Infinite Brilliant Scroll

Chapter 3 Drawing the Sword
In today's world, ordinary people want to save candles and kerosene. In addition to the hard work during the day, they don't light the lights for a long time at night. If they want to get up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet, they often go in the dark.

But in this house, the lanterns hung under the corners of the eaves and the kerosene lamps lit inside the house illuminate the inside and outside as if at dusk.

Guan Luoyang has already walked around the house, changing to eight different locations to observe, and he has a good idea of ​​the layout of the entire house.

Of course, in the process, he also smelled something unusual.

"Loose on the outside and tight on the inside, it looks lazy, but they are actually elites. This kind of person can't be cultivated by an ordinary rich man, right?"

He killed all the smokehouses in the three cities and seven villages, and the big purchasers disappeared, so the smoke and soil flowing here was naturally much less. Unfortunately, he only had one person. He really can't handle it that well.

But after this group of people arrived in Diancheng yesterday, they did the opposite, opened a smoking den, and swaggered through the market, as if they were afraid that he, a green-faced ghost, would not hear the news.

"That's why I was specifically lured into the bait... Then, it means that the whole house is full of people who are considered qualified to ambush me, who are used to doing this kind of thing..."

Guan Luoyang squinted his eyes, contemplating the steps to take, and lingered on the two guards in the corridor for a while longer.

Both men had guns on their backs.

After coming to this world, it was not the first time for Guan Luoyang to see guns. When he assassinated the county magistrate of Heyang, he was terrified for a while when he was attacked by those muskets.

After all, a person who grew up in the safest country in the 21st century has almost no chance of direct contact with firearms, but he can always hear various descriptions about their power.

So much so that Tian Gongyu felt that he was overreacting to an incomprehensible level, and told him such a passage.

"Foreign guns are indeed very powerful, much more powerful than ordinary people's knives and fists. Rather, since the early days when bird guns were used in the army, many people felt that boxers should be eliminated.

But in fact, even today, you should use a knife or a knife. After all, it is human beings who kill people. You should not treat these foreign guns like monsters.

Back then, I asked on the battlefield that when foreigners fought with each other, if there were bunkers for each other, hundreds of bullets might not be able to kill a person.When the Boxers fought against the Eight-Power Allied Forces, they charged directly without relying on bunkers. After a battle, the number of people killed and the number of ammunition consumed were often more than one to one hundred.

Those guys who are known as the elite of the Eight Kingdoms may not be able to hit the rabbit with a gun. Do you think that you have practiced with me for several years, and you are not as good as the rabbit? "

Of course, it is impossible to directly erase the fear in Guan Luoyang's heart with these words alone.

But after many times of practice, he has been able to deal with these firearms very calmly, and the landlord and evil gentry with guns can't stop him.

However, the guns on these people's backs were quite different from the ones he had seen during the assassination in the past few years. From the perspective of shape, they seemed to be a bit like the rifles from World War II that he had seen in movies and TV dramas.

Some more attention must be paid.

Well, this time we will not take the route of going straight to the central palace, we will eliminate these gunmen who pose a serious threat first, and then kill the leader last.

call! ! !
Guan Luoyang's knife was pinned to his belt, and with his hands resting on the top of the wall, his whole body had jumped over the height of the wall, and his legs kicked on the wall. His whole body was like a swift and fierce cat, crossing a distance of five or six meters , into the corridor.

The two Qing soldiers who were patrolling back and forth were both dressed in black jackets and tight trousers. At this time, they just passed by and walked in different directions.

The Qing soldier on the left only felt a blur in the side of his eyes, and a sudden thump in his head.

The sound of Guan Luoyang's footsteps landing, and the sound of his fist hitting the man's temple sounded at the same time, becoming the last sound heard in this Qing soldier's life.

The Qing soldier on the right heard a strange noise behind him, turned around to look, and saw that his companion was crooked and about to fall.

