Chapter 8: The old demon in the Longevity Hall died, and the heroic hero was injured
The host's family was hospitable to the banquet of heroes, and the guests were all in a peaceful mood. Wine was brought directly from the big cauldron. While everyone was eating, drinking, talking and laughing, they suddenly heard the noise of gongs and drums outside, and saw several disciples of Old Hero Shen running towards them. Report, the stone-like person jumped up angrily.
Just as Shi Xiang was getting angry, a cold and biting voice came: "The Four Elites from Western Hunan are here to pay a visit to Mr. Shen!"
Before he finished speaking, a figure flashed outside the gate, and he saw three men in black standing in the hall. There were countless experts in the hall, but few people could see clearly.
The leader, with a black and green face and a beard with three filters, clasped his fists and said: "Brother Nine-Headed Yama, with black and white Wuchang, comes to pay homage to Mr. Shen's birthday. May Mr. Shen's happiness and longevity be endless!"
Zhuangzhu Shen stood up, clasped his fists in return, and said with great dignity: "I don't dare, I don't dare!"
Someone in the crowd started to talk: "The Four Demons of Western Hunan have always been in the southwest, how come they have reached the border of Hubei?"
"Why are only three of the four demons here? Why doesn't that poison dare to show up?"
"Needless to say, he must have been hiding in the dark!"
"No, no, today's gathering of heroes must be too scared to come!"
The three demons ignored them and saw one person behind him speaking with a thick local accent. Chu Jianghan could barely understand: "A few months ago, our brothers got a sword by chance. I can't hide it from you." , it is the famous 'Zhenyue Sword' in the martial arts world!" As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the crowd.
Another one answered: "That's right! It's exactly this sword, but our boss said that in terms of martial arts prestige among the martial arts world, apart from the reclusive masters, the only ones who have the highest reputation are the masters of Shaolin and Wudang, and Mr. Shen I am worthy of wielding this sword." As soon as he said this, several people agreed.
The two people were talking to each other, but Chu Jianghan couldn't tell which one was Hei Wuchang and which one was Bai Wuchang.
The man with a strong accent spoke loudly again: "Everyone! Everyone! The two masters of Shaolin and Wudang are both monks. Why do they use weapons? Our boss said that there is only this old hero Shen in Xiangyang City in the world. He is worthy of this sword." After hearing this, everyone looked at Old Hero Shen and saw that he was wiping his beard with his hand, but he didn't say a word.
"Hey, so, our boss wants to take advantage of the old hero's birthday to dedicate this sword to the old hero!"
The Yin and Yang disciples on the seat shouted in unison: "Where is the sword?" The heroes immediately stood up and looked around. Some of the younger ones must have already held the sword in their hands.
Nine-Headed Yama then said, "I entrusted this sword to a friend named Chu as a gift. What's wrong? Didn't Old Hero Shen receive it?"
As soon as these words came out, Chu Jianghan was so angry that he thought to himself: "You shameless old devil, you are clearly causing trouble to Jiangdong!" Just as he was about to get angry, his sworn brother Ren Jiang Ren Youwei jumped up and jumped up early. , and cursed loudly: "Shameless bastard, this sword has been obtained by my sworn brother a long time ago! How can I allow you to talk nonsense!"
Hundreds of eyes in the seat all turned towards him. Chu Jianghan didn't know whether he should stand up for a moment, but he heard a familiar voice say: "Brother Chu, you can't hide from the left and right, so you might as well stand up!" Chu Jianghan Han listened to the voice and recognized the person who spoke, Li Feiyun, the Jade Flute Sword who had had tea that day, and saw him striding towards him with a smile on his face.
Chu Jianghan stood up, untied the bag from his back and pulled out his long sword, a dragon's roar echoed in his ears.
"Okay! Very good! Very good! In that case, please return the sword!"
Chu Jianghan only heard a "swish" sound, and a copper claw flew towards him with the sound of wind. Chu Jianghan had a special skill, and he didn't even look where it was coming from. He raised his hand and struck out with a sword, and white light flashed out. The sword energy split into the air, but the copper claw was cut into several petals and opened in all directions.
