared back and rushed back with the knife. Hu Tiehua said: "Why are you bothering?" After the sentence was finished, both of them were lying in a pool of blood. Princess Pipa watched from a distance, and saw the big men rushing forward, knowing that they were dead but not flinching, and no one escaped. She also couldn't help sighing, and murmured: "If there are so many warriors in our Kucha country, how could we be in such a miserable situation like today?" But I don't know that these big men have already sold their lives to Shi Guanyin. Although they seem to have flesh and blood, they are actually just a group of walking corpses. The bloody battle finally stopped, with yellow sand and green blood, and corpses everywhere. The stone camel held the sword in both hands, gasping for breath, but his face was still expressionless like a rock. Wang Chong walked over to Hu Tiehua and gave a deep bow, and sighed: "I dare not thank you for your kindness. If it weren't for the hero Hu's help today, my brother There’s really no place to die.” Hu Tiehua looked at him, then at the stone camel, and said in astonishment, "Are you brothers?" Wang Chong said: "Although they are not flesh and blood, they are like brothers." Hu Tiehua was surprised and said: "So, you have known each other for a long time?" Wang Chong sighed: "I wandered all over the world just to find him. Speaking of which... it's been almost twenty years." Hu Tiehua fixed his eyes on the sword in his hand, and suddenly smiled and said: "For twenty years, the authentic Huashan sword technique has not been seen in the rivers and lakes. Your Excellency's 'Rainbow Piercing the Sun' move is truly the best in martial arts. .” Wang Chong's expression seemed to have changed slightly, and he forced a smile and said, "Hero Hu deserved it." Hu Tiehua stared at his face with burning eyes, and said with a smile: "As far as I know, even in the past when the Huashan Sword Sect was at its peak, there were only a handful of people who could make this move 'Shocking the Rainbow through the Sun' so exquisitely. That's all, but there is no such thing as 'Wang Chong' among Huashan master swordsmen, so you should tell me your real name now, right?" Wang Chong murmured: "I'm just a nobody in the rivers and lakes, so why should your Excellency..." Hu Tiehua didn't let him go any further, and said with a big laugh: "Now, isn't your Excellency willing to show your true colors to others? You must know that although a person's name can be concealed from others, the sword skills cannot be concealed from others." Wang Chong was silent for a long time, and finally heaved a long sigh, and said with a wry smile: "My life was saved by Hero Hu, so I really don't dare to lie to each other again." His voice paused for a moment before he continued: "To be honest, my surname is Liu, and my nickname is Biefei..." Hu Tiehua lost his voice and said: "Liu Biefei, is it possible that he is the disciple of Mount Huashan, the master of Huashan School in the past, the most famous "little dragon swordsman" besides the Seven Swords of Huashan?" Liu Biefei smiled miserably, and sighed: "The years are urging people, the young man in the past is now graying at the temples." Hu Tiehua's eyes flickered, he glanced at Shi Tuo, and said: "Since Your Excellency is Liu Daxia, he..." Liu Biefei seemed to have made up his mind, and said word by word: "He is my elder brother Huangfugao." Hu Tiehua was shocked, and said: "Could it be that he is the head of the 'Seven Swords of Huashan', the name of chivalry spread throughout the eight states, and the 'Swordsman of Benevolence' respected by all martial arts people in the world?" Liu Biefei said sadly, "Exactly." Hu Tiehua glanced at the "stone camel" again, only to see that he was staring blankly into the distance, as if he still didn't see or hear anything. How could this famous swordsman who was so handsome in the past become so handsome? Hu Tiehua couldn't help but sighed sadly, and couldn't help but said: "What kind of hatred does Shi Guanyin have with Huangfu Gao Daxia? To make him so miserable?" Liu Biefei sighed: "There are many twists and turns, and it's a long story. Not only did Brother Huangfu become crippled by her, but my Huashan School's hundreds of years of foundation was ruined by this... this devil." Hu Tiehua was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Now, you have finally found him, what do you want?" Liu Biefei lowered his head and said, "I...I..." His voice was choked with sobs, and tears seemed to be welling up in his eyes. Hu Tiehua suddenly held his hand and said loudly: "Don't you want to take revenge?" Liu Biefei murmured: "Revenge...revenge..." He repeated these two words, and he did not know how many times he said them. Tears finally came to his eyes, and suddenly he dropped Hu Tiehua's hand heavily, and hissed: "Do you know why my elder brother Huangfu is willing to fall into the trap of humiliating himself with a camel horse?" Why?" Hu Tiehua sighed: "I have already seen that he must have unspeakable pain." Liu Biefei said: "He concealed his name and endured the humiliation, just because he didn't want to take revenge." Hu Tiehua was startled, and couldn't help asking: "Why?" Liu Biefei said: "Just because he knows that if we want revenge with our strength, it is like hitting a stone with an egg. He doesn't want my Huashan lineage to be ruined, and he can't bear to let all Huashan disciples die." Princess Pipa had already walked over, and said suddenly at this moment: "Disciple of Huashan, are there still alive?" Liu Biefei said sadly: "There is not much left." Princess Pipa said coldly: "Oh! There are still a few more, but I thought they were all dead." Liu Biefei's face changed color, and he whispered: "You..." But Princess Pipa didn't let him speak, and continued with a sneer: "In the past, the 'Seven Swords of Huashan' crossed the rivers and lakes, how glorious it was. When people in the rivers and lakes mentioned the word 'Huashan School', who would dare not retreat three points, even I, a foreigner, have long admired the beauty of Mount Hua, but now..." She shook her head and sighed: "But now people in Jianghu have almost forgotten the name 'Huashan School' in the martial arts. Even if all Huashan disciples are alive, what is the difference between dead and dead?"