As soon as a shadow fell on the ground, it had already come to him, and the blue mask suddenly enlarged in his eyes, almost hitting the bridge of his nose.

Ka!

Guan Luoyang broke the man's neck with a punch, and let the two corpses fall to the ground one after another.

The dull sound is about to attract other patrolling people.

After traveling back for six full years, Guan Luoyang was also confused and hesitant.

Using what he had seen and heard in the past three years, he saw those people in the city and the countryside working hard and dying powerlessly, seeing those smokers who couldn't control themselves, ruined their homes and ruined their wealth, and were as thin as shrunken skeletons, lying at the bottom of the wall, On both sides of the road, no one buried him, so he figured out what he was going to do.

Those who unscrupulously squeeze the blood and tears of labor, bully the weak and weak women, and trample on human life, whether they are leaders or accomplices, are scum that should be shot ten times.

That's why two more dead souls were added to his hands just now, Guan Luoyang's eyes were also calm, he exhaled a little turbid air from his mouth, took a deep breath, interspersed with his steps, and quickly shot diagonally.

When he moves, it is almost like a shadow that is constantly refracted between the nearby pillars. Often in a flash, he can jump from the side of this pillar to the next pillar about three meters away. There.

Within a few seconds, he slapped the four pillars on the left and right supporting this corridor respectively.

Wealthy families near Guangzhou often use cypress as pillars when building pavilions and corridors. This kind of wood is not easy to deform, has good corrosion resistance, and is also strong in rigidity.

The diameter of each of the eight pillars in front of me is close to [-] centimeters, and the ax will only leave very shallow marks on them.

But after being hit by Guan Luoyang's palm, there were fine cracks that spread out in the shape of a spider's web on the pillar.

In this world at the end of the Qing Dynasty, although I have never seen any gods and ghosts, I have never heard of martial arts such as the three-foot air wall and the subduing dragon palm.

However, the boxing martial arts that Guan Luoyang learned from Tian Gongyu, and the effect of physical training on improving physical fitness, are far from what the previous world could match.

The strength of about two thousand catties, contained but not exposed, is condensed between the palms of the palm, not to mention hitting a crack that runs through the column like this, even if it is directly interrupted in one go, it is not impossible.

After hitting the eight pillars, Guan Luoyang straightened his body, put his hands on the edge, rolled over to the top of the corridor, and lay down directly.

Tonight, the moon was covered by dark clouds and the stars were sparse. Guan Luoyang was dressed in grayish-blue clothes. After lying on the roof of the corridor, it almost blended with the color of the tiles.

At this time, the nearby patrolling personnel rushed over, and after discovering the two corpses on the ground, they immediately blew their whistles to warn.

More than a dozen people rushed to the vicinity of this corridor one after another, patrolled around, and were on guard.

The four people in the living room were startled immediately, and the patrolling personnel in several courtyards on the other side of the living room also started to move.

Guan Luoyang's body moved slightly, one leg hung from the roof of the corridor, kicked a certain pillar that had been cracked by him before, and then put his hands on the roof of the corridor, and the whole person flew away.

Originally, the eight pillars had penetrating cracks. Once this pillar was broken, the other pillars were dislocated and toppled one after another.

The entire corridor collapsed, smoke and dust everywhere, and broken tiles splashed.

These people gathered near the corridor were killed and injured on the spot, and howled everywhere.

Several Qing soldiers who hid farther away were also hit critically by the tiles thrown by Guan Luoyang before leaving, and they died!
He climbed over the wall, his body rose and fell, the layout of the house he had observed flowed in his heart, he deliberately bypassed the courtyard where the living room was, and broke into the courtyard on the other side.

Li Piaoling, Zhuang Chengxian and others rushed here one after another. The smoke and dust from the collapse of the corridor hadn't dissipated yet. The screams of those Qing soldiers were especially ear-piercing under the dark night.

