ten steps one kill

Shi nodded, then shook his head and said, "I'm not going to die, I'm just gambling with my life. If I lose the bet, I may die an ugly death, but I entered the game to win."

Zhao Qiancheng was slightly taken aback, looking through the messy hair, tortured him with barbed eyes.

He couldn't figure out what else this person could ask, so he could only wait quietly, quickly calculating the sophistry in his mind, but Zhao Qiancheng just shrugged his shoulders and said, "Okay, I'm impressed with you."

This time it was Yan Qianfan's turn to be stunned.

He couldn't help but look at the person opposite. This person was brought out of the gambling house by him. He seemed to be unable to adapt to the sunlight. He shrunk his shoulders and retracted his chin into his neck. The domineering attitude in the workshop is like a sneaky thief on the side of the road.

But he felt that there was an unprecedented sincerity in this man's words.

On the eve of dusk, the sunlight had not yet been dyed red by the twilight, and the light was clear and pure. It leaked from between the two high walls of the alley, sprinkled on one shoulder of his, and flowed down his arm like a bright waterfall. to the palm of your hand.

The five fingers bathed in the sun moved subconsciously, and the trembling of the fingertips stopped.

He clenched his five fingers tightly, as if he wanted to hold the sunshine in his palm, but how could he hold on to the flowing things, the palm only had the tingling pain left by his nails, which was empty and soft.despite this.He still felt a pang of contentment, as though those useless hands had really grasped something.

At this time, there was a faint clanging sound coming from my ears, and the shadow of swords and swords pierced the silence. I don't know who it was, what they were about to bet on, and what they were plundering.

The rivers and lakes are still the muddy rivers and lakes, he settled down, ignored the commotion beside him, and walked towards his own gambling game.

The sound of swords and swords came from the roof of Sanxiaolou.

There is a clear distinction between poverty and poverty on Yingzhou Island. The top of the mountain is a grand courtyard of a famous family, but there are only low and simple houses at the bottom of the mountain. Although the Sanxiao Tower has only three floors, it is already a standout one. On the long ridge, the ridge tiles are arranged section by section like a keel, and the tiles on both sides are spread out like dragon scales, and the angle of inclination is steeper than that of ordinary houses.The end is turned upwards, and it looks like a roc flapping its wings from a distance.

The grievances and grievances that have not been settled in the Sanxiaolou often continue to be settled on this dragon's spine.

At this moment, Guan Ye was chasing Lu Wan on the Dragon's Back.

Young, chasing white hair, weird scene.

Guan Ye lost a bet to Lu Wan in Qiong Xiao Tower on the second floor, and was cut off by the latter alive. The severed wrist was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze, and it was still white when he went out. dyed red.And the broken hand that was severed had been thrown in the alley long ago, eaten by wild dogs, and now it has turned into a ball of bones.

Guan Ye didn't care about the whereabouts of the disabled hand, he only had hatred in his eyes, as if he was being burned by two flames, the veins on his pale face were bulging, the canthus of his eyes were cracked, and his whole body exuded a sickly ghostly aura.

After winning Guan Ye, Lu Wan also lost a round, but the opponent he met was a kind person, so he let him go.Lu Wan, with both hands intact, would not have lost to Guan Ye.But Guan Ye chased after him all the way, and soon exhausted Lu Wan's physical strength.

Lu Wan stood on a ridge tile, his gray hair was covered with sweat, his wrinkled cheeks moved violently, and he was panting heavily.He held a golden saber in his hand, but after his fingers were shattered, he couldn't use the saber technique he was proud of, and his martial arts plummeted. behind.

No matter how long the dragon's ridge is, there is an end, and the sole of his foot has stepped on the last ridge tile.

His eyes searched around, but Guan Ye's voice came from behind: "I have torn down the way up, just jump down and see if you will break your leg."

He turned his head, his feet were already a little weak.

Guan Ye let out a sneer, and the hoarse laughter was also ghostly. "If you obediently let me cut off a hand, I will spare you."

He argued at the top of his voice, "Are you crazy? You are willing to bet and admit defeat. Why do you take revenge on me?"

"You're willing to bet and admit defeat, and you lose too. Why do you live in peace?"

Lu Wan didn't answer. He has lived for 50 years, and he has long known that jealousy is the most common emotion in the world.In the face of jealousy, even money has to give way, and words are even more pale.

