The sinking knife was swung, the green blade fell, and the cold light flashed alternately strong and weak. Even with the martial arts attainments of the martial arts heroes present, they could not intervene in this terrifying decisive battle.
In the endless rain curtain, only two figures flickered up. The sound of swords clashing was accompanied by the increasingly violent rain. The fierce killing intent could be felt even from a distance. I could see the swords and swordsmanship intertwining and overlapping, like a giant python. The golden scales circled and squirmed, causing tens of thousands of tons of rainwater to fall from the sky. The rumble drowned all senses including the human ears and eyes, filling the slightly crowded space between heaven and earth in Guangzhou City.
But the reason is not because the martial arts in this duel are so superb that they are like a dragon hiding in the clouds, with no scales and claws visible, or the tactics are so new that they have never been seen before and are jaw-dropping. On the contrary, although the two men's moves have been completely changed due to the repeated training, they can still see the clues of integrating hundreds of schools of thought and creating a new world.
——In just a few moves, you can still see the charm of the Bagua Dao, the Qiankun Dao, the Tai Chi Dao, and the Plum Blossom Dao. You can also see the essence of the Taiyi Sword, the Eight Immortals Sword, the Xuan Gong Sword, and the Long Hua Sword, and the complicated martial arts world. There are all kinds of weapons in their hands.
What is really frightening is that at this time, there are faint thunders and heavy rains in the sky and the earth. The divine power has filled the infinite and supreme void in the sky and the earth. The two people are facing a desperate duel, but their moves are suspected to be caused by the master between them. The origin of the door seems to be extremely familiar to the heart, and there is no chance to reveal it. The mystery and mystery have taken away a trace of the charm between heaven and earth.
That's a murderous plan!
The majestic terrain of heaven suddenly appeared in front of us, but the two people who were fighting with swords and swords took over the escaped part by mistake, taking away the last position on the stage of heaven and earth, and magnifying the general trend beyond moves and martial arts to the extreme. No one can take away the sharp edge in front of you! Everyone didn't know how to describe it, but the intuition of martial arts practitioners told them that if they broke in rashly at this time, he would definitely die!
Chen Jialuo Yi stood in the heavy rain, watching the battle of fighting beasts in the distance with all his strength. He only felt that there was a surge of anger in his chest. He was full of anger but couldn't find a place to vent, let alone the one on the opposite side. You will encounter evenly matched opponents.
Looking around, he was definitely not the only one who felt like this. Everyone was clearly infected by the murderous intent and dragons and snakes rising from the land. They were as old as the old man from the Qingqi Gang, and the women were like the woman in red, who was seriously injured. For example, Wen Tailai, the fourth master, had in his eyes the courage to fight to the death, and the world's most unparalleled courage - in the face of such peerless majesty of heaven and earth, only the most refined and pure martial arts can still be brave, and finally Act like a mantis with courage.
Blood spilled from the corners of Chen Jialuo's mouth, which was because he was biting his lip and tongue to maintain his inner clarity.
At this time, his mind was spinning, and he suddenly remembered his uncle's words before leaving, which had clearly stated that there would be a "man in common clothes and a belt" to imitate the "white rainbow penetrating the sun" during this trip.
The uncle said that he would be the only true assassin in the world, but now the assassin with a golden face was blocked by an equally powerful hand, barely clearing the way forward, but he didn't know how to continue his plan to assassinate Shang Kexi. .
After thinking about it, Chen Jialuo did not act rashly, but the martial arts heroes could no longer hold back the killing intent surging in their hearts. They stood up and passed by the two fighting swordsmen, and ran into the Japanese pirates who were preparing to attack.
There is no problem with this choice, because at this time, except for the two people who are fighting fiercely in front of them, everyone knows that the enemy is still hiding in the Chinese army's tent. The only way is to kill until the blood-stained flags and sacrifice their heads to the sky. Today's decisive battle Fighting makes sense.
The swords, blood, and shadows appeared in front of my eyes. It was hard to tell whether it was the blood of the enemy or the blood of my comrades. The screams were covered up by the majestic torrential rain. All I could see in my eyes were expressions deformed by anger and passion, and the original martial arts abandoned. After cultivating the pretense of body and mind, there is nothing more naked than the murderous intention.
Across the heavy rain, Chen Jialuo saw with his own eyes one after another Japanese pirates who were impatient because they were about to arrive. They suddenly cut off a piece of flesh from his own arm with a knife, using the severe pain to numb the fierce murderous intention in his heart. This made him feel sad. The doubts became more intense.
This was by no means a state of mind that ordinary Japanese pirates could have, and details that confirmed that Chen Jialuo's worries were true soon appeared again.
I saw two masters using palms to strike directly with horizontal fists. Their arms were stretched out as if they had been stretched two feet out of thin air. They were heavily imprinted on the Japanese pirate's dark clothing, making the opponent unprepared and vomiting blood and retreating. The heavy attack was fatal. There is no reason to survive.
