Chapter 15 Chapter Eight Killing and Being Killed

one Mr. Wang's orders have always been to obey, not to ask questions. Not only Wu Tian didn't ask, Chen Wen, Lin Guangzeng, and Ma Sha didn't ask, Wu Tian found the three of them in the shortest time, and gave Mr. Wang's order with the simplest words. "The boss wants you to kill Ye Kai." Wu Tian said, "I want the three of you to kill him separately." The three of them answered with only one word: "Yes." So Mr. Wang's plan began, and another revenge action was also launched. The "Wind Bell House" under the ancient pine trees outside Lhasa still stands in the sun, but the string of wind chimes under the eaves are no longer there.

The young woman "Feng Ling" who often sat by the window under the wind chimes no longer sat under the string of wind chimes. The unique "buffet" meal in the "Wind Bell House" is also gone. Does anyone know why "Wind Bell House" closed down?Not to mention that no one knows where the young woman Feng Ling, who always has sad eyes and expectant face, has gone? The sunlight shines through the leaves of the ancient pine trees and casts obliquely on the "Fengling House". Ye Kai stands under the ancient pine tree, staring at the silent "Fengling House".

The weather in Lhasa today is a rare good weather. Although the sun is still shining, it is not as hot as the city over there, so the wind blows gently from a distance, gently lifting Ye Kai's hair. The wind carried the fragrance of the leaves from the distant mountains, Ye Kai took a soft breath, and then walked to the empty "Wind Bell House". He walked to the chair where a sad young woman used to sit and stopped, staring deeply at the empty chair. The scent of rouge pollen on the young woman's face and the faint body fragrance of the young woman are still lingering around the chair.

Ye Kai slowly sat on that chair, staring into the distance in the posture that young women often pose, and only then did he realize why "Feng Ling" chose this seat.Because looking out from here, you can see the end of the road, and you may also see the ancient and majestic Lhasa city gate. As long as someone walks out of the city gate and walks on this road, you can see it from here. Ye Kai now saw four people coming from the end of the road. Four people dressed in different ages, but they are all people who have practiced light kung fu and swordsmanship. With such a distance, Ye Kai certainly couldn't hear their footsteps, but he could see the martial arts of these four people from their walking posture and the dust raised from their feet.

Ye Kai could even tell that these four people definitely didn't come to the "Wind Bell House" to eat, not because the "Wind Bell House" had closed down, but Ye Kai could see that these four people walked very seriously. ——A person with high lightness kungfu and swordsmanship usually doesn't walk with that kind of serious footwork. They usually have only one purpose when they walk with this kind of footwork, and that is that they are ready to kill. Who to kill? Kill the wind chimes? Of course there is this possibility, but Ye Kai knew it was not, not because the wind chimes were no longer there, but Ye Kai's unique sixth sense trained over the years told him that these four people came to kill him.

Now that he knew that these four people were coming to kill him, Ye Kai should stand up immediately, but he didn't move, he was still sitting in that position, his eyes were still staring into the distance. Ye Kai didn't move, not because he was sure to deal with these four people, but because he wanted to know why these four people killed him? He came to Lhasa, even Fu Hongxue didn't know about it, why did someone come to kill him the second day after he came? Who are these four people? Are they related to the "Monkey Park" that Ye Kai came to Lhasa to investigate?Or someone sent by Wanmatang? "

Ye Kai came to Lhasa suddenly, of course, because of the Wanmatang incident. The Bai Yiling who looks like Ma Fangling once said that she has been living with an old Mr. Wang for the past ten years. And Su Mingming also said that the owner of the "Monkey Garden" outside Lhasa is Mr. Wang. Is the Mr. Wang mentioned by these two people the same Mr. Wang? Ye Kai came to Lhasa just to find out this matter, but he didn't expect that someone would come to kill him the next day. It seems that Ye Kai's move to Lhasa was undoubtedly the right one. No matter whether these four people were sent by "Monkey Garden" or followed Ye Kai from Wanmatang, they were already facing him. It proved that Ye Kai had stepped on their tails.

