Ding Xiaodao also laughed. Of course, gamblers get poorer as they gamble, but real gamblers gamble more as they get poorer.
After staying in Yipinju for so long, I didn't realize that Mr. Hu Ba was hiding something secretly.
You know, if a person practices a certain weapon for a long time, he will develop a familiar body language with his body, and even feel like it will become one. For example, if you are a knife user, when someone stabs you with a sword or a gun. You don't have to think about it at all, you will subconsciously swing the knife to block it. Regardless of whether the knife is slung around your waist or on your shoulder, you won't block it with your hands anyway.
If you have been using knives all your life, will you suddenly use guns, swords, whips or other weapons?
Of course not, unless the knife is not your most powerful weapon.
Although practicing two weapons at the same time is much more difficult than practicing two martial arts at the same time. There are many people in the world who know many kinds of martial arts, but there are only a few who know two kinds of weapons.
Who said you can't practice two weapons at the same time?
It's just that no one found that the sword in Mr. Hu Ba's left hand was more powerful than the sword in his right hand, which proved that he had not met a real opponent yet.
What Ding Xiaodao was afraid of was not Master Hu Ba's martial arts, but his determination to endure. The one he was laughing at was himself, and he actually looked away.
Didn't Mr. Hu Ba also miss Ding Xiaodao's eyes in the same way? Maybe in some places, they are the same kind of people.
Perhaps when Ding Xiaodao was drunk and fell asleep on the table in Yipinju, he also snickered in his heart about Mr. Hu Ba's old eyesight.
So now is it Mr. Hu Ba's turn to snicker in his heart that Xuanyuan is not the only poor gambler who is obsessed with this?
I don’t know, who can know who has the last laugh?
"Anyway, everyone who is supposed to come has already arrived. There is a mixture of fish and dragons at the foot of Shaoshi Mountain." Ding Xiaodao looked up at the starry sky, which was shrouded in dark clouds.
He looked at Ye Rongqiu and smiled: "It seems that tomorrow will be cloudy, so I need to wear more clothes..."
In winter in the Central Plains, it becomes colder and colder at night.
Ding Xiaodao slept with his clothes on. Although he had traveled all day long, he was not sleepy at this moment. I have experienced so many things these past few days, and the things that are suddenly stuffed into my head will make it difficult to make sense of it for a while.
There were at least a few things he still couldn't figure out.
First, Xuanyuan not only lost the sword bet with Mr. Hu Ba, but whether he rebelled in order to survive or adhered to the principles and kept the bet, he must have given Mr. Hu Ba some useful information. What was this news? Is it a map of the letters collected in Shaolin Temple? Or information about Shaolin Temple patrols and guarding?
Secondly, Mr. Hu Ba has summoned six demons. The operation seems to have been carefully arranged. All six have left Luoyang and must have gathered in Shaoshi Mountain to carry out their own operations.
But why is Sikong Zhaiyue secretly following me?
Originally, Sikong Zhaiyue could leave safely. I didn't confirm who was following him, but he suddenly showed off his superb Qinggong. Not many people have that kind of Qinggong, but he didn't seem to be afraid of being spotted by me.
In the end, he was supposed to leave, but he showed up again at Jingou Gambling House to gamble heavily. He was also dressed in such eye-catching clothes, for fear that others would not know that he was carrying hundreds of thousands of taels of silver notes. Jingou Gambling House must have the spy of Mr. Hu Ba, Sikong With Operation Moon Harvesting in progress, he shouldn't be so high-profile. Is this part of Mr. Hu Ba's plan? Or is he really a gambler himself?
If he is waiting for someone, is he waiting for Xuanyuan Buguang, or is he waiting for me?
Third, Ye Rongqiu said that Mr. Hu Ba also has someone who captured Longmen. Who is this person?
First of all, exclude the Nangong brothers. These two people are always at the side of Mr. Hu Ba. If it is the two of them, it is impossible not to know about the bet between Mr. Hu Ba and Xuanyuan Guang. However, the person who sent the message does not know the content of the bet.
If the person Sikong Zhaiyue was waiting for at Jingou Gambling House was Xuanyuan Buguang, then Sikong Zhaiyue was the one who captured Longmen. He was waiting for Xuanyuan not only to verify the contents of the bet or to directly get rid of Xuanyuan Buguang.
