Chapter 24 Chapter 8: A Battle Without Regrets

It was morning again. The distant mountains turn from blue gray to emerald green in the morning light, and the spring water flowing here gradually slows down. Although the wind is still cold, the breath is more fragrant, because the flowers are blooming on the hillside, and the colorful frigid flowers quietly embrace the wooden house. Early in the morning, Fu Hongxue had already gotten up, and was already chopping firewood in the yard. Although his hand usually holds a knife, it is still very sensitive and graceful when chopping wood. He kicked the wood with his toes, and with a wave of his hand, the giant ax fell lightly, and with a "click", the wood split in two.

In the morning light, his eyes were like distant mountains, blue-gray, distant and indifferent. ——Why his eyes, no matter when and where, always look so far away?so indifferent?Are only those who have experienced countless times of life and death, countless times of love and hate, can have such a distant and indifferent look in their eyes? The corpse that died in the courtyard yesterday had already been removed, and the blood had already coagulated with the soil. The world was still so peaceful and peaceful, but Fu Hongxue knew that after today, this kind of life would probably not exist again. .

He is not a person who is afraid of death, but in the face of unknown dangers, he has no confidence at all. Most importantly, he has found that he has begun to miss the life of these two days. - the life of the family. As a prodigal son, as a person who is always in danger, contention, and swords, "home" is a very distant mirage. Although they sometimes dream about "life at home" when they dream back at midnight.But usually they are afraid to live this kind of life. Because "home life" will make people feel happy and joyful, but it will obliterate their "strange instinct".

There are many people in the world who are like beasts, with a strange instinct, they always seem to be able to smell danger. Although they didn't see or hear anything, when danger came, they could always miraculously avoid it the moment before. If this kind of person is an official, he must be a famous official of a generation; if he fights a war, he must be a general who wins; Zhuge Liang and Guan Zhong are such people, so they can be prepared for danger in times of peace, govern the country and secure the world. Han Xin, Yue Fei, and Li Jing are also such people, so they can win a thousand miles, invincible, and invincible.

Li Xunhuan, Chu Liuxiang, Tie Zhongtang, Shen Lang, Yang Zheng, Xiao Shishilang, they are all such people, so they can dominate the wind, stay in the martial arts world, and become legends in the world. After many, many years Afterwards, he was still the idol in the hearts of young knight-errants. The "strange instinct" in other words, is the sixth sense. Home life is the best killer of destroying the sixth sense, so most prodigal sons are afraid to try to live a "home" life, because they all have to live in the rivers and lakes.When Fu Hongxue knew that he had such a thought in his heart, he knew that his life might be destroyed at any time, but he also felt that the life of these few days was the most peaceful and pleasant time in his life.

——It is better to live happily for a few days than to live a lifetime of pain. Live happily for a few days? In a person's life, it is enough to "live happily for a few days", so Fu Hongxue knows that today he will encounter "unknowable" danger, and even take his life, but he doesn't care about it at all. No fear, or panic. He still wakes up early, chops firewood, and waits for Fengling's delicious breakfast. breakfast?But the last breakfast? The sun is still as bright as it was a thousand years ago, the flowers are still blooming as it was a thousand years ago, the earth is still as fragrant as it was a thousand years ago, and people are still alive as they were a thousand years ago.

Just a different mood. The wind blows, and the dead leaves flutter down. Even though it is summer, there are still fallen leaves, just like winter, there are also new shoots. One, two, three fallen leaves... The sun has gradually risen, the wind chimes under the eaves are ringing with the wind, and the wind chimes sleeping in the house have also woken up, walked out, and walked to the wind chimes hanging under the eaves . "Morning." Feng Ling said softly. "You got up late." Fu Hongxue said calmly. "The sun is so nice today." Feng Ling looked around and said, "The wind is also very soft."

"Today is also a good day for killing people." Fu Hongxue said suddenly. Feng Ling was not surprised at all, she just smiled sweetly: "I believe in you." She paused, and then said: "No matter who is here today, I believe you will be sure to settle them down." Fu Hongxue suddenly stopped chopping firewood, slowly stood up straight, slowly raised his head, stared at the wind chime with those dark and distant eyes, and then spoke in a tone like a cold phoenix. "I'm dead, isn't it as you wish?" "Yes." Feng Ling's expression didn't change, she still smiled intimately: "But that's when I want to kill you with my own hands."

She smiled again and said, "Did you forget that I will come here with you just to kill you with my own hands." "I haven't forgotten." Fu Hongxue said. "Then how can I be happy if you die at the hands of others?" Feng Ling said. "yes?" "So I believe that no matter who comes today, you must be sure to defeat them." Feng Ling said, "Because I believe you will not do anything that makes me unhappy." "I won't." Fu Hongxue actually replied like that. "I know." Feng Ling smiled sweeter: "So I have prepared breakfast."

