The situation in the city was treacherous, and the Huo family also felt the pressure of the coming storm. However, at the moment, their eyes were still on those villains who might conspire to attack, and they had not yet considered the possibility that the three major families would overturn the table.
The reason is that Boss Zhu gave them too much confidence. Since he came, all the advice he gave to Huo Yunqi was good advice that achieved great results, so the Huo family trusted this fat businessman very much.
It had been half a day since they arrived at Huo's house. Tian Quan was taken to the backyard and assigned to a small room with two young Jianghu knights.
One of the two people in front of him is tall and thin, with a long sword hanging from his waist. He is less than 20 years old, and he always has a serious and rigid look on his face that is pretending to be calm. He seems to be difficult to get along with.
As expected, after seeing Tianquan, the man nodded dryly and said with as much care as gold: "This friend has invited me, Liao Yong."
"I've met Brother Liao. I'll give you a lot of money." Tianquan returned the gesture with fists clasped.
After greeting each other, Liao Yong said calmly: "I'm going to practice sword practice. Say goodbye."
After that, he strode away. At this moment, another person in the room came up to him with a smile: "Brother Liao has this kind of character. Brother Qian doesn't need to care."
The person speaking was younger. He was born fair and chubby, with a face that still had some baby fat. He was no more than fourteen or fifteen years old, but he deliberately sounded like an old man who didn't match his age. This is called People looked at it with a sense of joy.
"Ben, my name is Daniel. Brother Qian calls me Aniu." The little fat man looked approachable and was much easier to get along with than Liao Yong.
Tianquan has good eyesight. Although the words of this fat man who calls himself a big cow are full of Jianghu flavor, the feeling is too artificial. Moreover, the skin of his hands is white, tender and delicate. It doesn't look like he has practiced martial arts, but rather like someone who has practiced martial arts. He is a young man from a wealthy family who never touches the spring water.
After talking with the other party, Tianquan had a rough guess about Daniel's identity, but he did not reveal it. Although this little fat man was ridiculous and playful, he had a good nature.
"Aniu, have you seen the Huo family master here?" Tianquan did not forget the purpose of his visit, but he walked around the yard several times, but he didn't see anyone.
Upon hearing this, A Niu chuckled and winked at Tianquan: "Brother Qian, you came to join the Huo family under the guise of having an old relationship with the old village owner, right?"
"Don't you..." As soon as Tianquan opened his mouth, he knew that he was asking nonsense. This big man was not from the world at first glance, and naturally he could not have any connection with Huo Tianya.
Tianquan did not hide anything, and said honestly: "It is true. There are many risks in traveling around the world. If you can find a big tree to shelter from the wind and rain, it is better than being alone."
Daniel patted Tianquan on the shoulder, pretending to be mature and authentic: "Brother Qian, there is no need to be like this. Look at the people in this yard. It's not just you and me who pretend to be old, but they are good. They pretend to be true every day." They talk about it as if they have something real in their belly, and that’s what people look down on.”
Tian Quan glanced at Daniu and couldn't help but smile and said: "What you said is true. I didn't expect that Aniu is young and sees it better than many people."
"Hehe," Daniel smiled sheepishly: "I was also inspired by this."
Just as he was talking, Liao Yong came back. When Tian Quan was stunned, the other party walked past him, took the water bag on the table, looked at the two of them coldly, and left with his head held high.
Tian Quan frowned and said, "Didn't he go to sword practice?"
If he remembered correctly, it seemed that the other party's back and forth took less than half a stick of incense.
Daniel curled his lips and said: "He just likes to show off. Brother Qian, listen to me. Even though he is so active in practicing martial arts, in fact, he is just showing off deliberately so that others can take a good look at him. Really, who can be blind?" , I can’t see that his bucket of water is half full.”
Tianquan also found it funny when he heard this. He shook his head and stopped thinking about Liao Yong. He turned to look at Daniel and asked, "What about you, Ah Niu? Why did you come to Huo's house?"
"Eh, me?" Daniel was stunned for a moment, and then said unnaturally: "I - my family has been sharecroppers for generations and is very poor, so I went out to find food to eat. It happened that the Huo family was short of manpower. I’m coming right now.”
Tianquan looked down at the other person's hands, and said with a half-smile: "Don't do this, A Niu, people who farm the land will not have such a pair of pampered hands."
Daniel rubbed his hands in embarrassment, neither hiding nor hiding, and finally had to laugh and said: "Brother Qian has a good eye, and the younger brother does hide something. In fact, my family is a wealthy businessman, but what's the fun in dealing with account books every day? How comfortable it is to wander around the world and be a knight."
The big bull's eyes said with longing: "One man and one sword wander around the world, doing chivalrous acts, heroes saving beauties from time to time, and there are two confidants, how happy these days are."
Tianquan couldn't help but hold his forehead and smile: "Aniu, the world is not as good as you say, you just haven't seen it too little."
Being thrown cold water on him, Daniel said a little unconvinced: "Brother Qian is not a few years older than me. Have you seen a lot?"
Tian Quan touched his nose: "That's natural. I have been wandering around in the world since I was a child. I have traveled all over the country and seen everything."
