Time is like water, no matter how you reach out to hold it back, it will slip through your fingers unknowingly.
In the blink of an eye, the twelve years of Hongzhi are coming to an end.
In the past nearly a year, after Hu Yun's expert diagnosis and treatment, Zhu Youtang's health has improved greatly, and he is no longer as weak and sickly as before.
The king of a country has an important relationship with the society, so Zhu Youtang's changes naturally cannot be hidden from others for a long time. Even Hu Yuan, who diagnosed him, was finally found out by someone who was interested.
Then there will be endless troubles on Hu Long's head.
Because of Zhu Youtang's relationship, these troubles did not come from the government, but from the Jianghu.
The first to find Hu Yuan's family were the three most senior elders of the Beggar Clan. The reason was to question the Beggar Clan disciple "Evil-faced Beggar" Xu Dachuan who was killed by Ah Fei.
Hu Long knew that the person who came was not a good person, so he didn't bother to explain who was right and wrong. He just asked the other person to explain it to him.
The three elders asked Ah Fei to break into the "dog-fighting array" set up by sixteen Beggar Clan disciples and settle their grudges with victory or death.
Hu Long wanted to train Ah Fei, so he agreed without any hesitation.
Ah Fei went straight into the formation with the "Rose Sword". The sword came out and sealed his throat before returning until it was bloody.
The "dog-beating formation" formed by the sixteen Beggar Gang masters had no chance of functioning, so one after another they fell to the ground with blood spattered from their throats and died.
When the three elders of the Beggar Clan saw this, they were furious. They all jumped out and accused A Fei of being preemptive and not practicing martial ethics, and frequently killing people and falling into evil ways. They wanted to capture him and take him away for punishment.
Hu Long was so angry that he had nothing to say, so he immediately went down to take the joint attack from the three elders. Within ten moves, he printed a palm on each of the three people's dantian, dissipating all their internal energy and paralyzing their strength. Martial arts.
This method was more ruthless than killing, and all the Beggar Clan disciples accompanying him were frightened, so they carried the three feeble elders and more than a dozen corpses and left in despair.
After that, several waves of people from the Jianghu came, some came to provoke in the name of seeking revenge, fighting, etc., and some sneaked in at night to carry out assassinations.
Hu Long was disturbed by these people and couldn't even have peace during the New Year. In anger, he became more and more cruel.
Those who came to the door head-on were killed or crippled by their masters and disciples, and none of them could escape completely; those who sneaked in secretly fell into the poison trap set by Hu Long and died inexplicably as soon as they entered the house. Hu Long took out the "corpse powder" he prepared and made him evaporate.
Gradually, Master Hu Long and his disciples became more and more famous in the world, and the house where they lived was even rumored to be a place of terror like the Hell of Hell.
As a result, the people who still dared to come to them for trouble naturally became more and more powerful. The last person who openly came to the door was still a member of the Beggar Clan. He was ranked last among the four elders of the Beggar Clan, but his martial arts was the best among the Beggar Clan. Zhuge Gang, the "Diamond Iron Crucible" ranked eighth in the "Weapons Spectrum".
Hu Long remembered that he was a one-legged man when he appeared in the original work, but now he has two legs. But since the other party dares to cause trouble for me, it is not the turn of others to chop off that leg.
The two sides exchanged more than twenty moves outside the door. Hu Long used his bare hands to seize Zhuge Gang's sixty-three kilogram diamond iron crutch, which was said to "sweep thousands of armies". He first used his backhand to knock the opponent's legs apart. He broke his knees like a knife and an ax, then used his strength to twist the iron crutch into a twist and threw it next to the opponent, shocking the crowd who gathered to watch the battle from a distance.
After this battle, everyone knew that Hu Long was afraid of having the strength to compete for the top spot in the "Weapons Spectrum". Until he could find a master who could compete with him, those who were resentful towards Hu Long could only temporarily cease their activities.
In the blink of an eye, the first month of the thirteenth year of Hongzhi's reign came. On this day, Hu Long was teaching Zhu Houzhao martial arts at home.
Due to troubles a few days ago, Hu Yuan sent a message asking him to stay in the palace, and he also specifically told Zhu Youtang about the matter.
