Chapter 56 Chapter Fifty-fifth Sword Infatuation

——If you serve a person like a slave every day, then even you will feel that you will never be able to beat this person. This is Duguchi's idea and his strategy. To this day, he considers his strategy a success. When he went out today, his slave was not waiting for him outside the door as usual. There was another rooster crowing in the distance, but the earth was still dark.The wind blows on the naked body, cold as a knife. Dugu Chi has a sword in his hand. He has taken his sword.His sword was always within easy reach of his hand. The cold wind is like a knife.He stood in the cold wind and waited until the dawn had cut through the darkness like a sharp knife, only then did he see a person flying towards him.

He recognized this person's lightness kung fu, but he wasn't the kid playing with bugs with a runny nose. What he saw was a woman, a beautiful woman he hadn't seen in a long time. "Who are you?" After he asked this sentence, he saw who this woman was. If you find that a "child" who serves you like a slave every day is such a person, and you are still standing in front of her naked like before, how would you feel?What kind of reaction will there be? Duguchi didn't even respond at all. He stood there quietly, with no expression on his face.He just said coldly: "You are late."

"Yes." Xiaoyan's voice was equally cold: "I'm late today." Duguchi didn't speak any more. Every day he stood there in the same posture for "her" to scrub, and today his posture has not changed. Xiaoyan also carried a bucket of water as before, and walked over slowly.His eyes were still looking directly at him as before. The only difference is that there is one more person between them today. The cold hand reached into the cold bucket and fished out a cold cloth towel. At this moment, Xiao Fang had arrived. As soon as her hand was taken out of the bucket, it was held tightly.

Xiao Fang's hands are as fast as a poisonous snake, but his eyes are dull, dull because of anger. He asked Xiaoyan: "You came back just to do this kind of thing?" "Yes." Xiaoyan said, "I do this kind of thing for him every day, 365 days a year, sometimes twice a day." "Why would you do this for him?" "Because he asked me to do it for him." Xiaoyan said, "Because he deliberately tortured and humiliated me." She didn't go on, her voice was hoarse, and she was gradually unable to control herself. Dugu Chi looked at them, suddenly a few weird and distorted wrinkles appeared on his face.

He has seen their connection. His face suddenly became like a cracked white mask. ——Is this because he felt deceived, so he gave up what he should have to others. Xiao Fang slowly turned his head and stared at him. There was no enmity between them at all, but now Xiao Fang's eyes are already burning with anger. "From the first time I saw you, I knew that one of us would die by the other's sword." Xiao Fang said. Duguchi actually agreed: "I also thought that sooner or later there would be such a day." "Have you ever wondered when?" "Now." Dugu Chi said, "Of course it is now."

He continued calmly, "Now you have a sword in your hand, and I have it too." Because he had a sword in his hand, although his body was completely naked, his demeanor looked like a general who was fully clothed and ready to go into battle when the horn sounded. Xiao Fang's pupils have already started to shrink. Duguchi suddenly asked again: "Have you ever thought about who died?" He didn't let Xiao Fang speak, and he answered the question himself: "You are the one who died! It must be you." The cracks in the white mask had disappeared, and his face was completely expressionless again.

"But you can't die." Duguchi continued, "You still have to go to 'Sunshine', to Bu Ying, to Lu San, your entanglement is not over, how can you die!" His voice was cold: "So I conclude that you will definitely not make a move today, and you will not dare to make a move." The sun had broken through the clouds, and Xiao Fang's face seemed to have turned into a white mask under the sun. Now it's time for them to decide whether to win or lose. A man would not do such a thing as running away from battle. But he heard himself saying: "Yes, I can't die." His voice seemed far away even to himself: "If I'm not sure about killing you, I can't do it."

"Are you sure about killing me?" Dugu Chi asked. "No." Xiao Fang said, "So I really can't make a move today." After saying this, even Xiao Fang himself was taken aback. A year ago, he would have refused to say this sentence, but now he has changed. Even he himself felt that he had changed. Xiaoyan looked at him in surprise, her face also turned pale and angry. "Are you unable to make a move, or dare not?" "I can't, and I dare not." Xiaoyan rushed over suddenly and poured the bucket of water from his head to his feet. Xiao Fang didn't move, just let himself stand dripping like this.

