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

Chapter 7 The Black Hand's Thumb (2)
"I know you very well, and I know that you had a sad time in the past. The person who made you sad must look like me." Ming Yuexin said firmly, "But you must understand that she is her. It's not me, and it's not anyone else."

——So you don't need to escape, and no one needs to escape.

She didn't say the last sentence, she believed that he would understand her meaning.

The wind is still blowing, the curtain is still fluctuating, and he hasn't left yet!
Hearing his sigh, she immediately said, "If you really want him to live another year, you should do two things."

He finally said, "What's the matter?"

"You must not leave within these seven days!" She blinked before continuing, "At noon, you have to go to the street with me, and I will take you to see some people."

"who?"

"Anyone who will never let Yan Nanfei live another three days!"

noon.

A carriage was parked outside the small gate in the back garden, the curtains on the windows drawn down.

"Why take the car?"

"Because I only want you to see them, and I don't want them to see you." Ming Yuexin suddenly smiled and said, "I know you don't want to see me either, so I'm ready to wear a mask on my face."

She was wearing a Maitreya Buddha mask, with a fat face, she smiled like a fat doll, against her slender and slender waist, it looked really funny.

Fu Hongxue still didn't even look at her, and still held the pitch-black knife tightly in his pale hand.

In his eyes, it seems that there is nothing in this world that is worthy of his smile.

Ming Yuexin's eyes stared at him behind the mask, and suddenly asked: "Do you want to know who the first person I want to show you is?"

Fu Hongxue didn't respond.

Mingyue Xin said: "It's Du Lei, the Du Lei who 'moves the wind and thunder with one knife'."

Fu Hongxue didn't respond.

Ming Yuexin sighed, and said: "It seems that you have been out of the rivers and lakes for too long, and you don't even know this person!"

Fu Hongxue finally spoke, and said coldly, "Why do I have to know him?"

Mingyue Xin said: "Because he is also on the list."

Fu Hongxue said, "What list?"

Mingyue Xin said: "Jianghu Celebrity List!"

Fu Hongxue's face turned even paler.

He knew that no one would bow to anyone who had already made a name for himself in the arena!

Back in the past, Bai Xiaosheng wrote the "Weapon Spectrum" to criticize the world's masters. Although it was very fair, it caused a series of murders. Later, some people even said that he was deliberately stirring up trouble in the Jianghu.

Now, how did this "Jianghu Celebrity List" come about?Don't you have any intentions?
Ming Yuexin said: "It is said that this celebrity list is written by Gong Ziyu, and there are only thirteen names on the list."

Fu Hongxue suddenly sneered, and said, "Of course his own name is not on the list."

Mingyue Xin said: "You guessed it right."

Fu Hongxue's eyes flashed, and he asked again, "Where's Ye Kai?"

Mingyue Xin said: "Ye Kai's name is not there either, maybe it's just because he has completely left the rivers and lakes, he is already an outsider, and he is already in the sky beyond the sky."

Fu Hongxue remained silent, his eyes seemed to have suddenly moved into the distance.

On the bank of the distant sky, there is a cool breeze, and a person dances alone in his clothes, as if he is waiting to ride the wind.

Mingyue Xin said: "I know Ye Kai is your only friend, don't you have any news about him?"

Fu Hongxue's gaze suddenly became razor sharp again, and he said coldly, "I have no friends, not a single one."

Ming Yuexin sighed in her heart, turned back to the topic, and said, "Why don't you ask me if your name is on the list?"

Fu Hongxue didn't ask, just because he didn't need to ask at all.

Mingyue Xin said: "Maybe you don't need to ask, of course your name is on the list, and Yan Nanfei is also there!"

She pondered, and said again: "Although this celebrity list indicates that the ranking is not in order, but there are thirteen names written on a piece of paper, and there is always a priority."

Fu Hongxue finally couldn't help but ask, "Who is the number one?"

Mingyue Xin said: "It's Yan Nanfei!"

Fu Hongxue's hand holding the knife tightened for a while, and then slowly relaxed.

Mingyue Xin said: "He walks in the rivers and lakes, why he never has a peaceful day, you should understand by now."

Fu Hongxue didn't speak, the carriage had already stopped, it was parked opposite a tall building.

The Huibin building is ten feet high.

"I know that Du Lei eats here at noon every day, and he has to eat until this time every day before leaving!"

Mingyue thought, "He eats four dishes, two bowls of rice, and one jug of wine every day, and he hasn't even changed the menu!"

Fu Hongxue's pale face was still expressionless, but his pupils had begun to shrink.

He knew that he had met a terrifying opponent again this time.

There are thousands of masters in the rivers and lakes, but only thirteen are on the list.

These thirteen people are of course extremely terrifying characters.

