Three Masters' Sword

The rotten smell is like the swamp gas that fertilized the leaves mixed with the dead air in the wet coffin, rushing left and right in the closed space, becoming more pungent; the remaining things melted into juice, dripping like the saliva of a poisonous snake The ground is still falling.When the wooden part was touched by the saliva, it was immediately corroded by the acid and began to fester.

Yu Yuqing was dazed and froze in place, unable to move for a while.The old man fell down like a ball of mud, and there was only a sound of stains, the wall board under his feet was being corroded by it, and at this time he heard someone dragging the iron chain from below, thinking that someone was walking along the splint Find the way in.For some reason, he didn't want people to see him like this, and tried to hide, but when he took a step, he almost missed his foot, and stunned to step out of a hole in the floor.It turned out that the parasitic meat Gu had lost its host, and after rotting, it was extremely corrosive. In a short while, it had actually eaten through the anti-corrosion paint layer by layer, and directly rotted into the wood core.Yu Yuqing hastily held onto the top of the narrow plywood with both hands. It was a mechanism made of a whole piece of thick iron plate. He just fell from here on the top floor, and fell into the mezzanine where the thousand-faced old man was surrounded by iron chains. among.At this moment, there are more or less everywhere around, which are scattered and corroded by the meat gu, which is very disgusting; but as expected, the iron plate is as clean as new, and has not been corroded.He was desperate, and he didn't want to be seen by Yuchi and Liu Tongjun, so he pushed the steel plate hard.It's also strange, just when he fell down, he naturally pushed through the mechanism. At that time, he couldn't push it, and he couldn't even find a gap; now he just pushed hard, and the iron plate flipped up again. .He hurriedly supported his hands and turned upwards.After jumping to the top floor, the steel plate turned around and fastened tightly again.

Yu Yuqing's heart relaxed, his whole body was about to lose strength, his feet felt weak and he fell to the ground, and hurriedly called out: "Third Brother!"

But there was silence around the top floor, and the four walls that were originally illuminated by bright candles were also dimmed at this moment. Except for myself, I didn't even hear the sound of breathing.Yu Yuqing's eyes widened, he could hardly see in the dark environment, only the breath of death and defeat came to his face.He called out again: "Senior Brother Bo?How long has passed?Did they escape, were they captured, or were they plotted against like themselves?

He stretched out his hands and fumbled around, and what he touched was like mud and dead leaves.And more emptiness, fear and hesitation are more entangled in my heart, as if I am in a quagmire, no matter how I struggle, I am just sinking into a deeper and bottomless place.

He couldn't use his strength at all, but the numbness in his heart was like maggots attached to the bone. The more he wanted to stimulate his true energy, the more he felt that the gluttonous meat gu was entrenched and drilled into the meridians in the direction guided by his breath. At that moment, the pain was as painful as piercing pain, and he fell to the ground, only to feel his body sank into the mire, and even his mouth and nose were congested with the weird voodoo, gradually he couldn't tell who was himself, as if he wanted to be like that strange man with thousands of faces Generally, I am sucked dry by this thing and hang it on the wall.Yu Yuqing was panic-stricken, with countless thoughts running through his mind, but none of them could be grasped. Remember, "...Third brother," he heard himself shouting when he realized it, his voice seemed to be trying to grasp the last one in vain. The life-saving straw, "Third Brother!...Third Brother, where are you? Where did you go...Don't leave me..."

The familiar fear struck me, as if I had returned to my childhood, when I was a follower, but I was still a child, and I lost Wang Qiao, who was always inseparable, on the way to pilgrimage, and I didn't know where to go Xun, sat on the ground crying in panic.The Wang family soon found out that their youngest son was missing, and they came to question the inexperienced children one by one, and sent servants to search for them all over the mountains and plains.But he didn't have a clue until the next day. In the evening, Wang Qiao came back by himself. He turned back from the side gable wall, but he didn't see the adults who were like ants on the hot pot. Instead, he saw the adults kneeling at the foot of his bed. On the side, curled up into a small ball, Yu Yuqing whose face was red and peeling from crying.

At that time, little Ah Qing opened her eyes swollen from crying, and found herself lying on the third young master's bed, and Wang Qiao, whom the adults had never seen, was sitting on the edge of the bed with a straw pipe in her mouth.He clearly caused a catastrophe, but he didn't seem to care, hanging a straw cricket on Ah Qing's head, but staring at the sky at the corner between the window pane and the eaves, dazed.

