Chapter 97
. Zhang Chi was surprised when asked by the masked woman.
This horse was given by Emei on the way to Jiankang when leaving Huainan City. At that time, there was no third person present except Zhang Chi and Emei, and even Santong and Daoxuan, who were usually alone, did not know what the horse originated. When others saw this horse, they only sighed that the horse was agile and brave. Now the masked woman asked about the origin of the horse. Could it be that she knew Emei and had seen Bai Xue?
Before Zhang Chi could answer, Dao Xuan said first: "Nonsense, this horse was originally my eldest brother Zhang's, why did he steal it?"
The masked woman certainly knew that this horse was the mount of Emei. There was no second such a divine white horse in the world. However, in order to avoid admitting her mistake, she still asked: "Is this horse called Baixue?"
Dao Xuan was also stunned for a moment. He really didn't expect that the masked woman could call Bai Xue's name: "Hey, how do you know?"
"This horse is obviously the mount of Emei in Shu, but he dares to say it was not stolen." The woman looked at Daoxuan coldly: "You are not bad at martial arts, no wonder you steal horses."
The masked woman means that Emei’s martial arts are extraordinary and saints, and only martial arts masters like Daoxuan can steal horses from her. It was originally a compliment, but it was not the case when he heard Daoxuan’s ears. It seemed that the masked woman was sarcasticating Daoxuan. His martial arts were not bad, so it was used to steal horses.
"Bloody mouth squirted!" How could Dao Xuan bear it? He went forward and continued to attack. The masked woman was not afraid of him. The three-foot green sharp edge flowed, and the sword edge was always on Dao Xuan's throat.
The masked woman used murderous moves, all of which were rushing in a small range. Dao Xuan's martial arts were very open and closed, but when facing this woman's martial arts, she always felt that she had no place to use her energy, and she was very angry.
At this time, Zhang Chi shouted: "Stop! Don't hit it first."
Since the masked woman recognized Bai Xue, she might have something to do with Emei, so she should not rush the Dragon King Temple. The impression that Emei left on him was profound, and subconsciously, he had already placed himself and Emei on the same front.
Daoxuan heard Zhang Chi's words the most. He knew that Brother Zhang might have something to say, so he jumped back and decided to stop, but the woman was in power and ignored Zhang Chi at all. Taking advantage of Daoxuan's jumping back, he suddenly took two steps forward, and two swords stabbed him. Daoxuan's body was still in the air, unable to leverage or avoid it. He was immediately cut through the masked woman's sword on his left shoulder.
Daoxuan fell to the ground and said furiously: "Why don't you talk about the morality of a gentleman? I've stopped, why are you still fighting?"
The masked woman pointed at Daoxuan with a sword, without any relaxation of her vigilance, and sneered: "I am a woman, not a gentleman."
Although she had just met this masked woman not long ago, Daoxuan had been speechless by her again and again. She argued angrily and then changed the topic and said, "Your methods are good, but unfortunately they are all murderous activities."
"I'm a way to kill people." The masked woman snorted coldly: "If you don't fight with others easily, you will take your life if you fight."
Although Daoxuan has a high martial arts skills, he has been learning martial arts in Buddhism since he was a child. Although the martial arts in Buddhism emphasize eliminating demons and protecting the Tao, it also emphasizes that it cannot easily hurt people's lives. Therefore, although Daoxuan's martial arts are fierce, he does not seek to kill people with one blow.
Buddhism emphasizes "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot." It always gives people a chance to regret. If you kill someone directly, how can they regret it?
The masked woman is different. Her martial arts and movements do not seek to be beautiful, and her moves do not have the momentum of opening and closing. However, it is better than that, it is an art that exists entirely for the sake of killing people.
"You don't ask if you kill the wrong person, what if you kill the wrong person?" Zhang Chi asked.
The masked woman pondered for a moment, but she had always been willing to revenge, but now it was about Emei, so she was a little more patient than usual, and her tone was still cold: "Then, how did you tell me, stolen this horse?"
It seemed as if someone had recognized that he was a thief, Zhang Chi smiled bitterly: "How did you know that it was stolen by me, but it was not enough for someone else to give it to me?"
Of course the masked woman didn't believe it and sneered, "Why did they give it to you?"
Actually, Zhang Chi didn't know why Emei wanted to save him and why she gave him this good horse. Zhang Chi's character was free and easy, but she never got to be stubborn. Now the masked woman asked, he had to smile and joke: "Maybe the beauty fell in love with me, and maybe she could give the horse to settle down."
"The dog can't spit out ivory!" Such a joke may be nothing wrong with him for modern people, but it is different for the ancients. When the masked woman heard this, she was furious and wanted to use force as soon as she pulled her sword.
How could Daoxuan make her hurt Zhang Chi? He jumped up and blocked Zhang Chi.
Although the masked woman can gain the upper hand with her vicious moves, she also knows that the Dao Xuanwu skills are well-founded, and it is even more difficult to kill Dao Xuan head-on.
"Okay, it's not difficult for me to not kill you. Since you said that this horse was given to you by Emei, would you dare to follow me to a poor family in Shu?"
