Chereads / Seven Samurai / Chapter 116 - Chapter 4

Chapter 116 - Chapter 4

Countless torches emerged from the river and from the mountains and forests, surrounding Jack and his party. Yan Yan was grilling fish there by herself, ignoring the changes outside. The Jie family brothers were still waiting aside with their hands down, making no movement. The curious Juggernaut watched groups of people coming and going with great interest. However, the tall beauty who had no time to say her name quickly drew out her sword and stood guard in front of Jack. Because the other party's intentions are obviously unfriendly.

A three-masted ship on the river is decorated with bright lights, just like a treasure ship sailing from the Dragon Palace, not to mention the red lacquered wood carvings. Several small boats were released from the ship, carrying more than ten people to the shore. A warrior he saw was of extraordinary majesty, walking like a tiger or a dragon, and came to stand in front of Jack and the others. If you look carefully, you will see that there is a piece of beautiful jade and a silver medal tightly tied around the waist. The warrior order is forty.

"Master Shizhuang, it is this outsider who did this." A man dressed as a rough worker stood behind the warrior and pointed out Jack. The martial artist Nuji, who was respectfully called the Master of Shizhuang, took a big step forward. "Hmph! It was you, the golden-haired monkey, who killed my brother."

The words weren't nice at the beginning, but the reaction they got wasn't a normal one either.

"Ah~what?" Jack responded with a smile. In fact, under the temptation of the aroma of grilled fish, he simply forgot about any good things he had done. But such an attitude only angered the other party.

"Don't say you weren't the one who just went on a killing spree at the Yuelai Inn. Our witnesses have confirmed it. Thirty-one people died in total, including women and children. Where do you think this account should go?"

"Thirty-one lives? Is it really you who did it?" Listening to this stern testimony, Yan Yan, who was grilling fish on the side, showed a rare curiosity. Even though the relationship between her words was important, she still spoke with a nonchalant look and tone, which made people feel angry and happy.

"Oh~oh!" With an expression of sudden realization, Jack nodded and responded: "Yes, it's me." He stood up, dodged the tall beauty standing in front of him with his sword drawn, and took a few steps forward. "Seeing that you are fighting like this, you are not willing to give up. Just explain clearly what you want to do."

After seeing clearly the people present, the Master of Shizhuang bowed his hands. "Friends here, listen to what I have to say. I have made it clear that this matter has nothing to do with other people. As long as this villa takes down this outsider to sacrifice my brother, those who know how to do it should not take action to help." Then he looked at the person sitting on the fire. Next to Yan Yan. "Spinning Flowers and Flying Smoke, the heroine Yan, is both a member of the Nine-Nine Warriors List. Shi Aotian only asks you to help us. The name of the Yan family is as loud as thunder, and it would not be good to disgrace the reputation of our ancestors."

After finishing the scene, he just nailed the others to the spot. Only the big beauty ignored him and only focused on helping Jack with his sword. Just a few steps forward, he was blocked by the fishing rod.

"Thank you for your kindness, matchmaker. But you'd better step back." Jack winked at the tall beauty. She looked dumbly at the man who called her name. Jack smiled softly. "I just suddenly remembered the little girl who gave me a fishing rod on the Tangsha River, but you have grown a lot bigger. I don't know where the fishing rod went."

He took a few steps forward and stood between the two groups of people. Jack held up his fishing rod and pointed at Shi Aotian. "Just make sure you know the whole story. Basically, it doesn't matter who you sacrifice my head to." He put the fishing rod on his shoulder, not caring whether the other people's reaction was anger or sadness. "But my consistent principle is: if you have the ability, get it yourself!"

Jack's declaration of war aroused a group of people's noise. Holding iron hooks and long swords high, there were more than a hundred people surrounding them. However, this small scene did not shock this man who had gone through ups and downs. When facing the Black Sheep Knights with tens of thousands of people, the dull murderous aura was much more unbearable than the noisy aura.

"Hmph! Here comes the sword!" Shi Aotian took a long sword from his subordinate behind him. I saw bursts of blue light emanating from the sword in the moonlight, and a cold feeling penetrated the hearts of everyone present. He made a sword gesture and pointed at Jack. "To deal with a waste like you, I, Hanquan Sword Hai, Shi Aotian, only need three successes with the rare god-edge Hanquan Sword, and I will teach you to bow down and become a vassal. Look at the sword!"