He remembered that such a small self must have looked at the third brother for a long time, for fear that he would disappear suddenly and leave him alone; Squeeze slowly through such a narrow window frame.The birds also came a few times, but they flew away again; the third brother liked birds, and crickets dangled above Xiao Ah Qing's head, but Xiao Ah Qing also liked birds.

None of them found anyone, until the little child suddenly felt a very sad panic, as if stretching out his hand to meet the reflection in the water, as if the young master sitting in front of him was just a shadow, and even if he chased this phantom, stretched out If the shot reaches the limit, or the whole body falls into the water, the shadow will be shattered, and I still can't catch anything.The sense of emptiness that was indescribable at that age hit him hard, and he suddenly burst into tears for no reason.

Only then did Wang Qiao startle from his stupefaction, turned to look at Ah Qing, and wiped his tears with his hands in a panic: "Why are you crying again! Well, Ah Qing's good face is going to die from crying, I can't cry any more Already!"

Little Ah Qing wailed and said, "Young master doesn't want me anymore!"

"I didn't, I didn't, didn't I come back?" The young boy also panicked, waving the cricket in his hand, "Here, this is for you!"

The child dropped the cricket on the ground.

"I don't want this, I only want you, I only want third brother!..." Then he burst into tears.

The third young master knew that if he continued to cry, he would attract the adults. At that time, he would be punished with flesh and blood, so he hurriedly said: "Then Ah Qing, don't cry, don't cry! If you cry again, your face will be so ugly if you cry, third brother don't want it!" is you!"

The little boy fell silent immediately, wiped his red and swollen eyes with both hands, held back his tears, bit his lips with his teeth, and said with difficulty, "...Ah Qing, don't cry...don't cry!"

Wang Qiao was not much older at that time, but thought Qing'er was so good-looking and funny, and said with a smile, "That's right!" while handing over the grass root he was chewing on. "Don't bite your lip, you'll turn into a rabbit if you bite your lip. Just bite this!"

Ah Qing slightly opened her tender red lips biting a tooth mark, sucked the grass root that the third brother had picked up in her mouth, and sucked it; she opened her eyes slightly, and the tear stains were put away, leaving a star-like crystal in her eyes bright colors.

"Sweet!"

He didn't know why he thought of such a long and irrelevant thing at this time; but when he thought of it, the sweetness in the grass roots was still turning up from under the tongue coating, as if it had been carefully preserved until today.

Of course, the ending of the story is actually not so happy. It is natural for the third young master to be scolded, but it is more that the mistress hugged her and carefully checked back and forth to confirm that there is not even a bump on her body. And still darling and crying for a long time, no family law is mentioned anymore.But Yu Yuqing, who was a little older at that time, was punished for not being optimistic about the young master, and was fined to kneel in the ancestral hall.Later, I knelt a lot, and a layer of calluses formed on my knees; the scab grew and fell off, fell and grew again, and became a habit, and the pain stopped; when the green onion bones were pulled out, he was polished according to the rules It became a young master's sword, but the young master did not grow into a sword wielder.Yu Yuqing's panic returned: the young master doesn't use the sword anymore, does he still want Ah Qing?If he doesn't want it, then where should I go?

He gradually stopped twitching and struggling, and felt that he was no longer sinking, like a dead leaf floating on the mud.The zhenqi in the body that does not belong to him flows retrogradely, scurrying around the meridians, the pain becomes more severe and there is no way to relieve it, and gradually half of the body cannot move.Yu Yuqing had nowhere to call for help, and there was no one around him to consult with, the more he thought about it, the more afraid he became, and he thought that this old man had no good intentions, no matter how you look at it, the fleshy Ganoderma lucidum is also an evil poisonous thing, planted in the heart, wait for it to grow into it From the bottom of my heart, am I afraid that I will end up like that man with thousands of faces?How could it be...?How can that be done!

Yu Yuqing reached into his bosom with the half of his arm that was still able to move, and first touched Xue San's book, which was also pierced through his chest by Liu Tongjun's hidden arrow from the flute and nailed to his chest. Soaked in fresh blood, and then joined together by that weird ganoderma lucidum, the pages of the book were not torn, but instead caused a dull pain in the internal organs.Yu Yuqing then let go of his hand, groped in his inner pocket, and found that a hand mirror was still there.As a person who pays so much attention to appearance, he naturally carries a hand mirror with him.At this moment, with the last ray of strength in his hand, he smashed the mirror to the ground.

