Chapter 3 of the novel "Seven Killings"
At night. Huai Feng couldn't sleep well, but there was a faint song in his ear: "No one is at home at night, and this peace of mind is my hometown ..."
"Zhirou!" Huai Feng let out a cry and woke up to see the dim moonlight shining on the floor in front of the bed, just like silver frost. He was no longer in the mood to sleep, got up and put on his clothes, frowning and thinking about his experiences over the years.
Many years ago, he sneaked into the forbidden area of Tianshan Mountain because of naughty, and accidentally saw the blood character of Jinpa. It turned out that his father didn't die of a sudden illness like his mother said, but he seemed to be involved in some Jianghu conspiracy. Mother is full of stunts. Instead of revenging him, she will die in Tianshan Mountain. He went to question his mother, only to find that her face changed greatly, trembling and pointing at him, asking him to leave at once and never to return to Tianshan again. With the wind and anger in his chest, he resolutely left. At first, he lived in Jianghu and suffered a lot. Fortunately, I was taken in by Pei Junheng and Zhan Lingbi, the boss of Chang 'an Meizhuang, and felt a little warmth in the world of mortals. Qi Junheng is a martial arts wizard and often learns martial arts from Huai Feng. Lingbi is elegant and takes good care of Gu Huaifeng's life. Therefore, Huai Feng's martial arts have been greatly improved. However, the good times did not last long. One night, the evil people in the Jianghu came to the fore, making Meizhuang disappear overnight. Huai Feng was in a daze and only knew that he had been carried away, but he woke up in the middle of nowhere. He ran back and saw only a burnt-out ruin. Qi Junheng and Zhan Lingbi have no bones. It is better to be sad with the wind than to say goodbye with blood in person. He thought that his life was full of fog, and his mother drove him out of Tianshan Mountain first. Father's revenge is hard to report, but Mei Zhuang's kindness is hard to report. Why is a gentleman standing? I can't help drinking every day to drown my sorrows. Fortunately, he met the rich Wang Ning and was recruited as a killer. This blink of an eye is seven years.
Seven years of life and death are two boundless.
Huaifeng looked up at the bright moon outside the window, so innocent and bright, reflecting the light like snow in Tianshan Mountain, holy and loving.
The night is deserted and people are not at home. This peace of mind is my hometown. ...
My hometown ... where is my hometown?
Huai Feng took out his portable flute and blew it lightly.
In the opposite room, the woman in black didn't sleep. She stood by the window gloomily, looking at the boundless night sky. She is also a killer under Wang Ning's account, and has been with Huai Feng for many years. She is eager to get close to this seemingly unruly man, but his heart seems to be hidden by thick snow. Even if he is affectionate, his indifference will not change all year round. She bit her arm hard and let the fishy liquid flow into her teeth. Her arms are white, tender and round, but there are several blue teeth marks around them.
At the same time, the quiet room of Tianshan Shenbi Palace. The sound of wooden fish. A silver-haired Tianshan saint knelt on the futon, twisting the beads in his hand and mumbling to Buddha.
An Jidong's injury has basically recovered. The five swords of Tianshan Mountain also went down the mountain. Tianshan saints are considered to be pure-hearted and dedicated practitioners. Suddenly, when the hand rang, the bead rope broke and the rosewood Zhu Xiang fell. She looked up at the Buddha statue in front of her, cigarettes curled up and treasures were merciful. Why does she feel insecure inside? Tianshan Saint slowly turned around and looked at the bronze mirror. She is old, and her face is thin and wrinkled. She smiled sadly and felt the power of time.
The next day, Huai Feng just got up and opened the window. He was greeted by something flying out of the window. He glanced at his face and found it was being nailed to a post. It is a black pennant embroidered with a knife. Huaifeng lazily pulled down the national flag, twisted his hands and unscrewed the flagpole, which was hollow. Huai Feng poured out a piece of paper from the middle, which was the task of this assassination. After reading it, he tore up the paper and got up to find the woman in black.
