Fighter of the Destiny

The blood flowed back along the sword body and was blocked by the sword. It did not flow to Chen Changsheng's hands. But for some reason, he seemed to be able to feel the temperature of the blood. He even felt that his hands were a little wet and sticky, which was very uncomfortable. , and then he remembered that this seemed to be his first time killing someone. From Xining Town to Kyoto, he participated in the Ivy Banquet, the Imperial Examination, and battles, and then entered the Zhou Garden. He fought many battles, but except for the Demon General and his wife who died in front of the Zhou Tomb, no one died in his life. With his sword, this shop owner was the first person he killed.

The shop owner slowly fell down in front of him, his wide-open eyes filled with unwillingness and despair. There was no mean look on his face, only a look of death.

Chen Changsheng was silent for a while, pulled out the dagger from his belly, then was silent for a while again, looked at Su Li, and expressed his doubts with his eyes - no matter how he looked at this shop owner, he didn't look like a killer. , On the contrary, there are a lot of suspicious things about that waiter. Why did you, senior, lend me my sword to kill him?

He did not misunderstand that Su Li was killing innocent people like those passionate young people. He tried to stay calm and did not make a judgment in advance. This was the best judgment, so Su Li was very satisfied and said: "If you want Ask me why I killed him, and it’s hard for me to explain in simple words.”

Chen Changsheng said: "There is no murderous aura in his body, and there is no true energy fluctuation of a practitioner."

Su Li put the porridge bowl in his hand on the table, pointed at the body of the shop owner in the pool of blood with his chopsticks, and said, "How can a big car shop in a place like Junzhai not have murderous intent at all?"

Chen Changsheng thought for a while and understood what he meant. This was indeed a doubtful point.

Su Li said: "And he looks too much like a big car shop owner, mean and irritable... But in fact, this kind of image just fits the impression of a big car shop owner in the minds of the people. The real big car shop owner is here." Staying in such a shabby shop in a place where birds don't poop can be indifferent, but it must be numb. How can you be so in the mood to teach your own waiter a lesson?"

Chen Changsheng felt that his words were teaching him, so he listened very carefully.

Su Li pointed at the shop owner's body with chopsticks and continued: "Of course, these are just doubts, not evidence. The evidence is that there is no real energy fluctuation in his body, but there is aura."

Chen Changsheng lowered his head, rummaged through the shop owner's body for a moment, and found a magic weapon made in the shape of a jade pendant. This magic weapon can be used to suppress fluctuations in true energy.

"I can't teach you this. When you reach my level of cultivation, you will naturally be able to sense this aura." After Su Li said this, he picked up the porridge bowl and continued the endless breakfast. Seeing his beaming expression, It seems that he is very satisfied with the pickles provided by the big car shop.

"I originally thought it was the waiter, because he was too enthusiastic towards us last night, and his hands..." Chen Changsheng looked at the waiter standing in front of the table, and his eyes fell on the tiger's mouth of his right hand, where there was a very large circle. Visible calluses may be a sign of long-term sword holding. The waiter's face was pale, his whole body was shaking, and he was obviously frightened.

Su Li said casually while eating porridge: "The callus on the tiger's mouth can be used not only for holding swords, but also for holding knives. Kitchen knives are also knives."

Although a kitchen knife and a sword are two completely different things, there is really no difference between the kitchen knife handle and the sword hilt. Chen Changsheng looked down at the blood-stained dagger in his hand, and his breathing became a little short because he suddenly Very scared. If Su Li hadn't poked him with chopsticks just now, or he would have stabbed the waiter with the sword in his hand, it would have meant that he had killed an innocent person.

What if you kill the wrong person? A person only has one life. If he kills the wrong person, it is a wrong. He can never correct or make amends. This is a fact that he finds difficult to accept.

"Killing! Killing!"

At this time, the waiter seemed to have just come to his senses. Looking at the body of the shop owner lying in a pool of blood, he let out a scream of extreme horror and rushed out of the shop. However, in panic due to fear, he tripped over the body of the shop owner. , fell heavily to the ground. He ignored the pain and hurriedly tried to get up, but was staggered by the slimy blood on the ground. He looked extremely embarrassed and pitiful.

Chen Changsheng was a little apologetic and stepped forward to help him up from the ground. At this moment, Su Li finally finished his breakfast, wiped his mouth with satisfaction, put the empty porridge bowl on the table again, and then threw the chopsticks in his hand out, looking very cool and dandy, but it was just his The chopsticks seemed to be thrown out casually, but they hit Chen Changsheng somewhere in the ribs.

A very weak but very clever force entered Chen Changsheng's body and controlled his movements, making him turn slightly sideways while extending his right hand forward like lightning.

The bloody dagger was still in his right hand.

With a pop, the sharp dagger easily broke through a piece of seemingly solid soft armor and stabbed deeply into the chest of the waiter, directly piercing his heart.

The waiter's face was full of shock, his throat made a roaring sound, and blood spilled from the corners of his lips. He slowly fell forward and fell to the ground, dying there.

This time Chen Changsheng was really stunned, and his face instantly turned pale.

At this time, the dagger was still deeply embedded in the waiter's chest, and he was holding it in his hand. He seemed to be able to truly feel the whole process of the heart that the sword had passed through, from beating slowly to completely silent.

He looked at Su Li uneasily. If Su Li couldn't give enough proof at this time, at least a stronger proof than that shop owner, then it would be difficult for him to accept what was happening now. Well, since he needed strong proof , then look for it yourself. He turned the body over with slightly trembling hands, and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the small crossbow in the shop clerk's hand that was obviously quenched with poison.