Xiaoyan stared at him fiercely, and asked word by word: "Are you human?" "I am human." Xiao Fang said, "Because I am human, I must not make a move today." His voice was still calm: "Because everyone has only one life, and so do I." Before he finished speaking, Xiaoyan slapped him in the face. But he continued on.When he finished speaking, Xiaoyan had already left, flying away like a wounded swallow. Xiao Fang still didn't move. Dugu Chi looked at him coldly, and suddenly asked, "Why didn't you go after him?" "She's coming back anyway, why should I chase her?"

"You knew she'd be back?" "I know." Xiao Fang's voice was still equally calm, "Of course I know." "Why does she have to come back?" "Because she will never let you go, just like you will never let Bu Ying and me go." Xiao Fang said. He spoke every word very slowly, because he had to think about how to express his meaning more clearly. "Fate is like a chain, sometimes it often locks together people who were not related at all." Xiao Fang said: "Now we are all locked up." "Us?" Dugu Chi asked, "Who are we?"

"You, me, her, Bu Ying." Xiao Fang said, "From now on, no matter where you go, I will be by your side." "why?" "Because I know that you are going to find Bu Ying just like me." Xiao Fang said, "So I believe that no matter where I go, you will always be near me." He added: "As long as the two of us don't die, she will definitely come to us." Duguchi suddenly sneered. "Are you not afraid that I will kill you?" "I'm not afraid." Xiao Fang said lightly, "I know you won't make a move either." "why?" "Because you are not sure about killing me!" The sun has risen, illuminating Xiao Fang's eyes, as well as the magic eye on his sword. Dugu Chi sighed suddenly, and said with a sigh: "You have changed." "Yes, I have changed." "I never regarded you as my opponent before, but now..." Duguchi seemed to be sighing again: "Now some people may think that you have become a coward, but I think you have become a swordsman." ——A swordsman is ruthless and has no tears. ——Xiao Fang is really ruthless. Duguchi said again: "You're right, from now on we may really be locked together, so you must pay special attention." "I want to pay special attention?" Xiao Fang asked, "What should I pay attention to?" "Pay attention to me." Dugu Chi said coldly, "From now on, I will kill you whenever I get the chance." This is not intimidation, nor is it a threat. In a way, it was almost a compliment, a compliment. ——Because he already regarded Xiao Fang as his opponent, the real opponent.It is not easy to be regarded as an opponent by Dugu Chi. So Xiao Fang suddenly said something that although they knew it themselves, others would find it very strange after hearing it. He suddenly said, "Thank you." If someone was going to kill you, would you say, "Thank you." Of course you don't. Because you are not Duguchi, nor Xiaofang. What these people do is beyond the comprehension of others. The sun has shone through the window. Duguchi slowly put on his clothes one by one. Xiao Fang has been standing at the door watching him.Every movement is watched carefully, like a horseman watching his stallion. Dugu Chi didn't pay attention to him at all. Some people will show a kind of concentration and concentration no matter what they are doing. Dugu Chi is such a person. In fact, his spirit is not focused on what he is doing.While he was getting dressed, he was also thinking about his sword skills. ——Perhaps just in a small movement of putting on his clothes, he will suddenly comprehend a subtle change in the sword technique. His sword was within his reach. After getting dressed, Duguchi turned to face Xiao Fang! "I can't stay here anymore." "I know." "I'm leaving now." "I'll follow you." "You are wrong." Duguchi said, "No matter where you go, I will follow you." Xiao Fang didn't say a word. He turned and walked out the door, into the sunlight. At this time the sun has been shining all over the earth. ——What about "sunshine"?What about Buying? —Can they still see their sunshine, can they still breathe freely in the sun? "Where should a tree be dug from?" "Dig from its roots." "No matter what you want to dig, you must first dig its roots." "yes." "Where is the root of this matter?" "Where is the stolen gold, there is the root of this matter." "That batch of gold is the root of all the secrets?" "yes." So Xiao Fang returned to the desert, to this ruthless land. The scorching sun, windy sand, bitter cold, and scorching heat began to torment him like before. He sweated and bled here, and almost buried his life here. He hated this place, not only hated it, but dreaded it.The strange thing is that he has a strong feeling for this place that even he can't explain. Because although this place was ugly, cold, and heartless, it left him with some bitter and beautiful memories.It not only made him unforgettable all his life, but also changed his life. Duguchi followed him all the time, and the two of them always kept a visible distance. But they rarely speak. Their diets are very simple and they sleep very little.Sometimes for two or three days, I didn't even say a word. On the first