Zhuang Chengxian opened his mouth wide, his voice broke sharply, and he yelled fiercely: "What's going on? What's going on?!!"

He didn't see any trace of the enemy at all, he only saw the [-] elite soldiers he relied on the most, and a small half of them were directly killed or injured here.

Could it be that this dilapidated house has been in disrepair for a long time, and this corridor collapsed here by such a coincidence today?

No, it's impossible for these people to gather here for no reason. There was a warning whistle before, and it was a green-faced ghost!But...but...

Zhuang Chengxian's eyes trembled, and he made a quick breath.

They studied the files and boasted that they had a deep understanding of the green-faced ghost. Since this man assassinated the magistrate of Heyang County, he has become less and less concerned about guns.

Even if he saw muskets here, it was impossible for him to recognize how powerful these new guns were. How could he go out of his way and choose to attack these gunmen first? !And he really succeeded!

The layout tonight seemed to have thrown off the rein from Zhuang Chengxian's hands at the very beginning, and rushed towards the unknown danger.

An ominous premonition surged in Zhuang Chengxian's heart: "Not good! Hurry up..."

Li Piaoling was the most vigilant, before he finished speaking, he suddenly turned around and ran.

Since the green-faced ghost first targeted the gunmen, besides the dead and useless gunmen here, there are still a group in the courtyard on the right side of the living room.

………………

The courtyard on the right half of the house is used as a place for family members to live. There are no corridors, rockeries, small bamboo forests and other landscapes. There are only a few courtyards connected by round arches.

And there is only one path from these courtyards to the backyard of the living room.

The Qing soldiers who were patrolling these courtyards first heard the whistle and then the loud noise of the corridor collapsing. They flocked to the road one after another, preparing to pass through the backyard of the living room to check the place where the noise came from.

A shadow flitted across the wall and landed directly among the crowd.

The Qing soldiers around were frightened and looked at it one after another.

The moment the person wearing the blue mask landed on the ground, he held the scabbard around his waist with his left hand, and pressed the handle of the knife with his right hand.

It is mentioned in the "Single Sword Style" of the Ming Dynasty: "If you hold a light knife, you can't control it legally. Iron can't be made into steel. If you cut it with a knife, the edge of the knife is skewed to one side. How can you kill people.

If it is to be hard, the knife must be thick, and it must be heavy. If it is not strong, it cannot be used.

Therefore, the method of making is only to make the back of the knife thick, gradually thinning from the bottom to the tip, the ridges on both sides should be raised, and the edge of the knife should be thin, which means that the weight is appropriate. "

The knife in Guan Luoyang's hand was tailor-made for him by Tian Gongyu. It has a seven-inch handle with bamboo grain and a two-foot-seven-inch blade. It has a proper center of gravity and is extremely smooth.

The moment he drew the knife, it didn't look like a human was using a knife, but like the fangs and claws of a beast that had been stored for a long time, suddenly popped out.

You Qingbing almost saw the arm holding the knife in his eyes, unfolding afterimages like a peacock spreading its tail.

Human eyes have the effect of persistence of vision. If the displacement of an object changes faster than [-] second, the image of the previous scene will form an afterimage before it disappears in the human field of vision.

In the process of swinging the knife, Guan Luoyang left behind such a complete afterimage because not only the change time of the blade when he swung it was much shorter than [-] second, but also the time of his wrists, elbows, and even those close to him. The movement of the big arm on the shoulder also reached an extremely high speed.

The knife fell into the eyes of a person with poor eyesight, as if the moment he drew the knife, his arm and blade suddenly disappeared, leaving only an arc formed by the reflection of the light from the knife head.

laugh! ! !
Just this circle of knife light cut off the bodies of three people around.

When they lowered their heads, they realized that the body above their ribs was beginning to separate from the body below.

I don't know who made the scream.

Splashes of blood splashed all over the ground, spraying on the faces and bodies of the surrounding people.
