The reason why Aguo Dabao laughed when he was about to die was because he thought that Changsheng had been poisoned and would be buried with him. He never thought that Changsheng would actually condense thick ice on his hands to block his bone-corrosive poison.
Seeing the black poison attached to Changsheng's hands falling off as the ice shattered, Aguo Dabao was so angry that he suddenly died, his eyes were wide open, and he refused to close his eyes.
Chang Sheng had fought dozens of battles, and this was the first time he killed someone. Only then did everyone in the audience react, whispering and discussing.
Ni Dafu was also quite surprised when Chang Sheng suddenly struck the killer. He was stunned for a moment before he came to his senses and sounded the gong, "Taoist Priest Sansheng of Longhu Mountain has won thirty-seven games in a row."
Chang Sheng was not the first time to kill someone, but this was the first time he took the initiative to kill someone. He felt a little uneasy and breathed slowly, concentrating and calming his mind.
Someone has to clear the place after a dead person. Two servants came on stage again to take away the body, but as soon as they got close to the body, they both screamed and backed away.
Changsheng turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw two red venomous snakes emerging from the skin of Aguo Dabao's arms. They were already halfway out. After being disturbed, they raised their heads in demonstration and swallowed the snake's message.
Before that, he had always thought that the two poisonous snakes on Aguo Dabao's arms were tattoos. Only then did he realize that the two poisonous snakes were actually real. In addition to poisonous snakes, there were also spiders, centipedes and other poisonous things coming from Aguo Dabao. The body crawled up and out.
"There are highly venomous snakes and insects on the corpse," one of the servants shouted to Ni Dafu.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was in an uproar. Regarding this competition to recruit a bride, the master's family did not have many restrictions. They only did not poison and use hidden weapons. Aguo Dabao actually tried to poison. No wonder Changsheng would take his life.
Ni Dafu wanted to delay, so he shouted to the two servants, "Go and get the household utensils and clean up those poisonous insects."
The two nodded in agreement, turned around and walked off the stage.
At this moment, a woman in red jumped out of the crowd from a distance, stepping on the heads and shoulders of the onlookers and rushing toward the ring.
Changsheng recognized the woman in red. She was a fellow student of Aguo Dabao. She was the one who injured Chen Liqiu on the night of the incident.
Seeing this person rushing towards him, Changsheng suddenly became vigilant, gathered his energy and concentration, and prepared for the attack.
Ni Dafu also guessed from the clothes of the two that they were either husband and wife or from the same sect. He was afraid that this person would come to the stage to seek revenge, so he rang the gong eagerly, "We compete to recruit relatives. Life and death are determined by destiny. Family members of the same sect cannot seek revenge."
The woman in red ignored Ni Dafu and jumped straight onto the ring. When she saw two poisonous snakes emerging from Aguo Dabao's arms, she knew that he had died and let out a terrifying scream.
Because the woman in red stepped on the heads and shoulders of the spectators and rushed to the ring, she was yelling and cursing everywhere she went. The screams she heard were shrill and frightening. Everyone who was still yelling and cursing kept silent, lest she would go crazy with anger. Injury to innocent people.
However, although the woman in red was furious, she did not rush over to fight Chang Sheng. Instead, she took off a cloth bag from her waist, collected the poisonous insects including the two poisonous snakes, and then carried Aguo Dabao's body on her back. Jump off the stage.
"Sufferer, go slow," Ni Dafu said loudly, "My family wants to tell me that if he dies unfortunately, he will receive a pension of 800 taels."
Hearing Ni Dafu's words, the woman in red turned her head angrily, gritted her teeth and cursed, "I'll save it to buy you a coffin."
Hearing what she said, Ni Dafu didn't answer and let her leave with the body on her back. Everyone was afraid that she was poisonous, so they stepped aside and gave way.
"Wipe off the blood and clean the arena." Ni Dafu said.
As soon as Ni Dafu finished speaking, someone in the distance spoke loudly, "What is supposed to come will come sooner or later, don't delay."
Everyone followed the sound and turned to look south, only to see a hunchbacked man wearing rags and rags limping towards the ring.
Since this person was wearing a hundred-pin robe, Chang Sheng's first reaction was that this person was a disciple of the Beggar Clan. However, there was no yellow patch of Beggar Clan disciples on this person's chest, which meant that he was not a Beggar Clan disciple.
This person had probably not bathed for a long time. His hair was dirty and tangled, and his face was covered with dirt. It was difficult to determine his exact age. He was roughly in his thirties. He came forward with bare hands and no weapons.
At this time, the person coming was still more than ten feet away from the ring. Changsheng took the opportunity to look at this person. There is a saying in the market, a lame person is cruel, a bald person is stupid, and a mute fights with his life. This person is not only a lame, but also a hunchback, and he is filthy and slovenly. His temperament must be different from ordinary people.
After careful inspection, Changsheng discovered some clues. He was originally a lame, and he knew very well how a lame walks. To a normal person, it would be awkward for a lame to walk with a limp, but for a lame who is used to walking with a limp, , walking with a limp is not awkward, just like a normal person walking. However, the lame man who is walking towards the ring looks unfamiliar and awkward when walking, which shows that he is not a person who has been lame for a long time.
The lame man walked down the stage and climbed up the stairs, keeping his eyes on Changsheng as he walked.