But before the tyrannical palm power could be withdrawn, the injured Japanese pirate was already bouncing up with a strange cry, pointing the long knife in his hand towards the sky, and Duotou smashed the two martial arts masters in half from the shoulders to the waist!
The blood mist flew away in fear, making the little Japanese pirate's expression look particularly ferocious, but the bright silver blade shone like a feast, without a trace of color, a martial arts man who suffered a big loss in the first fight. Immediately alert, Taoist Master Wuchen, who was holding a sword, and Yang Chengxie, who was holding a flagpole, faced the enemy to resist the opponent's reverse charge.
Everyone knows that the people facing us are real elites, no ordinary Japanese warriors!
At present, we are the first to defeat the two people, and they have already fallen into an unexpected and bitter battle. Judging from the current situation, the previous actions of Taoist Wuchen and the sword master were also because they had already noticed the abnormality of the other party, so they took the risk unintentionally. Taoist Master Chen went to try the move, and then asked the sword master to break the move.
The two of them seemed to be fighting against each other, but in fact they had exhausted their caution of attacking later and anticipating the enemy's opportunity.
Chen Jialuo suddenly felt an extremely uneasy feeling in his heart. Some rumors that had been circulating in the family for hundreds of years were bothering him. The current obscure clues also made it difficult for him to sit still. Therefore, he decided to test it himself, and finally found it in the heavy rain. He soared into the air, showing his extremely superb Qinggong skills.
Devour
Chen Jialuo put his hands in his wet sleeves and passed through flowers like a dancing knight in white. However, the invisible shadow of his fist flashed in front of the eyes of the two Japanese pirates. Discrimination, and finally tightened together, like a tightened beef tendon rope suddenly loosening, the tens of thousands of powerful forces rolled out, and suddenly turned into a powerful and unrivaled blow!
"Chief helmsman, be careful!"
A scream rang out in the heavy rain. Only then did Chen Jialuo realize that the Japanese pirate in front of him had received a blow and was still alive. He still kept his chest collapsed and vomited blood. He turned around forcefully and stared at Chen Jialuo with a pair of protruding dead fish eyes. , the long knife in his hand suddenly turned the edge, and saw a sharp offensive arc cut down, separating life and death.
In the crisis, Chen Jialuo suddenly turned around and avoided this murderous slash. However, the Japanese pirates had already followed the traces from another place. He saw them walking forward through the light with cunning movements, and the light of the sword blocked them. He lost his sight. If an ordinary person encountered such a counterattack, his energy would have been taken away and he would be unable to fight back.
Hearing the roar, he intuitively sensed that another person was leaping up from behind him. He leapt forward more than ten feet, but when he landed, he seemed to land on his feet without any effort. There was a dull thumping sound and a painful creaking sound from the knee, but since the Japanese sword was already five feet long, the range of the sword swing had exceeded five feet at this time, further blocking Chen Jialuo's escape route.
Taoist Master Wuchen and Zhao Banshan had precise eyesight, and they stood up together to rescue them. After fighting with two swords, Chen Jialuo was rescued from the danger. Even in this situation, there was still a frozen Japanese pirate who pulled out a short knife from his waist and He was determined to pierce Zhao Banshan's ankle with a stern look.
After personally experiencing the sword skills of Japanese pirates, the Chen family already knows why the martial arts heroes have profound martial arts attainments but cannot make any progress!
The sword techniques used by the Japanese pirates in front of me were extremely dangerous. The swords were all wrapped up. The decapitating move was to wrap the head, the throat severing move was to wrap the body, or the small arc was used to break the wrist and arm. Naturally, there were frequent dangers in the fight.
"Chief Commander, the difficult thing about the Japanese pirates' kung fu is that they change extremely quickly. Their fast and powerful big blows are combined with their agility in advance and retreat. It seems that they can no longer fight."
The three of them stood together and relied on each other. Zhao Banshan was born in Wenzhou Taijimen, which was the front line of Qi Shaobao's anti-Japanese war. Naturally, he had also heard stories about Japanese swordsmanship, so he put forward his own opinions.
"I think there's something wrong with these Japanese people, and there's even something wrong with their kung fu."
Taoist Master Wuchen held the Qiu Shui Sword horizontally in front of him, but frowned and said, "I know that the Japanese use the sword to measure the shape, and to use the short sword to move forward. Squatting means stepping, retreating means cutting. The arm is used to support the wrist, and the sword is used to lift. Hide away. But the group of people in front of me are running wild, fighting with five soldiers, and they are all indescribably weird..."
Chen Jialuo raised his eyebrows when he heard this and turned to look at Taoist Wuchen, "Taoist Priest, the weird thing you mentioned is that you think there is no 'human' in their sword skills?"