"Ran Yan, this is the head of Wudang."
"Wudang's head is full of wind and stunts, so he can only fight wits and brave, but he can't force it." Ran Yan warned.
Huai Feng said with a smile, "That's natural. In fact, to kill a person, when he is not prepared, the success rate is the highest. "
"Since he is the head of Wudang, nature is not in the same column as ordinary people. How could he find it easily without preparation? "
"Ha ha ha ha, even if he is the emperor, he is also a person. If you have weaknesses, you will make mistakes. "
"What about you?" Ran Yan asked angrily.
Huai Feng's laughter stopped and he was silent for a while. He said: "I have weaknesses, but I can choose not to make mistakes."
"Where is Wang Ning?" Ran Yan asked again.
Wang Ning?'
"yes."
Huai Feng smiled coldly and looked at Ran Yan with a sneer: "Are you too curious?"
Yan Hua also smiled: "I just want to know what you think."
Huai Feng ignored her. He tied the corners of the bag in a tight knot and said, "Pack your bags. There are only five days before we go to Wudang. "
Smiling at him, after a while, she summoned up the courage to approach him and said softly, "With the wind, life is like morning dew, and there are still many days to go." Do you want to live like this all your life? "
Huai Feng turned around and looked gloomy. Suddenly, he grabbed Ran Yan's front, drew his bow left and right, and slapped her four times. Ran Yan was caught off guard and was defeated by the stars. Her cheeks suddenly swelled up, and she looked at Huai Feng in fear.
Huai Feng, with a heavy eyebrow like a sword, roared, "Don't forget that your identity is to solve trouble for others, not to cause trouble. If you talk nonsense again, I will end your life! "
Ran Yan felt a chill and looked ashamed and resentful. She hit Huaifeng on the back angrily, but Huaifeng dodged gently. By the way, she held her in her arms and shouted, "I'm from Wang Ende, and I'd rather die than betray his trust. If you really can't stand loneliness, find a wild man. Don't think about me, you think it's a waste of time! "
She trembled with anger and tears ran down her cheeks. She tried to break free from the shackles of Huai Feng, who smiled coldly, held her pink cheek and continued to say unkind words: "You are a beauty, why are you mean?" The most precious thing in a girl's family is reserve. Don't be an unqualified partner in my eyes, let alone a woman I despise! "
"That's enough!" Ran Yan slapped Huai Feng angrily, and she whimpered and ran away.
Huai Feng touched his face and gave me a weak smile.
Suddenly there was a rush of hooves outside, and then a man shouted, "Shen Yue and his party are going to the Wudang Heroes' Club, and everyone else is waiting to get out of the way. After a while, there was another pounding of horses' hooves, and another man shouted, "Shen Yue and his party went to have a hero's meeting, and the others withdrew. "
If nine groups of people pass, it will be quiet. Huai Feng went to the window and looked down, almost fascinated by the sudden sandstorm. Another horse hoof came, and then a man shouted, "Shen Yuebang has gone to Dengfeng Wulin League, and idle people are waiting to dodge."
A stall selling rice skin downstairs was knocked down by a speeding motorcade, and a big man immediately jumped out and cursed: "You nerve gangs have dog eyes!" " "
At the end of the parade of Shen Yue Gang, several people stopped their horses, and a little man turned around and shouted, "Who is there to provoke this gang?"
? The big fellow stepped forward angrily and continued to scold: "Grandpa, I am scolding your nerve gang!" " "
"F * * king! Are you an asshole who dares to provoke Shen Yuebang? " The little man jumped off the horse and proudly pulled out his sword. His companions also got off the horse and gathered around.
Behind the big fellow, a dozen people rushed out in a semicircle, and they all said in unison, "A gang with a broken nerve, who stipulates that it can't be provoked ..."; "We Huashan school is noble and decent, and we will let your nerve help run rampant here ..."