The sword moved lightly, and with the sharp blade flowing out of green light, it twisted and attacked Jack like a green snake. The man shrouded in the scope of the sword did not show much panic. He just shrugged helplessly and sighed. The next moment, he suddenly appeared beside Shi Aotian.

All the movements are so fast, but every link can be clearly reflected in everyone's eyes. Jack, who bent down and flew into the air, twisted his waist, accumulated all his strength, and then kicked out with one leg. This pedal is as fast as a meteor and lightning, giving people a sense of powerlessness that is hard to guard against and unstoppable. It's just that Shi Aotian has no chance to tell others how he feels in it, unless his head flies away from his neck and can still speak.

The standing sword master stood beside the headless corpse, with contempt in his eyes and disdain in his words. "You can't even figure out how much strength you need to deal with me. Even if you try your best, the result will be the same!" Looking at the minions around Famous Sword Villa, the Sword Master just sneered. "If you are not afraid of death, just come up!"

"Avenge the big villa owner and the third villa owner~!" With a shout, everyone responded at the same time, holding their weapons high and fighting forward. Standing on the spot, Jack did not dodge, threw off the fishing line on the fishing rod, picked up the Hanquan Sword on the ground, and swept it away! A row of heads were brought down. The Cold Spring Sword came out from its hook and passed through the chests of three or five people before falling into the water.

A fight started again. However, the battle situation was still one-sided, falling towards the only monster that was not a human being.

The four people who stood aside and watched the bloody massacre, the tall and beautiful matchmaker looked at the others with pleading eyes. However, the eldest of the Jie brothers didn't react, but the younger one seemed like he couldn't stand it anymore and was on the verge of exploding. Looking at Yan Yan again, the same woman naturally quickly understood the meaning of that look, but she just shook her head. "It's called two people who don't help each other, but actually one side doesn't need to help, and the other side can't help. I don't want to make an enemy of that man, and I can't win. Don't worry, he won't die."

"Don't kill anymore! Don't kill anymore!" Jie Qi finally couldn't help shouting. Looking at the blood in the field, he did a lion hugging the ball. "If you can't bear it anymore, there's no need to bear it anymore!" He shouted loudly and stepped on the Nine Palaces to attack Jack.

Jie Liang on the side couldn't even stop him and watched helplessly as his younger brother joined in the melee. But the worry did not last long, as a familiar figure rolled back to them.

"Oops, I only have half a breath left!" "Fortunately, I still have half a breath."

With two different moods and two similar statements, Jie Liang looked at the other speaker, Yan Yan, with a worried expression. The beauty in water clothes pointed to the center of the field, indicating to Jie Liang to have a clear look. I saw that no one survived Jack's fight, and they were all killed in one move. In comparison, it was lucky that his younger brother could still breathe half a breath. Jie Liang sighed helplessly: "It's okay, I still have half a breath left."

Yan Yan took out something from her arms and threw it to Jie Liang. Yan Yan smiled sweetly: "The life-sustaining pill passed down from the family is quite useful."

"Yunnan Baiyao!" Jie Liang looked at the small white porcelain bottle in his hand and said in a surprised tone. Yan Yan smiled lightly and praised: "Hey! I know the goods!"

Without any hesitation, Jie Liang quickly poured out a red pill and fed it to his brother. After hearing a muffled sound and vomiting out a mouthful of purple blood, he knew that his brother would be fine for a while. Jie Liang respectfully handed the small porcelain vase back to Yan Yan and bowed her hand. "Thank you for your help, Miss. It's a great kindness. I will always keep Jie Liang in my heart."

Upon hearing the name of the Jie family, Yan Yan just flashed her eyes and then looked indifferently towards the dying battlefield. "Who is he? Do you know?"

"We only know that his name is Jack, but we don't know where he is from." Jie Liang, who was taking care of his younger brother, responded to Yan Yan's question and looked towards the center of the field. Under the bright white moonlight, the bloody man covered in red looked particularly terrifying, especially when there were countless corpses around him...or should we call them corpses.