Could it be that my appearance disrupted his plan? If he had known it, he would have observed it secretly.
Thinking of this, Ding Xiaodao couldn't help but sigh secretly. If the person who sent the message was not Sikong Zhaiyue, then who among the other five was the one who captured Longmen?
Ding Xiaodao continued to think.
Fourthly, Liu Changfeng had been staying close to Ye Rongqiu. Seeing that his promise had come to a successful end in just two days, why did he go to Zhongyue Temple non-stop? Do you really admire the elegance of Zhongyue Temple, or is there something fishy?
Did he really not know how Ye Rongqiu communicated with the people who captured Longmen these years, or was he pretending not to know? With his skills and experience in the world, there is no way he can't figure out any clues.
It seems necessary to test his tone tomorrow. It must be clear whether this person is an enemy or a friend, because if he is an enemy, it would be terrible. Ding Xiaodao thought to himself.
Fifth, how did Mr. Hu Ba plan such a troublesome operation? Seeing that he was already confident, could it be that the plan was really flawless?
Although the six people he found were top masters in the world, they were not qualified to cause trouble in the Shaolin Temple, which is regarded as a forbidden area in the world of martial arts. It was impossible for six people to take away anything from the hands of the three great monks, let alone a box that was hidden somewhere.
Are you looking for people from the Tang Sect to use poison? That's impossible. Shaolin has been focusing on Zen, martial arts, and medicine throughout the ages. Shaolin's seventy-two unique skills are world-famous, and Shaolin's medical skills are also world-famous. Shaolin's medical skills have long been of their own. Although they do not produce poisons, their ability to detoxify them is well known to the world. What's more, the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month is a very important day, and the supervision of meals must be extremely strict, especially this year, martial arts people are summoned to discuss important matters. It seems that it is more difficult to poison someone without anyone noticing.
How can the plan succeed without poisoning? Will they choose to attack at night? Even if the Nangong brothers can be included in the fight with the three great monks for a while, there are more than three Shaolin masters. It will be impossible to escape at that time, let alone seize the iron box?
After thinking about it over and over again, Ding Xiaodao still couldn't figure it out. He was lost in thought when he suddenly heard a very light sound coming from the roof, like a bird pecking at the green tiles on the roof, or like the sound of a civet cat hunting across the snow at night.
In this cold winter weather, no animals would come out at this time, not even mice. All animals have hibernated.
Ding Xiaodao quietly stood up and put on his boots, and gently pushed open the window. This window was already a bit old, and when it was pushed open enough for one person to come in or out, it suddenly made a soft "squeak" sound. As soon as the window made a sound, Ding Xiaodao's man had already jumped up. He flew up and landed on the roof like a nighthawk. Looking around, he saw a black shadow on the ridge of a roof more than ten feet away.
Ding Xiaodao took a deep breath, spread out his body and swept forward like a puff of smoke.
During this period, Ding Xiaodao changed five or six body movements, and the figure in front also changed his body movements continuously, always staying ten feet away from him.
Ding Xiaodao couldn't help but be secretly surprised. He had tried his best to catch up, but he still couldn't catch up with the person in front. This person's light kung fu was really shocking. This couldn't help but arouse Ding Xiaodao's resentment, and he suddenly used the magical skill of "Wandering Dragon and Shocking Phoenix" that had been lost for many years in the world. I saw him jerking his feet, leaping forward high, no longer flying low against the roof, but using his inner strength to move his body, flying in the wind like a goshawk, like a phoenix disturbed by a swimming dragon. , rises gracefully, quickly and gracefully.
Seeing that the distance is getting closer and closer, the distance between the two people was more than ten feet just now, and now it is less than five feet.
The black figure was obviously taken aback, but he remained calm in the face of danger. He suddenly jumped off the roof with a heavy weight, then kicked off the corner, dodged into another row of lower and darker alleys, and used the gecko to swim on the wall. In the blink of an eye, he kicked off his hands and feet on the wall, and he rushed to another alley like lightning.
Ding Xiaodao didn't expect him to do this. When he held his body and landed on the ridge of the roof, he could still see him in the alley in front. When he arrived at the alley, the black figure had long disappeared.