As soon as these words came out, Taoist Wuchen, who was immersed in doubts, suddenly took a long breath of cold air and looked at Chen Jialuo with disbelief in his eyes.
"What the chief helmsman said is true... This sword technique fights wildly and swiftly, as erratic as the wind. But if you look at their sudden fights and jumping back and forth, it seems that they have nothing to do with the person holding the sword. Instead, they themselves are dragged by the sword. Move and move around until you die!"
Taoist Master Wuchen stared at the weird behavior of the Japanese, and his attitude became clearer and clearer, "No wonder they jump left and right, hiding tricks and secrets - this is because when we fight to the death, we keep a close eye on people and concentrate on them." Observing the shoulders, elbows, waist, knees, neck, and feet, I didn’t find that all the Japanese pirates’ actions were guided by this sword!”
Such appalling rhetoric came from the mouth of Taoist Master Wuchen, which obviously violated the principles of all martial arts secret books. However, Zhao Banshan felt that this theory was extremely correct in his heart, but what he couldn't figure out was that his own chief helmsman After hearing this, there was no trace of surprise on his face, but a sense of certainty that this was the case.
A cold light flashed in Chen Jialuo's eyes.
The world knows that the Chen family in Haining, where he was born, has been a member of the family for generations, and its scientific reputation is unparalleled in the country. In the past two hundred years, more than a hundred people have been Jinshi, and they have even been ranked as ministers, ministers, governors, and political envoys. But what is not known is that the supporter In addition to the imperial examinations, the family's long-lasting prosperity over the past century was also supported by the maritime business group that invested heavily in the family. The fleet of merchant ships that traveled to and from Japan day and night was indispensable.
In the previous generation, there was a genius like his uncle Chen Yonghua, who got acquainted with and served under Prince Yanping because of his early experience at sea. Therefore, the Chen family was far more aware of the situation in Japan than others.
He knew that since Toyotomi Hideyoshi promulgated the Hachiman Ship Ban, the number of Japanese pirates like the one on the other side of the sea has dropped sharply. When Tokugawa Ieyasu replaced the Toyotomi clan fifty years ago and began to rule Japan, he vigorously promoted the seclusion of the country and immediately issued a very strict According to the "Lockdown Order", anyone found to have gone to sea without permission was immediately executed. The Ming Dynasty's sea surface has been peaceful since then, and there is no news of Japanese pirates wreaking havoc.
Therefore, the appearance of Japanese samurai on such a scale as before was by no means a small fight as everyone thought. The person standing behind him at this time was most likely the Tokugawa shogunate who ruled Japan, and only Tokugawa, the general who conquered the barbarians, was Only the Chuan family has the ability to send out so many Japanese warriors who are elite enough to rival martial arts masters...
The reason why Chen Jialuo could recognize this extremely evil swordsmanship of using a sword to control a person instead of a human being at a glance was because he had heard of the name when he was young. What’s more, the time when this sword technique appeared was when the Anti-Japanese War was in full swing, and the witness was the famous Qi Jiguang!
Cheng Zongyou, a Huizhou martial artist in the late Ming Dynasty, participated in the war against Japanese pirates. In "Selection of Single Sword Techniques", he talked about an unpredictable sword technique of the Japanese: "... Its usage is jumping left and right, and it is so cunning and cunning that no one can do it. Test. Therefore, great skills are often defeated by swords." You must know that jumping and deception are not the patent of Japanese pirates. No matter how secretive the sword moves are, there will always be a day when they are revealed. With the ability of the world's martial arts heroes at that time, rushing to the south of the Yangtze River was impossible in any case. I can't understand a Japanese sword technique.
But the fact lies here. He Liangchen during the Zhengde period also specifically mentioned this sword technique in the second volume of his "Zhen Ji" "Technical Application Chapter": "...it only takes a few or two strikes, and often people cannot control them. You can tell how skillful you are with the sword." Being able to impress the Central Plains martial arts community with one's own skill shows that this is by no means a level of deceit that ordinary people can imagine - unless the principles contained in this sword technique are very different from ordinary martial arts, so it can be used unscrupulously. The reason is not "strange and cunning", but "unfathomable"!
Qi Jiguang is worthy of being an outstanding figure who is diligent in thinking and has great talents and strategies. In view of the characteristics of Japanese pirates who are good at fighting alone and have sharp and unpredictable swords, he absorbed a lot of skills from hundreds of martial arts and created the "replacement of right and wrong weapons" The "Mandarin Duck Formation" method, using the collective "Qi Yong" to deal with a single Japanese pirate, finally saved the battle, and it was only then that the true face of this Japanese Japanese swordsmanship was gradually revealed.