The sword master who stopped and glanced around suddenly noticed that Jie Qi was lying on the ground, unconscious. "What's up with him?"

Such a question was a bit difficult to ask, but Jie Liang still answered it truthfully. "He just couldn't stand it any longer and was kicked in the face when he tried to stop you."

"Humph!" Jack turned around and walked towards the shore. But he left another sentence thoughtfully: "But if he can survive a kick, it's his. But after he wakes up, it's best to remind him that he won't be so lucky the second time. No. It's better to be less capable than to overestimate your capabilities. These dead people didn't make any mistakes, they only made two mistakes. The first thing was that they offended me; the second thing was that they overestimated their capabilities."

The people who were still on the ship had already sailed away in a three-masted ship. No one wants to mess with such evil stars without any support. In particular, the man ranked forty on the Nine-Nine Warriors List only received one kick. It seemed that he could not defeat him without gathering more strength.

When Jack walked to the riverside, he first cleaned the fishing rod in his hand, put it aside, and then walked into the water. He lowered his head and lowered his hands, letting the running water take away the unusually fishy blood stains on his body. The surface of the river suddenly turned red, which looked particularly strange and eye-catching in this moonlit night. Because there is actually a trace of beauty in it, a beauty full of murderous atmosphere.

"Matchmaker, wine."

Upon hearing the call, the big beauty hurriedly brought the wine jar on the ground to Jack. The unsealed wine jar poured out, and the sword master raised his head to take it. I saw that he didn't take a breath or stop, as if the wine in the jar was pouring out, and the endless flow of wine was just poured into another bottomless jar. A jar of strong wine, drank in one gulp.

Meilong Town is a large northern town in the Fengzi River Basin in the southeast. Three channels vertically and three horizontally intersect among them, dividing the entire town into a nine-square grid, mainly used for small boats to carry goods. But there are still many people who directly put their belongings on the boat and move around Meilong Town by boat.

Meilong Town relies on a large mountain called Nanlong Mountain, which is opposite to Beilong Mountain from the north to the south along the Xianzi River. Legend has it that the Longshan Mountains in the north and south were the places where the immortal Mu Feibai chopped off the heads of two violent Yinglongs. These two Yinglongs are the culprits that turned the entire southeast into a criss-crossing network of large rivers and small rivers, like the veins of maple leaves.

Although Xiyinglong's head was beheaded, it was still dead but not stiff, and it still spit out large amounts of water from its mouth to cause harm to the world. Immortal Mu Feibai then used the Tai Chi pattern on his Taoist robe, split it in half, and sealed a dragon's mouth on each side, forming a magatama-shaped lake. The flood also turned into a stream and flowed down the mountain. It forms the Xianzi River in the northern Longshan Mountains, and the Meizi River in the southern Longshan Mountains.

Whether this legend is a myth or a fact, it explains the wonders of the two mountains - Half Moon Lake. It doesn't matter that the lake is gorgeous and the forest is beautiful. What's even better is that the two lakes each have a small island at the wider end.

Thousands of years ago, a Feng Shui master built a small bridge in Banyue Lake on Nanlong Mountain to connect to the isolated island on the lake. No one knows why, but the bridge 800 steps away is made of stone and extends to Dokdo like a snake. There are a total of ninety-nine eighty-one bridge holes and eighty bridge piers, which means there are eighty bends. There are one hundred and sixty-four stone lions facing the bridge pillars, which have stood for more than a thousand years and are a beautiful sight in the southeast. There is a small pavilion on the island for passing tourists to rest and enjoy the scenery.

Back to Jack. The matchmaker still drove the boat through the Longji Canal directly into Meilong Town. Two small boats followed, one was the boat of the Jie family brothers. Because he had nowhere to go, the eldest brother Jie Liang temporarily decided to follow Jack and the others; as for the younger brother, who was still unconscious in the cabin... ma

The other boat was Yan Yan, who was ranked forty-ninth on the Nine-Nine Warriors List. As for why she followed, she just said: "I don't know" when chatting with Jie Liang on the road. In short, this rare beauty who ranked third among the top ten beauties followed Jack's footsteps.