He vaguely remembered that this young man's housekeeping skill seemed to be called Fei Yejian.It's a pity that Fei Ye was wrapped in dirty jealousy, she was no longer light and green, and attacked him like a pitch-black ghost claw.

He thought, when he was young, he was reckless, betrayed by others, and wasted half his life. When he was dying, who would come to rescue him.

There will be no more.

Rather than kneeling down and begging for mercy, trying to survive, it would be more joyful to die together with this person.

The white-haired person pulls the black-haired person to meet the King of Hades together, earning 30 years of time for nothing, which is really a good deal.

Lu Wan's mind had been made up, and he felt relaxed all of a sudden, even though the wind was howling on the roof, his feet were as steady as walking on the ground.

He turned around and faced the direction of Guan Ye. The two of them seemed to be wrestling at the two ends of a lonely bridge. A smile floated up.

Guan Ye saw his expression, his eyes tightened immediately, and he asked in a hoarse voice, "What are you going to do?"

Lu Wan squeezed out a giggling laugh from the depths of his throat, his voice sounded like a mouse in the gutter: "Young man, anyway, if you broke your hand, you can only be a useless person in the future. Why don't you die with me."

Guan Ye's face darkened, and he scolded angrily: "You old bastard! What crazy words!"

Lu Wan still smiled and said, "You might as well try it and see if what I'm saying is crazy."

After finishing speaking, Lu Wan lowered his arms and assumed a stance to meet the enemy like a falcon. He was a different person from when he fled in a hurry just now. His gray eyes were fixed on the opponent, and he changed from a prey to a hunter immediately.

Guan Ye was startled for a moment, then frowned quickly, and returned with a more fierce gaze, the haze on his face deepened.Just now he was only planning to chop off one of Lu Wan's hands, but now his eyes are full of murderous intent.

Killing intent is like a snowball on the top of a mountain, once it starts to roll, it becomes bigger and bigger, and the speed of going down the slope becomes faster and faster.

"Sure enough, I should have killed you sooner."

After leaving these words, Guan Ye raised his sword.

As soon as he made a move, it was a deadly move, like pouring the ghost energy all over his body on the Feiye sword. The light greenness of Feiye was stained with mud and dirt by his killing intent. Spread pain and death.

But Lu Wan saw the path of the sword clearly, he didn't hide, instead he stood up with his feet back and forth, and stomped heavily on the ridge tile.The tiles were overwhelmed, making a cracking sound, breaking and collapsing from the joints, and his feet were firmly embedded in the gap like old trees taking root, and his arms were stretched out like thin and long vines, turning into A trap, waiting for the prey to throw itself into the net.

Guan Ye showed shock, but that move was too hasty, and it was too late to stop.

The smile on Lu Wan's face deepened, he stared at Guan Ye, but out of the corner of his eye he caught a glimpse of the dog in the alley downstairs.It was a dirty, ugly, scrawny wild dog that had just snatched away the severed hand that Guan Ye had abandoned, with fresh blood still staining the corner of his mouth, obviously eating happily.He thought that if the two of them fell down together later and fell into a ball of rotten meat, probably its whole family, old and young, would be able to have a good meal.

For some reason, at the moment of life and death, what he saw was such insignificant trifles.

He has no relatives and no reason in his life. Whether he is happy or sad, he tastes the taste alone, chews and swallows it alone, and leaves everything with others. Unexpectedly, when he dies, he has concluded some things that cannot be shaken off for nothing. fetters.

Maybe this is life.

The sound of the dog barking penetrated into the ears, very noisy.

The barking of the hungry beast was not because of the pie from the sky, but on the contrary, because the delicious meal that was brought to his mouth flew away for no reason.

The two people on the roof did not fall from the eaves and fell into a puddle of mud.

They were stopped by a third person.

Like a gust of wind, the man floated upstairs by stepping on the wall and the corner of the wing, and just stopped between the two of them. Hold the wrist and push the palm, and use the palm to switch off the fierce and swift attack.

Lu Wan came out of nowhere, opened his mouth into a circle, and asked in a sharp voice: "Liu Hongfeng, what are you doing here?"

Liu Hongfeng turned her head and said, "I have something to ask you, but you two ran to the roof to enjoy the shade, and asked me to find it."

