Chapter 5 The fourth round of strange people and strange things

【one】 The eighteenth day of the first lunar month. A place where no one knows what it is. How can a piece of iron with an irregular and incomplete shape be the most terrifying weapon in this world? Xiao Gao is not fully awake yet, but this question has been entangled in his heart like a poisonous snake. When he was fully awake, he was immediately petrified by what he saw. He suddenly found himself in a place that only appears in the most grotesque dreams. This place seems to be a cave in the middle of the mountain. Xiao Gao can absolutely guarantee that no matter who comes here, they will be fascinated by this cave just like him.

He had never seen anything so surprising and bewildering anywhere. The crystal lamps from Persia are hung high among some huge stalactites with strange and colorful colors. The floor is covered with handmade carpets with fine patterns and beautiful patterns. The wooden shelves on the four walls display all kinds of strange weapons. Not only have I never seen several kinds of Xiaogao, I have never even heard of them. In addition, there are corals more than ten feet high, ivory several feet long, white horses carved from flawless jade, flowers, trees and fruits and vegetables made of emerald green and red agate, and huge Buddha statues made of Siamese gold. The Buddha statue is also covered with strings of crystal clear and round pearls as big as longan.

Another large table is filled with all kinds of golden goblets and crystal bottles, full of fine wines from all over the world. Four or five stunning beauties in gauze like cicada's wings were standing beside the soft couch where Xiao Gao was lying, giggling and giggling while watching Xiao Gao. Among them was a girl with blonde hair and blue eyes, whose skin was whiter than snow. The most innocent, but the other skin is dark brown, like brown satin, soft and smooth, and shiny.Xiao Gao has been completely fascinated. These weapons, these treasures, and these beauties are beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Is this place no longer in the world? If this is hell, then this world does not know how many people are willing to go to hell. 【two】 —Who are you?where is this place? The girls just laughed and didn't speak. Xiao Gao wanted to stand up, but a girl who was as small as an incense fan had already held his shoulder. He dared not touch the girl. He knew he wasn't one to resist temptation all the time. The most unbearable thing was that the blond girl actually held his face and blew gently into his ear. Xiao Gao knew that his body was about to change, and it was an unsightly change.

His body suddenly bent, from a part that no one could have imagined to a direction that no one could have imagined. The two girls holding his shoulders and holding his face felt that their hands slipped, and the person they held and held was gone, and when they looked back, they found that he had hidden in a golden door far away. Behind the statue. "You must not come here," Xiao Gao said loudly, "I am not a good person, if you really dare to come here, I will really be rude." He was really a little afraid of these girls, but if they really passed by, he wouldn't feel too sad, nor would he be scared to death.

It's a pity they haven't passed, not even one of them. Because at this time, the owner of this place has appeared. A handsome, thin, tall man, casually wearing a shiny black black silk robe, letting his long jet black hair casually hang over his shoulders. Although he was dressed casually, he looked like an emperor. Especially his face. His face was extremely chiselled, with sharp lines. His face was pale, without any blood at all, as if carved out of a piece of snow-white marble, with an indescribable indifference and nobility. Seeing this man, the girls immediately bowed down, and Xiao Gao immediately said loudly: "I know you must be the owner of this place."

"I was." "I don't know you, and you don't know me. What did you bring me here for?" "I do not know either." "You don't know either?" Xiao Gao called out, "How could you not know?" "Because I didn't ask you to come at all, it was you who wanted to come with me." Xiao Gao was stunned for a long time before opening his mouth. "I am the one who wants to follow you? Are you the one carrying the suitcase?" "I was." Xiao Gao held Zhuang's head with his hands, as if he was about to faint.

A man with ordinary clothes and rough food, suddenly miraculously turned into an emperor. This kind of thing can only happen in mythology, but Xiao Gao accidentally encountered it. "What kind of person are you?" Xiao Gao came out from behind the Buddha statue, "A blunt assassin wandering around the world with a suitcase in hand? Or a hermit who avoids the mortal world and is richer than a prince?" Xiao Gao asked him: "These two kinds of people are completely different, which one is your true face?" "What about you? What kind of person are you?" He asked Xiao Gao, "A hot-blooded young man who is curious about everything in the world? Or a ruthless swordsman who regards human life as nothing?"