Everyone gasped, and the people around them scattered in all directions, forming a circle, only surrounding the three demons and Ren and Chu.
"Wait a minute! Today is my eldest brother's birthday. You are all guests from afar, so please don't do anything!" The person who spoke was none other than Li Feiyun. The direction in which the words were spoken immediately made way for an opening.
The Nine-Headed Yama said: "My three brothers have come from afar to pay homage to me and are willing to show off some tricks to cheer up Mr. Shen and all the heroes! I don't know what Brother Chu's thoughts are." Between the words, it was: Bypassing the master's house, he went directly to fight Chu Jianghan.
People in the martial arts world always pay attention to the reputation of a hero when traveling in the world. Although Chu Jianghan is not experienced in the world, he understands this truth and was about to stand up and agree. But he heard Li Feiyun say loudly: "Young Master Chu is a guest from afar. Why bother with trivial matters? My brother is not talented and knows some boxing and kicking, so let me come and learn from you first!" Then he turned around and clasped his fists and said: "Brother Chu and You are all guests from afar, so please sit in and watch my brother learn his clever tricks!"
The heroes cheered for a while and stopped talking nonsense. Most of them returned to their original positions. A few of them talked privately: "I have long heard that this old hero Shen has great martial arts skills, but I have never seen him take action. Since he is his sworn brother, I want to There must be a method, and there is something to behold today.”
Ren Youwei, the sworn brother, motioned Chu Jianghan to sit down, and the two turned to watch.
Li Feiyun shouted loudly: "Seventh brother, have you eaten and drank enough?" Shi Xiang, the man who was just carrying the cauldron at that time, shouted loudly: "Sixth brother, don't worry, we have eaten and drank enough, and we are waiting to move our shins. "After that, he picked up the stone grinder and jumped into the center of the field.
Without any instructions, the Nine-Headed Yama and Black and White Wuchang came out from behind, each of them raised their weapons and got into stance. Li Feiyun took off the jade flute from his waist and asked: "On the Henan Road, hundreds of people died in Kang'an Village, but how many of you did it?" A person on the left opened his mouth and asked: "If people in the light don't do secret things, it's you. What the four grandfathers did!"
Li Feiyun was furious and said, "Then don't blame grandpas for being cruel!" He punched before he finished speaking.
The stone elephant here also raised the stone grinder and started beating it. All the heroes were martial artists. They watched the battle carefully. It turned out that the stone elephant's fists and feet were amazing, but it was extremely powerful. The stone elephant was swinging around wildly. This devil's Where can I dare to confront the mourning stick head-on? Occasionally, I would use a physical technique to whip the opponent, but it would be as if he was hit on the ground, without any feeling.
On this side, Li Feiyun used the jade flute as a sword and performed a series of sword techniques, but no one had ever seen them before. From time to time, he would make moves with his left hand, and then switch to his right hand. This demon could still handle a silver mourning staff at first, but After twenty moves, he was still stretched.
Looking over there, the black mourning stick dared not meet the stone elephant's giant crushing force. It was just hiding here and there. Even if it had all kinds of tricks, it was useless. There are many experts here, many of whom have experienced more than a hundred battles, but this is the first time I have seen such a scene.
Seeing the defeat of the two brothers in battle, the Nine-headed Yama shouted loudly and went straight for Chu Jianghan. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that it was for the sword in Chu Jianghan's hand. The wind passed by the palm, and the cold air seeped into people. The Nine-Headed Yama used the unique skill Xuanyin Palm. Someone in the seat was shocked and shouted: "Xuanyin Palm!"
"Yes, the master of Shaolin Sect died under this hand!"
"Headmaster Zhou of the Huashan Sect was hit by a Mysterious Yin Palm back then, and he is still recovering from his injuries in the secret room. He can't stand the cloudy weather! I think this junior is in trouble!" This comment came from the chief position.
