In the next few days, Li Siye taught Jiangshuo Mo Dao techniques in the Khotan Palace. Mo Dao techniques were practical techniques refined by generations of Mo Dao generals since the end of the Han Dynasty. They did not belong to any martial arts sect, so they were also taught. There is no escaping it. With Jiang Shuo's intelligence, he learned all the moves in one day and practiced them proficiently in five days. However, it was not as easy to use them as he imagined.
Although Li Siye is not a martial arts master, Mo Dao's fighting method seems simple, but the practical combat skills accumulated and evolved over five hundred years in the late Han Dynasty have their own uniqueness. Mo Dao's fighting method is not about the moves, but the application. Each ordinary move has a completely different effect when faced with different people and different tactics. There is also a section where the power is even more amazing when teammates cooperate with each other in the battle formation.
Jiang Shuo was obsessed with martial arts, so he naturally practiced it with gusto. He used a "small Mo Dao" made of seven-star swords connected end to end. However, when he danced according to the method taught by Li Siye, it lacked the agility and elegance of the Pei family's swordsmanship. However, it has a more chilling and heavy feeling, and seems to be more in line with the essence of the Shenshu Sword carved on the golden wall of Maoshan Mountain.
In addition to learning Mo Dao, he also listened to Li Siye and Yu Chi Sheng telling anecdotes about the Western Regions every day. Time seemed to pass very fast. It was not until almost a month later, at sunset, that Jiang Shuo remembered that he had spent this month He didn't even take a step out of Khotan Palace, and Dugu Xiang didn't come to see him for a day.
Jiang Shuo and Dugu Xiang have been together every day and night since they met again. Although they have never done anything obscene or inappropriate, the two of them have a deep affection for each other. It is unprecedented for them not to see each other for ten months like this. thing.
Xiang'er must have come quietly. Seeing that he was only learning Mo Dao with Brother Li and had forgotten her, he left in anger. Thinking of this, Jiang Shuo couldn't help feeling apologetic, but he was also afraid that Xiang'er and the others had left quietly, so he hurriedly asked Ming Wei Chi Sheng, only to find out that Xiang'er, his grandfather, and parents were still in Khotan City. Jiang Shuo asked where they lived. , bid farewell to Li Siye and Yuchi Sheng, and went to find Xiang'er.
It turns out that Dugu Xiang, Ge Ruliang and his wife, and Dugu Wen also lived in the palace city, but in other courtyards. The Khotan palace city was a fortress built on a cliff. The palace city was not as flat and open as Luoyang in Chang'an, but it was There are many courtyard houses on top of each other, and Dugu Xiang lives on another cliff.
It was already dark at that time, and there were no lamps in the courtyard. Only two houses had lights on.
Jiang Shuo shouted: "Xiang'er, Xiang'er, I'm coming to find you."
I didn't expect that when the door opened, it was Ge Ruliang who came out.
Ge Ruliang crossed his hands respectfully and said, "Young Master, this subordinate is polite."
Jiang Shuo said in shock: "Master Ge, there is no need to be so polite...I, I..."
He couldn't think of a reason to look for Xiang'er at the moment. If he said that looking for her to play with her seemed to be losing his status as an "alliance leader," he was hesitating. Ge Ruliang said seriously: "Young Master, I have something I must ask Young Master."
Jiang Shuo didn't need to be polite when he called Ge Ruliang, but he became more and more respectful, standing beside him with his hands folded and his heart in his hands. With his behavior like this, Jiang Shuo couldn't help but become more reserved and said in return: "Master Ge, what teachings do you have, but it doesn't matter." .”
Ge Ruliang said: "I don't take the teachings seriously. It's just a matter of concern for my little girl. Ge waited here for a month for the young master to explain it to him face to face."
When Jiang Shuo heard that it was related to Xiang'er, he was shocked at first. Could it be that something happened to Xiang'er? I couldn't help but stretched my head to look at the house behind Ge Ruliang. I saw the lights in the house were dim, and there seemed to be a moving figure. Ge Ruliang's expression was as normal, and it didn't look like there was an accident.
While Jiang Shuo was thinking wildly, he heard Ge Ruliang say slowly: "Young Master, you and my daughter have known each other since childhood. At that time, we were just childhood sweethearts when we traveled together. Now that you are both grown men and women, you will continue to be like this day and night. It would be inconsistent with etiquette to mix together."