day after entering the desert, Dugu Chi asked Xiao Fang: "Do you know where that batch of gold is?" "I know." Xiao Fang replied. It wasn't until the next afternoon that Xiao Fang asked Dugu Chi: "Do you still remember the place where we first met?" "I remember." "The gold is there." After saying this sentence, the two of them stopped talking, as if they both felt that they had talked too much this day. But at dawn on the third day, Dugu Chi asked Xiao Fang: "Can you still find that place?" Xiao Fang did not answer this question.Xiao Fang didn't speak until the fourth day, when they came to the foot of a towering weathered rock. He pointed to a rock protruding like a steeple and asked Dugu Chi: "Do you remember this rock?" "I remember." So Xiao Fang stopped.He found a shelter under the rock and began to eat his first meal of the day. It took a long time before Dugu Chi asked, "Is the gold down there?" "Not here." "Why did you stop here?" After Xiao Fang slowly finished eating a highland barley cake, he said: "The gold was buried by Bu Ying and Ban Cha Bana. They are the only ones who know the secret." "But now you know too." "Because Buying also brought me to the place where the gold is buried." Xiao Fang said, "It was already late at night when he took me there. When we left, it was already dawn." He looked up at the towering tower stone: "At that time, the sun had just risen, and it happened to cast the shadow of this stone on the place where the gold was buried." Duguchi didn't speak again. He already knew that Xiao Fang stopped here to wait for the sunrise tomorrow. He didn't need to ask any more questions. Xiao Fang couldn't help but ask himself: "Why should I tell him this secret?" This was originally a difficult question to answer, but Xiao Fang quickly found an explanation for himself. He told Duguchi this secret not only because he knew that Duguchi was definitely not a person who was tempted by gold. The biggest reason is: he thinks that this batch of gold is no longer in the place where Bu Ying is buried. No one knows how he came up with this idea, but he himself is sure of it. As the sun sinks to the west, the lonely, long and bitter night will once again cover this ruthless land. They lit a fire and sat quietly on one side of the fire.Gazing at the flickering firelight, waiting for the sun to rise. This night was undoubtedly longer, colder and harder than any night they had spent in the desert before.They are all very tired. Just when Xiao Fang was about to close his eyes, he suddenly heard a sharp and short sound of wind passing through the air. Then he saw a golden light burst out from the flames, changing from golden to dark red, and then from dark red to pale green. In the pale blue firelight, there seemed to be a few pale blue shadows flying and dancing.Suddenly it turned into light smoke and dispersed. When the light smoke disappeared, the flame also went out.There is only boundless darkness left in the world, as if the light will never reappear. Xiao Fang didn't move, neither did Dugu Chi. In their eyes, the sudden astonishing changes just now seemed to happen every day, and they could be seen all the time, which was not surprising at all. After a long time, the fire that had been extinguished suddenly burst into a bright flame. When the flames turned from golden yellow to dark blue, another figure seemed to rise from the flames.Rise to a high place and turn into light smoke. Light smoke dispersed, the fire was extinguished, and the voice of a person speaking suddenly sounded in the darkness. Misty voice, faintly present, resembling a human being or a ghost. "Fang Wei, Duguchi, let's go!" The voice said, "It's best to go quickly, the sooner the better." Dugu Chi still didn't respond, but Xiao Fang did. "Who are you?" He asked casually, "Why do you want us to leave?" As soon as he finished asking, he heard someone answer: "We are not human." The voice of the first person answered came from the west—an ethereal voice that seemed human but not human. Then there was the same voice from the east saying: "Since Chi You died in battle and the treasure was unearthed, every huge treasure in the world has been guarded by ghosts and ghosts." The sound from the south seemed farther away. "We are the ghosts guarding this batch of gold treasures for Bu Ying." Then the voice from the north said, "We all died fighting for the eagle." He said, "We were warriors in life, and ghosts in death. We will not allow anyone to trespass on his gold." Xiao Fang asked lightly again: "What if we don't want to leave?" "Then you are going to die here." Said Xi Mian's voice, "And a terrible death." "I understand what you mean." Xiao Fang said, "It's a pity that I don't believe even a word you say." On all sides, no one spoke anymore—whether it was a human being or a ghost, no one spoke anymore. In the fire that had been extinguished, the flames flickered again. Just as the golden fire was shining, seventeen or eighteen figures suddenly flew in from the darkness. When the flames turned dark red, these figures had fallen to the ground.Some shadows fell on the ground and made a "dong" sound, while