"Senior, how did you figure this out?"

He looked at Su Li with eyes no longer uneasy, but full of admiration.

Su Li said: "Didn't you hear what the shop owner was scolding the waiter?"

Chen Changsheng was focused on the details of the actions of the shop owner and waiter, and did not pay attention to these contents.

"The store owner's scolding was very exciting and full of content. I mean the specific content, such as the waiter being lazy and lazy... What does this prove? It proves that they really know each other." Su Li stood up and looked at the two corpses in front of the table. Said: "Or maybe they are partners who grew up together? Who knows. Anyway, I only know that a killer's partner must also be a killer."

Chen Changsheng once again felt admiration, thinking that indeed details can determine success or failure, and experience is above all else. However, these are all guesswork after all... What if the wrong person is killed?

"Wrong killing? Then it's wrong. What else can we do?"

Su Li said expressionlessly, then opened his arms and said, "What are you waiting for? Come here quickly."

Chen Changsheng came to his senses and asked, "Are you leaving now?"

Su Li said angrily: "Are you still waiting for the soldiers in the military camp to arrest you?"

Chen Changsheng did not dare to say anything more. Before the murder in the big car shop could alarm the people in the military village, he carried Su Li on his back and left in the wind and snow, heading south.

…

…

In a dark willow forest southeast of the military village, the two stopped to rest for a while.

Chen Changsheng was actually puzzled. Since those who wanted to kill Su Li already knew his whereabouts, why should they hide their identity? It would be better to contact the Great Zhou military directly to obtain protection.

Su Li said: "Those two guys are just killers who don't deserve to be on the stage. They may not even know who I am. They just happen to be active in this area."

Chen Changsheng asked: "Who are these two killers?"

Su Li was really annoyed and said, "I've been told that they are unworthy people, how do I know who they are?"

Chen Changsheng thought for a while and said, "You mean, these two killers are just doing things for money, and if your identity is exposed, the killer who comes may not be such a weak killer, but a truly strong one?"

Su Li said: "It's a very simple truth, but it still needs such a careful explanation? Why are you such a talkative little guy?"

Chen Changsheng thought to himself that although he could not be said to be taciturn, and he was not very good at speaking, it was just that you, senior, were unpredictable, and you always felt a little unsure if you didn't ask for explanations.

He persisted and asked: "If that's the case, then why don't the demons simply release your whereabouts?"

Su Li said: "Because Black Robe is not sure where I am, the people he colluded with in the human world, or those people who have a tacit understanding with him, are now just scattered all over the sky looking for me. Of course, even those people Even if my whereabouts are confirmed, the news will not be released."

Chen Changsheng asked in confusion: "Why is this?"

Su Li said: "Because besides me who want to kill me, there are also many people who want to help me."

Chen Changsheng doesn't understand. Could it be that after your whereabouts became known to the world, senior, many people would come from thousands of miles away to help you?

"Who am I?" Su Li looked at him and asked seriously.

Chen Changsheng was now used to his way of talking. He was a little tired of it and a little numb. His answer was quite mechanical: "Uncle Lishan, the most powerful swordsman and the idol of the younger generation of practitioners."

Compared with Heilong, Su Li obviously only cared about superficial things. He didn't accuse him of being careless in his answer. He said proudly: "This is the end. Since I am the idol of many people, knowing that I was injured, I will not be in trouble." Difficulty, those people are not in a hurry to save me?"

Chen Changsheng didn't want to continue this topic and asked, "Senior, what should we do next?"

Su Li said: "Of course you want to hide it from everyone in the world and secretly send me back to Mount Li."

Chen Changsheng thought that Li Shan was far away in the south of the mainland, more than tens of thousands of miles away from here. How difficult it would be to send Li Shan back, and it was still not known to anyone... How anxious would those people who were worried about him be?

"Senior, why can't we let people from the mountain pick you up?"

"Stupid, Lishan is the farthest away from here. By the time my disciples and disciples come over, the day lilies will be cold."

Chen Changsheng thought that the closest one to here was the Northern Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but you refused to look for it, so he couldn't help but said seriously: "Senior, I don't understand why you don't want to ask for help from the Northern Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If it's a matter of face, then I can go and ask for help." , they will definitely send someone to take us back to Kyoto."

Su Li looked at him and sneered, "Are you, the dean of the National Education Academy, so great?"

Chen Changsheng thought to himself that although he, the dean of the Chinese Academy of Education, was nothing in front of you, senior, he should still have some weight for Da Zhou.

Su Li said: "But have you ever thought about how you can hide my identity when everyone's eyes are on you?"

Chen Changsheng looked at him and said sincerely: "Since those who want to kill you have appeared, your identity and whereabouts will always be exposed. What we have to fight for now should be time. It is indeed too far away from the mountain and Kyoto is too far. , but the Zhou army is really close, as long as you show your identity, what else do you need to worry about?"

After all, it came back to the original suggestion, which was also the thing he didn't understand the most.

Su Li looked at him and sighed: "I really don't know if you, little guy, are naive or stupid."

Chen Changsheng was stunned and didn't understand what this meant.

Su Li looked at him with a faint smile and said, "You always say that I should ask for help from the Zhou army. Don't you know... the people in this continent who want me dead the most are you Zhou people?"

As soon as his voice fell, the snow on the black willow forest suddenly rustled to the ground.

It was cold.

The ground shook slightly, and hundreds of cavalry were galloping across the snowfield at high speed in the distance.

Those were the most elite snow riders of the Northern Army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and they seemed to be searching for something.
