The wine is gone and it’s time to get down to business.
During this period, Xiao Ding never asked Zui Taoist why he was invited. Perhaps he knew that Zui Taoist just wanted to try him first. The drunk Taoist didn't mention capturing Longmen either. Maybe he understood that Xiao Ding was not someone who wanted to be controlled. Although it was their first time contacting each other, they had a tacit understanding.
"Who are the other two?" Tang Qingqing was still thinking about the question just now, while Sikong Zhiyue and Ye Rongqiu also looked expectant.
Xiao Ding couldn't help but laugh. It seemed that the three of them might not even be able to sleep well until this matter was finished.
Sikong Zhaiyue interrupted and said, "Is it Taoist Master Xuan Lingzi?" He thought, since Taoist Zui's swordsmanship can be ranked in the top five, then it is logical for Xuan Lingzi, the head of Wudang, to enter this ranking. ?
But the drunk Taoist shook his head and said: "No, he doesn't count. Pindao's junior brother practices another kind of swordsmanship, so he can't be counted in this ranking."
"Another kind of swordsmanship?" Sikong Zhaiyue was a little confused. He turned to look at the others. Ye Rongqiu seemed to understand what Zui Taoist meant. Only Tang Qingqing and him were still confused.
"Of course we are not talking about the factions of swordsmanship. If that were the case, there would be a lot of swordsmanship in the world. The ranking we are discussing is about the uses of swordsmanship." The drunk Taoist paused for a moment, then continued: "Although there are many schools of swordsmanship in Jianghu, there are only a few uses for them. One is for inheritance. This kind of swordsmanship is usually passed down from one generation to another, just to distinguish the factions and commemorate the history of a sect. As a daily The sects compete and compete with each other, or for self-cultivation; one is to explore the true meaning of martial arts. This kind of swordsmanship transcends the inheritance of ordinary sects and is beyond victory or defeat, because once this swordsmanship is mastered, It will never be defeated, such as the flying fairy from Little Leaf's ancestor, but this sword technique is also the most difficult, so most people choose the third type. "
"Third type?"
"The third type is the sword technique for killing people, which is the ranking we are talking about. Because this sword technique is the most practical, it is also the most common. If you practice good sword technique, you can win a lifetime of fame and wealth. The most important point is Yes, it is closest to the true meaning of martial arts. For example, Ximen Chuixue, Flying Swordsman, Jing Wuming, Lu Xiaojia and others who were famous all over the world in the past also practiced killing swordsmanship, but in the end they understood the true meaning of martial arts. , and became a sect of its own. Xuan Lingzi practiced the swordsmanship inherited from the Wudang Sect, which was passed down from generation to generation. He explored the true meaning of martial arts in the swordsmanship of the Wudang Sect, and tried to take into account both, but this was not easy. ." When the drunk Taoist said the last thing, he couldn't help but sigh. Maybe in his early years, like Xuan Lingzi, he had struggled to explore the swordsmanship passed down by the Wudang Sect.
"Not even Xuan Lingzi, who else can be ranked up there." Tang Qingqing seemed to be talking to herself.
Among several major sects, the Wudang Sect has always relied on swordsmanship as its strength. Even its leader Xuan Lingzi cannot enter the ranking. The Emei, Shaolin, Kongtong, and Beggar Clan naturally cannot enter this ranking either. Click here. The talents of the Cang and Kunlun factions have withered in recent years, and it seems impossible.
Sikong Zhaiyue suddenly asked: "Does Brother Nangong count?"
The drunk Taoist smiled and said: "No, although Xunhe's twin swords are difficult to deal with, their Feihe swordsmanship is not based on speed, but on strange formations and tacit cooperation to win."
Sikong Zhiyue thought about it carefully and felt that this was the case. Although the Nangong brothers' swordsmanship was spicy and domineering, it was not the kind of fast sword that could pierce the throat with one sword.
"Although brother Nangong is not included in this ranking, his father Nangong Yu can enter this ranking." Zui Taoist said slowly.
"Can Nangong Yu be ranked in the top five? Doesn't it mean that this little old man has ignored the affairs of the village for many years and concentrated on refining elixirs?" Sikong Zhaiyue didn't seem to believe this statement.