"Eat later." "why?" "Because I'm afraid that people will come and compete with me for food." Although these words were addressed to Feng Ling, Fu Hongxue's gaze had already drifted to the door behind him. Feng Ling's gaze quickly followed, so she quickly saw seven people slowly walking into the yard. The sun is shining, the flowers are blooming, the wind is blowing, the leaves are moving, and the chill of last night has gradually disappeared with the sunshine. But Fu Hongxue felt that the temperature of the ground seemed to have dropped below freezing point, because at this moment he saw the first person to leave.

The first person walked in slowly. This person had a long face, like a horse's face, covered with pea-like pimples, and his eyes were bloodshot. Some people are born with a fierce look, and he is one of them.He walked into the yard, looked around, and said to him, "Good place, really good place." There was a tree stump in the yard. The first person sat down slowly. He took out a pair of very large scissors and slowly cut his nails. The extra-large scissors, weighing about thirty-five catties, were as light as a lover's hair in his hands. Fu Hongxue recognized him, his name was Jian Jian, and he also called him "Cut it once." When a person is in his hands, it is like a fingernail under scissors. Among the killer organizations in Jianghu, he is the one who kills the most. Every time he kills, he is close to madness, and when he sees blood, he goes completely crazy. The second person who walked in slowly had a pale blue face, no flesh, his nose was like an eagle's, and his eyes were like those of a vulture that eats dead bodies. He held a sword in his hand. Jian Guang was also like his face, shining with a pale blue light. He didn't look simple and vicious, but he was more gloomy. —Is not gloom sometimes more terrible than evil? There was a tree in the yard, and as soon as he came in, he lay down in the shade. After he lay down, he sighed heavily: "It's a good place, it's really a blessing to die in such a place." Fu Hongxue didn't recognize him, but he knew this person's temper—this person had always hated the sun the most. "Shadow Sword" Ximen Shuai. There are not many people in the world who can afford him. His price is high, of course it's worth it, he never kills easily, even rarely, but the people he wants to kill have already entered the coffin. He never wanted anyone to watch when he killed, because sometimes even he himself felt that the methods he used were too cruel. "If you want to kill a person, you have to make him turn into a ghost so that he won't dare to take revenge on you." This is what Ximen Shuai often said. The third person and the fourth person walked in together. These two people could tell at a glance that they were twins. Not only did they look exactly the same, they were also fat, thin, tall and short, and their beards were neatly trimmed. The two people walked in, looked around, and said at the same time leisurely: "It's a good place, it's a good place, it's really a good fortune to be able to wait for death in this kind of place!" Of course Fu Hongxue also recognized these two people, there were probably very few people in the world who didn't recognize their twins. Ouyang Ding and Ouyang Dang, "Dingdang twins, eat meat and bones". The fifth one looked very gentle and kind, with a fair face and a well-groomed beard. With his hands behind his back, Shi Shiran walked in, not only with a smile on his face, but also with smiling eyes. He didn't speak, and he didn't have a weapon on his body. He looked like a special guest who came to visit a friend. Fu Hongxue didn't recognize this person, but when he saw this person, he suddenly felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet. He stood in the yard with a smile on his face, neither anxious nor speaking, as if it didn't matter if he had to wait for three days and three nights. How could such a gentle, elegant, gentle and polite person be a killer? Fu Hongxue believed that the total of the four people who walked in in front of him was absolutely no match for this gentle man. Looking at this very gentle man, Fu Hongxue suddenly remembered eight words. "Gentle and gentle, very slowly very slowly". These eight characters are used to describe a person, not only very gentle but also very slow when describing a person killing people. It is said that he killed people very slowly, and very slowly. It is said that he once killed a person for three days. It is said that when the person died three days later, no one would recognize that he was a human being. But these are just legends, not many people believe in them, and even fewer people see them with their own eyes. But Fu Hongxue believed that if there really was such a person as "gentle and gentle, very slow, very slow", then it must be this very gentle and delicate person in front of him. The sun is brighter. Jian Jian was still manicuring his nails, Ximen Shuai was lying in the shade of a tree, and he didn't even raise his head.The Jingle twins sat by the fence, watching intently the little wildflowers poking out of the dirt. In their eyes, Fu Hongxue seemed to be a dead person. They didn't move, and of course Fu Hongxue didn't move, and the wind chime wouldn't move either. She stood quietly by the door, watching everything in the courtyard. They were in a stalemate like this, and after an unknown amount of time, they heard a burst of laughter, and with the laughter, two more people walked in. The sky is full of flowers and clouds are in the sky The two of them walked away with a smile, looked around, and took a long time to come forward, smiling softly and kindly, and said to Fu