Jiang Shuo was shocked when he heard this. His experience in martial arts was unmatched by his peers, but he knew very little about human ethics and etiquette. He had never thought that there was anything wrong with him and Xiang'er traveling together like this. After Ge Ruliang said, I also felt that something was indeed wrong.
Seeing that he was staying where he was, Ge Ruliang gave another salute and continued: "Young master has a charming character and may not care about secular education. However, although Dugu and Zhuge are not wealthy families, they are also heirs of poetry and etiquette. Isn't this the ridicule of the world?" ? If not, let my daughter follow my wife and I back to Jiangnan."
Jiang Shuo was stunned and quickly waved his hands and said:
"No, no, no..."
Ge Ruliang bowed and said, "It's getting late, young master, please go back."
Jiang Shuo was speechless and could only continue: "No, no, no..."
Ge Ruliang bowed his head like a wood carving and clay sculpture, motionless and stopped talking.
In the midst of embarrassment, the door behind Ge Ruliang suddenly opened again, and it was Xiang'er's grandfather Dugu Wen who came out.
Dugu asked: "Okay, okay, Ge'er, why do you have to talk so heartlessly to Shuoer..." He turned to Jiang Shuo and said: "Actually, there is no way you can travel together..."
Before Jiang Shuo could ask what the method was, Ge Ruliang interrupted: "Master! Don't mention this matter! If you act like this, won't I become the laughing stock of the world?"
Dugu Wen rolled his eyes and said, "What's the laughing stock? They have been in love since childhood. What's wrong with them being in love? I don't think anyone dares to laugh at him?"
Ge Ruliang said: "Master, don't you know that people's words are terrible? There are always people who point fingers behind my back, saying that I, Ge Ruliang, am clinging to the leader of the alliance. What's more, they just think that we set up a trap a few years ago, so they give me a blackmail." The young master is guilty of ordering the princes, how can I defend him?"
Dugu Wen shook his head and said angrily: "Gerte must be pedantic. I joined the world just because I was tired of worldly etiquette, but I ended up being so jealous when I hired a son-in-law."
Jiang Shuo was confused by the conversation between the two of them and asked, "Grandpa, what are you talking about? Why can't I understand?"
Dugu Wen stepped forward and tugged at Jiang Shuo and said, "You silly boy, you still don't understand? As long as you marry Xiang'er, the two of you will be free to travel anywhere in the world, what else do you have to worry about?"
Hearing this, Jiang Shuo blushed with embarrassment and said, "This... this..."
It was already dark at that time, and Dugu Wen couldn't see Jiang Shuo's face clearly, so he urged, "What, you don't want to?"
Jiang Shuo said: "No...no..."
Dugu asked, patting him on the head and saying, "Nothing? You silly boy is really worried about me to death."
Ge Ruliang stamped his feet and said, "Master, you are forcing the young master to do so much. It's as if my daughter can't get married."
Dugu Wen said to Jiang Shuo, "Don't be afraid of Ge'er. What do you want? Grandpa will make the decision for you!"
Jiang Shuo and Xiang'er have been in love since childhood. During the battle in the West Sea, Jiang Shuo fell into the glacier to save Xiang'er. Xiang'er waited for him in the West Sea for three years. After they reunited, they couldn't live without each other for a moment. Ordinarily Xiang'er was He was willing to be his daughter-in-law, but Jiang Shuo and Xiang'er's childhood sweethearts had never thought about male marriage and female marriage. Today, when Dugu Wen suddenly mentioned it, Jiang Shuo couldn't help but be stunned, and he didn't know how to answer for a moment.
When he was in confusion, he suddenly heard a very slight sound outside the courtyard wall, which sounded like a gasp or a sigh. Jiang Shuo subconsciously shouted: "Who is it?"
Dugu Wen and Ge Ruliang were both top masters, so they naturally noticed that there was someone outside the wall. The two of them were more experienced in martial arts. Without saying a word, the person slipped towards the wall silently.
The two of them had the same light skill in Star Step, which was only half a step higher than Jiang Shuo's. They didn't even see them jumping. In an instant, they were like two pale shadows that lightly crossed the wall and reached the outside.
He heard Ge Ruliang scolding: "Little demon girl, it's you!" He slapped the air with a "Hoo".