? The little man became a little timid when he saw many people. He also insisted: "If you Huashan Sect dare to provoke us, you are not afraid that we will even be adults ..."
? The big fellow laughed and said, "You help a woman's family. What's so great about it? Is it because you are good in bed? Then let the men meet quickly! "
"If you dare insult our king, I will kill you!" The little man flew into a rage and slashed at the big man with a knife. The big man picked up his sword and hit back a few times. With a loud roar, he stabbed the little man in the shoulder. Huashan disciples cheered in unison: "Gee, that's all this nerve can do for dogs." The nerve gang is over. If you don't even tame your own dog, you dare to run to the street and bark. How embarrassing! "
Huai Feng laughed it off, and he said to himself with great interest, "It seems that there is going to be a fight, but we can look at the swordsmanship of Huashan Sect."
Seeing this posture, everyone nearby ran away, leaving only two disciples standing face to face in the middle of the road.
The little man was ashamed and angry and shouted, "Brothers, come with me!" " He waved a knife in the past.
The two factions immediately cut melons and vegetables to fight together. The streets are covered with dust, which makes them look good for a while.
Huai Feng watched it with relish, and suddenly he heard someone exclaim, "What a set of Huashan Thirteen Swords! It seems that Shenyue is no match for these people, and they will definitely lose. "
Looking inside, Huai Feng turned out to be a young Taoist priest, watching from the next window. He is wearing a half-worn blue robe, with a round face, big eyes and childishness. He is only sixteen or seventeen. He commented with interest: "Good move! What a good move! What a good move! " ! That boy will use despicable means! "
? Sure enough, with the help of God, a long man suddenly pulled out a hidden weapon from his waist and threw it at Huashan disciples.
Huashan disciple is about to be hit by hidden weapons.
A figure broke through the window on the second floor, a flash of silver light flashed, and a dozen poisoned wicker darts were nailed to the board of the inn.
The long man was surprised to see that the bearer's posture was extremely fast, and he was afraid that he was no match. He left a sentence without mercy, "Smelly Taoist, wait to see my God Moon gang kill you all at the hero meeting" and left with his disciples.
The rescued Huashan disciples gasped, and they thanked the little Taoist: "Thank you, little brother. If you don't shoot in time, we will be ambushed by God's help. I can't believe my little brother has such good skills at a young age! "
"Ha ha, just a little effort." The little Taoist returned the gift humbly.
"Dare to ask my little brother's name." Huashan people asked.
"Li, a disciple of Xiawudang, sent a heroic post to Tianshan some time ago and is preparing to rush back to Wudang."
When Huai Feng heard the word "Tianshan School", he cried out of breath and his heart was full of ups and downs. He jumped out of the window outside the cloud nine, stepped forward and said, "I am also a brave man." I have been eavesdropping on the comments of Brother Li's swordsmanship just now, and I have benefited a lot! Why don't we go upstairs and have a drink? Oh, it's my treat! "
? Huashan disciple and Li looked at Huai Feng. When they saw him wearing a gold hat and a mink coat, he stood tall and handsome, magnificent and somewhat fond of him. Many people in Jianghu like to make friends with martial arts, so you're welcome. They went into the inn and chose a private room. They invited the chrysanthemum pot, roast lamb leg, three-skin silk, braised camel's hoof, sea cucumber with scallion oil, boiled chicken, shiitake mushroom civet, stewed turtle with gastrodia elata, hibiscus abalone soup, old carved flowers and other precious dishes to entertain everyone. It's cold in winter, and these people warm the stove and have a big feast, which is enjoyable.
? "Brother, what's your name?" Li asked Xiang Huai Feng.
"The next Lin Huaifeng." Huai Feng took the wine with a smile and saluted Huashan people during the dinner: "It's really gratifying that my brother reprimanded the reckless behavior of Shenyue Gang just now!"
