Chapter 076 – Killing Each Other in the Alley

The alley was storming, the narrow gutters were too late to cascade water, the cold water of the spring rain like oil soaked over the tops of his feet, making it hard to bear. The jade-like figure in Su Crisp’s eyes seemed to be hesitant to step into the alley, and he was wondering, he only heard a sentence that Su Gongzi was sorry, and then he was struck by a hand knife on the neck and fainted on the spot. Blind female qin master assisted the body paralyzed Su Crisp, towards the courtyard door, a stout man stood still at the threshold, received the Su Crisp, the young woman snapped and put away the oil-paper umbrella, wanting to return to the mute man together, but unexpectedly the courtyard door clattered closed, more obvious but closed the door. The peaceful nature of her also not annoyed, the small umbrella erected in the corner of the doorway, behind the cotton bag has been wet by the rain, revealing the shape of a guqin.

When bending down to quietly put the umbrella, she two fingers buckle the knot, gently wipe, remove the cloth bag, wet cotton cloth along the way to stir up a burst of rainwater.

At the same time three splashes of water burst into the air in the alleyway and swung away, like a lotus flower blooming, and then dissolved in the dim curtain of rain.

Only to see Huang Tong Emei Peach Blossom three flying swords were hit by the invisible qi, flipped a few times in the rain, and then bounced back to the sleeve, hidden into the soft armor sword bag.

The first killing machine heavy temptation, this ended.

The same heavy rain is pouring, the atmosphere inside the courtyard is still very different, the old master who finished moving a few pots of orchids came to the front room, looking at the blacksmith who carried back Su Crisp, his eyes are heavy. The old man usually does not linger in the blacksmith store, are fast walking through the hall, today but moved a bench to sit in front of the door, the blacksmith did not say anything, a foot kicked the chair in front of the fireplace, will be sleeping Su Crisp on the chair, which came to the door squatting, looked back at the young man’s back, sighed.

Su Shu since the old man has become a little-known teacher in the north of the city, and then a child who was beaten board home crying, when the butcher chopped meat skilful man the next day copied the guy to go to the private school hut to beat people, the results of the old man to beat the powerless, when Su Shu is also in the private school shaking his head to read the book of the saint, the hot blood on the head, to go to the old man to help the fight, to help the help, only, causing the old man’s arms were Cut open a large mouth, the butcher actually did not think to teach the stereotypes of the old pedant to see the blood, a moment of panic, fled out of the hut, and then the iron uncle Qi went to the meat store, but also did not want to go back to the field face and medical compensation, only to listen to watching the neighbors said that the butcher saw the blacksmith, take the knife to the anvil a chop, uncle Qi returned a sentence I was to buy meat, so that the Su crispy heard after the hate to dig a hole in the ground to drill down. The first time I heard of this, Su Ciao wanted to dig a hole in the ground and go down.

Teenage years, the family of two old bachelor also became Liu Scarzi gang of exposing Su Shu’s laughingstock, fight is certainly not beat, Su Shu retreat to the second best, the nearby city every time there are shrewd woman damsel stranglehold scolding, he held a bowl at the side of the squatting watch the show, and learned a lot of spicy swear words, these years benefit, Liu Scarzi did not have a quarrel defeat not seven smoke. But Su pastry also know, will fight is not useful, with the old man will talk about reasoning or can not resist a coarse butcher, so he likes to listen to those warrior snow without a trace of the legendary story of the sword, but also think of this life if you can deal with this kind of extraordinary jianghu characters, even if it is to be beaten up, but also worth it. In his impression, the warrior well, are not going the ordinary way, show up not to say hold the sword stand in the highest part of the city, even if it appears in the city alleys and lanes, but also have to be the least is standing on the roof or adobe wall to deserve the word master, but unfortunately the town outside the military camp stationed, live for more than twenty years, even a flying warrior good man also did not get to see the previous few years it was hard to hear that the purple sable platform there are two batches of warriors! Competition over strokes, early in the morning to run to appreciate the elegance of the high people, where I expected a bag of melon seeds are stoned, midday before showing up, together with more than twenty people, each holding a sword, quite like things, the results of the two leaders standing on the top of the purple sable platform do not move hands and only move their lips, scolded for a few hours, even said that the next time to fight again, back to their own homes, resulting in the Su crispy home and then lay in bed half a day did not come back to God. At that time only up a little bit of martial arts training vigor immediately to a bubble of urine completely doused, originally every day in the past with a few of his age to go to the dry riverbank stakes to practice boxing, after that no one is willing to mention.

