Chapter 72 The first time the boy met Jianghu Road(1/2)
The Milky Way flows in the night sky.
Under the night, the remote and barren hills and villages are old. Although there are not many houses and courtyards, traces of human activities can be seen everywhere. It is obvious that the villagers have lived here for a long time. A temple on the hillside is obviously newly built.
Things like red tiles and yellow walls are colors that are not easy to see in this remote mountain village.
At midnight, a figure staggered out of the mountain forest and walked all the way towards the temple. His steps were weak and weak. While walking, he fell in the thatch on the hillside, and then got up again.
Move forward quietly.
This is a young man who is half-stained with blood and dressed in rags. The straw sandals under his feet are worn out, and his hair scabbed by blood is as messy as wormwood. There is not much sparkle in his eyes. It seems to be the same as those seen everywhere in the countryside and mountains.
There is not much difference between the villagers. The only difference is that there is a broken knife hanging on his waist. Although the knife is old and worn, it is obviously a warrior's knife used to chop and kill people.
The young man quietly approached the temple, his steps and figure becoming cautious. He groped outside the courtyard wall for a moment, and then quietly climbed in.
The world was in chaos, and the temples were not completely unguarded. They were just accustomed to dealing with the easy-to-handle villagers. The monks who were keeping watch at night had already taken a nap under the eaves. The young man groped his way over, hesitated for a moment, and then rushed forward.
superior!
The old knife cut towards the monk's neck. The young man used all his strength to hold the monk's mouth and pressed him on the steps. After a moment, the monk stopped moving, and the smell of blood filled the air.
The young man walked towards the first house in the yard. He opened the door latch and sneaked in. There were two beds in the room. The sleeping monk was snoring. The young man saw the monk's neck in the dim light.
Holding the handle of the knife with one hand and pressing the back of the knife with the other, he cut it down, and then pressed it with his whole body. There was some struggle in the night, and soon after, the young man went to the other bed...
The starry river was flowing in the sky, and in the temple under the starry sky, the young man staggered and killed the monks in several rooms. When he got to the next few rooms, there was finally a commotion. The sound of fighting resounded in the room, and a man
The fat monk burst out of the door in disheveled clothes. He held a stick in his hand and screamed several times, but the blood of the vigilant monk in the small courtyard had already spilled into a large pool.
The young man from behind rushed out, with the broken knife in his hand, his eyes as ferocious as a mad tiger, and he rushed forward. The fat monk came forward with a stick. His martial arts and strength were higher than that of the young man, but in such a one-on-one life and death fight
, but often the outcome is not determined by this. The two sides only exchanged two moves. The boy was hit on the head with a stick. The fat monk was not happy enough. He staggered a few steps and when he lowered his head, he found that he had been stabbed in the chest and abdomen.
The fat monk practiced martial arts on a daily basis, and it was not like he had never killed someone before. However, there was a difference between a group fight and a confrontation. He could have killed the opponent with his own martial arts, but when he was so nervous, he didn't even feel pain when he was stabbed in the chest. At this moment, he saw:
He was stunned for a moment. The young man rushed up to him again and gave him a blow on the head and face before running away quickly. He went around behind the monk and stabbed him again. The fat monk fell to the ground and lost his breath in a moment.
Someone came out of the fat monk's room at this time, but it was a woman with clothes on her face and sleepy eyes. Many people in this era have night blindness. After rubbing her eyes, she could see the outside situation clearly with the light. She screamed
, the young man rushed over and knocked her down.
There was another noise in another room. The young man looked anxious. He rushed over and kicked the door open. He took a look and saw a woman's voice in the room. A woman shouted: "Gouzi!" The young man named Gouzi
But he knew that if there was another monk in the temple, he would definitely die. He went to open the remaining door in the temple. When he saw that there was no one in the room, he breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the fat monk just now was from this temple.
The last man in the room.