Of course, these two people didn't come to enjoy the cool.

Although Lu Wan breathed a sigh of relief, Guan Ye's face darkened: "Chengliang is a fart, I'm here to settle accounts with him."

Liu Hongfeng's eyes wandered over Guan Ye, from the young and angry face to the heaving chest, and finally stopped on the bloody severed wrist: "You lost the bet to him, and he cut off a hand, so Planning to take revenge on him in private?"

A trace of shame flashed across Guan Ye's face, but he quickly raised his head and said in a more arrogant tone: "The grudge between me and him has nothing to do with you?"

Liu Hongfeng laughed lightly, and said: "It's true that it has nothing to do with me, but I have something important to ask him, I can't just sit and watch him die under your sword, how about this, if I chop off his hand for you, can you Can't show any mercy. Give his people to me."

Guan Ye was stunned for a moment, and said: "Okay, then you can do it now!"

One moment Lu Wan was gloating, but the next moment he felt chills running down his back. It turned out that Liu Hongfeng was not a divine soldier, and the hand on his shoulder was not a life-saving straw, but a shackle that imprisoned him.His face was pale, he stood still and did not dare to move, his teeth were chattering, and he stumbled and said, "This... this can't be done, the grievances between me and him are just the filth in the gambling house, how can... how can it be dirty Mr. Feng's hand."

Hearing this, Liu Hongfeng nodded, and turned his gaze back to Guan Ye: "His words are very reasonable. You said you want me to do it for you, but will you be paid?"

With a dark face, Guan Ye said impatiently, "No, I've been penniless for a long time."

Liu Hongfeng spread out his free hands: "Then forgive me for not being able to do it for me." After finishing speaking, he clamped Lu Wan tightly in his arms, as if to leave.

"Come back!" Guan Ye shouted from behind the two, "How dare you! How dare you take him away!"

Before Liu Hongfeng could reply, the sword entwined with ghostly aura charged again.

Guan Ye's move was a vicious ultimate move, flying leaf swords danced all over the sky, and dark sword flowers bloomed everywhere.

Liu Hongfeng immediately dodged and backed up on the dragon's spine. Lu Wan was caught in his arms and followed him all the way back. He felt dizzy, and the golden knife at his waist went into his palm if he didn't pay attention.The sword was drawn suddenly, confronting Guan Ye's sword force.

Liu Hongfeng was in a weak position and burdened, he was forced to the end within a few strokes, his heels were already on the edge, and he would fall if he took a step back.But Guan Ye couldn't break the distance of this step. No matter how Fei Yejian charged, the opponent still remained motionless.

There was a look of astonishment on Guan Ye's face, and the surprise even overshadowed the anger.

The soles of Liu Hongfeng's feet were like dancing songs, full of rhythm.When the song reached the bottom of the valley, it slowly raised up, and when it was pitching, it was already firmly wrapped around the opponent's sword, and the momentum was taken back into its own hands.With one hand, he used a snake-like saber technique, repeatedly attacking the opponent's dead corners, forcing Guan Ye to retreat again and again, and finally retreated to the center of the dragon's spine.

He put the knife back into the sheath, his face remained unchanged, but his breath was short, but Guan Ye was already exhausted, his shoulders were heaving, and a bloodshot appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Anyone can see that if the entanglement continues, Guan Ye must be the loser.

Liu Hongfeng put the saber back into its sheath, raised the arm that had turned into victory just now, and said: "Look, even if I only use one hand, I can still compete with you, and I can still beat you. You are young. Why did he hastily cut off his own path."

Kano's expression changed suddenly.

He stared at Liu Hongfeng, as if meeting a high mountain at the end of a dead end, looking up, the golden light on the top of the mountain was shining brightly in the darkness.

He took one last look at Lu Wan, shook his head and said, "That's all."

The moment the sword tip slipped into the scabbard, it was as if a new leaf had sprouted from the edge. The green color that had just emerged was still weak, but it dispelled the ghost aura attached to his body, making his expression completely changed, as if he had been reborn.

"You can take this." Liu Hongfeng raised his hand and threw a bag full of silver to him, "It also costs money to treat injuries."

Guan Ye took it, with a hesitant look on his face, but he heard Liu Hongfeng continue: "Go south from here, and find the Bamboo Courtyard of Duan's Tianji Gate, there is a young doctor there who will heal your wounds, maybe you will Make a prosthetic for you."