two Although the road was long, the four of them approached the "Wind Chime House" quickly although they walked seriously. If these four people attacked Ye Kai at the same time, would he be able to deal with it?Ye Kai was not sure at all. Unexpectedly, these four people did not walk towards Ye Kai all the way, they stopped at the foot of the ancient pine, and then one of them, who was very young and very handsome, walked towards Ye Kai alone. At this time, Ye Kai could of course hear his footsteps and breathing. The young man walking alone was breathing rapidly, and his face was ashen. Ye Kai immediately judged that this young man was undoubtedly an impulsive person .

Although his skills are not weak, and it is by no means the first time he has done something like murder, he is still very impulsive. Ye Kai quietly watched him walk outside the "Wind Chime House", in front of the window, and then heard him speak. "I'm here to kill you." The young man said, "You should also know that I'm here to kill you." "I know." Ye Kai said with a smile. "My name is Lin Guangzeng." The young man glared at Ye Kai with a pair of bright and sharp eyes that were already bloodshot: "Why don't you come out?"

Ye Kai laughed again. "It's you who want to kill me, not I who want to kill you." Ye Kai asked Lin Guangzeng back, "Why should I go out?" Lin Guangzeng was speechless, his breathing became more rapid, he was ready to draw his sword, and was ready to rush in. Just as he drew out his sword, he suddenly saw a fist that seemed to be very soft and light, but fast, hitting him head-on. He retreated, dodged, and at the same time swung his sword to fight back. His movements must not be considered too slow. With a flash of sword light, his counterattacked sword pierced Ye Kai's throat.