As for our sword master... he was lying on the boat and groaning. Maybe a three-year-old child holding a knife would say that this scourge on earth can be eliminated now. There is no other reason. Drinking too much is harmful to your health; drinking too much will have disastrous consequences...

"Bang." Although the boat approached the shore carefully, it still had a slight impact and shaking. Of course the hungover man cursed. However, he didn't even curse for more than three words before he was already lying on the side of the boat and vomiting violently, vomiting the yellow bile out of his stomach. I saw that ugly face full of runny nose and drool, lying on the side of the boat... Well, he is definitely a sword master...

"Are you okay?" Yan Yan asked, squatting on the small dock of the channel, while the Jie family brothers were standing behind her. Although Jie Qi's face was very pale, his eldest brother could barely stand while leaning on him. From this, we can see how solid his basic skills are. Even Yan Yan, who is also one of the four famous martial arts masters, has a little admiration. The Jie family's kung fu is indeed well-deserved. Otherwise, most people might not be able to save even the Daluo Jinxian from descending to earth if they take a punch from Jack, let alone just a life-sustaining pill.

But now that Jie Qi looked at Jack's appearance, he couldn't help but cry out for himself. It's not much easier to fight or kill him now, so he got kicked in vain. Watching the matchmaker lift Jack ashore like a child, she bent down and put her shoulders around to support the drunk man. I saw that Jack's toes were slightly touching the ground, and he didn't walk like a drunken person. This was all due to the mismatch between their bodies. Of course, walking like this is extremely uncomfortable for anyone.

"Stop holding me, I'm so sad!" Pushing away the tall beauty beside him, Jack held his fishing rod on his shoulder, trying hard to return to his normal self. He stepped on his right foot with his left foot and fell to the ground with a sound of "Poof!"

The sword master, who was so considerate that he didn't know whether he was dead or alive, didn't make any sound at all.

"Is he still alive?"

"You won't die so easily." Jie Liang responded jokingly to his second brother who was holding his shoulder, and the two looked at each other helplessly. The matchmaker next to her hurriedly helped up Jack who was lying on the ground, and put her hand around her waist... although the proportion was a bit too big. The matchmaker held Jack's opposite shoulder with her other hand and changed into a more comfortable walking position.

The group of people finally got onto the main street of Meilong Town. However, this group of people is really conspicuous when walking on the street. There is a drunkard, a tuber, a slender beauty who can be called a stunning beauty, a giant beauty with a rather spectacular appearance, and there is only one man who is closer to a normal person, and He was still unarmed.

The most conspicuous thing is the warrior order on the tuber and the slim beauty, which is almost a symbol of identity in the southeast. When ordinary people saw the warrior order, they not only asked for tea or food, but also could only grit their teeth and swallow the more excessive requests, and complied with them. Therefore, no one does not want to carry a warrior's command with him, which is majestic and majestic. However, this treasure that symbolizes status only costs ninety-nine yuan in total, not to mention the star Alcyon, which has occupied the top six places from the beginning.

Seeing such a strange group of people, although some people only have respect or fun, there are also many people who want to try their skills to win the warrior order. What's more, there are many people who want to have both wealth and sex, and be happy.

The open lapel revealed iron-like chest muscles, and one arm was as thick as an old pine tree trunk. Dragging a big ax backwards, the strong man with a stubble blocked the way of a group of people. Something is going to happen! Onlookers gathered, and many people hid in corners, waiting for opportunities to take advantage. The matchmaker who was supporting Jack had to stop and looked into the eyes of the big man blocking the way.

After laughing wildly for three times, the big man said loudly: "If you are sensible, hand over all the Martial God Orders! If you are not sensible, the men will lose their heads and the women will take off their pants." As soon as these words came out, the onlookers burst into laughter. On the contrary, the group of people who were stopped looked at me and I looked at you in confusion.

"Listen to my name! I am none other than Zhuang Xiao, the unrivaled Zhuang Xiao who used his ax to cut through the mountains..."

"Sorry, excuse me, I need to go there for a while!" Jack suddenly rushed out and punched the big man straight into the nearby shop. No one knew whether he was alive or dead. After dodging the crowd, the guy who should be the sword master knelt down by the ditch and vomited again.

