Chapter 6 Chapter 6: The Night of Murder in the Deep Mountain

Big and small Luotian is located between two strange peaks.The strange peak in Zhuangbei is called Xiaoluo Mountain.The mountain is about forty miles away from Jiande County to the west. The name of the villa is big and small Luotian, because of this. But all the children here don't know where they are, they only know that the two peaks are called Daluo Mountain and Xiaoluo Mountain. Coach Zhou glanced at the two of them, and said again: This is the first time you have left the village.The unknown terrain on the mountain is a good opportunity to train you to deal with unfamiliar environments, and it is also an opportunity to test your cooperation with strangers.

There are eight people who protect the yellow flag. No one knows how to protect and assign them. What I can tell you is that the eight people are all well-known masters in the Jianghu. Either you will die or they will die. Whoever fails will go to hell. It is dusk now, and on the second watch, you set off with the person who led the way out of the village.If you can't retrieve the yellow flag after dawn, the two of you will commit suicide at the gate of the village. Xin Wenzhao's heart was beating wildly. Pressing his fear, he leaned over and asked, "Excuse me, teacher, can disciples carry weapons and hidden weapons?"

Of course you can bring it, do you think it is going to hide and seek? The disciple hoped to leave after dark. No, back down!Teacher Zhou said firmly. The two left the hall, Xin Wenzhao's heart moved, and he said to Miss Yu Xiaoqiu who was walking behind: "Miss Yu, let's discuss it first." The middle-aged woman in strong clothes scolded: Shut up!Discussion is not allowed, the two of you are like temporary companions, people who are forced to join forces when they suddenly meet a powerful enemy, there is no time for you to discuss. The stout middle-aged man who brought him also said: Unless your skin is itchy, you just go away obediently.

He dared not disobey, but obediently shut up. Before he entered Xiaoluotian, his nature was like a fire, stubborn, proud, arrogant, and he would rather give up than surrender. But in the past three years, he seemed to have changed his face and changed himself. Under the threat of the whip and death, he knew how to submit to it, how to hide the secret in his heart, and how to keep himself alive. Stay alive, this is the only reason to live. He quietly returned to the room.Liang Zhihao asked with concern: Wen Zhao, your face is so pale, is there something wrong with telling you to go? In this place, no one wants to make friends who love him. The reason is not that he has no time to talk, but because he is afraid of competing in the future. If the other party is a close friend, it will definitely affect his emotions. The slightest emotional fluctuation is enough to make him Get into a crisis and lose your life.

Therefore, although Xin Wenzhao and Liang Zhihao lived together for three years, they never established a deep friendship. Liang Zhihao is not as strong as him, homesick and crazy, often wakes up from nightmares crying, hugging the pillow and calling his father and mother, which makes people's nose sore.He is a sentimental person, desperately looking forward to gaining Wen Zhao's friendship, and looking for a close friend to confide in the pain in his heart. But the strong Wen Zhao was forced to lock his heart, build a strong fortress to resist guarding, and push away the thoughts of longing for friendship and comfort as far as possible.

He is only a twelve-year-old boy, why doesn't he yearn to make like-minded friends? But rationality told him that he couldn't do that, so he could only throw away the idea of ​​making friends, as far away as possible, the farther the better. He shook his head at Liang Zhihao and smiled wryly, while changing into his night clothes, he said, "I'm going out tonight, to Mount Xiaoluo." Liang Zhihao was startled, and said in surprise: You mean, you were sent out of the village? Yes, I was the first to be sent out of Zhuang. Something important? He took out the golden emerald longevity lock hanging on his neck from his bosom, stuffed it into Liang Zhihao's hands, and said restrainedly: Zhihao, if I don't come back and you can get out alive in the future, please put this longevity lock Hanging under the holy statue of Song Zhongwu Temple in Zhuxian Town, Xiangfu County, Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan Province, I am grateful.

He seemed to be leaving things behind, Liang Zhihao was startled, and said anxiously: Wen Zhao He put on the hidden weapon pouch, smiled faintly, waved his hand and said: Please don't ask too much. Liang Zhihao sighed sadly, and said sadly: Alright!I wish I could live up to my trust.But I don't know if I can survive the day of getting out alive. Wen Zhao felt miserable, and couldn't help hugging the other party. Liang Zhihao also hugged him excitedly, wept bitterly, and couldn't help muttering: We are so pitiful, we are still children, we Wen Zhao couldn't help breathing in, tears streaming down his cheeks.