"Hum ... I just can't get used to Shen Yue helping grave robbers." After drinking the wine in the cup, the big fellow sneered: "I am a Huashan Sect, but I am not so crazy." A small border guard gang dares to run wild in Shaanxi! "
"Second teacher younger brother, god help although located in the frontier fortress, but it is also a powerful sect on the river's lake over the years. You left the team without authorization to provoke, but for rescuing the Zhu Hui brothers, you would have died. Master usually criticizes your short-tempered temper, but now you don't want to repent! As the eldest brother, I punish you to go back to your room and think about it. You are not allowed to leave the house. " Huashan sent an older, slightly bearded male disciple to reprimand the big fellow.
"Ah ..."
"Ah what, don't go back to your room."
"yes. Brother Zhang. "
After the great man of Huashan left, the great disciple of Huashan apologized to Li and Huai Feng and said, "Let you two laugh. My brother has a bad temper, and he is greedy for words and arguments regardless of the consequences. Alas ..... my teacher has always taught us to be modest and tolerant, and never to be impulsive. "
Huai Feng said with a smile, "This eldest brother is quite a gentleman. May I know your name? "
"I forgave your name, Song Qingming. Brother Lin also went to the hero's meeting this time? "
"Haha, have fun." Huai Feng raised his glass and poured another glass of wine for Song Qingming.
"alone?"
"yes."
"If you don't mind, why don't Brother Li and Brother Lin come with us and have a care on the way?" Song Qingming thought for a moment and asked tentatively.
"No, I want to hurry back to Wudang. Why don't I go first, and Brother Lin and the Huashan brothers will arrive before the hero meeting! " Don't want to dawdle Li for another day. Huai Feng quickly said, "I want to go to Wudang early next time to see the scenery near Wudang Mountain. If Li Ge doesn't bother, why don't you come with me? "
"Well, my brother Lin and I hit it off at once. Why don't we start at once? "
Huai Feng hit his heart and immediately agreed. Peeping outside, Ran Yan bit her red lip and frowned slightly. She thought about it and turned away decisively.
When Ran Yan came downstairs, he was passing by five disciples in Tianshan Mountain.
Fang Xiaohe is blaming Sun: "Xiao Liu, don't patronize eating. You see your face is full these days!" " "
Sun Liubai, with a sugar-coated gourd in his hand, glanced at Fang Xiaohe and said, "Eldest brother, can you stop staring at me? Look at three brothers and five sisters, muddling along, buying all kinds of buy buy. I wonder how much money they have left! "
Jiang Egret laughed: "I don't want to buy it in buy buy either. The key is that your fifth sister loves beauty so much that she bought rouge cream in several colors. "
Ning Zhirou gave him a spoiled beating and said angrily, "Third brother, do you think I spent your money? Ok, I'll pay you back later! "
"Five elder sister, three elder brother this stingy money is used to let you spend, you spend hard, spend much! No white flowers! " Wu Chongshan took advantage of the opportunity to hiss and let Jiang Egret turn around and give him a "head collapse".
Fang Xiaohe sighed: "You guys who don't keep your word only know how to eat, drink and be merry, and forget the business of our trip. Don't worry about observing whether there are two younger brothers nearby along the way! "
? "Eldest brother, don't worry, I'll have a good look. Second brother is definitely not where we hang out. If there is, I will look for him with the eyes refined from peacock gall! " Wu Yuanshan patted his chest to ensure.
? "Eldest brother, changan should find the corner we have searched. Maybe the second brother is really not there. " Ning Zhirou also said.
? "Ah ... in that case, we don't waste time, take another day off, and we will go to Wudang Mountain in Hubei. Otherwise, it will delay the trip. " Fang Xiaohe had to make such an arrangement. He took his disciples into Tian Zi's No.1 room. Just as they closed the door, Li and Huai Feng came out of Room 2. They laughed and walked out of the inn and rode to the next stop.