others sounded like bones breaking. Because although these figures that fell were all human beings, some of them are completely cold and stiff now, and some have turned into dry bones, dry bones that will shatter when they fall. The misty and gloomy voice from Ximian asked again: "Do you not believe what we say?" "I don't believe it?" Xiao Fang still replied in the same way: "I don't even believe a word!" "Then you might as well look at these people first." Someone from the south said, "Because you will soon become like them, and they too..." This sentence was not finished, because Dugu Chi, who had not responded all this time, responded. A reaction that would startle anyone who saw it. At this moment, his body suddenly jumped up, shot out like an arrow, and shot towards the place where the sound came out, towards the south.The south was dark. When Dugu Chi's figure disappeared into the darkness, a scream came from the south. At this moment, Xiao Fang's people jumped up and shot out like an arrow. When the screams from the south came out, his men had reached a rock in the west. The west was also in darkness, and suddenly there was a flash of a knife in the darkness, chopping Xiao Fang's leg like lightning. Xiao Fang didn't parry or dodge.The long sword swung sharply, and the edge of the sword slashed directly against the edge of the blade, cutting off the collar of the sword and the hand holding the sword. Immediately, there was a miserable cry from the darkness in the west, and the cry stopped suddenly. The blade has pierced the heart. When the shouting stopped, Xiao Fang heard Dugu Chi cheering for him coldly. "Such a fast sword; such a ruthless shot." Xiao Fang answered very cleverly: "Each to each other." "But I don't understand why you want to kill him?" Dugu Chi asked, "Do you know that he is not Bu Ying's subordinate?" "I know." "How did you know?" "No one of Bu Ying's subordinates dared to call him by his first name." Xiao Fang said, "Everyone calls him Brother Ying." "I didn't expect you to be so careful." There was no sarcasm in Dugu Chi's voice: "People like us must be careful in order to live longer." They are not people who like to talk, and these words should not be said at this time. The sky is like ink, and powerful enemies are around.As soon as he speaks, the target is exposed, and all kinds of hidden weapons may attack from different directions at any time. Every attack could be a fatal blow. In this case, experienced people will keep their mouths tightly shut and wait until the other party loses their composure before making a move. Both Xiaofang and Duguchi are experienced people. They have gone through hundreds of battles and go through life and death.This kind of experience is richer than anyone else. Why did they say these things that they didn't have to say at this time? This is also a difficult question to answer, but the answer is extremely simple. ——They exposed themselves to each other because they wanted each other to make a move. The sky is like ink, and powerful enemies are around.But if the other party doesn't make a move, they don't know where the other party is hiding? This is also a strategy, a tactic to lure the enemy. This time their strategy worked. As soon as their words were finished, the opponent's attack began. This time the attack came from the north. If Xiao Fang wasn't Xiao Fang, he would have died under this attack. He is Xiaofang. He has had nineteen near-death experiences.If his reflexes were slower, he would have died nineteen times. He wasn't dead yet, so he heard the wind, a very thin, slight wind. A very fast wind came from the north, hitting his vitals. Achilles heel. Xiao Fang swung his sword, and immediately seven cold stars burst out from the blade. Just when he knocked down the seven hidden weapons with one sword, a sharp wind pierced his waist. It wasn't a hidden weapon, it was a gun.The pear blossom spear, weighing at least thirty or forty catties, stabbed slowly and silently from the darkness.He didn't speed up until he was less than a foot away from Xiao Fang's waist. When Xiao Fang felt the sharp wind on the gun's edge, life and death were already between breaths. He took a deep breath and pulled himself up suddenly. The point of the gun pierced his clothes, he turned over in the air, and the long sword drew an arc. He saw a human face. Sen Han's sword light was shining on this man's face.A square face, full of red hair and beard, has been distorted by fear.It looks like a crumpled image of a judge. The sword light flashed again, and the face was no longer visible.This person has since disappeared. Under the light of the tip of the gun and the blade of the sword, a person's life is like a mosquito under the feet and between the palms of the hand, which will be wiped out in an instant. If you have not experienced such things, you will never imagine that human life can sometimes be so cheap. The first attack is not over yet, the second has begun.The second attack failed, and there was a third. Attacks are like waves, one after another, seemingly endless. Every attack could be fatal, and every attack could be the last.