Silent grief hurts the most, and he should have no qualms about crying. After a long time, he swallowed the tears that flowed into the corner of his mouth, salty.He didn't want to spit it out but swallowed it, and said in a trembling voice: Zhihao, bless me!I also wish you well. When are you leaving?Liang Zhihao asked tremblingly. Second watch. Then you have to take care of yourself. Yes, I have to take care of myself.he said soberly. A life-and-death decision is about to take place, how could he not restrain himself from settling his mind to recharge his batteries? Holding the sword in one hand, he lay down with his clothes on, only feeling his heart beating up and down, and he could have a good rest.

His palms were cold, full of sweat, his body shivered from time to time, his spine felt cold, his mouth was dry, and his neck felt as if he was being strangled. After a long time, he suddenly slapped himself twice, stood up, took a deep breath, and said bitterly: How did this happen?It collapsed before going out. Xin Wenzhao!Why don't you want to open some?You have no choice but to survive, and you must pull yourself together. He jumped out of the bed, drew his sword out of its sheath, and amidst the howling of the sword, he sprinted frantically at the imaginary enemy at the door. Sword in hand, he steadied himself.

Liang Zhihao got up in surprise, turned on the light, and asked in surprise: Wen Zhao, what's the matter? He put the sword back into its sheath, took the teapot from the tea table, poured out a glass of water, smiled slightly, stretched out his arms and held the tea to the lamp, and asked: Look, am I stable enough? The tea in the cup is only slightly moving, but it is definitely not formed by the shaking of the wrist. Liang Zhihao nodded and said: Okay, steady, I have a hunch that you will come back successfully. Thank you and I will definitely be back.he said firmly. In the middle of the second, Zhou Jiaotou and another big man led the two of them outside the gate of the village, and said in a sharp tone: "You two are the most talented people in art among the young children of this village, male and female.Today you are sent out to the village for the first time. This is the most glorious and proud thing in your life.

