Chapter 15 Survival from the Dead
Hu Qingpeng's blood was frozen like falling into an ice cave. His first thought was to rush to escape, but this was like telling the other party clearly that he was guilty of being a thief.
com Qin Tianri did not see his appearance clearly that night, but saw the outline of his back. At that time, he thought he had fallen to death after falling off the cliff. Even if he had doubts in his heart, he was not sure to make sure. Therefore, he had to calm down and dispel the other party's suspicion, and could not take the initiative to show his foot. The more natural he acted, the easier it was to pass this level. Various thoughts flashed in his mind, and boldly met Qin Tianri's gaze and saluted: "Uncle Fourth Master, is there anything that needs the disciple's service?"
Qin Tianri looked at his expression and manner coldly, and his eyes finally fell on his right shoulder, staring at the conspicuous blood stain, and asked directly: "What's the wound on your shoulder?"
Hu Qingpeng gritted his teeth and said, "When I got up in the middle of the night, I was accidentally bitten by a snake. Fortunately, the snake was not poisonous and was only injured by flesh and blood." Although he knew that this reason was far-fetched, he could not think of a better excuse for a while. I guess the other party would not turn against him immediately and force himself into a desperate situation.
Qin Tianri's pupils contracted and he sneered: "Bite by a snake? Really?" With Hu Qingpeng's current skills, how could he be bitten by a snake unless he was attacked by a group of snakes?
Hu Qingpeng said seriously: "Disciples have never lie! Besides, snakes and insects are everywhere on the mountain, and I like to be active at night. Uncle Master should know better than me!"
Qin Tianri's forehead was beating blue veins, thinking he was posing insidiously, and he alluded to the scandal of his late-night activity. His chest was full of murderous intent, and he snorted coldly: "I haven't heard of a disciple of Hengshan who was bitten by a snake in many years. This time, it's rare to see you in a century! Be careful in the future, don't always drill into the dark and secluded corner. What if you step on a poisonous snake?"
Hu Qingpeng bowed and said, "Yes! Disciples must be careful and never repeat the same mistakes. I wonder if the uncle has any other instructions?"
Qin Tianri said: "No more, please take care of yourself!"
Hu Qingpeng watched him walk away respectfully, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh, only to realize that the clothes behind him were soaked in cold sweat. Although he had temporarily dealt with this crisis, Qin Tianri was neither a fool nor an idiot, so how could he easily believe such an excuse? Hu Qingpeng's heart was as clear as a mirror, and he had to be more careful in the future. Qin Tianri would definitely observe his every move in secret. Once the doubts in his heart were confirmed, his death was not far away.
For a period of time after that, Hu Qingpeng lived like a year and could not sleep or eat. After he had achieved success in reciting the "Heart" Sutra, all kinds of sensory and spiritual senses were improved accordingly. He always felt that someone was monitoring him behind his back. He knew who the other party was, and was cautious when doing things, for fear of making any mistakes. Suddenly one day, Qin Tianri received a letter from a friend from the Jianghu River and went down the mountain the next day to go to the appointment.
As Qin Tianri left, Hu Qingpeng couldn't help feeling relieved. After more than ten days, the mountains were calm and calm, and he gradually relaxed his vigilance and returned to his past habits.
One day in early August, Hu Qingpeng went into the mountains alone to chop firewood as usual. The cool breeze was blowing, and the sun was covered with thick shade. Looking around, the green mountains and clear waters were picturesque, making people admire the magic of creation. Hu Qingpeng knew the old horses of the road, and soon found a suitable place, and used axe to fly, completing today's task in three or five seconds. He divided the cut firewood into two piles, tied it with thick ropes, then inserted a wooden stick in the middle, bent over and tried hard, and steadily picked the two bundles of firewood onto his shoulders.
Hu Qingpeng was about to take a step when he suddenly felt the air around him cold, and a dangerous omen hit his heart. He quickly looked around, and there was no strange movement. He listened carefully. A breath of deliberate depression came from the woods in front of the right. He was secretly shocked. How could there be a master ambushing in front of him? Could it be that he was targeting him? As the saying goes, good people don’t come, but the person comes is not kind! He secretly regrets why he didn’t hold a sword when he went out today! If there was a sword in his hand, the situation was very different. Fortunately, the other party didn’t know that his spiritual sense was beyond mortals, and even if he fought, he still had a chance to escape. After thinking about it, pretended to be nothing and walked back along the same path. He wanted to see who was going to make his own idea?
