"Zhao Feilong? His surname is actually Zhao!"
Zhao Lin murmured to himself, taking off his upper body shirt and tearing off a large piece of cloth.
Liang Song asked: "Why did you take off your clothes?"
"We can't leave the city tonight. I'm worried that Beard will find us through the scent-smelling mink. There is a musky smell on these clothes, which should mislead their search."
Zhao Lin explained, looking around the street, he saw a wild dog eating garbage on the street.
He walked over, slowly approached the wild dog, suddenly flew over and held it down, wrapped a strip of cloth around it three times, and finally tied it in a tight knot.
The wild dog thought it was going to be caught for meat, so it barked like crazy and turned around and grinned.
Zhao Lin wrapped the cloth and kicked it away.
"Go ahead and run as far as possible."
The wild dog regained its freedom and immediately ran away without a trace with its tail between its legs.
The two of them didn't waste any more time, and walked around the city several times until they were sure no one was following them, and then they found an inn near the Yamen to stay.
They deliberately chose a room with easy access to all directions, making it easier to escape.
The two discussed it, Zhao Lin stayed for the first half of the night, and Liang Song stayed for the second half of the night.
Liang Song was sleepy and tired, and soon fell asleep. Zhao Lin stared at the door, not feeling sleepy at all.
Today was the closest he had come to death in his life.
Recalling the frightening moment before, I felt like I had narrowly escaped death, and I still have lingering fears.
That extremely sharp sword was always lingering in his mind.
too strong!
Senior brother Yuan Cheng is also in the Qi realm. Zhao Lin has compared with him. Although he is not his opponent, he does not feel that he is much better than him.
But facing the ruthless pillar sent by Huzi, he felt an overwhelming feeling of powerlessness.
No wonder Zhu Huaishan once asked him whether state or actual combat was more important.
It seems that in the same realm, the strength may be very different.
Yuan Cheng has been practicing martial arts in Liuhe Sect and has not much actual combat experience, but most of it comes from competitions with the same sect or competitions between martial arts schools.
It only determines the superiority and inferiority, regardless of life and death.
The ruthless pillar Zhao Feilong is a man who kills people like crazy and has experienced life and death for a long time.
There is a huge difference in life and death combat experience between the two.
Zhao Lin originally thought that he would just run away when he encountered an enemy he couldn't defeat, but now he realized that he wanted to be simple.
The enemy was hiding in the dark and attacking, and he had no power to fight back. If Liang Song hadn't used his sword to interrupt the opponent's rhythm, he might have become a corpse.
Even the speed that he was proud of, the speed with which he could dodge and maneuver in a small space, and rush and sprint, the opponent was not weaker than him.
Unless I also practice Qi realm...
It's a pity that the realm takes time to develop and cannot be achieved overnight.
Zhao Lin thought about it and couldn't think of any good way to deal with it.
"Bang bang bang bang..."
"It's safe and sound..."
The sound of four-minute bangs sounded on the street, and Zhao Lin realized that it was already past midnight. He woke up Liang Song, fell on the bed, and fell asleep in a daze.
…
"Although Liuhe stick method is called Liuhe, the method is completely different from boxing method. It emphasizes fierce attack, quick and changeable, simple movements, and tight connection..."
In the courtyard of Liuhemen, Zhao Lin and Sun Xiaofan each held a half-length stick and stood facing each other. Yuan Cheng stood aside and gave instructions to them.
Originally, according to the rules of the Liuhe Sect, one would practice boxing in the first year of entry, and only start learning to use weapons in the second year.
Zhao Lin experienced yesterday's assassination, realized the power of the sword, and asked to learn in advance.
Zhu Huaishan understood his current situation and asked Yuan Cheng to teach him and Sun Xiaofan the Liuhe stick technique.
"Liuhe stick is not just a stick technique. It can be used as a knife or a sword when held in one hand. It can be used as a stick or a spear when held in both hands. The steps must be light and the strength must be flexible..."
