When he heard the other party announce his name, which had been out of the martial arts world for many years, Hu Long put his palms up without thinking and said with a smile: "Who am I talking about? It turns out to be Senior Liu, one of the 'Sweden Two Cranes'. Senior Liu was famous as a knight in the past." Xiang later put more emphasis on loyalty than fame and wealth, and took the initiative to hand over the position of head of the 'Weituo Sect' to Junior Brother Yu Ling. Although the junior is ignorant and ignorant, he must sincerely say 'Long time admiration' to the senior!"
Hearing the other party casually tell his origin, Liu Hezhen was not only not overjoyed, but also felt a bit wary in his heart.
In his early years, he did gain the title of "Sweden Twin Cranes" from his junior brother Wan Hesheng, but when he was about thirty years old, he chose to retire from the world, and later remained anonymous until now. Don't say that the other person is young, even the older generation in the martial arts world should have forgotten his role long ago. What's more, when he resigned as head of the clan, few people even knew about it within the "Sweden Sect", let alone outsiders.
Hu Yuan's eyebrows were clear, and he could already guess what he was thinking just by seeing the slight change in his expression. He lowered his voice to the point where only Liu Hezhen, his wife, could hear him, and said: "The Ming Dynasty restored the Qing Dynasty, and the mother, the earth, the father sky."
Liu Hezhen and his wife were stunned for a moment, and their expressions changed slightly at the same time, and Liu Hezhen immediately showed a look of surprise again.
Hearing Hu Yuan pronounce the "Tiandihui" words upside down to reveal his identity, he thought at that time that it was not surprising that the "Tiandihui" knew some things about himself because of its great power and wide range of ears and eyes.
"Ha...it's rare that the little Taoist Priest still remembers my false reputation, which really makes my face shine." Liu He was really old and mature, and he recovered his expression in an instant. He said with a smile, "I've had enough wine today. If the little Taoist Master has time, , how about we go outside and find a quiet place to have some friendship?"
Hu Long took out a piece of silver from his sleeve and put it on the table. He called to the shopkeeper at the top of the stairs and paid for the wine first. Then he smiled at Liu Hezhen and said, "I'm willing to do it, but I don't dare to invite you!"
Liu Hezhen did not show courtesy to him. He just laughed, took his wife and went straight downstairs.
Hu Long followed him, followed him out of the restaurant, led the horse and headed north out of Hengyang County, until he walked to a remote forest with no human habitation on the outskirts.
Liu Hezhen in front suddenly stopped and turned around, raised his right fist and struck Hu Long in the face.
Hu Yuan is an expert in several martial arts and has an extremely broad vision. At that time, he recognized that the opponent was using the "Three Rings of the Moon" in the "Liuhe Boxing" inherited from the "Weituomen". The three changes, even when making a fist, the index finger, middle finger, ring finger, and little finger are uneven, forming three edges and corners, which hide the profound martial arts of hitting acupuncture points, which is really powerful.
His mind was spinning very fast, and he instantly guessed the intention of the opponent's sudden attack. At that time, he let go of the reins in his hands and used the most pure Southern Shaolin stunt "Innate Arhat Fist" passed down by his father Hu Longtu to fight back. .
Both of them kept their punches in their fists but did not spit them out, and only used changes in their fists to fight. They moved away as soon as they touched each other, changing their moves very quickly, and in an instant they had exchanged more than twenty moves.
"Hold on!" Liu Hezhen suddenly shouted softly, retreated, and asked in a deep voice, "I wonder what the relationship between the little Taoist priest and the director Hu of the 'Tiandihui' is?"
Hu Long smiled and replied: "The son doesn't speak to his father. Pindao is the unworthy son of his old man."
Liu He was so happy that he raised his hands and saluted: "It is indeed the Young Helmsman in person! I was lucky enough to be granted an interview by the Chief Helmsman back then, and when I heard the Young Helmsman announce his name, I felt that the Young Helmsman's appearance was vaguely similar to that of the Chief Helmsman, so I took the liberty to test it with my martial arts. If I have offended, I would like to ask the young helmsman to forgive me."
Hu Long smiled and spoke modestly, and then asked casually: "I wanted to go to the capital for some business, so I passed through Hengyang and was lucky enough to meet my senior. But I don't know why my senior is here?"
When he heard this, Liu He showed some sadness on his true face and sighed: "To be honest, my junior brother Wan Hesheng suddenly died of a stroke a few days ago. We are two brothers, and I should do it based on emotion and reason. Come and pay your respects to his soul."
Hu Long said in surprise: "It's unexpected that such a thing happened. I have admired the name of Senior Wan for a long time. Now that I have arrived in Hengyang, it would be rude to not come in, so I would like to go with Senior to express my condolences."
"So...very good."
Liu Hezhen agreed, but felt a little confused in his heart.
The purpose of his visit this time was, firstly, to mourn his junior brother, and secondly, he heard that his junior brother passed away too hastily and without leaving a will, so that the three disciples in his sect all intended to compete for the position of the leader, and there was a faint feeling that There are some signs of brotherly hostility. As the most senior elder in the "Weituo Sect" today, his trip was also intended to eliminate the internal strife in the sect.
Liu Hezhen and Wan Hesheng had a deep bond of loyalty with each other. When his master passed away, he passed the position of master to Liu Hezhen, who was a senior brother and a superior martial artist. Not as smooth as his junior brother Wan Hesheng, he took the initiative to give up his position as head of the clan.
Although he never publicized this matter to the outside world, he was always proud of it in his heart. Now that Hu Long was coming to express his condolences, he would inevitably learn about what those unscrupulous disciples had done, and would even look down upon the "Weituo Sect" a bit because of this.
However, Hu Yuan had already spoken, and Liu Hezhen had no reason to refuse. At that time, he could only accompany his wife to Maple Leaf Village north of Hengyang.
When the three of them arrived at the village gate, they saw an old man over fifty years old walking out with a young man in his twenties and angrily. As he walked, the old man shook his head and sighed: "In the heroic life of Wan Hesheng, how come the three disciples are so incompetent? For the sake of being the leader, they actually do something in front of their master. But because of their own incompetence, they have to accept the punishment of outsiders for nothing. A humiliation and a loss of face for the 'Kedao Sect'!"
The young man said: "Master, even though the girl in purple has a loud tone, she may not be able to humiliate the three major disciples of the 'Weituo Sect'?"
The old man scolded: "What do you know, kid? When we travel around the world, the most taboo things are monks, Taoists, women and children. I see that although the girl in purple is young, her bearing and knowledge are extraordinary. She is definitely not Sun Fuhu, Yuchilian, or Yang Binsan." If they really lose in the competition, they will have to hand over the head of the sect to others according to the agreement. Even if this is just a verbal joke in the end, the 'Weituo Sect' will no longer have the dignity to gain a foothold in Sanxiang. !”
Hu Yuan and Liu Hezhen are both highly skilled people. Although the volume of these two words was not high, they could hear them clearly.
When Liu Hezhen heard that something like this had happened to his family, his face suddenly turned even uglier, and he sped up and walked straight into Maple Leaf Manor.
Hu Long tied the horse outside the village gate and followed Liu Hezhen and his wife in. At that time, he saw a group of people forming a circle in the courtyard. In the circle was a pretty girl in purple, holding a handle between her right thumb and index finger. The back of the single sword was held upside down in his hand with the handle facing outwards and the blade facing inward. He smiled brightly at the three men across from him with different descriptions and said, "Which one of you is willing to go out and try this girl's 'Liuhe Sword Technique'?"