Hongxue: "You have worked hard these two days!" "It's okay." Fu Hongxue replied coldly. "Did you sleep well last night?" "Sleep well and eat well." "It's a blessing to be able to eat and sleep." Hua Mantian said with a smile, "It's a pity that blessed people always have a shorter life." "Oh?" Hua Mantian looked at Fu Hongxue with a smile, "Your Excellency doesn't seem like a short-lived person, and everything he does is short-lived." Fu Hongxue just looked at him coldly. "Do you want to be a person who is both blessed and long-lived?" "Oh?" Fu Hongxue sneered, and then said, "Then she?" "Her?" Hua Mantian looked at the wind chime standing at the door: "Then it depends on what you want." "How to say?" "If you don't want to be burdensome, I promise you to leave cleanly and refreshed." Hua Mantian said with a smile: "If you want to hide your beauty, then Wanmatang must have your golden house." "Just?" "yes." Fu Hongxue coldly glanced over everyone's faces, and of course stayed on Hua Mantian's face in the end: "You have spent so much effort just for me to go back to Wanmatang?" "The third boss is afraid that you will catch the cold outside." Hua Mantian said with a smile, "I hope Brother Fu will know what the third boss thinks." "I know." As soon as the words fell, Fu Hongxue's men flew up, and the pitch-black knife was unsheathed. What he attacked was not Huamantian, nor the very gentle and delicate person, but the simplicity who was the farthest from him. The more vicious the person looks, the weaker the heart must be, especially the simple one with the big scissors. He is vicious, and he is holding big scissors, just to cover up his inner fear. Among the seven people who came, he must be the weakest in martial arts. Fu Hongxue undoubtedly saw this point very accurately. Before his people reached Jian Jian, he had already seen white fear in Jian Jian's black eyes. The screams were almost at the same time as the sound of the knife. With a flash of light from the knife, a streak of blood appeared on Jian Jian's forehead, and then the white fear in his eyes slowly spread. In a situation where there are many enemies and we are few, the first person to attack should be the strongest person on the other side. "Catch the snake and catch the seven inches. To catch the thief, catch the king first." Of course Fu Hongxue knew this truth, but why did he attack the opponent's weakest link first? Feng Ling didn't understand why Fu Hongxue would do this?They don't understand Huamantian either. Among this group of people, it seemed that only the very refined and delicate person knew why Fu Hongxue did this.Before the enemy's strength is fully understood, attacking the opponent's strongest part in order to rush to attack is suspected to hasten his own death. Because how strong is the opponent?Is it stronger than you imagined?Or are you vulnerable at all?You don't know these things at all, and if you attack the opponent's strong man rashly, you will undoubtedly push yourself to the edge of the cliff. In such cases, the best thing to do is to attack the opponent's weakest link first, because you know that this link can be knocked down. If one is defeated, one point of strength of the other side will be eliminated, and the scores of the two sides will become closer and closer. Just as Fu Hongxue got up and flew, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of that very gentle and delicate person. When Fu Hongxue landed and swung the saber down, the old strength was exhausted and the new strength was not born, the hands of the very gentle and delicate man suddenly raised, and several jet-black cold lights flew out of his hands, shooting at Fu Hongxue's broad and firm body. back. At the same time, the originally leisurely "Ding Dong Twins" also suddenly made a move. Two long whips like spirit snakes swam out of Brother Dingshao's hands without a sound, and nimbly rolled towards Fu Hongxue's throat. With a powerful hidden weapon waiting behind him, and snake-like long whips waiting on the left and right, all of Fu Hongxue's escape routes were blocked. But these were not the main attack force. They attacked like this, just to let the "Yin Soul Sword" of Ximen Shuai, who had been lying in the shade of the tree, pierce Fu Hongxue's lower abdomen smoothly. If one does not bow one's head, one cannot clearly see the movement on the ground in front of one's eyes, but Fu Hongxue is worthy of being called Fu Hongxue. He had already figured out where the real danger was with his "strange instinct". Although he had exhausted his old strength and hadn't produced new strength, although he could no longer jump up in an instant, he made a move that shocked everyone. He suddenly squatted down and faced the "Yin Soul Sword" that was about to stab out. Seeing Fu Hongxue squatting down suddenly, Shuai Ximen was taken aback, but the "Yin Soul Sword" in his hand still stabbed out quickly. It's a pity that being so stunned has already given Fu Hongxue a way out. Fu Hongxue squatted down just to make Ximen Shuai stunned. As long as he was stunned and the "Yin Soul Sword" in his hand stopped for a while, then Fu Hongxue's death-black knife would have a chance to cut against the tip of the sword. There was no sound, no sound of knives, only sparks. The sparks were not bright, just like a few sparks, Ximen Shuai saw his sword suddenly split in two, and then heard the sound of the knife cutting into the bone. It seemed that Fu Hongxue had won the attack this time. But when his blade sliced ​​into Ximen Shuai's bone, Fu Hongxue's face showed unprecedented fear. It wasn't him who was chopped off, he obviously won this time, why did he have a look of fear on his face?