Regrettably, he seems to have missed a very close to the pinnacle of the fight, and even more regrettable is that he may not know the truth in this life, as he did not know the old man and the blacksmith’s staggering identity.

The front yard planted a clump of plantain, taller than the wall stacks, sickly, the vast majority of plantains like half-shade warm climate, the courtyard of this clump of Huang Ji plantain hardy, is a minority of bananas can be grown in the North Mang side of the banana, but the courtyard soil and water is not good, sparse growth, or thanks to the young people over the years did not have to pick the plantain leaves to play with the bad habits of this scene.

The sound of the wind and rain, the sound of the rain hitting the banana, very boring.

The stout blacksmith muffled, ”The only one who knows that we have landed here is Li Yishan, the poisonous scholar of Northern Liang. The two people outside the door, the woman carrying the qin at the entrance of the courtyard, and the man wearing a sword at the strong end of the alley are not simple, if there was only one, I would still be able to block it.”

Miserable wind and bitter rain whisking face and blowing beard, the old man as if he did not realize, softly said: “When running away to the cliffs that can look at the South China Sea Guanyin nunnery, it is Li Yishan personally led the troops to drive away, but also he privately released the three of us. Only that the kingdom of western Sichuan has not yet reached the time of severance, I Zhao Dingxiu these years to think about, to say that Li Yishan is to help my dynasty to restore the country, is how also do not believe that, but regardless of this in the Spring and Autumn to the household plan famous in the world of the strategist played what the calculations, since unprecedentedly did not extinguish the household of the western Sichuan royal family, then I’m the old man even if to the north of the Liang as a cow as a horse, but also have no second thoughts, but if you want to Prince to put his life at risk, do something something similar to taking a life in exchange for the sight of the Zhao family’s son of heaven, I definitely won’t agree.”

The blacksmith smothered his voice, the thoughts of the readers, he had always been unable to think clearly, and was also too lazy to think about it. Settled here for more than twenty years, whenever Su Su sleeps, born in the Western Shu sword casting family, he started to beat iron and cast swords, a sword, casting for more than twenty years. He could not think of a good name, the old master said that this sword would be called Spring and Autumn.

The old master asked in a deep voice: “When will it come out?”

The blacksmith urned, “Anytime.”

The old husband nodded and asked, “The woman who carries the zither is most likely the devil Xue Songguan, it seems that there is a new list of killers, and she is tied for the top spot with a young girl who killed Wang Mingyin. But the qin lies in banning the evil and positive heart, taking in the souls of the ghosts and gods, was used by her to kill people, fell into the downward spiral of the wrong way ah.”

The blacksmith surnamed Qi pulled the corners of his mouth and did not make a sound.

The old man laughed at himself: “know what you want to say, similar to the collection of the world’s gold and silver in the chaos of this kind of shallow reasoning, I also understand, the military chaos easy to come out of the heirloom of the lute song, but can not come out of the best piano score, but also some of the scholarly spirit is just, the eyes can not rub sand into the sand. My family has been making qin for generations, and there are many national artists, the unique skill of eight treasures of lacquer and gray, I’m afraid that in my hands will be broken.”

The blacksmith sighed, glanced at the old man, remembered that it seems that this maester Zhao in front of him has a qin world up and down a hundred years without an opponent, or Huang Longshi that old turtle personally said. Only nowadays, who still has this leisure.

Outside the wall in the alley.