In the 40th year of Jiajing, Qi Jiguang relied on his good command and reasonable tactics in the Battle of Taizhou to annihilate thousands of Japanese pirates in one fell swoop. When cleaning the battlefield, he found a strange fragment of sword manual on the corpse of a Japanese pirate. The sword manual was called " Catalog of the Ancient Gin-ryu", which depicts two strange apes holding katana swords, performing a series of offensive and defensive actions called "Sarutobi, Tatō Rokubi Sarukai, Koryu, Kishimi, Sanin".
Qi Jiguang, who was well aware of the power of Japanese swordsmanship, attached great importance to this sword manual. Because the sword manual was originally a fragment, Qi Jiguang practiced according to the pictures and texts and wrote his own experience and insights behind the sword manual, forming a "Xinyou" "Knife Technique" was later fully included in the book "Military Bei Zhi".
But Chen Jialuo heard from the elders in the clan that this sword technique is not that simple. When Qi Jiguang got this book, he flipped through it and was surprised by the strange concept of using a sword to control people. The so-called sword skills and sword moves are just things externalized in form. Only the evil sword that seems to be invisible in the hand is the real thing. He strictly ordered the sergeants not to practice.
In order to help Qi Jiguang relieve his worries, the Chen family once asked their maritime merchants to go to Japan to investigate. They found that the martial arts Qi Jiguang picked up on the battlefield were not the "Yagyu Shinin-ryu" and "Katori Shinto-ryu" that were popular in Japan at the time, but more like the source. It is a more ancient genre.
Judging from the moves of this sword technique, it is very likely that it comes from a fragment of the book "Illustrated Texts of Yin-ryu Sword Techniques" written by the founder of Yin-ryu, Aisu Mikasai Kutada (1452-1538). It is said that when he was 36 years old, he encountered a terrifying ape standing upright in the mountains of Kitakyushu, swinging a sword at Shangetsu, using this sword technique.
But when Qi Jiguang launched the Taizhou Campaign, Aizhou Mixiangzhai had been dead for 23 years and could not have appeared in Zhejiang, China. The swordsmanship he created has also been lost in Japan. So who was the unknown Japanese pirate who died in the battle with the only sword manual? who? Why did he appear in China with a sword manual that had been lost in Japan? What exactly this sword manual contains has probably remained a mystery forever.
What makes Qi Jiguang uneasy is that the first fifty sergeants in the Qi family army who were secretly exposed to this sword technique all suffered from mental trance and emotional loss within two months. They were almost unable to cooperate with their colleagues to form a mandarin duck formation. He would sleepwalk and dance with his sword at night, almost becoming a group of ghosts wandering around the military camp.
What then made the army even more uneasy was that someone reported that they had seen these sergeants practicing the ancient Yinliu swordsmanship in the middle of the night. They had grown white hair under the moonlight in the middle of the night, running and jumping like apes, and even their bodies were injured by the long sword in their hands. It jumped up from the branches, trying to kill everyone around it without distinguishing between friend and foe.
There are two apes drawn in the fragment of the sword manual of "The Catalog of Ancient Yinliu". It seems to be a curse full of animality and uneasiness, which will put those who come into contact with it into a strange and changeable state. Fortunately, the subsequent A great war obliterated these intricate stories like cobwebs, and also obliterated the traces of this incomplete book.
In the 40th year of Jiajing (1561) (the year of Xinyou), when Qi Jiguang wrote the "New Book of Jixiao", he collected the martial arts of long and short soldiers, and even included the boxing technique of "unforeseen battle skills" , but for some unknown reason, he did not include weapons and martial arts, and he never mentioned the ferocious and fierce sword skills in the book that were praised by others.
It was not until Qi Shaobao added to the "New Book of Jixiao" in his later years that he vaguely mentioned that as early as the Xinyou year, he obtained the "Japanese original" of the Japanese long sword during the battle against the Japanese in Zhejiang, and "then acted on it". It became a score called "Xinyou Knife Technique". Later, he changed the eighteen-volume "Jixiao New Book" into twelve volumes, with some contents deleted and added. This sword manual became one of the important contents for increasing revenue.
Chen Jialuo still remembers clearly that when Chen Yonghua explained to him the content of the "New Book of Ji Xiao", he emphasized that the process of creating the Xinyou Sword Technique created by Qi Shaobao actually received great help from Yu Dayou. For this reason, Yu Shuai even He personally went to the Shaolin Temple and "took away some martial arts that are unacceptable in heaven and earth" in the back mountain Zen forest with towering ancient trees and numerous steles. Only then did he resolve and restrain the "cruel, stubborn" and "bizarre" nature of the original swordsmanship. things...
"Chief Helmsman, this sword technique has such an origin. Why haven't you heard of it in the Central Plains for hundreds of years?"
Zhao Banshan listened carefully and stared ahead with furrowed brows. He relied on Tai Chi's power to resist the attack. The three top masters worked together to advance and slowly made progress. In the distance, only the tower-like Yang Chengxie and a user could be seen. The old men with strong sticks joined forces and were able to withstand the attack long-for-long.