Ming Yuexin pushed aside the curtains on the car window, looked out, and suddenly said: "He came out."

It's the middle of the day.

When Du Lei walked out of the Huibin building, his own shadow was stepped on by himself.

The soft-soled boots on his feet worth 18 taels of silver are still brand new!
Whenever he trampled on his shadow in his brand-new boots, he felt a strange urge to take off his boots, to take off his whole body, and run into the middle of the street screaming.

Of course he can't do that because he's a celebrity now, very famous.

Everything he does now is as precise as midnight drumming.

No matter where he goes, no matter how long he stays there, he must live and eat at the same time every day, and eat the same dishes.

Sometimes even though he eats like crazy, he still refuses to change!

Because he wants others to think that he is an accurate and efficient person, and he knows that people always have a certain awe for this kind of person, and this is his greatest pleasure and enjoyment.

After 17 years of hard training, five years of struggle, and 42 bloody battles, this is what he hopes to achieve.

He must convince himself that he is no longer that wild child with bare feet and no shoes all year round.

The knife inlaid with precious jade was shining in the sun, and many people on the street were looking at his knife. In a black-painted carriage opposite, there seemed to be two pairs of eyes staring at him.

He's gotten used to being stared at in recent years, as every celebrity has to get used to.

But today he suddenly felt very uncomfortable, like a naked girl standing among a large group of men.

Was it because the eyes in the opposite vehicle had penetrated his gilded shell and saw the barefoot wild child again?
——Splitting the carriage with a knife, gouging out the two pairs of eyes.

He had this urge, but he didn't do it, because he didn't come here to find this kind of trouble.

In recent years he has learned to be patient.

Without even looking over there, he walked along the sunny long street to the inn where he was staying. Every step he took was as accurate as an old tailor measuring a little girl's clothes, not more than an inch, not an inch. Less, it happens to be one foot and two inches.

He wanted others to understand that his knife was just as accurate.

Ming Yuexin gently lowered the opened curtains, exhaled lightly, and said, "What do you think of this person?"

Fu Hongxue said coldly: "If he doesn't die within a year, he will definitely become a madman."

Ming Yuexin sighed, and said: "It's a pity that he is not crazy yet..."

The chariots and horses stopped opposite "Yipinxiang".

Yipinxiang is a big teahouse, and there are usually all kinds of people in the teahouse, and the bigger the teahouse, the more people there are.

Ming Yuexin pulled the curtains again, and Fu Hongxue looked at it for a long time before asking, "What did you see?"

Fu Hongxue said, "Human."

Mingyue Xin said: "How many people?"

Fu Hongxue said: "Seven."

Now is the time when the teahouse business is on the market, and there are at least one or two hundred customers in it. Why did he only see seven?
Ming Yuexin didn't think it was strange at all, instead her eyes showed admiration, and she asked again:
"Which seven do you see?"

The seven people Fu Hongxue saw were - two chess players, one peanut peeler, a monk, a pockmark, a little singing girl, and a big fat man dozing off on the table.

Some of these seven sat in the corner, and some sat in the crowd, and they looked nothing special.

Why can't anyone else see him, but only these seven?
Not only was Ming Yuexin not surprised, but even more admired, she sighed softly and said, "I only know that your sword is fast, but I didn't expect your eyes to be faster."

Fu Hongxue said: "Actually, all I need to see is one person."

He is looking at a person.

The fat man who was dozing off on the table just now woke up. He stretched himself first, then poured a bowl of tea to rinse his mouth, and sprayed a mouthful of tea on the ground with a "poof", which wet the trousers of the person next to him. , he quickly bent down and wiped the man's trousers with his sleeve with a poignant smile.

If a person is too fat, he will inevitably do things that look a little silly.

But when Fu Hongxue was looking at him, his eyes were exactly the same as when he was looking at Du Lei just now.

Does he think this fat man is also a terrible opponent?

Mingyue Xin said: "Do you recognize this person?"

Fu Hongxue shook his head.

Mingyue Xin said: "But you pay attention to him."

Fu Hongxue nodded.

Ming Yue Xin said: "Have you discovered what is special about him?"

Fu Hongxue was silent, and after a long time, he said word for word: "This person has murderous intent!"

Mingyue Xin said: "Murderous?"

Fu Hongxue clenched the knife in his hand, and said, "Only a master who has killed countless people will have a murderous aura on his body!"

Ming Yue Xin said: "But he looks like just a bloated and stupid fat man."

Fu Hongxue said coldly: "That's just his cover, just like the sheath of a sword."

Ming Yuexin sighed again, and said: "It seems that your eyes are sharper than your knives."

She obviously recognized this man, and knew his background very well.