Under Zhu Youtang's control, although Zhu Houzhao was extremely eager to witness the scenes of swords and swords, he could only stay in the palace for more than a month. It was not until he heard that peace had been restored here that Hu Yuan asked Zhu for help. Youtang agreed, and Zhang Yong was still escorting him to see Hu Long.
Hu Yuan was teaching him the subtle changes of a set of boxing techniques. His ears, which were much better than ordinary people's hearing, suddenly caught some unusual sounds. He immediately stopped and turned to Ah Fei, who was practicing swordsmanship by himself, and said: "There are guests visiting outside. This time, he doesn’t look like he’s looking for trouble, so go and wait outside the door.”
Ah Fei walked out quickly after taking the order. Just as he stood at the door, he saw a tall figure as tall as a mountain walking slowly from the far corner of the street.
He was a man all in black, with a black headscarf, black clothes, black shoes and socks, and a thick black sword with a black sheath on his back. There was only a child of six or seven years old with a pale face in his arms. Not black.
This middle-aged man, who was about thirty years old, walked steadily, and every step he took was three feet away, no more than one step, and no more than one step, as if he was taking steps according to a ruler.
Feeling the sharp sword energy faintly dissipating from the opponent's body, A Fei closed his eyes slightly and involuntarily pressed his right hand on the hilt of the "Rose Sword" at his waist.
The man immediately felt the reaction and looked up at Ah Fei with a hint of approval in his eyes. He still maintained the exact speed and size under his feet and walked to the door step by step.
A smile appeared on his cold-as-iron face, and he spoke in a sonorous voice like gold and stone: "This must be Taoist Master Hu Long's disciple A Fei Shao Xia? Please inform the respected master that Guo Songyang needs to see you!"
"Songyang Iron Sword?" A Fei's eyes narrowed, and his eyes once again fell on the simple and heavy black sword behind the other party.
At the same time, Hu Long's soft voice, as if there was no trace of fireworks, floated from the backyard and clearly reached the ears of the two of them: "A Fei, please invite Master Guo to come in!"
When he heard this voice, the expression on Guo Songyang's face changed slightly, and he said four words to the door: "I admire you! I'm sorry!"
When Ah Fei led Guo Songyang inside, Hu Long and Zhu Houzhao were already standing at the hall door to greet them.
After the two parties met, Hu Long did not greet Guo Songyang first. Instead, he raised his hand and flew out three silver needles, shooting them at the child in his arms.
Guo Songyang saw the silver needle flying towards him, but he did not dodge and allowed the silver needle to prick the child.
After the silver needle entered the body, the child's tight breathing suddenly became much calmer, and some color returned to the pale face.
Hu Yuan said: "No matter how serious the injury is, Pindao's 'three life-threatening injections' can protect this child from death within twelve hours. Guo Daxia can stop delivering Qi to him."
Hearing this, Guo Songyang released his generous palm that had been pressing the child's back without leaving a trace, bowed slightly towards Hu Long and said, "Thank you very much. I also ask the Taoist Priest to use his wonderful hands to completely heal this child's injury." , then Guo would be extremely grateful."
Hu Long first invited Guo Songyang to sit indoors, and then asked with some curiosity: "How does Guo Daxia know that this poor man knows the art of Qihuang?"
A look of shame appeared on Guo Songyang's face: "A few days ago, Guo was competing with others in Baoding Prefecture. On a whim, he failed to contain a sword energy and accidentally injured the child who suddenly ran out. Fortunately, Li Xunhuan won the top prize last year. After Mr. Li’s advice, I found out that Taoist Hu Yuan was a Qihuang sage, so he immediately brought the child to seek medical treatment.”
"So that's it," Hu Yun suddenly realized, and then laughed again, "To be able to make Hero Guo unable to contain his sword energy and affect others, that person's martial arts must be extremely powerful, but I don't know... Hey, is it really 'say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will come' , that one actually came too."
As soon as he finished speaking, a cold and arrogant voice came from outside the door: "My Lord, Lu Feng, please see Taoist Master Hu Yuan!"
