After sitting in the teahouse for a while, Zhang Ling walked outside with tea. There was an endless stream of people coming and going, but he still felt a little cold. He rolled up his sleeves and drank tea from the teapot. He didn't seem to feel hot at all.
Zhang Ling looked at the shining river and asked Song Linjie next to him: "Where have you been recently?"
Song Linjie said with a smile: "Let's fight! Didn't you say that the guest officials in those big families are very powerful? So I asked around one by one and found more than a dozen families. There are indeed many masters."
Zhang Ling then asked: "How is it? What is the outcome?"
Song Linjie sighed and said: "I won all nine games against the third grade, fought five against the second grade, and only won once. I met a first grade, but I also lost."
Each of the four realms of martial arts is a world of difference. Among the first level, through the ages, few people can cross the border to kill. Even if they are below the first level, there is a big gap every time they cross one level, and each level has To make a fine division, ordinary people refer to the seven orifices as external orifices, and martial arts practitioners refer to the six orifices as internal orifices. In fact, there are a total of 365 acupoints in the human body. Depending on the individual's martial arts practice route, some acupoints need to be broken through. In order to advance to the next level, the most difficult task is to open up all the acupoints. It is rare to be able to become invincible at the same level by oneself without resorting to external force, let alone leapfrog. From this, it can be seen that Zhang Ling The man in front of me is truly a leader among his peers.
The next moment, Zhang Ling stepped forward quickly, stepping on the lanterns on the river and quickly crossed to the opposite side.
…
The sky was getting dark, and neither the moonlight nor the lights could illuminate the dark alley, but I could barely see the road clearly. A handsome-looking scholar came back from outside the city, just in time to catch up with the city gate closing, and walked through the dark alley, intending to go back. When they went to rest in the shabby room, three dandies in rich clothes blocked their way. Not long ago, the scholar wrote an article "On Misleading the Country". One of the people who mentioned the dandy in it happened to be the group of dandies from the aristocratic family. After being introduced by others, , the article was highly praised in the official circles, and at the same time it attracted the jealousy of many dandy men. In more than ten days, this was the twenty-first time that they deceived them. There were also people in the official circles who wanted to shade him, but they were all deceived. He refused. He leaned down and put the book in his hand aside, although the book would still be torn into pieces every time. He curled up and waited for this group of dandies, who he thought were ridiculous, to express his anger.
Through the dim light, one could clearly see a dandy with a white jade hanging around his waist saying angrily: "Ren Pingsheng, you are really good. A pariah dared to write an article like "On Misusing the Country". Do you know who you offended? "
The scholar named Ren Pingsheng was still curled up. He knew that these people were not afraid of killing him, but they would inevitably cause trouble, so every time they just punched and kicked them and then left proudly. He said calmly: "Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs Li Ya’s eldest son Li Yuan, I don’t know the names of the other two, he should be your follower.”
The other two dandies who were not looked down upon were angry and about to take action, but they were stopped by Li Yuan, a dandy wearing a white jade belt. He sneered and said: "I know the person I have offended. I am kind and will not care about you. Now get under our crotch and let you go. I heard that you still have some talent, so I will give you a chance to be a guest of my Li family. Don't worry, I won't treat you badly."
Ren Pingsheng glanced at him, showing no emotion. He was even laughing at this playboy who had nothing to offer except his family background. He just wanted to avoid showing his emotions in order to receive a lighter punishment. Feeling that the three dudes were being looked down upon, they were instantly angry. Li Yuan said angrily: "You are so ungrateful. Beat me to death."
When the other two heard Li Yuan's commanding tone, they were filled with resentment. If it weren't for your father, it would be your turn to be aggressive with us. Even if he is the main cause of troubles, they already don't want to interact with him. But if they don't accept it, they won't accept it. The higher official rank will kill people, and their father wants them to interact more with the son of the minister, so that they can have a better career in the officialdom. The two dandies who looked like lackeys stepped forward and punched the squatting scholar. But just when the two fists were less than two inches away from the scholar, the two hands were suddenly tightly grasped. Before they could see clearly, The man's face and body were pulled by a force and he was thrown away.