The closer Hu Qingpeng got to the place where the man was ambushing, the stronger the feeling of uneasiness in his heart. He considered all the angles and opportunities for the other party to take action in his mind. The true qi was about to break out.
Suddenly, a black shadow seemed to be a black panther and rushed down from the tree branch without warning. Before the person arrived, he saw cold light flashing, and a steel knife cut through the air and screamed, slashing it hard, and slashing it hard on his head. The sword energy was swept wildly, full of murderous aura, and it was obvious that he wanted to kill his life with one knife.
Hu Qingpeng roared, and his shoulders and back rushed violently. Two large bundles of firewood left the ends of the stick head, rushing towards the person who was attacking. The man had never encountered such a huge weapon in his life, and he didn't expect that Hu Qingpeng's reaction was so fast. Before the steel knife was slashed, the two bundles of firewood had already hit hard. The angle that he had to kill was blocked. He was so angry that he smoked his nostrils, and even though he died, he couldn't figure out why the perfect assassination plan was ineffective. He took a little bit on the firewood, and jumped high with the force, and flashed through the impact.
At this moment, Hu Qingpeng appeared quietly under his body, and the wooden stick in his hand turned into a green dragon, stabbing his lower abdomen and dantian.
The man sneered, and the blade cut back and sealed the attack route of the long stick. Seeing the swords and sticks intersect, Hu Qingpeng's wrist suddenly shook and used the tricks in the "Demon-Subduing Stick Technique". The long stick seemed to be east and west, as if advancing and retreating, cleverly avoiding the interception of the steel knife, and with a bang, he hit the opponent's calves heavily.
The man didn't expect that Hu Qingpeng could use the rare stick technique in the world at such a young age. He underestimated the enemy and was hit by the left leg, which was heartbroken. He screamed and flew more than three feet away, hitting the ground with one foot, posing as a "golden rooster". But his left leg couldn't help but twitch slightly, and he was so awkward that he looked. He was wearing black masked face, his eyes were cold and vicious, and he looked at it carefully and felt a little embarrassed and angry. He pointed the tip of the knife and was about to rush on and fight at any time.
Hu Qingpeng guessed the identity of the other party at the moment of fighting. Although he saw his posture very ridiculous, he was not as joking as he was slightly closed behind his elbow, pressed his waist tightly, and pointed his front foot, and put the "Chuangtian Gate" gesture, and said coldly: "Your Masked in the Sky and White Sun, do you know that you are despicable and dare not see anyone?"
The man angrily raised his teeth and gritted his teeth and said, "You are so sharp-tongued! I will tear you into pieces and chop you into meat sauce and feed it to the dog!"
Hu Qingpeng sighed lightly: "Uncle Fourth Master, do you and I have any deep hatred? Why do you have to kill me?"
The man trembled all over and sneered, "I can't understand what you are talking nonsense!"
Hu Qingpeng said: "Uncle Fourth Master, although you blindfolded your face and deliberately changed your voice, your figure and eyebrows cannot change. I recognized you at a glance. Whether you admit it or not, since you want to kill me, you should let me know the reason for being killed, right?" After he developed the ability to become aware of the sky, as long as the person who had met him had ever met him, even if he had disguised himself or covered his face, he could not hide his eyes with his sensible eyes. Moreover, after counting, there were only three people who had reason to assassinate him, and Qin Tianri was the most suspected. Since the other party had tear his face, he could not pretend to be deaf and dumb, so he could just open the skylight and say something.
Qin Tianri was silent for a while, and returned to his original voice and said, "Haha, Hu Qingpeng, it seems that I still underestimate you! Who are you? Why do you use martial arts tricks from other sects? Could it be that you have ulterior motives to secretly learn Hengshan sword technique? You honestly explain it to me today and don't hide anything!"
Hu Qingpeng said: "If you want to add a crime, you have no choice! Fourth Master Uncle, I am loyal to the Hengshan Sect, and only heaven can show my fault. I am not afraid of you slandering people! I asked myself that I have never offended you, why did you secretly attack me?"
Qin Tianri said gloomyly: "If you don't say secret words, you don't have to pretend to be confused! Your eyes see things you shouldn't see, so you must die!"