"I am a swordsman. If a person wants to learn swordsmanship, he should dedicate himself to swordsmanship. Even if he dies, he will have no regrets." Xiao Gao asked him again, "What about you? Why do you kill people? Is it for money? Or is it because of you? feel happy?" Xiao Gao stared at him: "When a person knows that he can control the life and death of others, doesn't he feel very happy!" The man in black suddenly turned around, walked to the big case, poured a glass of wine from a crystal bottle, and drank it slowly. Then he said lightly: "For me, this is no longer a pleasant thing. It's a pity that I, like most people in this world, will do things that I don't want to do."

"Why did you kill Yang Jian this time?" "For Zhu Meng, because I owe him my life." "Whose life?" "mine." "Zhu Meng saved you?" "Everyone will inevitably have dangerous and difficult times, and I am no exception." The man in black said lightly, "You will also have such times in the future, but you can never predict who will save you at that time." , just like now you don’t know who will die in your hands in the future.” "I didn't die by my hands, but by my sword." Xiao Gao said, "The people who died by the sword have already dedicated their lives to the sword, just like them. If I die by their sword, I die without complaint."

The man in black suddenly took down a long sword with a strange shape from the ledge, and looked at Xiao Gao coldly: "What if I use this sword to kill you now?" "Then I will feel very sorry." Xiao Gao said, "Because now I don't even know who you are." "You know enough already, enough for me to kill you." "Oh?" "You already know that I killed Yang Jian, and you have secretly seen my box." "But I didn't see anything," Xiao Gao said, "I still can't figure out how it can be the most terrifying weapon in the world?" "You want to know?" "really want." The man in black suddenly drew his sword, and the cold sword aura immediately rushed over, and the flickering sword light was emerald green. "This sword is called Green Willow, and it is a relic of Taoist Gu in Bashan." The man in black caressed the edge of the sword, "In the past, Taoist Gu used the willow sword with seven or forty-nine hands to fly across the world, and died under this sword I don’t know how many famous swordsmen there are.” He put down the long sword, and picked up a large Xuanhua ax from the shelf. "This is the ax used by Wuling Qiao, the hidden hero of Huangshan in the past, and the net weight is 73 catties," he said. "Although he used only eleven moves, each move was a very overbearing killer. No one has ever been able to go through seven moves under his hands." Next to the Xuanhua ax is a weapon with a handle that looks like a gun but is not a gun, because the tip of the gun is not a gun point, but a sickle, and it is hung by an iron chain. "Iron Chain Flying Scythe kills people like mowing grass." The man in black said, "This weapon is said to be from Japan. It has a mysterious move that has never been seen in Middle Earth." He pointed to a pair of judge pens, a pair of crescent eyebrow thorns, a cross tiger blue, a Wu hook sword, a hook sickle gun, a cylinder of seven-star needles, a Persian machete and a big white wax pole on the shelf. Said: "These weapons were also owned by the top contemporary masters in the past. Each weapon has its own unique moves, and each weapon has the heroic souls of many martial arts masters attached to it." Xiao Gao couldn't help but said, "I'm asking about your box, not these weapons." The man in black said flatly: "But my box is the essence of these weapons." "I don't understand." Xiao Gao asked him: "How can a box be the essence of thirteen weapons? I think that box is just some broken pieces of iron pipes and pieces of iron." "Of course you won't be able to see the mystery in it." The man in black said, "But you should also know that all weapons in the world are nothing more than some fragmentary iron pieces, which must be pieced together before they can be used." becomes a weapon." He also explained: "Even if it is a sword, it must have a blade body, a sword collar, a sword handle, a sword ring, and a sword jacket. It must be assembled with five different things to become a sword." Xiao Gao seems to have understood a little bit. "Do you mean that you can use the iron pieces in your box to piece together a weapon?" "Not one weapon, but thirteen weapons, thirteen different weapons." Xiao Gao was stunned. "Using thirteen different methods, thirteen different types of weapons were pieced together, but each type is different from common weapons, because each type has at least two or three functions of weapons." Black Clothes People said, "The essence of all the moves and changes of these weapons are all in my box." He asked Xiao Gao: "Have you understood now?" Xiao Gao was completely stunned. Now, although he already understood why the seven of them, Yang Jian and Yun Mantian, seemed to die under three or four different weapons at the same time, only one of them shot. Although Xiao Gao thought about this, he still couldn't believe it completely. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, who would believe that such a weapon with such an exquisite structure, precision, precision and complexity really existed in the world? But Xiao Gao couldn't believe it. So he couldn't help sighing: "The person who can forge such a weapon must be a great genius." "yes." A strange expression suddenly appeared on the pale, dignified and indifferent face of the man in black, as if a most pious believer suddenly mentioned his most worshiped god. "No one can compare to him." The man in black said, "No one can compare to his sword skills, his wisdom, his thoughts, his benevolence, and his method of forging iron and swords." "Who is he?" "He's the one who cast your 'Tearstain'." Xiao Gao was stunned again. He suddenly had a strange feeling that there seemed to be some kind of subtle relationship between himself and this mysterious man in black. This feeling made him amazed, excited, and frightened. He still wants to know more about this box, this sword, and this remarkable person and event, but the man in black doesn't want him to know too much, and has changed the topic: "This box is certainly an unprecedented and outstanding weapon, but it is not easy to use it." He said, "If there is no outstanding person to use it, it will not be able to exert its power." He is not boasting, nor is he conceited, he is just stating a fact: "This person must not only be proficient in the movements of these thirteen weapons, but also have a very clear understanding of the structure of each weapon. And you need a pair of extremely dexterous hands to piece together the iron pieces in the box in the shortest possible time." The man in black added: "Besides that, he also needs to have extremely rich experience, extremely sensitive response and extremely correct judgment." "why?" "Because different opponents use different weapons and moves, so you must judge what form of weapon to use to restrain your opponent in the shortest possible time." The man in black said, "Before the opponent makes a move Before you start, you have to figure out exactly what kind of weapon you should use to put together what kind of weapon? And you have to finish it before the opponent makes a move, as long as you are a step slower, you may die at the hands of the opponent." Xiao Gao smiled wryly. "It seems that it is not an easy task. I am afraid that there are not many people like this in the world." The man in black looked at him quietly, and after a long time said coldly: "It's not easy to open my box, but you opened it quickly," he said, "Your hand is enough." dexterity." "seems like it." "Your martial arts are already very solid, and it seems that you have also practiced the yoga technique passed down from the secret sect of Tianzhu, the peak of the water of the Virgin." "seems like it." "The old man who passed you the 'Tearstain' has something to do with my box." The man in black said flatly, "So you haven't died until now." "Did you originally want to kill me?" Xiao Gao asked, "Why didn't you kill me?" "Because I want you to stay here," said the man in black, "I want you to inherit my martial arts, my box, and everything here." He was talking about a piece of luck that no one else could even dream of. ——Wealth beyond rival country, extremely mysterious weapon, the most terrifying weapon in the world. A young man who has nothing, suddenly wants to have all these things, and the fate of his life has suddenly changed at this moment. What kind of feelings will this young man have in his heart? Xiao Gao didn't even react at all, as if he was listening to someone say something that had nothing to do with him. The man in black said again: "My only condition is that you must not leave this place until you have mastered my martial arts." This condition is not harsh, and very reasonable. "It's a pity you forgot to ask me one thing," Xiao Gao said, "You forgot to ask if I would like to stay here?" In fact, there is no need to ask this question. Only lunatics and idiots would refuse such a condition. Xiao Gao is neither crazy nor idiot, yet the man in black asked him, "Are you willing?" "I don't want to." Xiao Gao replied without even thinking, "I don't want to either." The pupils of the man in black suddenly changed, from the pupils of a mortal to the point of a needle, the edge of a sword, or the sting of a bee, piercing Xiao Gao's eyes. Xiao Gao didn't even blink his eyes, and after a long time, the man in black asked him, "Why don't you agree?" "Actually, it's not the reason!" Xiao Gao said, "Maybe it's just