"Really?" Daniel's eyes lit up, and he immediately grabbed Tianquan and asked: "To be honest, I have a doubt in my mind that has been bothering me for many days, and I asked Brother Qian to give me some advice."
"Well, you tell me." Tian Quan became interested and planned to tease the other party.
Unexpectedly, the little fat man shocked him as soon as he opened his mouth. He only heard Daniel ask seriously: "I heard someone said that if you keep your child's body and stick to your true yang when practicing martial arts, you will get twice the result with half the effort. Is this true?"
"Ahem."
Tian Quan was choked, and he stared at Daniel speechlessly: "Why do you care about this? How can you still do it at such a young age?"
"Brother Qian is pedantic," Da Niu shook his head and said sternly: "Food, sex, sex, love between men and women are human relations in the world. It would be a great pity if you have to restrain yourself or even give up because of your martial arts practice."
Tianquan was dumbfounded by what he said. After being surprised, maybe the other person's question was too serious, so he patiently answered: "This is a fallacy. The prosperity of the true yang cannot be preserved by a child's body. This This is what fools falsely say. The so-called way of life is that the yin does not grow alone and the yang does not arise. The yin and yang complement each other and the Tao follows nature."
Qingcheng is a Taoist sect, and Tianquan has been practicing these things since he entered the door. The explanation is also very reasonable. Daniel listened with his eyes wide open for a long time before he realized: "In other words, practicing kung fu with a boy's body is really a lie? "
Tianquan nodded: "Except for certain martial arts roll call requirements, most martial arts in the world have nothing to do with the body of a boy."
"I see," Daniel nodded, and then made a surprising statement: "No wonder the master of Wudang is so powerful in martial arts. It turns out what is written in the book is true."
"What?" Tian Quan was stunned: "No, what does this have to do with the headmaster of Wudang?"
"Brother Qian, don't you know?" Daniel blinked, then turned back to rummage in the cabinet together, and mysteriously took out a pamphlet and handed it to the other party.
When Tian Quan looked at it, his hand shook and he almost dropped the book on the ground. The book in his hand was titled "Two or Three Things Wudang Leader and Drunken Flower Fairy Have to Say".
"Brother Qian, be careful! I bought this with great difficulty." Daniel hurriedly held up his hand to prevent the book from falling to the ground.
"Where did this thing come from? Aren't you afraid that Wudang will cause trouble?" Tian Quan flipped through a few pages in a hurry, and then suddenly asked: "Is there anyone from the Qingcheng sect?"
"Qingcheng Sect? It seems I haven't heard of it yet."
Daniel shook his head, then patted his chest and said, "Brother Qian, don't worry. A few years ago, this book would cost more than ten taels of silver on the black market. For now, it's still worth a lot."
Tian Quan opened his mouth and said dryly: "A dozen taels, you bought it?"
"That's not true," Daniel chuckled, "I've heard about it a long time ago, but unfortunately I haven't found a way to do it. But a few days ago, I heard that Wudang was closed, and the book became a bestseller. I couldn't even buy it for more than a dozen taels at first. What a great thing I got, now it costs two coins a piece, and I also give you a copy of the Shaolin Boxing Encyclopedia, Brother Qian, do you want to read it?"
"No, no, I use a sword."
Tianquan said absentmindedly, rubbing the book with his fingers, as if he was debating whether to read it or not. The big bull monster smiled and said: "I knew that Brother Qian must be of the same mind, and we are destined to meet each other. This book is given to you as a meeting gift."
"This" Tian Quan wanted to refuse, but the other party had already finished speaking in a pretentious manner. After thinking about it, he declined.
After Tianquan accepted the book, he realized what he had done. He looked embarrassed. He wanted to explain something but felt that he was trying to hide it. When he was struggling, a terrifying sword sound suddenly came, followed closely by something like a sword. A dizzy feeling like the earth is shaking.
"Whoaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, but, but also!" The little fat man turned pale and fell to the ground. The sound of the sword sounded like a magic sound in his ears, making him roll in pain.
"Aniu! Hold your breath and concentrate! Don't move!"
Tianquan said, holding the sword formula with one hand to stabilize his mind, and pointing two fingers in front of Da Niu's forehead to stabilize the opponent's mind with his true energy.
This terrifying sword sound came suddenly and continued like a wave. Tianquan looked nervous, and the long sword behind him actually trembled together, as if it was resonating with it.
Not only him, but everyone in the Huo family and even half of Dongdu heard the sword whistle. The swords in everyone's hands trembled for a moment, as if they were crawling, as if they were whining and begging for mercy.
Underground in the center of the Huo Family Courtyard, Huo Yunqi was also shocked to see the Moon Shadow Sword gradually regaining its sharpness in the sword furnace. In fact, it was not just a simple repair, but a rebirth from the ashes.
He was also a sword user, and when he suddenly heard the sound of the sword, he unconsciously felt like kneeling down in his heart.
"Incredible," Huo Yunqi lowered his head and looked at the half-broken sword sent by Boss Zhu as a "repair material" in the sword furnace. He murmured: "Where did he get this thing from? Broken Sword has almost reached the level of a divine weapon."