Two women from the previous room rushed out, saw him, screamed and ran away. When the young man turned around, there was blood on his head and face. He had just been beaten again, and now his face was covered with blood.
Like evil spirits and Rakshasa, the two women screamed, and the young man chased after them and killed a slightly taller person at the temple gate. The other person was short, but she was a girl of fourteen or fifteen years old. She ran very fast.
The young man threw the knife from behind and hit the woman's leg, causing her to fall to the grass.
The girl was crawling in the grass. When she saw the evil boy running close to her, she cried and shouted: "Gouzi, don't kill me. Don't kill me. We will grow up together. I will be your mother-in-law. I will give you the gift of love."
Be a mother-in-law..." The young man came over, opened his mouth and roared a few times, as if hesitating, but finally struck the girl on the head with a knife, killing her in the grass.
After killing the last person, the young man slumped down in the grass. After sitting in a daze for a while, he got up unsteadily and went back to the temple. There were incense candles burning in the main hall of this small temple, and he was always smiling.
Maitreya Buddha sat quietly in this Shura field. The young man rummaged through boxes and cabinets in various rooms and found some rice. Then he took out the firewood and iron pot and cooked a pot of rice. During the cooking time, he added
They searched all over the temple, found gold and silver, ate food, and brought medicine for wounds. They washed the wounds in the courtyard, poured medicine on them, and bandaged themselves alone.
When the medicine touched the wound, the boy roared like a wild beast in the yard.
After a while, the meal was ready. He took the slightly burnt meal to the yard to eat. While eating, he cried uncontrollably. The tears fell on the rice one by one, and then he caught them with his hands.
The night was long and the people in the village didn't know that such a tragedy had happened in the temple on the mountain. The young man found a small amount of gold and silver, a bag of millet, and a new sharp knife in the temple.
, hung up together with the old knife, then left here and walked towards the other side of the mountain.
As night fell, the boy climbed over the mountains and ridges for more than ten miles, and the sun gradually became blazing. He was tired and hurt, so he found a shady place to sleep in the mountains. In the afternoon, he could hear the sounds outside.
There was a sound, and the young man got up and took a look at the edge of the mountain forest. Not far away, there were villagers who seemed to be searching for this way. The young man quickly set off and fled to the inaccessible part of the forest. He walked for more than ten minutes along the way.
Here, I guessed that I had left the search range, and in front of me was already a rugged and desolate unfamiliar forest.
This murderous young man's nickname is Gouzi, and his real name is You Hongzhuo. He grew up in that mountain village and practiced swordsmanship with his father. As the saying goes, the poor are poor in literature and rich in martial arts. Although the You family's swordsmanship is not bad, but due to the ancestors
Yu Yin's family was considered a wealthy family in the local area. Although the Jurchens had gone south to wreak havoc in the Central Plains when You Hongzhuo was seven years old, due to the remoteness of the mountain village, the life of You's family was still manageable.
The once peaceful Central Plains has changed, and small mountain villages are inevitably affected. The army that captures Ding comes, and Youjia uses money to deal with it. Famine is coming, and Youjia has some foundations, so he can still support it, but when the Great Guangming Sect comes to preach.
, but You Hongzhuo’s father believed the words of the monks in the temple and couldn’t help himself.
At this time, the peaceful years of the Central Plains have long gone, and we can only search hard from memory. The Great Light Sect took advantage of the situation, and said that these disasters were due to the extravagant desires of the world and lack of respect.
Let the Jurchens rise up and cause thirty-three catastrophes in the world to purge the ignorant and unbelieving people in the world. In recent years, famine has spread across the land, locust plagues have arisen, black flags have raged, and wars have continued. These are examples. You Hongzhuo's father believed this
The Great Light Sect, in accordance with its teachings, donated a large amount of family property and chanted sutras to cleanse away the sins of the family.
This year, the Great Guangming Sect in the village had already accepted many people. Although the You family could still support themselves, their belongings had also gone into the temple. The monks in the temple were still not satisfied and coveted You.