because I'm too bored here, but I've always been used to living a free life." He stared at this mysterious and terrifying person, and said lightly: "Maybe it's just because I don't want to be someone like you." "Do you know what kind of person I am?" "I don't know." Xiao Gao said, "But I think you seem to be living in the shadows all the time, no matter which form you use to appear, it seems that you only appear in the shadows." He sighed: "Although you have incomparable wealth and unparalleled martial arts, sometimes I feel that your life is not as happy as mine, and sometimes I even feel sympathy for you." The man in black Looking at him, the cold light in his pupils suddenly dissipated, dissipating into a hazy light and shadow, and dissipating into nothingness. "Everyone has the right to choose their own way of life, and I have the right to choose mine." Xiao Gao said, "I want to live under the sun, even if I want to kill someone, I will challenge him openly and squarely. Fight for a victory." The man in black suddenly sneered. "Do you think Sima Chaoqun will really fight you fairly?" "I challenged him openly. How could it be unfair for everyone to play one-on-one?" "Of course you won't understand now," the man in black sighed again. "By the time you understand, I'm afraid it will be too late." "No matter what, I'm still going." Xiao Gao said, "Now I'm so hungry, I just hope you let me have a good meal and then let me go." He looked happy again: "I can see that you are not a stingy person, and my request is probably not too much." "It's really not too much." The man in black said coldly, "It's a pity you forgot to ask me one thing." "What's up?" "No one who came to this place ever got out alive." Xiao Gao was still laughing: "I believe what you say, fortunately there are exceptions to everything." He smiled happily, "I believe you will make an exception for me once." "Why should I make an exception for you?" "Because we are friends, not enemies, and I have never offended you." "You are wrong." The man in black said, "You are not my friend, and you are not worthy to be my friend." Suddenly there was a strange light in his eyes: "If I am willing to make an exception for you, it is just for a reason." "what reason?" "Because you sympathize with me," said the man in black. The light and shadow in his eyes suddenly seemed to have turned into a kind of bitter and bitter irony: "In this world, only people hate me and fear me, but no one has ever sympathized with me. May as well give you a chance." "What kind of opportunity?" The man in black stood up, randomly picked up two crystal bottles from the big case, and asked Xiao Gao to choose one to drink. "Why should I choose?" Xiao Gao asked, "The two bottles of wine seem to be exactly the same, and the bottles are all the same." "Only one thing is different." "Which point?" "One of these two bottles of wine is poisonous wine," said the man in black, "the poisonous wine that kills the intestines." In fact, there is another difference between the two bottles of wine, one of which is a little less than the other. Because this bottle of wine has already been poured out by the man in black, and he has already drank it. Now he is alive. Xiao Gao should be able to see this, but he chose another bottle. The man in black looked at him coldly, and asked coldly, "You have chosen?" "I have chosen, and I will never change my mind." "Did you see that I had a glass of wine just now?" "I saw it." "Do you know which bottle I'm drinking?" "I know." "Why don't you choose the bottle I drank?" "Because I don't want to die yet." Xiao Gao smiled and laughed more happily: "You know that I'm not blind, nor too stupid. I can definitely tell that one of these two bottles of wine has been drunk by you, but you still have to let me choose, because most people In this case, you will choose the bottle you drank." This is a fact. "Fortunately, I am not most people, and you will not treat me as those people." Xiao Gao said, "If the bottle of wine you drank was really not poisonous, you would not use this method to test me .” He said: "If you want to deal with me, of course you have to use a more difficult method." This choice is really not easy. Even if some people are wise, they may think that the poisoned wine is probably the bottle that the man in black himself drank, and they may not have the guts to drink the other bottle. "The poisoned wine is yours. Of course you have the antidote. Even if you drink ten or eight bottles, it's fine, but I can't drink it anymore." Xiao Gao said, "So I only choose this bottle." The man in black looked at Xiao Gao with a strange look, and asked him in a strange voice: "What if you choose the wrong one?" "Then all I have to do is die." After saying this, Xiao Gao drank the bottle of wine he chose in one gulp. Then his men also fell.