Just when his sword was an inch away from Ye Kai's throat, Ye Kai's fist hit his face, and then he heard the sound of his own bones breaking, and saw himself flying up and falling far into the sun. ——If you want to kill me, I have to kill you. This is the truth that everyone knows, Ye Kai knows, but he is not this kind of person, why did he do this this time? Because he had to do this, if he didn't do it, if the three people standing under the ancient pine tree joined forces, he might be the one who died. Before Lin Guangzeng landed and his heartbeat stopped, he finally understood one thing. ——Being an ordinary person is neither sad nor shameful. It is sad that an ordinary person must do something he shouldn't do. He shouldn't have come to kill, because he wasn't a murderer in the first place.Because he is too impulsive. A person whose parents are cooks and nurses should have accepted his life in an ordinary way. In this way, he may live happily for a long time, and his next generation may also live happily. The wind is still blowing. The leaves on the ancient pine tree are moving, and the fallen leaves are floating, passing the three people under the ancient pine tree. They came with Lin Guangzeng, but Lin Guangzeng's death seemed to have nothing to do with them. They looked at Ye Kai. They didn't miss every move Ye Kai made to kill Lin Guangzeng just now, but they didn't move. Ye Kai was still sitting there, with the same lazy expression. After a long time, one of the three people under the ancient pine tree came over. The walking posture of this person is very strange, of course he also came to kill Ye Kai, but the way he walked over seemed like a student coming to meet his teacher, not only elegant and polite, but also a little shy. Ye Kai could tell at a glance that he was a well-educated person, and he had been tightly restrained since he was a child. But on the other hand, he is undoubtedly a very terrible person. Although his footsteps are steady, his whole body is full of vigilance, and he always maintains a fighting posture, never giving anyone a chance. Although his arm was relaxed all the time, his hand was near the hilt of his sword, and his eyes were fixed on Ye Kai's hand on the window rail. There are many people who think that it is not wise for one person to keep staring at another person's hand in a duel, because these people think that no one can see anything from another person's hand. Some people think that the most important thing to pay attention to in a decisive battle is the opponent's eyes, and some people think that the most important thing to pay attention to is the expression on the opponent's face. These people's concept is not correct, because they ignore several points: - Killing is done with the hands. ——Hands also have expressions, and they reveal a lot of secrets. ——There are many people who can hide their emotions and secrets very well, and even make themselves like a hard nutshell, so that no one can see from his face and eyes that he does not want to Let others know the secret. But hands are different. ——If you see the blue veins on a person's hand protruding and the blood vessels exposed, you can know that he must be very nervous. - If you see a person's hands shaking, you can tell that the person is not only nervous, but also fearful, angry, or agitated. ——These are uncontrollable to cover up, because this is entirely a physiological reaction. Therefore, a real master pays the most attention to the opponent's hands in a life-and-death duel. The person who came is undoubtedly a seasoned and experienced master, not only his movements are accurate, but his concepts are also very correct. Ye Kai was also staring at him, but he didn't stare at his hand, because Ye Kai knew that this kind of person would never make a move first, so Ye Kai only asked him. "You recognize me?" "Your name is Ye Kai." The man replied. "We have a grudge?" "No." "Why did you kill me?" — This is not a good question, there are many people who usually kill for no reason. Ye Kai knew it, but he still wanted to ask this question because he needed time to learn more about this person. This person simply had the same mentality, so he answered—— "I want to kill you just because you are Ye Kai." The man asked Ye Kai, "Is this reason good enough?" After saying this, Ye Kai had already made the first move. Ye Kai made the first move because he knew that this person would never make the first move. His companion has already taught him a good lesson, and he also wants to learn from Ye Kai, to wait for work with ease and stop with silence. It's a pity that he still miscalculated a little - Ye Kai moved too fast, much faster than he imagined. When he saw Ye Kai's fist coming towards him, he sneered and waved his hand to counter that punch, but Ye Kai's fist suddenly changed and hit his heart. With a "bang", the man realized that the tendon and bone in his left chest had been broken, and the broken tendon and bone were inserted into the heart. Before he died, he could not have imagined that Ye Kai's punch would suddenly turn into his chest. ——The moves are dead, but the talent is alive. The same punch will often have completely different consequences. There seemed to be someone sighing