Jiang Shuo slowed down by half a step, and now he had jumped up to the wall. He saw Ge Ruliang and Dugu Wen surrounded by a man in black. Ge Ruliang was fighting with the man in black inside with his flying palm, and Dugu Wen was fighting with him outside. Ge Ruliang walked in the opposite direction, blocking the path of the man in black.
The man in black had extraordinary skills, and he actually fought Ge Ruliang back and forth. Ge Ruliang's boxing and kicking skills were comparable to those of the Zhuge family of the God of Kongtong Mountain Fist Sect. They may not be considered the best in the world, but his light kung fu came from Zhui Yunzhui. Yuesou Duguwen's true biography can be said to be unrivaled in the martial arts world.
However, not only was the man in black not inferior to Ge Ruliang in terms of fists and feet, but he was also light-footed and could walk across the palace as if he were a star. Looking at her slender figure and graceful posture, she is not Li Zhuer.
Jiang Shuo blurted out: "Sister Zhu'er, why is it you?"
In her busy schedule, Li Zhuer slapped Ge Ruliang with a palm and forced Ge Ruliang to retreat. She smiled at Jiang Shuo and said, "After all, I'm here to congratulate you on bringing home this beautiful woman and finally getting married to Xiang'er."
Jiang Shuo blushed and said, "I didn't..."
Dugu Wen said angrily: "
What does the little demon girl want? "As he said this, he rushed into the inner circle with a wrong step, and struck Li Zhuer's shoulder with his palm.
Li Zhuer's martial arts originated from Beimingzi's lineage. When Beimingzi invited fights everywhere, although he rarely met an opponent, during the competition, he integrated the Central Plains martial arts into his own martial arts, and also figured out various The way to restraint.
Beimingzi didn't have any sect inheritance, and he didn't follow any routine when teaching martial arts. Later, he taught all his kung fu to Kong Kong'er. When Kong Kong'er passed it on to Li Zhu'er, he didn't know what his original intention was, but today Li Zhu'er used it , and found that his own martial arts contained various ways to restrain the martial arts of the Central Plains.
Li Zhuer is also one of the rare people with a bright mind. When she first fought with Ge Ruliang, she was still timid. Come.
When Dugu Wen was about to slash Li Zhuer's shoulder with his sword, he suddenly felt as if he had been hit by a talc in the water, unable to bear the force, and his palm slipped to the side. He was shocked. This was exactly the trick dictated by Bei Mingzi on Yuxiao Peak. This trick seemed ordinary, but it required profound internal strength and exquisite combination of moves to be effective. Unexpectedly, Li Zhuer was so young. To be able to use such skill.
Dugu Wen was confused in his heart but kept walking. He stepped behind Li Zhuer and pressed his palm on her waist.
With Dugu Wen's body skills, even if Kong Konger came in person, he could only be tied in Qinggong. Li Zhuer naturally couldn't turn around. Originally, Dugu Wen casually tapped her acupuncture points, and Li Zhuer would definitely not be able to react in time, but he went to press Li Zhuer's acupuncture points. Er waist eye, but it was a trick used in the verbal fight at Yuxiaofeng, and Li Zhuer knew the solution.
Li Zhuer suddenly jumped up along the peak of his palm, drew an arc, and jumped over Dugu Wen's shoulder. This arc was carefully calculated. At this moment, if Dugu Wen raised his hand to hit Li Zhuer Because his joints were restricted, not only could he not hit her, but he would also dislocate his shoulder. Knowing how powerful it was, Dugu Wen could only keep his palms in his hands, turn around with his shoulders, and swing his left palm to strike again.
Originally, according to Beimingzi's fighting method, he had to capture his left shoulder again, but Li Zhuer did not have such skill. With a flick of her foot, she had already circled from the inside of the circle to the outside. Dugu Wen looked at her and said, "You are Beimingzi." His disciple?"
Li Zhu'er didn't dare to fight, so she floated and swung several feet away, crossed her hands and said, "Chai Yuesou is indeed a good trick, but Zhu'er has something important to attend to. I will ask my senior for tips another day, so I'll take my leave now."
Seeing that she was leaving, Jiang Shuo hurriedly asked, "Sister Zhu'er, what's the emergency? Are you looking for me?"