As soon as the move was made, Nine-Headed Yama said: "Boy, I didn't succeed in my magical skills that day, so I'll spare your life, but today I want to see who is better at your Wind Spirit Palm or me!" Chu Jianghan is very good at passing down his skills from master to master. Bold and unhurried, he slowly drew out the sword on his back, opened his body where the sword chanted, and faced him.
On top of this, there was an iron-handed Taoist who was so anxious that his face turned red and he shouted: "Ignorant young man, with your Taoism, you dare to take action! If you lose this time, you will be regarded as the hero of the world and defeated our Kongtong sect." Fame!"
But he didn't expect that where Chu Jianghan's sword flashed, it didn't fall. It turned out that he was using the first of the seventy-two Danyang Sword Techniques, "Immortal Guiding the Way". Wherever the figure flashed, his figure really looked like a crane. The heroes secretly sighed that this junior could behave like this. Then came the move "Immortal Worshiping the Moon", where the shadow of the sword swayed, but there was a barb on the back, and seven or eight swords were fired in a row.
This swordsmanship is free and elegant, some are fast and some are slow, some are hard and some are soft. It is very similar to the Wudang Tai Chi sword, but I can't tell where it is. The few people on the table looked at Taoist Master Chong Ling of the Wudang Sect, and saw that he was also looking at it with his eyebrows furrowed and a look of confusion on his face. He must not have known it either.
Everyone looked at Chu Jianghan again. He tried more than ten moves in a row, but each move was better than the last. When the Nine-Headed Yama first saw the extraordinary swordsmanship, he had no choice but to protect himself.
The moves between masters of this level are more internal skills. If you have a weapon in your hand, it will be even more powerful. What's more, this is a peerless sword, and Chu Jianghan's swordsmanship is very solid. Gao Ming, after fifty moves, Nine-Headed Yama felt that this person was really troublesome, and thought to himself: "This young man's sword skills are really rare in my life. If this continues, I will definitely be defeated. Fortunately, he has little experience in facing enemies, I just need to think of ways to get rid of him." With a long sword in his hand, he can kill a powerful enemy."
Suddenly I saw him jumping out of the circle with a loud shout and shouting: "Wait a minute, Young Master Chu is a master of swordsmanship. I don't think anyone here can beat him. I can't defeat him with my bare hands, so I'm willing to lose! Second and third, I think we give up today. Stand down!" The Black and White Wuchangs had not gotten any advantage in their respective formations. They heard the boss's words and happened to withdraw at this time to still get a draw.
Everyone cheered. Chu Jianghan was feeling proud of himself, but he didn't expect a gust of cold wind to hit him. He was about to raise his sword to meet him, but it was already too late. He hurriedly used the special skill of "Xumi Sanyin" to dodge sideways.
The crowd cheered again, and were about to raise their swords to meet again, but another cold force hit them. They could not give in, so they had to drop the swords in their hands, greet each other with both palms, and use the Thirty-Six Road Winds taught by their mentor Ziyang Zhenren. The spirit palms were used three times in a row. Both of them felt that their skills had greatly increased, and they were no longer comparable to what they had when they first fought.
Only then did Chu Jianghan realize that it was the old devil who was afraid of the sword in his hand and deliberately deceived him in order to win with fists and kicks. Thinking of this, he was furious, and he used the "Wind from the Ground" and "Wind and Thunder" moves in succession, and then he hit two more palms.
After two head-to-head blows, Chu Jianghan realized that the opponent's cultivation was far superior to his own. A chill went straight from the palms to his lungs. He immediately felt his scalp numb and his energy and blood boiling, causing him to feel dizzy.
Sooner or later, there were already Shen Yuanwai, two monks and a beggar in this building. A total of six people jumped out and stood in front of Chu Jianghan.
The Tie Shou Taoist touched Chu Jianghan's major points all over his body and supported him aside. Officer Shen raised his hands and clasped his fists and said: "The victory has been decided, I win with one step!" The Nine-Headed Yama looked proud and said, "What a bald donkey, I heard that in the last battle, you used up most of your internal energy. How come you can still move now?" Monk Liozhen said the Buddha's name but did not answer.