In the past, you only had to fight against your companions. Since you have the strongest savvy and the highest art, it is only natural that you have never missed a shot. Tonight, you are fighting to the death with the people outside. There are people outside the people, and there is a sky beyond the sky. Any one of them is smarter than you. The experience and cultivation level are beyond the reach of the two of you.You and her can only rely on wit and mortal determination to fight for a chance of survival. Life and death are in one fell swoop, so you can do it yourself. Also, you can only move around in Xiaoluoshan, and if you leave Xiaoluoshan, you will die without a place to bury yourself. You must not turn to the muddled thoughts of escaping.It's getting late, let's go! Thank you for your care.Xin Wenzhao clasped his fists together. When the coach was gone, he said to Yu Xiaoqiu: Let's go, and discuss while walking. Yu Xiaoqiu followed behind him, and asked fearfully, "Brother Xin, I'm afraid, what should we do?" oh!Don't be afraid, death is life, wealth is in the sky.You must have confidence, or you will die!Nothing to be afraid of.he said calmly. In fact, he was extremely panicked. He was a big man now, although he was still a boy of thirteen, and the situation did not allow him to be timid.If he messed up, wouldn't Ms. Yu be even more panicked? The situation is pressing. In front of girls, he must puff his chest out and show a manly spirit. In adversity, a person with self-respect will never refuse a weak girl's help. When life and death are at stake, it is even more necessary to go all out. Brother Xin, who are those eight flag guards?Yu Xiaoqiu asked in a low voice. Who knows?I'm feeling suspicious! Could it be our brothers and sisters? Coach Zhou said that he is a master and celebrity in the world. Yu Xiaoqiu sighed and said angrily: It is unfair to use this method to train us. There is no fairness here, and there is no fairness in the world.For the life and death of you and me, we have no time to think about all the principles other than life and death.There is not much time, and we must solve the current difficulties. Right and wrong, benevolence and righteousness are the mountains beyond the mountains, and the sky beyond the sky. No matter who the flag guards are, we have no choice, either they die or we live.Miss Yu, have you ever practiced the combination of two swords? Practiced, quite successful. Who is your sword instructor? The surname is Luo, and his attainments are indeed superb. The instructor is extremely serious, and he teaches all his money without hiding anything. oh!He once coached another group of our team, and he is indeed an admirable good coach.But we can't use his combined swordsmanship tonight, it is the so-called authentic swordsmanship that is well-behaved. you mean Tonight is night, but the opponent is an experienced martial arts master in the rivers and lakes. The terrain on the mountain is uneven, and the authentic combined swordsmanship cannot exert its power. Therefore, we must change our strategy. How to change? You use positive, I use odd.When encountering the enemy, on the surface, the two swords are combined to meet the enemy, but I change the way of the sword when I see the opportunity, and take the initiative to attack at any time. You still use the normal combined swordsmanship to deal with it.As long as you don't panic, I may be able to control the situation.oh!What hidden weapon did you use tonight? Meridian nails, but the nails are not poisoned. good!I have practiced this kind of hidden weapon. I use money darts and flying knives.Remember, if the enemy is too strong, we don't have to worry about martial arts rules. We are not people in the martial arts world, we are just poor people who are forced to kill for our lives.let's go!There is not much time, let's go around from the back mountain. Not from the side.Yu Xiaoqiu asked in surprise: Since there is not much time limit, wouldn't it be a waste of time to go back to the mountain? If you are the person who guards the flag, and you know that the person who captures the flag will come out from the big and small Luotian, and the time limit is known to be short, then where should you defend. Of course from the front That's right, go far and get closer.Walk! Big and small Luotian are in the northwest corner of Xiaoluo Mountain. The two walked around from the eastern foot of the mountain to the south of the mountain, and then climbed up from the oblique angle, carefully exploring section by section. The sound of the pines is deafening, the bitter autumn wind blows the branches and leaves, and the dead grass shakes. The first-quarter crescent moon has hung on the mountaintop in the southwest, and it is getting late. The wind gave them a lot of convenience, and could cover up the sound of running away, but it also brought them a lot of trouble. It seemed that there were many people moving nearby, and the branches of the trees shook like ghosts, rushing at them with teeth and claws. If both of them had not undergone three years of rigorous training, they would have retreated in fright. A thirteen-year-old child was ordered to kill and capture the flag at midnight! There is still a stone's throw away from the top of the mountain, and there is no trace of enemies along the way, and everything is safe and sound. The two were more careful, snaking and climbing up. Wen Zhao was in front, and when he reached about three feet, he covered his body, and Yu Xiaoqiu followed quietly behind. The two lay down to scout for a while, Wen Zhao climbed up alone again, covered by Yu Xiaoqiu, ready to launch hidden weapons at any time. Finally, they came to a prominent position behind the peak of the mountain with scattered grass and small trees. Above a small pine tree in the thatched lawn, a bamboo pole was inserted straight, and above it was indeed a yellow flag, fluttering in the wind, with a sound of hunting. It was about thirty steps away from the place where the two lay down. The two of them were so nervous that their palms were sweating, goosebumps appeared all over their bodies, their muscles were stiff, their throats were dry and tight, a shiver ran through their bodies, and they felt a little flustered. The reason is that they don't know where someone is, and they know that they have reached a critical moment