Anthology of Gu Long: End of the World, Bright Moon, Knife

Chapter 13 Duel (2)
Ming Yuexin still said calmly: "I still have several peacock feathers like the one you wear on your body. I can give you one or two more at any time."

The peacock's face changed, and so did the thumb outside the door.

Mingyue Xin said: "I can give you another one right now, here, take it."

As soon as she really stretched out her hand, she took out a brilliant golden cylinder from her sleeve, and casually threw it to the peacock, just like throwing a penny to a beggar.

The peacock reached out to catch it, and only glanced at it twice, as if someone had stepped on his stomach.

Mingyue Xin said: "Do you see if this peacock feather is exactly the same as the one you are wearing?"

The peacock didn't answer, and didn't have to answer.

No matter who saw his expression, he could already guess his answer.

The thumb has begun to move back quietly.

Peacock suddenly turned back, stared at him, and said, "Why didn't you kill me?"

Thumb forced a smile and said, "We are partners, why should I kill you?"

Peacock said: "Because I want to kill you, I was going to kill you, and now I must kill you!"

Thumb said: "But I don't want to kill you, because I don't have to do it myself."

He really laughed, his eyes narrowed into a line: "There is only one person in the Jianghu who knows that you are not a real peacock. Within three hours, you will become a dead peacock."

Peacock said coldly: "It's a pity you forgot one thing."

Thumb said: "Oh?"

Peacock said: "Even if this peacock feather is fake, it is more than enough to kill you."

Thumb's smile stiffened, and he threw himself up.

Although his reaction was not slow, it was still a step late.

The golden cylinder in the peacock's hand has been shot with a dazzling brilliance.

As brilliant as a sunset, as beautiful as a rainbow.

Thumb's ugly and bloated body was immediately submerged in this brilliant and beautiful brilliance, and it was like ugly sand being swept away by a beautiful wave.

When this piece of brilliance disappeared, his life had also been wiped out.

There was a light thunder, and raindrops fell among the dark clouds.

Ming Yuexin finally sighed, and said: "You are right, even if this peacock feather is fake, it has the power to kill people."

Peacock has turned back, stared at her, and said: "So I can use it to kill you too."

Mingyue Xin said: "I know, even the thumb will be killed, and of course I will not let me go."

Peacock said: "After you die, no one will know whether the peacock feather is real or not."

Mingyue Xin said: "Except for me, no one else knows this secret."

Peacock said: "Du Lei won't go to the appointment until Shen Shi. I just rushed there after I killed you. It doesn't matter who wins or loses in this battle. The remaining one will die in my hands anyway. inside."

Ming Yuexin sighed: "Your plan was very thorough, but it's a pity you also forgot one thing."

Peacock shut his mouth and waited for her to speak.

Mingyue Xin said: "You forgot to ask me, how would I know that this peacock feather is fake."

Sure enough, the peacock immediately asked, "How do you know?"

Ming Yuexin said lightly: "Only I know this secret, just because I was the one who faked these peacock feathers."

Peacock was stunned again.

Mingyue Xin said: "Since I can make such a peacock feather, since I dare to give it to you casually, I am sure of breaking it!"

The peacock's face turned pale, and his hands were already shaking.

He can kill people, perhaps not because he has peacock feathers, but because he has a heart full of confidence and a pair of calm hands.

Both have now been destroyed.

Mingyue Xin said: "I asked you to find the first peacock feather on purpose. I chose you for a long time before I chose you to be my peacock. Because there are not many people in the world who are more suitable than you, so I will not Let you die casually, but..."

She stared at him, her moonlight-like soft eyes suddenly became sharp as a blade: "If you want to continue to be my peacock, you have to be as obedient as a peacock. If you don't believe me, you can still make a move now."

Peacock clenched his hands tightly, still trembling uncontrollably.

He looked at his hands, bent down suddenly, and started vomiting non-stop!

There was a light thunder, and raindrops suddenly fell among the dark clouds.

"I don't draw the sword because I am sure!"

Fu Hongxue's voice seemed far away, far away in the dark clouds: "When a person is going to kill someone, it is often like begging for help, becoming very humble, because he is not absolutely sure, so he will be anxious, afraid of a good opportunity miss."

He rarely spoke so much, and he spoke very slowly, as if afraid that Du Lei would not be able to bear it.

Because he knew the words he said, every word would pierce into Du Lei's heart like a blade.

Du Lei's whole body tensed up, and even his voice became hoarse: "You are absolutely sure, so you are not in a hurry?"

Fu Hongxue nodded.

Du Lei said: "When will you draw your sword?"

Fu Hongxue said: "When you drew your saber!"

Du Lei said: "What if I don't draw my sword?"

Fu Hongxue said: "You will definitely draw your sword, and you will definitely draw it in a hurry!"

——Because you want to kill me, not I want to kill you!
——So the moment of your real death is not when I draw the sword, but when you draw the sword.

There were blue veins protruding from Du Lei's hand holding the knife.

He didn't draw the sword, but he knew that sooner or later he would draw the sword!
The cold raindrops hit him drop by drop, hitting his face. He faced Fu Hongxue, facing this unparalleled swordsman, and suddenly thought of his humble childhood again in his heart.

——It was raining heavily, and the streets were muddy.

—He ran barefoot in the mud because someone was chasing him.

——He escaped from the escort agency, because he stole a pair of boots that the escort had just bought. The boots were too big, and they fell before running half a street.

——But the bodyguard still refused to let him go. After catching up with him, he tied him naked to a tree and whipped him with a rattan cane.

Now facing Fu Hongxue, he suddenly felt that feeling in his heart again, the feeling of being whipped.