under the ancient pine tree, a sigh like applause, full of appreciation. How could a man who came to kill make such a sigh? "Of course you are also here to kill me." Ye Kai looked at the two people standing under the ancient pine tree and said, "You might as well shoot at the same time!" One person still stood still, but the other person was already walking forward slowly. He walked slower than the man who died under Ye Kai's fist just now. Ye Kai stared at him, stared at his every movement, stared at his pair of shining eyes, suddenly Ye Kai realized that he was wrong, this person did not come to kill him, the other person was the main force of the attack, this The man was just diverting Ye Kai's attention, he didn't have a sword, and he didn't have murderous intent. What about the other person? Just as Ye Kai was staring at the person who walked over, the remaining person had disappeared. A person of flesh and blood will never disappear suddenly, but no one knows where he has gone. The third person had already walked out of Ye Kai's window, and stood there leisurely, completely observing Ye Kai's reaction with an attitude of a bystander, and there was even a kind of indifference in his bright eyes. smile. Although this person came with three other people, he didn't seem to care about their lives at all, as if he just wanted to see how Ye Kai would deal with them. Of course he will not be Ye Kai's friend, but he is not like Ye Kai's enemy, this is a very strange attitude, strange and ambiguous, just like the gray upper body he is wearing. Ye Kai's attitude is also very strange, he has been paying attention to the man in gray standing in front of the window, but he doesn't seem to care about the terrifying opponent who suddenly disappeared.He actually smiled politely at the man in gray, and the man in gray also smiled at him, and even asked Ye Kai how he was. "Hello" "I'm not good." Ye Kai sighed deliberately: "I'm sitting here enjoying the scenery, but someone wants to kill me for no reason, how can I be good?" The man in gray also sighed, not only agreeing, but also sympathizing. "If I'm sitting on a chair and suddenly three people come to kill me, I'll feel very flattered." "Three people?" Ye Kai said, "Only three people want to kill me?" "Only three." "What about you?" Ye Kai asked, "Didn't you come to kill me?" "You should be able to see that I am not." The man in gray smiled at Ye Kai again: "We have no grievances, why should I kill you?" "They have no grievances against me, why did they come to kill me?" Ye Kai asked again. "They came here on orders." "Whose order?" Ye Kai asked: "Ma Kongqun? Or Mr. Wang, the owner of the 'Monkey Garden'?" The man in gray answered this question with a smile: "No matter what, now two of the three of them have died under your fist." "What about the third person?" "Of course the third person is the scariest one." The man in gray said, "It's more terrifying than the previous two combined." "Oh?" "The first person who came to kill you was called Lin Guangzeng, and the second one was called Chen Wen." The gray-clothed man said, "Their swordsmanship is not weak, and they have a lot of experience in killing. Before the trick is used, they have already taken their lives." Ye Kai was smiling, very happy. "But the third person is different." The man in gray said. "Oh?" "The third person is the one who really knows how to kill." "Oh?" "The first two people who died under your fists were because they couldn't know each other." The man in gray said, "Not only did he overestimate himself, but he also underestimated you." ——This is a big taboo for martial arts practitioners, underestimating the enemy is death. "But the third person knows your background and martial arts experience like the back of your hand." The man in gray said, "Because he has thoroughly studied you before he came here, and even killed you just now." You can see the action clearly." Ye Kai admitted this. "But what about you?" The man in gray asked Ye Kai again: "How much do you know about this person?" "I don't know at all." "So you have already fallen behind in this respect." The man in gray sighed. Ye Kai also admitted this. "Do you know where he is?" The man in gray asked again, "Can you see him?" "I can't see it." Ye Kai said, "But maybe I can guess it." "yes?" "He must have come behind me." Ye Kai said, "Just when I was concentrating on you just now, he went around to the back of the house from the other side." "You guessed right." The man in gray showed admiration in his eyes. "Now he may be standing behind me, or he may be very close to me." Ye Kai said, "Maybe he can kill me as soon as he stretches out his hand." "So you haven't dared to look back?" "I really dare not look back." Ye Kai sighed: "Because if I look back, there will be flaws in my body, and he will have a chance to kill me." "You don't want to give him this chance?" "No match." "But even if you don't look back, he still has a chance to kill you." The man in gray said, "It's easier to kill someone from behind than face to face." "Although it's easy, it's not too easy." "why?" "Because I'm not dead, I still have ears to hear." "Did you listen to the wind when he shot?" "yes." "What if his shot is slow and there is no word