of life and death. Invisible dangers are all around, and unexpected ambush is about to happen. Facing the target that determines life and death, even adults who have been around for a long time will feel nervous. I'm going to take down the yellow flag.Yu Xiaoqiu said in a low voice. He made a gesture and said again: "Cover me." Wen Zhao quickly grabbed her, and whispered in his ear: No, it's dangerous! no one!Coach Zhou frightened us because he wanted to test our courage, and no one defended us at all.Yu Xiaoqiu made up his mind and said. I don't want to take any chances. and you You wait a minute, I'll come when I go to the back.After he finished speaking quietly, he stepped back silently. Soon, he returned to the original place with half a straw man beside him, and said in a low voice: "Come with me, don't follow too closely, prepare a hidden weapon." Holding the straw man in his hand, he crawled forward slowly. The straw man is only two feet tall, like a person crawling with his hands. near. twenty steps fifteen steps A low growl came from the thatched grass next to the dwarf pine, a black shadow rose up, and flew towards it like a cheetah. Wen Zhao lost the straw man first, and rolled quickly to the side, shouting and beating while rolling!The throwing knife shot out while rolling, and it pierced into the lower abdomen of the approaching black shadow with great accuracy. The black shadow fell to the place where the straw man fell, and suddenly his body shook when he landed on one foot, as if struck by lightning, he hummed, turned over and fell down. At the same moment, two black shadows approached from left to right, with unsurpassed speed, they pounced on the rolling Xin Wenzhao, their swords reflected the moon and turned into a rainbow. The fourth black shadow shot close to the ground, the tiger's head hook swung swiftly, and pounced on Yu Xiaoqiu who jumped up. Yu Xiaoqiu jumped up at the moment when the two black shadows rushed towards Wen Zhao at the same time, raised his left hand, the Meridian Nail flew through the air, and quickly drew his sword with his right hand to intercept the black shadow on the right. Divide the two at the same time, naturally distracted, not in time to find the last black shadow that was shot down to the ground, and by the time he realized something was wrong, it was too late. The meridian nail hit the black shadow on the left, but the black shadow was still rushing forward. Zheng!Yu Xiaoqiu's sword was pushed out of the door by the shadow on the right. Wen Zhao jumped up in time, and at the moment of jumping up, the sword was unsheathed at the same time, jumped up, drew the sword, and rushed forward, and the move was completed in one go, extremely fast. With a flash of the sword rainbow, the black shadow who was leaning towards Yu Xiaoqiu's sword was waiting for the opportunity to strike. Wen Zhao didn't expect to come so fast, he felt a chill down his spine, his real strength suddenly lost, the sword he just released paused, and he let out a hum , when the upper body straightened out, it was on the verge of falling. The black shadow hit by the meridian nail just couldn't hold back, bang!With a sound, the two collided into a ball and fell down at the same time. At this moment, the fourth black shadow's tiger-headed hook hooked Yu Xiaoqiu's right thigh, the point of the hook touched the meat, and if only a short pass, Yu Xiaoqiu's right leg would be crippled even if he didn't die. At the same moment, Wen Zhao turned into a gust of wind, and under a whirling, with a single finger of the long sword, he accurately cut off the right hand of the black shadow holding the hook, and the tiger's head hook lost its strength and fell. Hey, Yu Xiaoqiu screamed and fell to the ground. Wen Zhao bullied violently, kicking the victim's genitals. Ah, the man with the severed hand flew on his back, only yelling halfway. Wen Zhaohun forgot everything and stood there in a daze. This was an irrational and brutal fight that had no spare time. It happened and ended quickly. Both sides were fighting with all their strength. A moment of contact solved a fierce fight that was originally very different from good to bad. Naturally, Wen Zhao and Yu Xiaoqiu were at a disadvantage. Relying on their agility and wit, they recovered the disadvantage and won the victory. Wen Zhao broke out in a cold sweat. When the enemy appeared, all the fear and timidity he had felt before were swept away. He succeeded, and Yu Xiaoqiu lived up to expectations, and the two cooperated quite satisfactorily.All four of the opponents collapsed, and the two survivors were moaning as they were dying, their hands and feet still struggling. Yu Xiaoqiu also fell to the ground with a broken leg, and slowly sat up holding back the pain. Only Xin Wenzhao was able to stand upright without any injuries. The enemies were all down, bloody and bloody.Fear returned to him, and he felt nauseous. This was the first time he had killed someone, and he didn't feel happy, but felt boundless fear. Recalling the thrilling scene of life and death just now, he shuddered, and stared at the lying person in a daze, with chills. He forgot his companion Yu Xiaoqiu, and seemed to be possessed by a demon, sweating and trembling all over his body. Yu Xiaoqiu was sober, endured the pain and shouted: Go get the yellow flag! He was fascinated and instinctively fell down. Go get the yellow flag.Yu Xiaoqiu urged him. He came fully awake and said: No, there are four more. me What happened to you?He climbed up quickly, took a breath and said again: Oh!You got hurt, oops! Of course it's bad, Xiao Luotian doesn't need disabled people, and won't take in disabled people. If the injury is serious or a hand is broken, it means death. He smelled the breath of death, grabbed Xiaoqiu and asked, "Where did you hurt?"explain. Legs, flesh and blood injuries, it doesn't matter. Thank goodness!he said with relief. Then he pressed Xiaoqiu down and said: I will bind your wound for you. The two of them are still young, and after three years of dizzying and horribly rigorous training, how do they have time to think about the relationship between a man and a woman?He immediately tore off Xiao Qiu's trousers, took off his belt and expertly wrapped Xiao Qiu's wound. Xiaoqiu didn't refuse, and let her be manipulated. The girl matured earlier than the boy, turned to Gu Gu