Guan Ye was startled, then bowed his head and said: "Forget it, I borrowed it, and I will pay it back in the future."

Liu Hongfeng watched as Guan Ye leaped down from the Sanxiao Tower and fell into a nearby narrow alley.

The wild dog waiting in the alley smelled the smell of blood, and followed him happily, but he turned a blind eye and just walked all the way.

Once a person finds the direction, there is no room for distraction in his eyes.

Liu Hongfeng watched his figure go away, and finally let go of Lu Wan's arm.

Just now Lu Wan was caught in Liu Hongfeng's arms, like a limp cloth bag, and experienced a contest while swinging left and right. Although he was not injured, it seemed as if he had just been beaten. He groaned, as if he had been greatly wronged.A pair of thief eyes looked around, restless.

Liu Hongfeng met his gaze, smiled slightly and said, "Old man, don't get me wrong, I have no intention of letting you go."

Lu Wan stepped back sharply, crushing a ridge tile with his heel, and the tile rolled down the slope of the roof, making a rattling sound, as if it was about to spark sparks in the dry and tense air.

Lu Wan tightened his shoulders, like a frightened bird, and asked cautiously: "You...what are you going to do?"

Liu Hongfeng took a step forward with a smile, eliminating the distance between the two: "I just want to have a heart-to-heart talk with you."

Lu Wan still wanted to retreat again, but his heels stepped on the gap, his feet were uncertain, and his heart was even more uncertain. He could only raise his head and meet the soft, gentle, but especially scorching gaze just a few feet away.

It vividly interprets what it means to hide a knife in a smile and a needle in the cotton.

It was at this time that Lu Wan felt something strange about the opponent.Liu Hongfeng's expression was calm, but his complexion was not good-looking. There was a layer of sweat on his forehead, and the blood on his lips had faded. Although his steps were steady, the sound he made from the soles of his feet was very weak.The rhythm of his chest rising and falling was faster than usual, as if his throat was blocked by a pair of invisible stones.

Lu Wan is also a martial artist. These subtle signs deceived the young and impulsive Guan Ye, but they couldn't escape a pair of sharp eyes that were well-versed in the rivers and lakes and good at observing words and deeds.

The white-haired old Jiang Hu raised the corners of his mouth and asked, "Mr. Feng, do you have unhealed injuries?"

Liu Hongfeng was not in a hurry, but just replied lightly: "To tell you the truth, I am indeed injured. But you must not let your guard down, think about it, if the tiger in the mountain is injured, wouldn't it bite someone?" It hurts more than usual."

Lu Wan: "..."

Liu Hongfeng said while smiling, his eyes formed two curved slits, but there were bursts of coldness in the slits.

The fire in Lu Wan's heart had just been ignited, but it was extinguished by this gaze.He wanted to cry, but his knees gave way, like a deflated ball, and he slumped on the eaves.

The wind blew on his wrinkled face, he frowned, drooped his eyes, and said: "Little ancestor, I don't know you at all, and I don't remember where I made friends with you. What do you want from me?" ?”

Liu Hongfeng also took a seat beside him: "I heard from the people in Sanxiaolou that you are not a regular visitor here, but three days ago, you suddenly took a large sum of money and squandered it in the casino, is this true? .”

Lu Wan was taken aback, and then replied: "I did get a windfall, so it's nothing unusual."

"Oh?" Liu Hongfeng raised an eyebrow, "May I ask where you got this windfall from?"

Lu Wan said, "I didn't steal or rob, I picked it up."

"Picked it up?" Liu Hongfeng took out a silver ingot from his pocket, and held it up to Lu Wan's eyes, "I specifically asked the waiter for one, held it in my hand and examined it carefully, the surface of the silver was covered with a layer of salt grains , it smells salty and fishy, ​​maybe it was picked up from the sea?"

When Lu Wan saw the familiar silver ingot, he panicked immediately, and even his voice trembled: "Yes, I saw a treasure chest floating on the sea, so I picked it up, can't I?"

Liu Hongfeng laughed loudly: "If there is a treasure chest in the sea, it should be the boatman who went to sea to find it first. How could it float under your noses?"

Lu Wan argued, "Because those boatmen are already dead."

Liu Hongfeng's face darkened: "The boatman at Quebeiwu was murdered and died tragically, so their treasure fell into your hands?"