Li Yuan, who had just reacted, was shocked. He watched the two childhood friends being thrown away without paying attention. He only stared at the person who threw them out and angrily shouted: "Who are you? How dare you cheat?" Are you impatient with this matter with me?"
The person who threw the two dandies out was Zhang Ling. He picked up his clothes that were a little messy due to the excessive force, squatted down and asked the scholar: "Are you feeling aggrieved?"
The curled-up scholar slowly loosened his arms and replied without changing his expression: "A man can bend and stretch."
Feeling ignored, Li Yuan was angry and angry, but he was not stupid. He knew that if he took action, he would not be the opponent of the young man who had intervened. Li Yuan calmed down his anger and calmly said: "Li Yuan, the eldest son of the Minister of Civil Affairs, look. Xiongtai's attire must be that he is a member of a high family, he has been nothing but a commoner all his life, it is really unwise for Xiongtai to stand up for such a lowly person!"
Zhang Ling and Ren Pingsheng, who were squatting, never raised their heads to look at him. The two dandies who staggered to their feet stood behind Li Yuan and encouraged: "Brother Li, this kid is so ignorant, he should be taught a lesson."
Li Yuan rolled his eyes at them. He knew clearly that the young man was very skilled and still encouraged him. He was indeed a hyena that should not be befriended. He raised his hand and said to Zhang Ling: "Since my brother wants to protect him, I have to give him some face. Let's say goodbye."
The two dudes still wanted to speak, but Li Yuan glared at him again. Although he was respectful on the outside, what he was thinking about was going back to investigate his identity. If he was just a small family, and he was slapped in the face like this today, It will bring disaster to his whole family. If he is really a man who can control the sky with one hand, the worst thing is to live without contact until death. Being a dandy in a place like the capital, unless you are a prince, otherwise you can't be a dandy for a few days if you don't have the eyesight. This is only the dandy in the capital. experience of.
The three dudes turned around and left, but were suddenly kicked back. They lay on the ground and looked at the person who kicked them. He was also a young man. Li Yuan stood up slowly, with murderous intent hidden in his eyes. He said in a deep voice: "Are you planning to fight to the end? Do you still want to kill us? Do you know what the consequences will be?"
Zhang Ling helped the scholar up, looked at Song Linjie who had arrived late, and said, "What do you think?"
Song Linjie calmly asked: "How about killing him?"
Zhang Ling shook his head: "It will be very troublesome to find out about us."
The three dandies looked at the two men discussing the matter of killing so casually, and felt bad. They slowly moved back and were about to turn around and start running again. A flash of silver light flashed, and a thick and consistent line was cut on the throats of the three of them at the same time. There were blood stains, and he fell back heavily.
A young man holding a spear stood in front of them. Zhang Ling looked directly at him and said, "Is there anyone else involved in this matter today?"
Ren Pingsheng, who had been silent all this time, became slightly emotional and said his name: "Academy disciple, Liu Yuancheng, as far as I know, he is the eldest son of Liu Xinmu, Ninglongshan, a martial arts family. His disciple has the unique spear-wielding skills of Hushan Qianshan, and has a spear in his hand. The spear has a red dragon coiled body and a copper snake-patterned edge, named Dragon Snake. It was forged by Yang Qingshan, the master of weapon refining."
Song Linjie held the Heaven Forging Sword and said excitedly: "That's a master!"
Tuitian unsheathed it and swung it down towards Liu Yuancheng, who was holding the dragon-snake spear. Liu Yuancheng raised his true energy, and the blade of the spear collided with the Tuitian knife, and both of them stepped back a foot.
Liu Yuancheng frowned and shouted softly: "You must be sick, come up and take action."
Song Linjie was still unwilling to give up. He flicked his fingers on the Sky Forging Sword and kept whispering. Then the two of them fought again, gradually going deeper into the alley, and soon they broke out into the deep alley and started fighting on a street with few people.
Zhang Ling picked up the books for the scholar, put them in his arms, smiled and asked, "Where do you live?"