"That's because this ancient Yin-ryu swordsmanship has not only harmed the Central Plains, but also harmed the Japanese country for a long time. Oda Nobunaga once ordered the death of the daimyo who was good at it."
Chen Jialuo said with a hint of worry: "At present, the first general of the Japanese Tokugawa shogunate, Matsudaira Saburo Nobuyasu, the legitimate son of Tokugawa Ieyasu, was ordered by Oda Nobunaga to kill himself at Futama Castle in Toe because he secretly learned this sword technique. At that time, Hattori Hanzo Masashige, who was dispatched as the intermediary, reported that after the death of Tokugawa Ieyasu's legitimate son, the headless body froze up after dark, and danced wildly all night while waving a long sword..."
"This sword technique is so evil?!"
Zhao Banshan was extremely surprised. It was hard to imagine how martial arts could disregard life and death and make people look like such ghosts.
"This incident is by no means an isolated case. It is precisely for this reason that the Tokugawa family vigorously suppresses the existence of this martial arts, because they are worried that this martial arts will harm themselves."
Chen Jialuo said slowly: "Further back, Tokugawa Ieyasu's grandfather, Matsudaira Kiyoyasu, was guarding the mountain in Owari Province, and was assassinated by his retainer Abe Yashichiro using the Koin-ryu sword technique. Assassination with the flowing sword, this sword technique is said to be able to kill even a decapitated person. Although it is often exaggerated, it is also extremely ominous, so it has been extinct due to many efforts to eradicate it."
After Chen Jialuo said these words, he had already caught a glimpse of the long knife in the hands of the Japanese pirate who was in madness. The inscription was engraved with the four words "Shizhou Village Chief".
Out of fear of the Koin-ryu swordsmanship and wariness of some "demon swords", Tokugawa Ieyasu secretly ordered the Imperial Court fans to sever the swordsmanship, and at the same time, he also explicitly ordered all countries to destroy the demon sword Muramasa - no one knows about the Koin-ryu swordsmanship now. There is a connection between the Ryudao technique and the Muramasa sword, but for some reason, people who use this evil sword technique often use Muramasa.
According to the investigation of the Chen family, Muramasa's name as a sword maker officially appeared in the middle period of Muromachi in Japan, and it has been used as a sword inscription for about a hundred years. It is obvious that Muramasa is not the name of a certain sword maker, but more like Some kind of premeditated and planned forging and investment, just to leave traces in this turbulent historical tide, and even the waves crossed the ocean and wandered into the annals of the Central Plains martial arts...
Under Chen Jialuo's reminder, the heroes finally understood that this move was not about killing people, but that the key was to seize the sword and break the move, and then knock the opponent down to pieces to prevent a fatal blow before death. Despite this weird martial art of using swords to control people, the Japanese pirates' martial arts attainments are not as good as those of the gang leaders of each faction. Their crazy sword skills also prevent them from calmly confronting the enemy, so slowly the dilemma is finally loosened.
At this time, the rain gradually weakened, and the two swordsmen in the desperate duel in Baisha Lane finally decided the winner. The man who looked like gold paper was covered with scars, but the Yum Knife King Hu Yizhi only had a bleeding wound on his face. Relying on the body wrapped with a knife is obviously more successful in defending.
However, the expert swordsman ignored his luck and gave up on defense more and more, embarking on a steep and steep road. He swung out a sword and struck it directly in the head. He expected the opponent to dodge away, then circled the sword and slashed across the waist. Every move was murderous and left no escape route.
Hu Yizhi's proud face showed unbearability. He blocked the tip of the sword with the move "Wind and Rain from All Directions", and then used "Split Flowers and Willows" to get out of the battle circle. However, he saw the opponent's long sword flipping back and stabbing him in the back of the heart. , every move has sealed the door of life, and wants to die with him.
Seeing that the tip of the sword was already reaching his body, Hu Yizhi's blade had no choice but to move one step faster. Only by cutting off the opponent's head first could he save his life. However, he suddenly let go and threw the Shen Dao, holding out his chest to block the fatal blow. On the sword, blood spurted out instantly!
As the victory or defeat was decided, the Japanese pirates who were at a disadvantage were already looking crazy, but the sharp swords in their hands continued to cut through the rain. They fought desperately with the martial arts heroes, and still caused great damage with the momentum of a narrow escape. Casualties, almost everyone was injured for a while.
The masters of each family knew that time waits for no one, so they relied on the sword masters to fight for the time and used all their killing moves to kill the Japanese warriors. They broke through the corpses of their squirming limbs and merged into a tired but determined torrent. Go straight to a destined place.
"Second brother...you can't go..."