Yuan Cheng demonstrated while talking.
Zhao Lin studied extremely seriously and practiced repeatedly according to the stick method routine.
He now only knows two weapons, the throwing ax and the stabbing gun, which are difficult to use in a real fight.
Sun Xiaofan said with a smile: "Senior Brother Yuan, why do we have to use sticks as swords and guns instead of real swords and guns?"
Zhao Lin also had this question and couldn't help but look at Yuan Cheng.
Yuan Cheng glared at Sun Xiaofan, "Why, using a stick is not exciting?"
Sun Xiaofan scratched his hair and said: "I think the sword is easy to carry and powerful, hehe..."
Yuan Cheng raised his eyebrows and said: "An ordinary steel knife costs two taels of silver, and a double-edged sword costs twice as much."
"If you fight hard enough, you can sharpen the blade in a day. If you practice like this, it will cost you dozens of taels of silver a month. Can you afford it?"
"The price is sky-high!"
Sun Xiaofan stuck out his tongue and said, "Forget it then."
Yuan Cheng said seriously: "Money is only one thing. Swords and guns have no eyesight, and it is easy to accidentally hurt someone. A wooden stick is strong and durable, and it will not kill anyone if it is hit on the body..."
At dusk, Zhao Lin finished his day of martial arts practice and went to the blacksmith shop to buy a whistle stick.
The whistle stick is a short protective stick used by Wu Song in the Water Margin. It is made of beef tendon wood and is difficult to cut with ordinary swords.
The head of the stick is covered with iron, and it can make a whistle when it is swung, hence the name whistle stick.
Two days passed in a flash.
When Zhao Lin and Liang Song left the city, they didn't encounter any more beards. This made them feel uneasy and felt invisible pressure.
They would not be naive enough to think that Huzi could let the two of them go. The ruthless Zhu Zhao Feilong was like a poisonous snake hiding in the dark, and could strike the two of them at any time.
That night, Zhao Lin and Liang Song left the city, carrying a wild dog in their hands.
Halfway through the journey, let go of the coated wild dog and sprinkle chili powder along the way.
At present, this method seems to be feasible, but it is a bit expensive.
Beard’s musk is made by themselves, and they don’t know the formula, so this method cannot be used all the time.
Out of caution, the two of them did not spend the night in Zhou Paotou's cellar tonight.
Always going to one place will inevitably reveal your flaws.
Taking advantage of the darkness, the two came to the cliff of the North Ridge of Baekdu Mountain.
There are many "Kilns for Death" built a long time ago. There was a famine last year and several old people died here.
It's late summer and early autumn, and the weather is hot. You only need to spread a layer of hay to spend a night here.
Zhao Lin found a cave that looked relatively clean, and there was no smell inside. He was about to step in when three black shadows as big as a palm flew out from inside.
One of the dark figures came straight to his face.
Zhao Lin was startled and raised his hand to punch him.
Just hearing a "squeak", the black shadow fell to the ground.
Zhao Lin lowered his head and saw that it was a bat.
"What's wrong?"
Liang Song poked his head out of the cave nearby and asked.
"It's okay, a bat."
Zhao Lin replied casually.
Dots of silver light gathered together, and the spirit of the bat rose.
Zhao Lin looked at the little spirit and grinned.
This bat is small in size but has extremely large ears. Its nose and mouth are leaf-shaped and look like a chrysanthemum.
So the locals call them big-eared flying squirrels or horseshoe bats.
Horse-headed bats are accustomed to living in caves. They appear in summer to hunt for nocturnal mosquitoes and moths, which are especially common in mountains.
Zhao Lin was about to step into the cave when he suddenly felt the spirit animal picture in his mind shaking violently.
Whenever you encounter a beast spirit with special abilities, the spirit animal diagram will react. The stronger the special ability, the more violent the reaction will be.
"Isn't it just a little bat?"
Zhao Lin muttered to himself, and as soon as the words came out, he suddenly froze.
Echolocation!