The blind zither master sat cross-legged, the burnt-tailed ancient zither placed across his knees, his left hand hanging in the air, and one finger of his right hand picking at the strings.

The clanging sound instantly overpowered the sound of the wind and rain.

The young swordsman standing on the corner with an umbrella finally stepped into the alley with one foot and began to run wildly.

The gray sky and earth were cut in two by this pick, a vague silver line sliced through the rain curtain like tofu and intercepted, Xu Fengyen’s toes pointed and his figure jumped over the silver line. The water curtain after the break composite, alleyway two walls are not so lucky, torn out a thin invisible ditch marks.

The distance between the two men changed from one hundred paces to eighty paces.

Long a beautiful doll round face of the female zither player immersed in it, ignoring the umbrella man rushed forward, still right-handed, but two fingers on the strings, a hit round.

Xu Fengyen, who visited the alley on a rainy night, narrowed his eyes, his palm slid down, holding the handle of the umbrella, and twisted his fingers lightly, the simple oil paper umbrella rotated and fluttered in the alley.

With a snort, the oil paper umbrella was twisted by the qi machine like two silver threads with substantial sharp edges sliding and cutting through, Xu Fengyen who discerned the trajectory in an instant stepped out to the right hand, his toes pointing on the wall, his body tilted in the air, just in time to avoid the killing machine.

Seventy steps.

The woman makes a relatively tedious folding trickle gesture.

The soybean raindrops in the alley instantly shattered, and countless tiny pits were blown out on the walls on both sides. The oil paper umbrella that had not yet landed on the ground was almost crushed into pieces.

Xu Fengyen’s footsteps did not stop, with a wave of his cuffs, he responded with the River Breaking response that the canyon had realized from facing the bison herd’s stampede, and since it could break the great river, it naturally broke the rainy zither.

The two majestic like dragon snake swimming in the water of the great qi bombarded together, Xu Fengyen took advantage of the situation to drill through the wall of shattered rain stirred up in the alleyway, pulling closer to sixty paces.

The blind zither master’s slender right hand rolled a handful.

A particularly thick silver thread rolled and churned in front of her body, traveling and gliding recklessly in the alleyway, just like a scaly dragon out of the river, pouncing on Xu Fengyen, who was unwilling to stop in his tracks. Another slightly smaller scale of silver line snake from behind the arc swept the air, in her left hand wall cracked a center thick two shallow slits, the first shot to the bow waist running knife man. In the sheath spring thunder from hand, and this silver snake entangled together, bloomed a string of sparks, Xu Fengyen and then five fingers into a hook, the right hand hold that a tail such as python jiao ferocious swim to the silver light, sudden force, a pinch and break, splash in the chest splattered open, it is really a good picture of the scene of flowers.

Where Xu Fengyen’s figure reached, the rain then poured down on the blind female zither player.

Only fifty paces away.

The Spring Thunder was flicked by Xu Fengyen’s finger, stabbing straight up into the sky, cutting through the rainy curtain of the sky and crashing into the woman’s head.

A golden wisp came out of the sleeve.

Tonight here to wait for the rabbit of the woman’s face as usual, hanging left hand finally fell, slippery sound chanting brisk, a reversal of the previous gentle and calm, because of the pressing strings forceful, so stirred the thunder.

Spring Thunder Sheath and flying sword Golden Wisp were cut off Qi traction, although Xu Fengyen regenerated a gas, strong recovery, but also lost the first opportunity, finally had to stop and stand, double sleeves rolled up and launched, hard to fight against the zither master’s left hand and two hands to create the string silk killing machine.

Needle piercing mirror.

Mirror surface is sturdy, can not resist the needle has a thousand.

After the blink of an eye, the sound of the zither stopped, Xu Fengyen looked down at his left shoulder, blood oozed out, getting thicker and thicker, even at the beginning of the Great Vajra, he could not stop the injury.

He somewhat understood why it was called specializing in Finger Xuan Killing Vajra.