The remaining wealth of the family, on this day, in the name of praying for rain, a "miracle" was performed, and You Hongzhuo's mother was chosen to be sunk into the river as a sacrifice to the Dragon King. You Hongzhuo's father begged bitterly, saying that he was willing to use the family wealth to appease the family.
The Dragon King was angry. Before the matter was settled, a monk who coveted You's mother's beauty deceived You Hongzhuo's mother into the temple and murdered her.
At this time, the mountains were remote, and ordinary rural women worked hard every day, and it was difficult for them to have much beauty. The You family has a rich heritage, and You's mother was originally a half-literary woman. After marrying into the You family, You Hongzhuo's father
She was also treated very well, and she occasionally bought some rouge and gouache. She was much more beautiful than ordinary village girls. The monks in the temple were originally villagers with a little more flexible brains. They were composed of gangsters and had been coveting her for a long time. After the ****, You Mu
She was driven crazy and ran out naked. The monks chased You Mu and killed her. They said that she had suddenly gone mad and might have offended the Dragon King, which was a serious crime. Instead, they rebuked You Jia.
Seeing his wife's death, You Hongzhuo's father finally realized that he and his son fought with sharp knives and went to the temple to kill them. However, over the years, You and his son were just practicing swordsmanship at home. After being informed by their neighbors, a group of
The monk set up an ambush and knocked down the two Yous on the spot. Youfu was said to be quite skilled in martial arts, so he was taken the most care of by the monk and was beaten to death on the spot. You Hongzhuo was beaten to a bloody head and fainted, but it was a fluke.
Before it died, it crawled back again at night.
You Fu has only mastered the skills of Youjia Swordsman, but has no actual combat experience. When he was in the hands of You Hongzhuo, he was more than ten years old and practiced routines every day, but he didn't know how to use them. It's just that in this world
There are many people with strange personalities. He was so angry because of his mother's death that he and his father went to the temple to kill each other. What Yuan Ben wanted was just a one-on-one fight. Whatever moves the opponent made, he would block and counterattack, but he was beaten by the monk.
At the scene of the ambush, he was almost beaten to death without even making a single move, but it suddenly dawned on him - this is how martial arts can actually be used.
With this enlightenment, he returned to the temple and killed more than ten people in a row. Even the three women were originally neighbors in the village. The youngest girl grew up with him and was supposed to have a baby marriage.
This year, the family's fiancee was gone, and there was no help from the other side, so the girl was sent to the temple and given to a monk. At that time, You Hongzhuo hesitated a little, but he didn't think clearly. The knife in his hand was already gone.
He took advantage of the situation and chopped it down.
Peach plums and spring breeze, a glass of wine, and night rain in the rivers and lakes for ten years. Despite the bloody beginning, the young man's departure has led to a new world.
This year is the eighth year of Wu Jianshuo and the sixth year of the establishment of the Qi Dynasty. A full ten years have passed since the Jurchens first went south. These long ten years crushed the Central Plains for more than two hundred years.
The prosperity and prosperity of the Central Plains, even the wealth that once existed in memory, have long since become like an illusion. Young people like You Hongzhuo no longer have the impression of the Central Plains. When he came out of the mountains along the way, most of what he saw was
The dry land, the barren rice and wheat, and the fleeing pedestrians. Although it is early summer, the locust plague has already begun to rage.
The sky and the earth were long, and You Hongzhuo looked around at a loss. He didn't know where to go, so he just subconsciously walked south. Although he didn't have much experience in traveling far away, he was still a young man, and he could understand a lot of things just by listening and seeing.
.At this time, in the north of the Yellow River, although summer has just entered, many places already have traces of drought. After the famine and locust plagues in the previous two years, many people knew that they could not support themselves, and they have begun to abandon their homes and leave their hometowns.
Go south to find a way out.