The sudden change made everyone dumbfounded. A drunkard has such power, and others can't! The crowd dispersed on the spot, no one dared to stay where they were.

As drunk as he is, it seems that there is still a long way to go before he can be defeated. Jie Qi sighed in his heart.

The matchmaker squatting behind Jack gently patted his uncomfortable back, her eyes full of endless tenderness and love. But this is also the best example of playing the piano to a cow. "Did someone block the road just now and say something?" After vomiting for a while, Jack, who felt more comfortable, wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth and asked about irrelevant things.

"Just now? Just treat him as a passerby. There's no need to worry about those idle people." Yan Yan also squatted aside and answered Jack's question.

The man, who was much more awake, was surprised when he saw her. "Why are you still here?"

"Can't you?" Yan Yan pretended to have an innocent expression, but she was very endearing. However, these offensives did not have much effect on the Juggernaut. "Go, go. I'll give you a candy and don't bother me again."

Looking at the black thing handed to her hand, Yan Yan stuffed it into her mouth without thinking. "Ouch, it smells weird." After a while, her face immediately fell down, and she half-sticked out her tongue in pain.

"Go! If you don't mind giving me candy, give it back to me!" He stretched out his hand to ask for something back. Yan Yan also cooperated and took the candy out of her mouth and placed it in Jack's hand. I saw Jack throwing the candy into his mouth smoothly, and then... "vomit~~~"

"I told you it smelled weird, but you still didn't believe it."

"Ugh~~~"

A group of five people headed towards Nanlong Mountain just because Jack was looking for someone.

The mountain road may be the only place in the southeast where boats cannot use their strength. There is no other way but to walk up on two legs. Nanlong Mountain is one of the many famous mountains and wonders in the southeast. There are many strange rocks and strange peaks along the road. The lush woods seem to bring vitality to the entire mountain forest, making people unconsciously attracted to this living mountain. This is also the reason why many literati, poets, hermits and old people like to come to this mountain.

Although the mountain road is rugged, it is not a big problem for martial arts practitioners. The Yan family's mental methods have been ingenious throughout the ages, but Yan Yan is first and foremost elegant, and she is as relaxed and comfortable as a water-colored butterfly when climbing mountains. Jiejia pays attention to the solid basic skills, and the lower body that is trained by the hard-working Kung Fu is also stable when climbing up the mountain. Although there is nothing unique about the matchmaking technique, it is not a big problem if you walk on a mountain road. As for the hungover Juggernaut...the winding mountain road is still quite dangerous.

After spending twice as much time as ordinary women and children, the group finally arrived at Half Moon Lake. Seeing that the sky was getting darker, everyone came to the gathering point of the wine shop and tea house at the narrow part of the lake. Since goods from the north and south, grains, meats and vegetables are not easy to get up the mountain, this place is only for travelers to eat and rest. If you're looking for excitement, go to Meilong Town at the foot of the mountain.

The four of them just followed the swaying Jack, patrolling the gathered shop, back and forth three times in total. A group of people were still wondering in their hearts as to how they could choose a shop where they could take a break and drink tea. They visited three times but still couldn't find a shop that was satisfactory. Finally, Jack took the lead and walked into a shop. Of course, the waiter inside immediately greeted him with a smile.

Before the waiter who came forward could answer, Jack asked first: "Excuse me, why is Xingchanglong, a long-established brand that was originally operating here for more than ten years, missing?"

"Xing Changlong, could it be that one of us, Master Lu, is Xing Changlong who is good at roasting suckling pigs?"

Upon hearing the boy's response, Jack quickly nodded and said yes. Just listen to the waiter continue: "Xing Changlong moved to other places to make a fortune a few years ago. I heard that business is booming in Hui'an Town. People on the top of the mountain don't often have such a big family business."

"Really?" Jack thought thoughtfully, but a headache would not allow him to think more flexibly. After a while, he held his head again and shook his head. "Hey, let's rest here for now. If you have meat and vegetables, you can bring them. I haven't eaten anything since last night. I'm so hungry that I'm turning over and over again." As soon as he said this, countless grateful words came from behind Jack. sight. To be honest, everyone is tired.

"Yes." After cleaning a table, the waiter greeted all the guests to sit down. "Hold on."