When the lame man looked at Changsheng, Changsheng was also looking at him. The man's eyes gave him a feeling of déjà vu. It was not that he had seen this person before, but that he had seen eyes similar to this person's eyes before.
Just as Changsheng was recalling and searching in his mind, Ni Chenyi on the gatehouse pulled off the red silk on his head and stood up. He shouted to Ni Dafu, "Monks and beggars come from all walks of life. You let everyone come on stage. What do you think of me?" ?”
Ni Chenyi suddenly got angry, and Ni Dafu was quite frightened, "Miss, please calm down. Miss, please calm down."
Seeing that Ni Dafu couldn't explain the reason, Ni Chenyi turned around and said loudly to Changsheng, "A good person will be bullied by others, and a good horse will be ridiculed by others. Sansheng, you are not allowed to be merciful anymore. You kill the last one, and see who dares." Provocative and offensive!”
Changsheng turned around when he heard the sound and glanced at Ni Chenyi. Outsiders didn't know why, but he knew very well that Ni Chenyi was not really angry, but took the opportunity to take the responsibility on himself, because Ni Chenyi had also seen the talisman and knew that he What to do next. After fighting for a day, he didn't show any cruelty, but when it came to Shen Shi, he suddenly started killing people, and he killed the last one. The people behind the scenes would definitely doubt whether he had been instructed by someone, and Ni Chenyi took the responsibility with such a shout. This way, the people behind the scenes would not suspect that the emperor was taking the opportunity to weaken their strength.
When Ni Chenyi shouted like this, the emperor should be the happiest. He was completely cleared of suspicion. Ni Chenyi was worthy of being the daughter of the richest man in the Tang Dynasty and had inherited her father's intelligent blood.
After one glance, Changsheng looked away. At this time, the lame man was about to step onto the ring. He was not walking fast and looked quite awkward when lifting his legs.
The eyes, the eyes, the more Chang Sheng looked at them, the stronger his feeling became. He was sure that he must have seen similar eyes at some time.
After the lame man stepped onto the ring, he walked straight towards Changsheng. The closer he got to him, the more determined his eyes became.
Yes, it is perseverance, the perseverance to risk one's life. Chang Sheng instantly found a similar look in his mind. That day, in order to buy time for him and Chen Liqiu outside Chang'an City, Tan Huaiqing and his four men had this look when they turned around to attack the pursuers. .
This lame man came to power with the intention of dying, and he was determined to die together with him.
After foreseeing the lame man's thoughts, Chang Sheng began to frown and look at the man. The eyes of the qi practitioner were different from those of ordinary people. There was a bright light in the eyes of the qi practitioner, but there was no such look in the eyes of the lame man. And after only walking a short distance, there were beads of sweat on this man's forehead.
While he was looking at the lame man, the lame man was striding closer. As the distance approached, Chang Sheng smelled the smell of the lame man. In addition to the sour odor of the beggar, there was also a special smell. With this special smell, he actually There is also a sense of deja vu.
At this time, the lame man was no more than five steps away from him. In a normal martial arts competition, the distance between the two sides before starting should be about one foot, which is three large steps. However, the lame man had no intention of slowing down and was still striding forward.
As the distance shortened, the smell of the lame man also became stronger. Changsheng instantly recalled where he had smelled that special smell. On that day, the six masters and apprentices settled in an inn in Muping County, and Li Zhongyong secretly deduced Mo in the house. The result was a violent shock. At that time, he opened the door to check, and this was the smell he smelled from the corridor. It was the smell of gunpowder.
Qianjin Yifang has records about gunpowder. The method of making gunpowder is called the sulfur fire method. The power of gunpowder is also recorded in the book. This thing can explode and explode. Chen Liqiu also said that the second son Li Zhongyong When I was in Qizhou, I blew up someone else's inn because of improper operation.
At this time, the lame man had walked to the opposite side of him, clenching his teeth and raising his right foot high.
Thinking of how weird the lame man's previous walking posture was, Chang Sheng instantly guessed that the trigger mechanism was on his right foot. How dare he hesitate at the critical moment of life and death? Before the lame man's right foot landed, he turned around and exerted his strength, kicking the lame man away. Get out, "Get out of the way!"
Just when everyone in the audience was puzzled as to why he broke the rules and took action first, the lame man fell rapidly from a high place. The moment he hit the ground, there was an explosion, sending sand and rocks flying, and the ground shook.
Due to Chang Sheng's loud warning, everyone in the audience heard the sound and evaded, but even so, everyone could not escape intact. Everyone within a radius of more than ten feet was affected. The lame man was not actually a hunchback, but pretending to be carrying a hunchback. A large amount of gunpowder was used, and after the explosion, a deep pit measuring three feet square was left on the ground, and no less than a hundred people were injured.
The incident happened suddenly, and the audience was instantly in chaos. The injured people screamed for help in pain, and the onlookers ran away in panic.
Changsheng couldn't do anything in the ring and could only stay where he was. Although he was lucky, he was still frightened and frightened. If he hadn't reacted in time and dealt with it properly before, he would have been dead now.
Just when Ni Dafu was busy maintaining order and assigning his servants to go out to rescue people, a shout of encouragement drowned out the noise in the field, "Situ Yanggang of Zhuque Villa has come to learn some clever tricks..."