In the past few years of chaos in the Central Plains, this kind of thing has continued every year. At this time, refugees have formed a large scale in several places in the Central Plains and are wreaking havoc... You Hongzhuo has not yet had a big idea of these things.
He was living in a relatively peaceful place in the hinterland of the Central Plains. At least he could buy things with gold and silver. Soon after, his pockets became increasingly empty, and his chest was still full of hatred. He began to use the small temples and strongholds of the Guangming Sect everywhere to attract believers.
For the goal, practice swordsmanship and seize things for a living.
In the next month, You Hongzhuo traveled around, killed seven or eight people in a row, and destroyed a small stronghold of the Guangming Sect. He was young and ignorant, and thought he was fine, but not long after, he was found by someone, and it was him.
His life should not be cut off, so what came to him at this time was a group of "righteous men" in the green forest who also engaged in gangsterism. After they met and had a brief exchange, they saw his sharp and ferocious sword skills, so they invited him to join the group.
You Hongzhuo, who was more than ten years old, had his first taste of the world. Six people from the other party sworn sworn vows to him. From then on, he had the first group of brothers who were like family. After those few people told him, You Hongzhuo broke out in a cold sweat behind his back. It turned out that he himself
Thinking that he had no origin, he killed people randomly and traveled far away, so that the Guangming Sect could not find him. In fact, the other party had already tracked his whereabouts. If these six brothers had not arrived earlier, he would have been surrounded by a killing trap soon.
These six brothers and sisters, both male and female, are quite friendly to You Hongzhuo, a younger brother who is new to the world and has good martial arts.
Among them, the eldest brother is named Luan Fei. He is a middle-aged man in his forties. He has a scar on his face and is serious about speech, but he is quite stable. The second brother Lu Guangzhi is tall and burly, and he is the most admirable for his martial arts skills. The third sister Qin Xiang
He has a birthmark on his face. He is not beautiful but has a very gentle temperament and takes good care of him. The fourth brother is named Kuang Wenbai and is good at using a single whip. The fifth brother Lezheng is a master of empty-handed stunts and has the most cheerful temperament. The sixth brother Qian Heng
He is two years older than him, but he is also the same young man. He has no parents and comes from a business background. He is an extremely loyal brother.
For more than a month after that, a group of seven people traveled hundreds of miles and carefully visited two Guangming Sect strongholds. Every day when nothing happened, the seven people gathered together to talk about the world, and Lao Wule was facing them.
These are the things he knows best and talks about most. It was through the other party's endless chatter that You Hongzhuo gradually learned about many world situations and the legend of the green forest.
Sometimes, Le Zheng would talk about the origin of the Great Guangming Sect, the uprising that stirred up Tiannan. The legends of the previous generation of green forest heroes, the grievances and grudges of Sheng Gong Fan La, the devil's saint Sikong Nan, and Fang Baihua.
Qiu, in the end, a few survivors were left behind, and the tatters were picked up, and only then did the Great Light Sect become what it is today.
Sometimes, he would talk about the legend of Zhou Tong, who was once the undisputed number one in the world and the "iron arm" who was undefeated. When the Jurchens went south, he led a group of heroes to fight north. He almost killed them with a steel spear called "Cang Long Fu".
Sticking to the gun. When it comes to the final death of the old hero in the military battle, You Hongzhuo will inevitably have red eyes and his voice will become choked up.
Sometimes, people would talk about the legends of the many rebels when the Jin people were raging, and Huang Tiandang's embarrassing battle. Sometimes, they would talk about the most complicated and mysterious grand master, "Heart Demon" Ning Yi, who
The violence of the regicide rebellion, a few years ago, the black flag was rampaging across the northwest, overwhelming the Jurchens' arrogance, and the mess he left left Daqi in a state of panic. In the past two years, although there have been occasional rumors that the inner demon is still alive.
, but most people still tend to think that the inner demon is dead.