Fu Hongxue said, "Who is he?"

Mingyue Xin said: "He is the thumb."

Fu Hongxue said, "Thumb?"

Mingyue Xin said: "Do you know that a terrible secret organization has appeared in Jianghu in recent years?"

Fu Hongxue said, "What's the name of this organization?"

Mingyue Xin said: "Black hand!"

Fu Hongxue had never heard of this name, but still felt an indescribable pressure.

Ming Yuexin said: "So far, there are not many people in Jianghu who know about the situation of this organization, because what they do is all underground and cannot see the light of day."

Fu Hongxue said, "What did they do?"

Mingyue Xin said: "Kidnapping, extortion, assassination!"

A hand has five fingers, and this organization also has five heads.

This fat man is the thumb, the thumb of the black hand!
The carriage moved on again, and the curtains were lowered.

Ming Yuexin suddenly asked: "Which finger is the most powerful on a hand?"

Fu Hongxue said: "Thumb."

Mingyue Xin said: "Which finger is the most flexible?"

Fu Hongxue said, "The index finger."

Mingyue Xin said: "In the Black Hand organization, those responsible for assassination are the thumb and index finger."

The most frightening thing about Thumb is that he has the thirteen Taibao skills that others can't practice.

Because he was originally a eunuch in the palace, he has been a eunuch since he was a child, and several masters in the palace had taught him martial arts.

The origin of the index finger is even more peculiar. It is said that not only was he a monk in Shaolin Temple, he had carried six sacks in the beggar gang, he was also the head of the punishment hall of the phoenix tail gang in the south of the Yangtze River and the twelve serial docks.

They each have a group of people, each of them has a very special ability, and they have cooperated for a long time.

So their assassination operations have never failed.

Ming Yuexin said: "But the most terrifying people in this organization are not the two of them."

Fu Hongxue said, "Who is it?"

Mingyue Xin said: "It's the ring finger." On one hand, the ring finger is the most clumsy.

Fu Hongxue said, "Why is the ring finger so scary?"

Mingyue Xin said: "It's because he is nameless."

Fu Hongxue admitted.

Famous martial arts heroes, of course, must have strong points, but some unknown people are often more terrifying.

Because you usually don't know how terrible he is until his knife has pierced your heart.

Mingyue Xin said: "No one in Jianghu has ever known who the ring finger is, and no one has seen him."

Fu Hongxue said, "Even you don't know?"

Ming Yuexin smiled wryly: "Maybe I have to wait until his knife has pierced my heart to find out!"

Fu Hongxue was silent, and after a long time, he asked, "Who are you taking me to see now?"

Ming Yuexin didn't directly answer this question, saying: "This small town is not a very lively place, but in the past few days, a lot of strange quacks have suddenly come here."

Now she is no longer a stranger to these people, because she has investigated their origins and details.

Fu Hongxue was not surprised.

He had already discovered that she was by no means as pure and weak as she appeared on the outside, and in her slender hands, she obviously held a huge power, far greater than anyone imagined.

Mingyue Xin said: "I have investigated the details of almost every one of them, except for one person."

Fu Hongxue said, "Who?"

Before Ming Yuexin could speak, suddenly, the healthy horse pulling the carriage neighed, the person stood up, and the carriage tilted, almost overturned.

Her people were already outside the carriage, only a middle-aged man in green clothes and white socks fell under the horse's hooves.

If the front hooves of a standing horse are stepped down, even if the horse does not die, its bones will be broken.

The driver could no longer hold the horse, and the body of the person who fell on the ground shrank into a ball, and he couldn't even move.

Seeing that the horse's hoof was about to step down, Ming Yuexin not only didn't even have any intention of helping her, she didn't even look at it.

She was looking at Fu Hongxue.Fu Hongxue had also arrived outside the carriage, his pale face was completely expressionless, and he had no intention of making a move.

The crowd screamed, the horse's hoof finally stepped down, and the man in Tsing Yi on the ground fell under the horse's hoof. Everyone could see clearly, but he was not trampled by the horse's hoof.When the horse calmed down, the man slowly got up from the ground, panting for breath.

Although his face has changed color due to fear, he still looks very ordinary. He is a very ordinary person, not even a bit special.

But when Fu Hongxue looked at him, his eyes became even colder.

He has seen this man.It was this person who wet his trousers with a sip of tea from Thumb just now.

Ming Yuexin smiled suddenly, and said: "It seems that your luck today is really bad. Just now, someone wet your pants, and now you are covered in dirt again."

The man also smiled, and said lightly: "I am unlucky today, and I don't know how many people are more unlucky than me. I am unlucky today, and I don't know how many people will be unluckier than me tomorrow. Life is like this Damn, why should the girl take it too seriously?"