The drunk Taoist said solemnly: "Refining alchemy is fake, but practicing swordsmanship is real. Nangong Yu's sword skills may be much higher than we imagined."
Sikong Zhaiyue said angrily: "It must be this fight that killed Liu Yunfei and the rotten gambler."
The drunk Taoist said sadly: "Of course, this possibility cannot be ruled out. Nangong Yu is originally a member of the Qinglong Society. The Qinglong Society has many spies. It is not impossible to find out the secrets here. But there is another person who is also a serious suspect. This is why I am asking you to One of the reasons why I came to discuss important matters.”
Everyone looked at each other and no one interrupted, waiting for the drunk Taoist to elaborate further.
"We arranged for Liu Yunfei to recuperate here. Naturally, we also set up a defense line in secret. We just cut off the secretly deployed personnel a few days ago to track down an important news. Liu Yunfei's injury has almost recovered, and with Xuanyuan Buguang's protection, generally The killer would never succeed. Who would have expected that in the past few days, his opponent would find out the truth and send out top experts to destroy the two of them. "
"The Qinglong Society and the Money Gang have many subordinates, and losing a few men is of no concern to them. However, Qinglongmen values the essence rather than many. Everyone who joins the Qinglongmen must pass numerous tests. Each of them is An elite who can stand alone, so even if one life is lost, it will have an immeasurable blow to the strength of Capture the Dragon Gate. "
"After the Shaolin Laba Conference, Capture the Dragon Gate organized a wave of raids, targeting the Luoyang Dongyue 27th Branch of the Qinglong Society. Both Shaolin and the Beggar Clan sent manpower to help. Although we also suffered casualties, we also severely damaged Hu Ba's Basically, it was in that battle that Liu Yunfei’s identity was discovered by the opponent, and he was hunted down. "
"Hu Ba's left-hand sword is indeed spicy and weird. I fought with him for dozens of rounds and failed to kill him. But if that man hadn't suddenly appeared and within ten seconds, I would have been able to kill Hu Ba because I had already Find the flaw in his swordsmanship."
"The man's swordsmanship seems to have gone beyond the realm of swordsmanship. He simply thrust out a sword and hit the spot where I must save him. After a few moves, I was at a disadvantage. Maybe his purpose was just to save me. Hu Ba, you didn’t fight with me for a long time. I knew I was outmatched, so I didn’t want to catch up.” The drunk Taoist finished talking about this experience in one breath, and everyone seemed to be in a daze, as if they were still calm in the battle. , no one answered for a long time.
Xiao Ding first broke the silence and asked: "Taoist Master fought with him, have you seen the origin of that person?"
The drunk Taoist shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Both the enemy and us are covered with green gauze, so we can't see each other's faces clearly. But I am deeply impressed by his swordsmanship, because his swordsmanship is not like the swordsmanship of any martial arts school in the Central Plains. Fa, he sometimes holds the sword with both hands, but it looks like the sword moves of the Japanese school."
"Why are they from Japan again?" Tang Qingqing whispered softly.
The drunk Taoist suddenly asked: "Have you ever heard that twenty years ago, there was a killer with extremely good swordsmanship in the world, named Han Tieyi."
Zhou Ziheng, who had remained silent, asked, "Are you talking about the iron-clad killer who became famous twenty years ago?"
"Exactly!" The drunk Taoist nodded.
Zhou Ziheng said: "It is said that he has never failed to kill someone, and his asking price is extremely high. Most people can't afford him, but as long as someone can afford him to kill someone, they have never been disappointed."
"Because he drew his sword so quickly that his clothes wouldn't even get a trace of blood on him, so he called him Han Tieyi." The drunk Taoist sighed.
Sikong Zhaiyue seemed to have understood, and he suddenly said: "Han Tieyi's swordsmanship is naturally a killing swordsmanship, and his sword can naturally enter this ranking."
"That's right."
In other words, both Nangong Yu and Han Tieyi may be the murderers of Liu Yunfei and Xuanyuan Buguang.