at all?" "No matter how slow he is, I will always feel it." Ye Kai said lightly, "I have been walking in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years. If I don't even have this feeling, how can I live until now?" "rational." "So if he wants to kill me, he must consider the consequences." Ye Kai said. "Consequences?" said the man in gray, "What kind of consequences?" "He wants my life, and I will also want his life." Ye Kai's voice was still faint: "Even if he can assassinate me under his sword, I will never let him go back alive." The man in gray stared at him for a long time before asking softly, "Are you really sure?" "Yes." Ye Kai said: "Not only do I believe that I have this kind of confidence, but even he must believe it." "why?" "If he doesn't think I have such confidence, why wait until now and not make a move?" "Maybe he's still waiting." The man in gray said, "Waiting for a better opportunity before making a move." "He can't wait." "Then you shouldn't talk to me," said the man in gray. "why?" "Whoever is talking is going to be distracted, and that's when he has a chance." Ye Kai smiled, and suddenly asked the man in gray: "Do you know what happened nearby?" "I don't know." The man in gray said. "I know." Ye Kai said: "Just as you came here, a squirrel got into the hole on the ancient pine tree, shaking six leaves, and two of them fell down. When we started talking, In the wilderness on the left, a adder swallowed a field mouse, a weasel just ran across the road ahead, and a couple in the back just had a quarrel." The more the man in gray said, the more surprised he became. He asked Ye Kai in surprise, "Is what you said true?" "Really." Ye Kai said: "No matter what I'm doing, I can't escape my eyes and ears for any movement within a distance of ten or twenty feet." The man in gray sighed. "It's a good thing I didn't come to kill you." The man in gray smiled wryly: "Otherwise, I might have died under your fist now." Ye Kai did not deny it. The man in gray asked again: "Since you knew he was going to kill you, since you knew he was behind you, why didn't you kill him first?" "Because I'm not in a hurry, it's him who is in a hurry." Ye Kai laughed: "It's he who wants to kill me, not me. Of course I'm calmer than him." "I admire you, I really admire you." The man in gray sighed again: "If we didn't meet in this situation, I really hope to make a friend like you." "Why can't we make friends now?" "Because I came with them." The man in gray said, "It's inevitable that you're somewhat wary of me." "You're wrong!" Ye Kai said, "If I can't see your intentions, how can I talk to you?" "Can I still befriend you now?" the man in gray asked in a surprised tone. "why not?" "But you don't even know what kind of person I am." The man in gray said, "You don't even know my name?" "Can you tell me?" "Of course." The man in gray smiled happily, "My name is Marsha." "Masha!" Of course, this name will not arouse Ye Kai's surprise and suspicion. Many of Ye Kai's friends have far stranger names than this person's name. "My name is Ye Kai." Ye Kai said: "Ye Ye, happy to open." "I know," Martha said, "I've heard your name before." He took a step forward slowly, but he still didn't have a sword in his hand, and there was still no murderous look in his whole body. He walked over to Ye Kai, just wanting to shake hands with Ye Kai and show his closeness, which was a natural thing, because Ye Kai had already regarded him as a friend. Ye Kai was originally a person who liked to make friends very much, so he was not wary of Ma Sha, and of course he is not now. Just when Ma Sha was about to walk in front of Ye Kai, his expression suddenly changed, and he suddenly whispered: "Be careful, be careful behind!" Ye Kai couldn't help but look back. ——No matter who is in this situation, they can't help but look back. The moment Ye Kai just turned his head, Ma Sha suddenly pulled out a sword from his sleeve. A soft sword made of refined steel trembled in the wind, stabbing at the left back of Ye Kai's neck like a poisonous snake. Left back neck. Ye Kai turned his head to look back from the right side. In this case, the back of his left neck is of course an empty door. "Empty door" is a term commonly used by Jianghu people, which means that his part is like a completely undefended empty door, as long as you are happy, you can walk in anytime and anywhere. Everyone has a large blood vessel on the left back of the neck, which is the most important blood vessel in the body. If this blood vessel is cut off, they will bleed profusely and die without help. An experienced killer would never make a move until it is absolutely advantageous and sure. Marsha has undoubtedly grasped the best opportunity to make a move. This was an opportunity he created himself. He was sure that he would never miss this sword, and because he was sure of this point, he didn't leave a way out for himself at all. So he died. three Ye Kai was obviously not on guard at all, and there was no room for parrying and dodging at all. Masha saw this point, when he stabbed with his sword, he felt as if a fisherman had already felt the vibration of the fishing rod , knowing that the fish has been hooked. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Ye Kai raised his hand suddenly, from a position that Masha would never expect. Then Martha heard a sharp "knife sound" as the blade pierced through the air. The sound of knives! Martha only heard the sound of the knife, but he didn't see the knife. He didn't see the knife at all, or the light of the knife, he only heard the sound of the knife, and then his men fell to the ground. Before Ma Sha's sword pierced the back of Ye Kai's neck, he suddenly felt a chill on his own neck. Of course he knew that this was the feeling when he was stabbed by a knife, but he didn't see Ye Kai's knife at all. Of course he knew that Ye Kai was the only descendant of Xiao Li Feidao. Xiao Li's flying knife is a good example. In the past hundred years, no one in the rivers and lakes has ever doubted this sentence. Ever since Shangguan Jin Hong was killed by Li Xunhuan's throwing knife, no one would doubt it anymore. Four When Ma Sha's sword was an inch away from the back of Ye Kai's neck, Ye Kai's flying knife stabbed him in the neck. Just an inch away. One inch is enough. ——The distance between life and death is often shorter than an inch, and the distance between success and failure is often shorter than an inch. This is often the case between victory and defeat, success or failure, so why should a person care more about it? The cold sword edge slid against the back of Ye Kai's neck. Ma Sha's hand holding the sword was completely stiff, and a very ordinary-looking throwing knife was stuck in his neck. A flying knife three inches long and seven minutes long. At this moment, a little blood oozed from the knife wound on Masha's neck, but his eyes were full of disbelief and panic. Ye Kai didn't look back, of course he believed that he would never miss this knife. ——Which time did Xiao Li Fei Dao miss? But Ye Kai heard a sigh and a burst of applause. "Brilliant." A very ordinary voice sighed: "Brilliant." The voice was far away from Ye Kai, so Ye Kai turned around, and when he looked back, he saw a very ordinary person standing far away under the ancient pine tree. This person is of course one of the four people who disappeared suddenly, and this person is of course Wu Tian who conveyed Mr. Wang's order. "I thought you would definitely die." Wu Tian sighed again: "Unexpectedly, he was the one who died." Ye Kai smiled. "When did you realize that he is really the third person who wants to kill you?" Wu Tian asked. "When he came over." Ye Kai said. "When he came over?" Wu Tian said, "At that time, even I thought you were willing to make him a friend. How could you think that he would kill you?" "Because he walked too carefully, as if he was afraid that he would trample an ant to death." "What's wrong with being careful?" "Only one thing." Ye Kai said: "People from the rivers and lakes like us don't care even if seven or eight hundred ants are trampled to death. The reason he walks so carefully is because he is still wary of me." Wu Tian is listening. "Only those who want to harm others in their hearts will be wary of others." Ye Kai said. "Oh?" "I've had this kind of experience." Ye Kai said, "The ones who suffer the most are usually the ones who don't want to harm others." "why?" "Because they have no intention of harming others, so they have no defense against others." Ye Kai said lightly: "If you have had this kind of experience, you will understand what I mean." "I understand what you mean, but I don't have this kind of experience." Wu Tian said, "Because I never trusted anyone." He looked at Ye Kai, smiled and said, "Maybe it's because you have had this kind of experience and learned a painful lesson, so you are not dead now." "Maybe it is." Ye Kai said, "If you fool me once, it's your fault; if you fool me twice, it's my fault." Ye Kai also looked at Wu Tian, ​​smiled and said: "If I don't know how to be vigilant after I have been taught a lesson, I will really deserve to die." "well said." "What about you?" Ye Kai suddenly asked Wu Tian, ​​"Did you come to kill me?" "no." "Didn't you come with them?" "Yes." Wu Tian said, "It's just that the orders we got are different." "Oh?" "The three of them were ordered to kill you, I was just ordered to come and see." Wu Tian said. "Look at what?" "Look at the whole process." Wu Tian said, "Whether they killed you or you killed them, I have to see clearly." "Have you seen it clearly now?" "yes." "So should you go now?" "Yes." Wu Tian said, "It's just that I have one more thing to ask of you." "Say." "I will take them back." Wu Tian said, "Whether they are dead or alive, I will take them back." Ye laughed. "They are of no use to me when they are alive, what use will they be when they are dead?" Ye Kai said, "It's just that I also hope that you can do one thing for me." "Please say!" "No matter who sent you here, I hope you go back and tell him, and ask him to take care of himself." Ye Kai said: "When I go to see him, I hope he is still alive and well." "He will." Wu Tian said: "He has always been a person who knows how to take care of himself." "That would be great." Ye laughed: "I really hope he can live until I go to see him." "I can guarantee that he will not die for the time being." Wu Tian also smiled: "I can also guarantee that you will see him soon."