Hu Yizhi held the blade of the sword with his hand, and still spoke pleadingly as his breath was as thin as silk. The expert swordsman raised his hand to thrust the sword in a little further, but found that the resistance was unusually strong. Looking at the ground again, it turned out that the tip of the sword had been broken by Hu Yizhi just now. At this time, the edgeless sword had been scarred for a long time and could no longer be used.
The swordsman looked at a loss and looked into the distance. He saw a group of people dressed as Japanese pirates coming out of the gate at the end of the street and flashing a row of black things towards everyone.
At this moment, another row of neat voices sounded loudly in the short Baisha Alley...
…………
The fire and sudden sound rose in the distance and spread throughout the city of Guangzhou like rolling thunder. He didn't know if it was a psychological effect. Jiang Wen only felt that the ground under his feet was shaking and fluctuating, as if it could not bear the weight of the place.
He once again stood in the lobby of Luo Mansion, facing Luo Yuantong, who was standing alone with his hands behind his back. The two of them didn't say a word for a long time, just listening to the sounds that sounded like the horizon.
The lights in the Luo Mansion were bright at this time, and there was no ghostly appearance like when the army was approaching. The halls were decorated with lights, red and green, and more than a dozen round tables were placed in the hall, as if the Luo Mansion was about to go there today. What kind of grand event is held? Prepare to welcome countless guests to your door.
However, in such a festive and crowded environment, not a single guest sat down at the table, nor was there a servant serving food or adding wine. Only the host Luo Yuantong, who was dressed in brocade, was left in the audience, showing a lonely appearance.
"Master Jiang, why are you back?"
Long after hearing the first sound, Luo Yuantong suddenly said.
Jiang Wen looked at him with a half-smile, "I should ask senior why you didn't leave, right?"
"Hmph, why do I want to leave?"
Luo Yuantong suddenly burst into laughter, and passed around the audience with his right hand wearing a brocade glove, "Tonight is the banquet for the heroes after I wash my hands in the golden basin. According to the rules of the world, everyone who comes today is a guest, so why should I be afraid?"
"Then I am also a guest?"
Jiang Wen pointed at himself with a slight smile, and then naturally sat down at a round table, becoming the unique and lone guest in the audience.
"That's natural. Since Master Jiang is here to congratulate you today, even if I don't have a delicious feast, I might as well talk about heroes with you."
Luo Yuantong looked at Jiang Wen with deep meaning, took out a jar of unopened old wine and placed it on the table, patted off the sealing mud and pushed it in front of Jiang Wen, "I know you will come back, because we are the same people. "
"That junior is disrespectful."
Jiang Wen took off the two swords from his body and placed them on the table according to the rules. Then he unceremoniously picked up the wine jar and drank a lot. He didn't stop until his clothes were wet.
"Senior Luo, we had some misunderstandings before. How about we chat in a different way this time?"
Jiang Wen said with a hint of drunkenness, "It's too boring to pretend to be a sheep now. Why don't we guess what the other party wants to ask and just say the answer directly. In this way, we won't regret if we talk too much. If it’s less, you can’t default on your debt.”
The two looked at each other and already guessed what the other was thinking. Smart people tend to think too much and hesitate. It would be better to say whatever they think about when they are drunk.
Luo Yuantong stroked his beard and smiled without saying anything, but he also picked up the wine jar with one hand and drank a lot. The heavy wine jar was as light as a feather in his hand.
Jiang Wen stopped talking nonsense and told his story from beginning to end.
"I can't trust Ying Wumou, nor can I trust his disciple Li Xinghe. Both of them are first-class liars. I have never been fooled like this in all my life. It's not that their deceptions are so clever, but because they are I have never said a word of truth, nor have I ever wanted to say a word of truth, it sounds too hard to listen to."
Jiang Wen said this, but his eyes glanced at Luo Yuantong in front of him. The words behind his words were all about their previous behavior of testing each other, which also made Luo Yuantong frown.
But what Luo Yuantong said was not what he wanted to refute most, and he looked straight at the Taoist in front of him.
"There are too many hypocritical people in this world, and we have to be on guard against them. Nowadays, the people outside the house are watching eagerly. Isn't it gratifying that I also spent ten years studying Buddhism, practicing Zen, and repenting, and finally deceived me and Tianran? Didn't you fool me and Tianran like this? People with the reputation of benevolence and compassion are the most dangerous, after all, you never know where or when they will draw a knife on you."
After hearing this, Jiang Wen felt like a cat that had stepped on its tail. At that time, he wanted to stand up and question the person opposite him. Why was he mocking him so openly and implicitly? The unfortunate nickname "Junzijian" was obviously forced on him by him!
But after Jiang Wen suppressed his anger for a while, he continued to talk about his topic without rashly breaking the rules he had set.