The mirror shattered, and the sharp edges cut through the palm of my hand.Yu Yuqing didn't care so much, picked up the edge, and moved it to his heart, trying to dig out the fleshy Ganoderma lucidum.But he was exhausted, and he could only move with one hand, so it seemed extremely difficult. He tried his best to lean forward. It just so happened that the moonlight was rising at this moment, and the subtle light penetrated through the gap, just reflected on the mirror surface, vaguely reflecting himself look like.

He stroked his face, and the person in the mirror stroked his face too.

He opened his mouth, and the man in the mirror opened his mouth too.

Her lips trembled and her tendons twitched, which was naturally the same.

Yu Yuqing looked at the reflection in the mirror in disbelief, his mind was shaken under the shock, and he couldn't wait to come back to his senses, he could only hear his heart-piercing cry in his ears:

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

When the hissing sound just started, all the family members still looked up and shouted: "Who is still on the top floor?" Just as they were about to grab it, the sound gradually shook their hearts, as if a thousand catties of boulders were crushing them Falling on the top of the head, even the leaders of these clans with extraordinary cultivation bases have to spend all their energy and distractions to resist the scream that shakes the soul, and the disciples who are still incompetent cover their ears in vain, and can only lie on the ground, excruciating pain, It almost felt like a golden needle pierced through the eardrum and pierced into the brain.Li Yu said in a loud voice: "Isn't this 'Shuilongyin'!" Several family members also thought so, thinking it was someone in the clan.It's just that the internal force is surging, whistling continuously, like an endless sea, it seems to have been cultivated for a hundred years, but they can't think of anyone in the family who has reached such a state of internal force.

But Wang Qiao heard the sound, suffocated in shock, and blurted out: "It's Ah Qing!" Turning around, he wanted to go upstairs again; but at this time, the stairs were completely soaked in the residual liquid of the strange poison, and he could not breathe easily. It rotted into a puddle at the slightest touch, and there was nowhere to rely on it to go up.With just such a quick effort, Bai Zi's movement was as fast as lightning, and he had already bullied him. He pulled out the long sword that had been nailed into the wall before, and slammed it in front of him, blocking Wang Qiao's neck. .

Almost at the same time, Mu Mujin grabbed Yuchi Qijue's sword and took Wang Qiao's place.Yuchi Qijue committed the danger alone, but he didn't rely on his strength, his sword technique is simple but refined, his use seems ordinary, but it is extremely wonderful.Mu Jin was secretly frightened, if he really calmed down, he might show defeat if he succeeds in a hundred moves.Wang Qiao saw that the two of them were entangled together, and Yuchi Qijue had no help, so he continued to turn around and try to climb back to the top floor; where the family members allowed him, thinking that he was going to get there first, Wang Yehai gave him a wink, and Liu Qikun let him go Buckle the three concealed chess pieces, and hit Wang Qiao's knees and elbows with precision in a series of snaps.Who would have expected that there would suddenly be a mountain of solid meat like an iron tower in front of him, and the three hidden weapons that puffed into his round belly were none other than Pang Zizhong.As soon as the fat man inhaled, the three hidden weapons were all sucked into the flesh.He pushed the fat forward, and then exhaled violently, the pawn was bounced back fluffy, although the aim was not accurate enough, but the force was stronger than when it was hit.Liu Qikun said angrily: "Pang Zizhong, it's against you!" The fat man pretended to be stupid and said: "Hey, what's the matter, Mr. Liu, you hit me first? Oh, it hurt my stomach. Eat too much, don't spit it out and stain your shoe uppers."

Yuchi Qijue didn't love to fight. Seeing Wang Qiao turned to leave, he also turned around, swayed away from the young master of the Bo family, followed his body around, and was already ahead of Wang Qiao.Like a white ghost, it went upstairs lightly.