Lu Wan turned pale in shock, shook his head and waved his hands and said, "No, it has nothing to do with me! I have never killed anyone!"

Liu Hongfeng looked at him: "Since you didn't kill anyone, why do you have to defend in a hurry? Aren't you afraid that evil spirits will come to claim your life?"

After finishing speaking, one pair of hands clasped Lu Wan's wrist, two fingers rested on the vital vein, exerting slight force.

"If you fell from the top of these three floors and your head fell to the ground, the people in the gambling shop would definitely think that it was a ghost who took your life."

Lu Wan turned pale with fright: "No, I... I just happened to see someone kill the boatman, so I took the opportunity to steal some money from the Quebei Pier. Anyway, everyone is dead, and the money is a waste of money, why not for the living to enjoy."

Liu Hongfeng was furious when he heard it, and his tone was also angry: "You saw someone committing a crime, not only did you not save them, you didn't even turn yourself in, you didn't ask for help, but you only wanted to steal the money from the dead?"

Lu Wan lowered his eyes and said, "Shoot? With the kung fu of my three-legged cat, even if I do it, I will die for nothing. Surrender? Didn't the official on Yingzhou Island also get killed? Should I go to God to surrender? God has ignored me for a long time, I am just an old waste, penniless, starved to death and no one cares about me, what else can I do? I just want to find a lively place and finish the rest comfortably It's just a day."

Liu Hongfeng did not answer.

He just stared blankly at Lu Jian's appearance - white hair withered, wine stains stained on his clothes, frustrated and destitute.After that finger was smashed by Yan Qianfan, the dignity of this person was also shattered into pieces. The appearance at this moment is really unbearable to watch.

After Lu Wan finished speaking, seeing that the other party didn't refute, he became more courageous, and poured out his thoughts: "You look down on me, it's not because you are young and energetic, and you think you are so powerful. You are heroic, but I have played against you at the gambling table, and I can see what kind of person you are, and when you are old and frail, you will naturally understand what I mean."

Liu Hongfeng couldn't help being startled.

He just raised his head and looked at the dark sky, the blue sky was so high and boundless that it was out of reach.Ten years ago, when he was still a child, he cried bitterly beside his mother's coffin.Today, he has grown taller and his shoulders have hardened, but compared with the distance between heaven and earth, what is his slightest growth?

The lifespan of heaven and earth is boundless. Compared with it, it is only a moment for a mortal to go from birth to death. How long can his spirit last.

Facing Lu Wan's naughty and harsh criticism, a bit of fear rose in his heart, and he suppressed back the indignation and resentment he was full of.

He sighed, let go of Lu Wan's veins, then lowered his head, resting his elbows on his knees.

After regaining his freedom, Lu Wan rubbed his wrist while observing Liu Hongfeng's expression, and said cautiously: "The murderer is masked, and I can't see clearly, even if you ask me to identify him, I didn't lie to you."

Liu Hongfeng didn't question his words, but just sighed, with a look of exhaustion on his face, and said: "It seems that the seven lives in Quebeiwu are destined to be unjust ghosts."

This time Lu Wan was stunned.

Perhaps the weight of these words was too heavy, Lu Wan was silent for a while, and said in a mosquito-like voice: "Actually, I have some eyebrows, but I'm afraid of making wild guesses and getting angry..."

Liu Hongfeng suddenly turned his gaze to him, but didn't make a sound, just staring firmly into his eyes.

Lu Wan was stared at uncomfortably, scratched his head, and said, "The man's voice, figure and appearance are very similar to your companions today."

Liu Hongfeng's heart trembled: "Who are you talking about?"

"It's the one who came to gamble with you, but has been standing by the side. When I saw him, I felt puzzled. Before this person came to Yingzhou Island, he had clearly shown his face in other gambling houses, and he was obviously better than the young master of the Yan family. You gambled a lot, why didn't you help me all the time?"

Liu Hongfeng frowned, and murmured in a low voice: "Song Yungui, Song Yungui, you are really stubborn and insist on playing with people in the applause..."

"What did you say?" Lu Wan was puzzled.

However, when he asked, the people around him had disappeared.Leaving him alone, sitting on the hard and cold dragon ridge, blowing the cold wind, staring blankly into the distance, his expression was like being in a dream.