"Ying Laodao and I entered the cave of Nanyue Kingdom through a secret passage. Li Xinghe was originally locked in, but now we don't know how to escape. Ying Laodao said that he wanted to study the secret recipe of immortality left by Zhao Tuo. I thought about it. If you want to go, just come back to the old hero’s house and wait until he has a clue before going to pick the fruit.”
After Jiang Wen said this, he saw Luo Yuantong's expression change drastically, and his reaction was exactly the same as that of Ying Wumou in the tomb of King Wen of South Vietnam. He seemed to have thought of something terrible.
"Ahem... the secret passage in my house is a dragon-suppressing thing left by any prefect in the Tang Dynasty. There used to be a gathering of nine dragons in Panyu City, but they were killed by Tu Sui on the order of Emperor Qin, so the dragon veins entering the sea were It has turned into a ghost that lingers, stirring up the boiling sea and causing trouble from time to time. The ink dragon monument in my house is like the ancient temple in Nanhai. The two acupoints are integrated into one. Therefore, I will never be able to do it before the time comes today. Walk."
The Feng Shui level in Luofu Town leads directly to the ancient temple in the South China Sea. This is probably due to the continuous ups and downs of the dragon vein. Just like Feng Shui master Lai Buyi discovered the end of a dragon vein in Dayu Ridge, Jiangxi Province, so he chased it all the way south, going through all the hardships. , and finally discovered that the Dragon Cave is in Guangzhou.
The so-called theory of dragon veins can also be seen through satellite images. With Guangzhou as the midpoint on the image, the Pearl River Delta rises like a red sun from the sea, with nine mountain ranges arranged in a fan-shaped radial pattern around it. These nine dragon veins together create a Damingtang. Therefore, in addition to places such as Huashi Mountain, this prosperous land has nine dragon veins formed by the aura of the mountains and rivers of the entire Guangdong Province, which embodies the wisdom of ancient ancestors in site selection.
Jiang Wen nodded silently and looked at the dark and deep sky outside the house.
"Since the moment I stepped into Guangzhou City, I realized that there are too many mysteries here. The missing Southern Shaolin has not yet been found, and the evil forces of the Nanhai Ancient Temple are immediately causing trouble. And Shang Kexi tried his best to occupy the secrets in the city. Why do you need to go to such trouble? It's just a waste of time and energy before you decide to snatch it, and the martial arts people don't even know what they are running for."
Luo Yuantong looked at Jiang Wen, then raised the jug with one hand and took a swig. After a long time, he said drunkenly.
"There is more than one secret passage in the city. Shang Kexi was worried about alerting the snake, so he planned it for so long. Throughout the ages, no matter who comes into contact with this secret, their ambitions will expand infinitely. Zhao Tuo is like this, Lu Xun is like this, Li Chengdong is like this, Shang Kexi is like this, There is no exception for anyone. I think only virtuous people who are truly indifferent to fame and fortune and detached from other things would ask such a question..."
Jiang Wen suddenly burst out laughing: "Senior Luo, you broke the rules and answered my question. This is not good."
However, before Jiang Wen's laughter stopped, Luo Yuantong, who had gray hair and beard, looked at him with eyes wide open. He placed one hand on the two swords on the table, and his fierce aura rose to the sky.
"Headmaster Jiang, to be honest, I know who you are and why you are here!"
Jiang Wen was also confused by these words. He wondered whether he knew that he was a person from another world who had traveled through time and was planning to drag him into some strange club activities?
But the next moment, Luo Yuantong said coldly: "Originally, among all the people, you were the one whose purpose I couldn't understand the most, but it wasn't until I saw the sword on your back that I suddenly realized why you came and why. I just want to get involved in this!"
Jiang Wenzheng was confused and looked into Luo Yuantong's eyes doubtfully, then heard the other person say again.
"Yes, the 'Elephant' and 'Crane' in Prince Jingnan's Mansion came from my hands. When Shang Kexi wanted to take these two things from me, he only said that they were going to be taken to the overseas countryside for resettlement, but I didn’t expect that it would end up being a means of harming others, and I didn’t expect that I would attract you, Master Jiang, today..."
Luo Yuantong undeniably said the answer he had been thinking about for a long time, "It will attract rhino wielders like you and me, who are rare in the world after the Wei and Jin Dynasties!"
"Senior Luo, it turns out that you...are you also a rhinoceros wielder?!"
Luo Yuantong's voice sounded like thunder in Jiang Wen's mind. He instantly remembered the "Celestial Elephant of Tianzhu" in the Geng family manor with its tusks and crotched wings, and the "Crane" that came and went without a trace and screamed day and night. Unexpectedly, these two strange things came from Luo Yuantong's house, and what he never expected was that the majestic and majestic old man in front of him turned out to be a rhinoceros wielder who wandered in the weird and bizarre!