"A poor family" is something Dao Xuan has never even heard of it, so how could he agree: "You just go if you say you want to go? I won't go."
However, when Zhang Chi heard the word "poor family", his heart trembled. He remembered that when Emei gave him a horse, he once said to him: "You will be in trouble with two words in this life." He asked which two words, and Emei told her solemnly: "poor family".
Even if someone later said that he was Tianji's nursery rhyme, he said: "The secret of heaven appears, the world is rebelling, the leader of the poor family, white horse and blue shirt." If the nursery rhyme is true, he is not only Tianji, but also the leader of the poor family?
Zhang Chi has always not known what the "poor family" refers to. Does this masked woman mean the same thing as drinking Emei?
Zhang Chi has always been bold and usually doesn't care much about the consequences if he wants to do anything. Thinking of this, he quickly slapped Dao Xuan's shoulder and stopped Dao Xuan's words, and then said to the masked woman: "Okay, I'll go to the poor family with you."
The masked woman saw Zhang Chi and agreed to go to the poor family with her, and was unexpectedly surprised: "You better not play tricks, otherwise don't blame me for having no eyes on the sword."
After saying that, he put the sword into the sheath, pulled out her own horse from the forest, and took Zhang Chi Daoxuan, but instead walked into Yong'an City, he walked into the mountains outside the city.
In fact, it was easy for Zhang Chi to escape. Bai Xue was as strong as flying. Who could catch up? It was just that Zhang Chi wanted to see what the "poor family" meant.
Following the masked woman, Zhang Chi thought while walking. He guessed in his heart that the "poor family" might be a organization, but why is this organization called a "poor family"? And what is the relationship between the poor family and Emei? Why does Emei say that he will have constant entanglements with the poor family?
Emei first gave him a white horse, and then there was a folk song "The leader of a poor family, the white horse and the blue shirt". What is the connection between this?
The more Zhang Chi thought about it, the harder he could understand it. He simply didn't think about it. Then he would naturally know that thinking randomly is useless.
"What do you call a lady?" Without thinking about this, Zhang Chi started talking to the masked woman.
The masked woman rode on the horse: "I'm not a lady."
Zhang Chi was disgusted: "Then others always call you, right?"
"Just call me Dark Blade."
Dark Blade, you can tell at a glance that it is not the real name. Zhang Chi thinks this may also be a code name, just like the names like Emei, Shennong he once met.
Zhang Chi knew, but Dao Xuan couldn't understand: "What kind of name is this? It seems that he is also an unknown person."
Daoxuan’s nameless person was meant to say that he would not even tell his real name, but the masked woman did not understand.
"Nobody?" The masked woman sneered. She looked cold all the time, even when she smiled, as if she was born to laugh other than sneer: "The corrupt officials in various counties in Shu are afraid that they will not be able to avoid my name. Do you dare to say that I am no longer a name?"
Daoxuan rolled his eyes. This woman was always unreasonable and answered questions, and was too lazy to pay attention to her.
Zhang Chi hadn't seen Dao Xuan roll his eyes for a long time. When he saw him with this expression before, Dao Xuan always rolled his eyes at him when he had just met him through time. At that time, Zhang Chi thought the monk was kind and cute, but unexpectedly he realized later that this kind and cute little monk had such great martial arts skills.
Now seeing Daoxuan's expression again, I recalled the day when I traveled through time and Jiuxing, and it was like yesterday. I couldn't help but sigh in my heart.
In fact, it has not been long since Zhang Chi traveled through time, and it has been more than two months since his time traveled through time, but now his mood has changed a lot compared to when he first traveled through time.
When he first traveled through time, he just wanted to follow these two monks to go to prosperity and health, and be a scholar. But during this period, he experienced too many changes and saw too many sufferings from the people. From being driven to being driven by Miss Wang to the shelves for no reason, it became a "disclosure" to see the tragedy of cannibalism in Kuaiji County, he suddenly wanted to establish his own power.
Since we have traveled to this era, we have become the "secret of heaven" and the "head of the poor family", then we should be at ease since we come and see what kind of organization the so-called "secret family" is.
After walking in the deep mountains for a long time, I came to a mountain village. The village was no different from the usual village. As soon as I entered the village, an old man had seen it and hurriedly came up and asked, "Why did you go back for a day and a night? Have you ever killed the dog official?"
The masked woman shook her head: "The dog official has deployed heavy troops around him, but she failed. Instead, she was entangled by pursuers in the city. She finally got out of here, so she came back late."
The old man pondered for a moment and sighed: "It's just a pity that he will be more prepared for this time."
Although the masked woman could not see the expression on her face clearly, the old man also felt that she was ashamed and comforted her, "Don't blame yourself, you have to kill the dog official and look for another chance next time."
At this time, the old man also found Zhang Chi and Daoxuan behind the masked woman: "What are these two?"
"These two are horse-stealing thieves. I saw these two people on the way out of the city. Seeing that they were riding BMWs from Emei, they brought them back to the branch to let everyone judge."
The thief seemed to have to wear the hat, and Zhang Chi smiled bitterly.