An indescribable thrill and pain, a thrill and pain he will never forget.

The rain was heavier, and the soil on the ground had turned to mud.

He suddenly took off the pair of soft-soled boots worth 18 taels of silver, and stepped on the mud with bare feet.

——Fu Hongxue seemed to have turned into the bodyguard who beat him with the cane, a symbol of pain and excitement.

He suddenly roared and tore his clothes.

He roared naked in the rainstorm and mud, and the years of restraint and restraint had been released in this instant.

So he drew his sword!

—When the sword is drawn is the time of death.

So he died!

Death is not only exciting, but also painful. He would never be able to have these two things at the same time, but at the moment of "death", he had already obtained them at the same time.

The rain came quickly and stopped quickly.

The path was still muddy, Fu Hongxue walked slowly on the path, holding his knife tightly in his hand.

The knife has been sheathed, the blood on the knife has been washed away, and the knife is pitch black!

His pupils were also pitch black, deep and dark enough to hide all the pity and sorrow in his heart.

There was sunshine again among the dark clouds, presumably it was the last ray of sunshine today.

The sun shone on the high wall, and suddenly someone behind the wall was laughing again, the laughter was clear and clear, as beautiful as a silver bell, but with an indescribable irony.

Ni Hui has appeared in the sun: "It's not good-looking, it's not good-looking at all."

——What's not good-looking?

Fu Hongxue didn't ask, and he didn't even stop walking.

But wherever he went, Ni Hui also followed him: "You guys don't look good at all. What I wanted to see was your sword skills, but I didn't expect you to use tricks."

She explained again: "You asked Du Lei to draw the knife first, as if you were letting him take it, but it was actually a trick."

——Why is it a trick?

Although Fu Hongxue didn't ask, his footsteps had already stopped.

Ni Huidao: "The knife is hidden in the sheath, and no one knows its sharpness and bluntness. After the knife is out of the sheath, the sharp edge is already exposed, and no one dares to touch its edge lightly, so a knife can only be used when it is drawn out of the sheath. When it is not unsheathed, it is the time when it is most worthless."

She continued: "Of course you understand this, so you asked Du Lei to draw his sword first..."

Fu Hongxue listened quietly, and suddenly interrupted her: "This is also a saber technique, not a trick."

Ni Hui said: "No!"

Fu Hongxue said: "The ingenuity of the saber technique is different from one another, and the application is all in one mind."

Her expression was serious: "Is this the pinnacle of sword skills?"

Fu Hongxue said, "Not yet."

Ni Huidao: "Which step is the pinnacle of sword skills?"

Fu Hongxue shut his mouth again and continued walking forward!

sunny.

The last ray of sunshine is always the most brilliant and beautiful-sometimes so is life.

Ni Hui was stunned on the wall for a long time, and murmured: "Could it be that when the saber technique has not changed, is the peak of the saber technique?"

The bright sun suddenly dimmed.

——If there is no change, does it mean that the limit of change has been surpassed?So, does the knife itself still have value?
Fu Hongxue sighed inwardly, because even he couldn't answer this question.

——Why do knives exist?Why do people exist?

The sun has disappeared behind the high wall, and Ni Hui's people have also disappeared with the sun.

——But the sun still exists, and so does Ni Hui. What disappeared at this moment is only their image—the image in Fu Hongxue's subjective mind.

Fu Hongxue pushed open the small door under the high wall and walked out slowly. Just when he raised his head, he saw Ming Yuexin on the tall building.

On the tall building, Fu Hongxue's head drooped instead.

Ming Yuexin suddenly asked: "You won?"

Fu Hongxue didn't answer, he was still alive, so he just answered.

Ming Yuexin sighed, and said, "Why bother, why is this?"

Fu Hongxue didn't understand: "Why bother?"

Mingyue Xin said: "You know that you will win, so why go? He knows that he will die, why bother to come?"

Fu Hongxue was able to explain this thought-provoking question: "Because he is Du Lei, and I am Fu Hongxue!"

His explanation is also like his knife, which cuts to the heart of the issue.

Ming Yuexin was still not satisfied: "Is it because there is Fu Hongxue in this world, Du Lei must die?"

Fu Hongxue said, "No."

Mingyue Xin said: "Then what do you mean..."

Fu Hongxue said: "With Du Lei in this world, Du Lei must die!"

Although his answer seems more thought-provoking than the question itself, it is actually very simple and reasonable.

——Without life, where does death come from?

——Since there is life, how can it not die?
Ming Yuexin couldn't help sighing again, and said: "You seem to take things between life and death very lightly."

Fu Hongxue did not deny it.

Mingyue Xin said: "Of course you are more indifferent to the life and death of others, that's why you left Yan Nanfei here."

Fu Hongxue was silent, and after a long time, he asked slowly, "Has the peacock been here?"

Mingyue Xin said: "Yes!"

Fu Hongxue said, "Is Yan Nanfei still alive?"

Mingyue Xin said: "Yes!"

Fu Hongxue said indifferently: "I kept him, maybe because I already knew that he would not die."

Mingyue Xin said: "But you..."

Fu Hongxue interrupted her and said, "As long as your ideas haven't changed, I won't change what I promised you!"

Mingyue Xin said: "What did you promise?"

Fu Hongxue said: "Take you to the Peacock Villa."

Ming Yuexin's eyes lit up: "Go now?"

Fu Hongxue said, "Let's go now."

Mingyue's heart beat up, she turned her head again, and said sweetly, "Do you want me to wear that mask?"

Fu Hongxue said coldly: "Couldn't you have put a mask on your face now?"