Suddenly, the nine-headed Yama touched the ground with his right foot, turned around and rushed out of the door. When everyone wanted to chase him, it was already too late.
Amid everyone's sighs, Shen Yuanwai took the elixir and drank it for Chu Jianghan.
In the middle of this scene, only black and white were left standing motionless, neither fighting nor walking.
Old Hero Shen casually fired several golden hidden weapons at the two of them. Black and White Wuchang had been timid for a long time. He was unable to dodge and his acupuncture points were blocked. Several disciples and servants appeared next to him and locked the two demons down.
The Iron Hand Taoist's face glowed brightly, and he returned to his original position amidst the praises of the crowd. A young boy returned it with the sword in both hands. Chu Jianghan's face was full of spring breeze, the sword was sheathed and he sat back down.
But when they heard that the people in the seats immediately became lively, most of them were cursing the Four Demons of Western Hunan for doing evil, and threatening to cut the remaining two demons into pieces, and then they were praising Kongtong for his unparalleled talents in learning Chu Jianghan's martial arts. .
Suddenly Shi Xiang called out "Second Brother". Everyone was only focused on eating and drinking, but Chu Jianghan looked back and saw the Shi Xiang coming up to him.
A big man walked in outside the door. He wore a tattered cloak on top of his coarse clothes. He was in his thirties and had a square face, a wide chin and big earlobes. There was a scar on his forehead that was as wide as a finger. Chu Jianghan It was immediately recognized that this was the "red-handed butcher" mentioned by the old beggar.
I saw him walking straight to the big cauldron and calling out: "Seventh brother, brother, I have prepared a gift and it is right outside the door. Please bring it to me!" The stone elephant laughed and ran out.
Chu Jianghan looked back at the chairman. Mr. Shen was only chatting and laughing with the monks and Taoist priests. He clearly didn't see anyone coming in.
But he saw Xuanyi Peacock coming forward to tidy up his clothes. In fact, there was nothing to tidy up in his coarse and rag clothes.
The man opened his mouth and said: "Bring me a jar to wash my hands so that I can meet my elder brother." After hearing this, the peacock in black clothes walked to the nearest table, picked up an empty jar, walked to the big cauldron, and filled it with gurgling He filled half the jar, picked it up and poured it on the big man's hands, and the big man scrubbed them randomly.
A burst of laughter startled everyone, and they stopped drinking and throwing chopsticks. When they looked back, they saw Shi Xiang running in carrying a bloody human head. The head was still connected with sparse flesh and blood, and there was someone with sharp eyes. Come on, isn't this the Nine-Headed Yama who just injured Young Master Chu?
There was silence in the hall. The man washed his hands, took the wine jar, and poured the wine on the stone elephant's hands. The stone elephant threw his head in front of the hall, but his bloody hands were instantly clean after being poured with the wine.
The stone elephant shouted loudly: "Brother! Look who's coming!" He turned around and shouted again: "Brothers, come in, the second brother is here!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw a person jump from behind the roof of the main hall, tumbled in the air, and landed gently in front of the cauldron. A skilled person could tell at a glance that this light skill was no worse than the one shown by Young Master Chu at that time. When you look closely, you can see that the man has a thin beard and a thin figure. There is something on his back that looks like a steel whip but not like it.
Immediately afterwards, a person jumped out from behind the rooms on the left and right sides. Chu Jianghan took a look and saw that it was the two head catchers with golden swords and wooden swords seen in Wangxiang Pavilion.
Jade Flute Swordsmen had already rushed over. After a brief greeting, they all lined up in a row, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed eight times. Looking at Mr. Shen again, he came down slowly and slowly with a smile on his face. The seven people formed a group, followed by the peacock in black clothes and entered the table.
Chu Jianghan looked confused. Just when he was about to ask his sworn brother, he felt dizzy again. Just as he was raising his breath, he felt that his dantian was empty. How could he raise any breath? Suddenly, his eyesight went black again, and he fainted immediately. .
What happened to Young Master Chu? Let’s look at the breakdown next time.