Hu Qingpeng was secretly surprised. He asked himself that he had been covering up very well. How could he know that the other party had discovered the flaw? What was wrong? He pretended to be puzzled: "Qingpeng's daily routine is carried out step by step and never inquire about others. Did his uncle listen to other people's slander and misunderstand me?"
Seeing that he denied it, Qin Tianri couldn't help but hesitate and frowned and said, "Has you really not followed me?"
Hu Qingpeng quickly shook his head and said, "Of course not!" Although the sages advocate that gentlemen treat people honestly, they must look at the target and cannot stick to the rules. If they do not know how to adapt to changes and copy them, they are pedantic literati.
Qin Tianri said: "How do I know whether what you are saying is true or false? If you are open-minded, don't act as a warning to keep others from hiding thousands of miles away. Put down the wooden stick in your hand first, and let's have a good talk."
How could Hu Qingpeng be fooled easily? He shook his head and said, "Uncle Master refused to withdraw his sword, but asked Qingpeng to withdraw his attack first. Isn't it fair? Besides, this place is a barren mountain and rarely visited. My martial arts skills are far from being a match for Uncle Master. Who can guarantee my life safety? Uncle Master, although I am young, I know the principle of keeping my mouth tight. I will never tell the third person today to listen to it, just pretend that nothing has happened." As he said, he slowly retreated and opened the distance between the two.
Qin Tianri shouted: "Stop! Don't move!"
Hu Qingpeng smiled and said, "Please forgive me for your crime. I'm going to take a step first!" Before he finished speaking, the man was like a big roc spreading his wings and flew into the air. Even if Qin Tianri made a poisonous oath on the spot, Hu Qingpeng would not dare to take the risk of trusting the other party. After all, no one here testified. Who knows whether he would follow his words and hide his knife in his smile? Thirty-six strategies are the best strategy. Let's escape back to the villa first. I'm sorry he dare not commit crimes in a crowded place.
Qin Tianri was both angry and angry. This kid was so clever. He pulled his feet away when he had the chance, making his wishful thinking go to nothing! In fact, he had already found out that Hu Qingpeng claimed to have sprained his shoulder and closed the door to cultivate. It was undoubtedly a coincidence in time! Moreover, Hu Qingpeng's back was very similar to what he remembered, and the new injury on his right shoulder was even more proof, so he concluded that Hu Qingpeng was the masked man that night. He had already made careful arrangements when he sneaked back to Hengshan this time. When he saw the other party running wildly, he immediately took a knife to catch up with him.
Hu Qingpeng used the crane dance light skills, as if flying over the top of the tree. Suddenly, a murderous aura rose in front of him, and Hu Qingpeng moved his body at will, changing direction quickly in a hurry, dancing wildly with a long stick, using the ultimate trick of subduing the demon stick method to attack. He was shocked, how could there be a second person ambushing the forest? Could it be the Sixth Master Uncle?
At the same time he was out of the stick, a sword light suddenly appeared on his dense branches and leaves, as if a long rainbow penetrated the sun, and he rushed to Hu Qingpeng's flying figure with boundless murderous aura. Wherever the sword energy passed, countless green leaves peeled off the branches, and tightly wrapped a black figure rushed straight into the sky. Although the man was also covered in black, his figure was concave and convex. Who else was besides Liu Tianyue?
Liu Tianyue was also surprised when the long stick hit him on the head. Hu Qingpeng was able to take the lead and make a move with half a beat. It seemed that his mind was not simple. He stretched out his left claw and grabbed the poked stick, and his right sword quickly cut his opponent's finger.
Hu Qingpeng immediately abandoned his stick, sank a little bit of the shaking branch, and rushed to escape from the opponent's attack range. Suddenly, he felt a severe pain in his vest and was kicked hard by his opponent. The alien true energy lurking in his body immediately automatically protected his vitals, offsetting Liu Tianyue's internal strength by seven or eight. The energy was resurgent, and Hu Qingpeng spat out a mouthful of blood in the air, and the castration was even more urgent, and in a blink of an eye it had already escaped seven or eight feet away. He knew that martial arts were not on the same level as others, and if he was entangled too much, he would undoubtedly die, so if he could escape, he would never be in love with the fight.