with a blushing face, and murmured: You should take the flag first, leave me alone. After wrapping up the wound, he whispered: God bless, your leg is fine, cover me, I will go to fetch the flag.After finishing speaking, he quickly climbed towards the dwarf pine. Yu Xiaoqiu also followed with his injured leg, holding three meridian nails in his left hand, ready to strike at any time. The bamboo pole was tied to the dwarf pine, and he broke the bamboo pole with his long body, and took off the yellow flag on the pole. He couldn't help being startled, and shouted in a low voice: "Oh no!"Bitter too! Yu Xiaoqiu followed and asked urgently, "Wen Zhao, what's the matter?" He hesitated to speak, and finally said: Nothing, ready to go.After finishing speaking, the yellow flag was rolled up and fastened on the belt, and he said: Let's go east first, I will help you, be careful. east?Why not go straight down?Xiaoqiu asked puzzledly. Please don't ask, just go.He answered absentmindedly, and kept searching his surroundings with his eyes. we can go back the same way You look left, I look right, pay attention to the yellow flag. Yellow flag?Isn't the yellow flag on you? There is another yellow flag. What?Xiaoqiu asked in surprise. No time to say more, our time is running out. The two stopped talking, and walked eastward cautiously and began to descend the mountain. Soon, after going around a ridge, you can already see the wind lamp under the Zhuangzhong Building. When we got down to the middle of the mountain, Xin Wenzhao said irritably: Let's turn north, it's almost dawn, if we can't find that yellow flag, we can't survive. Wen Zhao, I don't understand your words?Yu Xiaoqiu said anxiously. After dawn, you will understand.he answered uneasily. After walking for more than a mile, Xiaoqiu suddenly called out: Look!On the top of the hill on the left. The new moon has already descended to the west mountain, the sky is full of stars, and the roof is draped through the sky, so you can still find the scenery 50 or 60 paces away. There is indeed a yellow flag flying on the top of a bamboo pole. He breathed a sigh of relief, smiled wryly and said: I hope it is this yellow flag, we only have this one chance, the weather is getting late, time is not up to me. I really don't understand There are four martial arts masters guarding the flag, you should understand.This time we must go all out to grab the flag, don't need to cover up, let's go! The two walked forward supporting each other, about twenty steps apart, suddenly there was a cold snort from above, and someone sternly shouted: Back off, don't get close before dawn. Wen Zhao signaled Xiao Qiu to keep quiet, and then responded loudly: Please help, Xiao Ke's companion is injured and needs help urgently snort!trick. really please This old man has a heart of stone, even if your companion is about to die, it has nothing to do with me, step back! Wen Zhao intentionally missed his foot, and suddenly slammed his palm on Xiao Qiu's wound. Xiaoqiu screamed involuntarily and almost slipped and fell. The girl's exclamation surprised the people above, saying: Hey!Is it a woman?Say, who are you? We are brother and sister, I am twelve years old and my sister is eleven years old.Wen Zhao answered loudly. It turned out to be children, why did you come to the mountain in the middle of the night? We were chased to nowhere by people from the other side of the mountain. We have been hiding on the mountain for two days. We are hungry and thirsty. Please help us. My sister’s leg bone is broken. After a long time, the person above said: Okay!I'll go down and have a look, but I'm not allowed to come up. A dark shadow walked down.Wen Zhao whispered to Xiao Qiu: Remember, don't shoot this man in the vitals, lest you feel uneasy.When he approaches, you should scream at the same time when you nail. That's good, hope I don't miss my mark.Xiao Qiu replied, secretly preparing to stop. The black shadow approached ten feet away, Xiaoqiu screamed, and Ziwu Nail suddenly exploded. Wen Zhao flew upwards without hesitation, and his castration was extremely severe. Ouch, the black shadow yelled, fell down, rolled down, and ruined himself with a single thought of kindness, really a good person can't do it. Three black shadows appeared above, and Wen Zhao was within three feet. With a loud shout, the throwing knives flew out continuously, and he charged forward with his sword. It's a pity that the opponent was very vigilant, squatting down almost at the same time, two of the three throwing knives missed, and only the knife in the shadow, which was a little slower for an instant, rolled down. At the same moment, Wen Zhao felt a shock in his left arm, and a sharp weapon brushed past him. Regardless of the pain, he rushed to the top of the slope, the sword gasped, and the two swords fired at the same time. A moment of life and death, no mercy.He is short in stature and located on a downhill. He was originally at a disadvantage, but his shortness took advantage of him. Fighting with weapons, others have little strength and little power, so they can't take advantage of it, so they must rely on hidden weapons.The sword's edge was about to reach his body, he turned around and fell down, escaped from the sharp point of the two swords by a hair. At the same moment, Xiaoqiu below shouted in time: Take the hidden weapon! And the moment he fell to the ground, the throwing knife had already been fired.Xiaoqiu's bluff attracted the attention of the enemy, and the cooperation was just right. He was not greedy, he threw his knife at the person on the left, swung the sword in his hand, and greeted the rushing black figure on the right with both feet. bang bang!Both shadows fell down. Wen Zhao couldn't get up either, the wound on his side made him go numb. Xiaoqiu arrived and shouted urgently: "Wen Zhao, you I was hurt. God!you The injury is not serious, but the ribs are slightly bruised, cut by a lancet, go get the yellow flag quickly. The darkness before dawn disappeared, and the two of them reached the foot of the mountain by helping each other. Dongfang turned pale. They were already standing outside the closed gate, and the police post above the gate refused to let them in. They had to wait for dawn to be picked up by Coach Zhou. Although the two said that they were seriously injured, the police still ignored them.