But in this way, Luo Yuantong is in charge of the secret passage of dragon veins, collects ancient ink dragon tablets, is still happy and respectful, knows the ancient temples of Nanhai well, and will immediately agree to join the team the moment he sees Gaozu's snake-killing white jade sword. The most sufficient reason!
Jiang Wen suddenly stood up, the look of confusion in his eyes became even more intense, "Does the black light hovering outside the house have something to do with you again?"
"That's right, the demon Heiyi who appears now also ran away from me."
Luo Yuantong burst into emotion and said without hesitation, "A year ago, I teamed up with Chief Chen Jinnan and dug through the 13th floor of the ancient underground city under the Yellow River in Kaifeng to find the tomb of Nan Xia Zhan Zhao. He selected a huge number from it. Que Sword and "Shu Kui Tu Praise Notes", and I took away the Zhan Lu Sword and the former Song Dynasty Heiyi who was sealed in the stone figurines in the tomb!"
"Originally, Hei Yi was trapped in the secret passage and re-suppressed by me. Unfortunately, Li Xinghe found out about it without planning it carefully. He bewitched Shang Kexi and damaged the Dragon Suppressing Monument in the Nanhai Ancient Temple. This gave Hei Yi a chance to escape, and he almost escaped. Cause a catastrophe..."
Jiang Wen frowned and did not touch the sword on the table, because he felt that Luo Yuantong's words seemed to have a grudge in his heart, but in fact he had opened his heart.
"Hero Luo doesn't need to blame himself so much."
Jiang Wen sighed slowly, "When manpower is limited, there is no good thing in the world. I am only worried that the more things you suppress, old man, the more frequent you will be coveted, and it will be difficult to end well in the end... "
"What's the use of getting a good death? Since Li Xinghe arrived, Shang Kexi now knows my secret. Forcing me to retreat from the world is just the first step. The real goal is to completely snatch these Yixi things. How can I let him Did you get what you wanted?"
Luo Yuantong suddenly laughed, his white beard and sword-browed voice booming, "My ancestor of the Luo family was originally a general under Qi Nantang, and the Xinyou sword technique passed down in our family also originated from Qi Gong. It was precisely because our ancestors witnessed the "Original Japanese" He killed Pao Ze and volunteered to take care of these things that should not exist in broad daylight. Now even if they are burned together in a fire, it is not a bad thing!"
Luo Yuantong sat down slowly at this time. After telling the origin, he looked at Jiang Wen's astonished face and continued, "Headmaster Jiang, although you are from the Jingnan Palace, I believe that as a rare rhino wielder in the world, you must be better than Others are more aware of the dangers of these things. I think it would be the safest choice to leave these things to you for safekeeping."
Jiang Wen quickly declined and said: "Old hero Luo, what are you talking about? How can I, Jiang, be so virtuous and capable as to dare to be compared with a senior like you? Now I just escaped with a life from Yi Xizhi by luck, how can I bear the responsibility?" Second important task!”
But Luo Yuantong didn't speak. He looked straight at the two ancient swords on the table, as if he already had an answer in his heart.
"Headmaster Jiang, I have suppressed countless things, but now there is only one that is most precious. No matter how valuable the others are, they are just scraps of metal in my eyes. Today I only hope that you can go to the Nanhai Ancient Temple and see This will put an end to the disaster caused by the dragon ghosts there, and also allow my only daughter to be safe and sound."
"Why should Lao Lao Hero be so mourning? Why not break out of Guangzhou City with me, where can I go!"
Jiang Wen doubted.
"Shang Kexi is holding the voucher this time. Naturally, he will not be willing to see the old man leave, and I can't bear the safety of the people in the city."
Luo Yuantong sighed that he finally took off his right hand with brocade gloves. What was revealed was not the flesh and blood, but a pair of essential steel created a lifelike copper -shuned iron hand. Fly!
"... What's more, the old man could not fight with a knife ten years ago by the scourge of the limbs ten years ago. The sword is desirable in the hands of Wu Liuqi, and will be used by Jiang's head in the future -this thing will definitely have a relationship with you. "
Jiang Wen was thinking for a long time, and finally stood up slowly, looking around the empty Luo Luo.
端 Banquet, lifted the wine altar to drink the residual wine, and then said categorically.
"I promise you, but you have to tell me what the plan is for!"
Luo Yuantong frowned and said, "What do you know about this? But the moths of some people flutter the fire, and the praying arm of the other people's praying arm, after all, it was the end of the pink bone."
"I thought so at first, so I was unwilling to hide on Wuyi Mountain, but I found that some things can actually do, but too many smart people refuse to do that '" knowing that you can't do it, so you can't do it. The person of the '. "
"Do you not do it?"
Luo Yuantong laughed dumbly, and his face was all white. He finally looked at Jiang Wen firmly. "Okay, the old man can tell you that there are two battlefields in the bright and dark today. Where do you want to go?"