Liu Tianyue used 50% of his internal force to kick out, thinking that he could kill Hu Qingpeng on the spot, but he was only injured and vomited blood, and he still jumped like flying, and his toes were numb. He was surprised in his heart, how could the internal force of an eighth-generation disciple be so profound? This is so abnormal! When he was slightly surprised, Hu Qingpeng ran forward several feet, and was immediately shocked and angry, and he rose up and chased Qin Tianri.
Hu Qingpeng gritted his teeth and rushed hard, but he could not shake off the murderous aura behind him. The last time he was able to escape successfully was mainly because the night was dark and forested at that time, and he had the opportunity to use his strengths of the heavenly eye. But this time he was not so lucky. The only advantage he relied on was useless during the day. As long as the other party chased him closely, he would soon be able to catch up smoothly with his profound skills. He had to be on the risk and survived in death to win the chance to survive!
He chopped wood for many years and knew the terrain in the mountains. He took a shortcut to the direction of the villa and ran at full speed, hoping to meet his fellow disciples halfway to scare away the pursuers. However, Qin Tianri and others were afraid of running into the disciples of the fellow disciples to reveal their secrets. They became more and more like flying, and they chased them closer and closer. They wanted to kill this young man who had many unexpected situations immediately.
Both sides chased and fled, crossed two hills one after another, and could see the red walls and green tiles of Hengshan Jianshe Villa from afar.
Hu Qingpeng's internal energy was almost exhausted at this time, and he could not escape back to the villa to take refuge. He lamented in his heart, and suddenly changed to fly to the left as planned, and in a moment he came to a cliff. There was no way out at this time, so he stopped suddenly and looked back. The blue sky behind him was as clear as the forest waves were rising and falling, and the scenery was magnificent and moving.
Qin Tianri and Liu Tianyue didn't understand why he was in a desperate situation, so they also fell to the ground with deep feet and exchanged a surprised look, forming a horn-encircling from left to right, and the sword rose up and slowly approached. Qin Tianri grinned and said, "You run, why don't you run? I see if you can still grow wings and fly into the sky!"
Hu Qingpeng said calmly: "I say it again, I saw nothing! This is a misunderstanding."
Qin Tianri smiled and said, "At this point, do you still want to lie to me? Your lightness skills and body skills cannot be hidden from my eyes!"
Hu Qingpeng shrugged and said, "If you don't believe me, I can't do anything. The two of you chased me all the way, forcing me to come up with this bad plan! If you still refuse to let go, come with me!" After that, he suddenly jumped out and jumped off the cliff.
Qin Tianri and the others rushed to the edge of the cliff, and saw that the cliff was towering, more than twenty feet above the ground. At the bottom was a turbulent stream, with tall trees growing beside the stream, like rows of neat soldiers. Looking down from a high place, the stretching forest could not be seen at a glance. Hu Qingpeng was drawing a graceful arc and landing on the woods.
Qin and Liu were stunned and then they understood why Hu Qingpeng escaped here and had to look at him with admiration. Anyone jumped from a height of more than twenty feet, no matter how skilled his light skills were, his strength was quite fierce when he landed. At the very least, his leg was broken, and at the worst he vomited blood and died. Although Hu Qingpeng had seen the place with trees jumping down, if he had not had extraordinary courage and extraordinary courage, who would dare to take this risk? If the wind suddenly changed, his landing point deviated slightly and hit the hideous boulder by the stream, he would immediately end up being broken into pieces.
Hu Qingpeng jumped into the air and spread his arms, using the crane dancing in the sky, relaxing his muscles all over his body, gliding down with the wind, as if a giant crane was swooping into the dense forest. In just a few blinks, he had landed above the trees, and his hands and feet suddenly contracted into a ball shape, violently hitting the huge trunk, rolling and falling, crackling and crackling, and broke many branches, quickly sank into the sea of trees and disappeared.
Qin Tianri and the others looked at each other, and no one had the courage to learn from Hu Qingpeng's behavior of committing suicide. Seeing the cooked ducks flying again, they stomped their feet resentfully and slid down the cliff. After a delay, when they found the place where Hu Qingpeng fell, they only saw blood-stained branches and messy fallen leaves. The people were as vast as clouds and cranes, and there was no trace.
Qin Tianri gritted his teeth and said, "Damn it, let this kid escape again! If he runs back and sue, we will be in trouble!"
Liu Tianyue made a quick decision and said, "I will immediately cut off his route back to the village. You can stay nearby and search carefully, and find the place where he hides as soon as possible!"
Chapter completed!