I don't know if he recognized Wang Qiao, but Wang Qiao recognized him—it's too hard to forget such a man of different appearances; let alone in that desperate situation, above the flood , Wang Qiao's appearance and deeds of this judge are all vivid in his memory, as if it was yesterday.The girl named 姽er who he rescued but died for him, now he can't bear to think about it anymore, he just wants to seal up this memory together, but who would have thought that he would not want to be with this "little uncle" Goodbye here, what a twist.He is very good at lightening his body, and he was able to carry two people back and forth freely in the huge waves at that time, of course Wang Qiao knew it.Seeing that he was about to go upstairs, he didn't have time to think about it, he just felt that he was going to hurt Ah Qing, but he didn't know much about martial arts, so he reached for his ankle clumsily, how could he catch it?

Yuchi Qijue also vaguely remembered Wang Qiao's face, and only knew his surname was Zhang. Seeing him appearing on the twelfth floor this time, he thought to himself that the person who rescued Xie'er was definitely not a countryman. The person who targeted me at Dan Muya, but he didn't even guess that he was Wang Qiao himself.He also paid more attention, if he saw Wang Qiao normally, he would be able to tell with a single glance that this is a person who does not know martial arts at all, but now he dare not underestimate the enemy, because he used to show his strength by flying a sword earlier, and just personally The horizontal sword came to block.Thanks to Wang Qiao's temperament of underestimating everything and being immovable, he didn't try out the depth several times, but felt even more strange; until this time, Wang Qiao's concern was chaotic, and he stretched out his hand to reveal the root cause. Extremely childish, almost laughed at the Fang family.Yuchi Qijue let out a soft snort, and kicked him backwards, the wind was blowing everywhere, and he was kicked somersaulting.

This somersault was too ugly, and it violated the profound knowledge of the twelve schools of martial arts, so everyone shook their heads secretly in their hearts.Wang Qiao didn't take it seriously, but was anxious in his heart, wondering what could be done to prevent him from going upstairs?

Yuchi Qijue had just leaped onto the floor, the top was pitch black, and it was difficult to see; then he realized that the wooden board under his feet was not strong at all, and a large piece of it was shattered when he stepped on it lightly, so the strength under his feet was suspended, and he knew that the top was probably impossible Waiting for a while, when I looked around, I didn't see any movement, so I touched my arms and lit the fire.Just after the sparks came on, I suddenly felt a gust of wind blowing my head down, and the fire was suddenly extinguished.Just as he was about to react, the wind seemed to be alive and weighed a thousand catties, and it yanked towards him.He couldn't hang on his feet, so he had to step on the ground to change his strength. The floor slammed into pieces like an old man, and he fell to the side of Wang Qiao, so dispirited and depressed.At this time, the black sap that had been transformed by the evil Gu also seeped into this layer bit by bit along the broken tiles and ruins, together with the stench.

This time even the family members were completely taken aback, they hurried to check it out, ignoring Wang Qiao and Yuchi.Liu Tongjun rushed over to help Yuchi Qijue up, but Bai Zi vigorously shook off Fairy Qin, reached out and grabbed Wang Qiao's collar and shouted: "You did it just now?"

Wang Qiao didn't know why, so he replied in a daze, "What?"

Yuchi Qijue is not a person who is good at verbal communication, so he immediately threw away his collar, turned around and planned to go upstairs to find out.Not only him, but other people also discovered the strong corrosiveness of the black juice, and they all started to get angry, rushing to go upstairs to see it, and it was a mess for a while.Pang Zizhong approached him and said, "Let's hurry up!" Wang Qiao shook his head and said, "Ah Qing is still on top!" Where did Qiao go to listen to what he had to say? In his desperation, he didn't want to think too much, and suddenly shouted: "——here I am!"

Everyone's footsteps stopped.Pang Zizhong wanted to gag him, but it was too late.

Wang Qiao stepped back carefully step by step, touching the edge of the outer railing above the ninth floor.Taking advantage of the chaos just now, he has already moved to the open outer edge of this floor.The night wind in the mountains is hunting, and the moonlight is pure and white, falling in the rails, and the black silhouettes are poured out horizontally and vertically.Outside and under the eaves of the building, torches are raised together, and the voices of people are loud, illuminating this tall building like a city that never sleeps.

"You don't need to go up, the strange thing on the wall suddenly melted somehow, eroding everything else." He said through the night wind, and the wind scattered his voice all over the mountains, making this noisy The valley suddenly fell silent; "But don't you want this?"

Wang Qiao took a breath, looked back at the pair of eyes that were staring at him, and slowly spread his palms down like the golden relics, and then turned his palms forward, revealing the word "upright" , repeating: "Feng Wen is with me!"
