"I heard a little bit, and the people mentioned here are all famous people or martial arts. They can be regarded as the pinnacle of the world today."
"You can say that, but they are much worse than those two seniors back then. The martial arts level of those two seniors is still unmatched by anyone today. Unfortunately, these two masters have passed away long ago. However, what I just mentioned "Zhaixingqiao" refers to our Star Sword Sect's Star-Zhaining Sword Technique, and my uncle's Star-Zhaining Sword Technique is the pinnacle of excellence."
"It turns out that Brother Murong's sect is so powerful!"
"But even my uncle dare not claim to be the best in the world. What's more, I once heard from my master that these people are just famous, and there are some masters who act low-key, so they are not widely known. So Mo Bai, many things have been heard and Seeing is different. You are new to the world, and you are a pure-hearted person. There are good and evil in the world, but you still need to see, identify and test everything. The world you will recognize later is yours. Jianghu."
"When I came out of the mountains, I also wanted to enter the world and see the world."
"Don't worry, sooner or later you will have your own understanding."
At this time, Ding Diandian had returned with two bottles of wine.
"Brother Murong, you stingy man, I was originally going to take these two bottles of craft plum wine back, but now I can only give you an advantage."
"Since it's a gift from the little girl, you're welcome."
"Brother Murong, where are you going next?" Chen Mobai asked.
"Originally I also wanted to come to northern Sichuan to visit. Now that I'm here this time, I plan to continue traveling here. I heard that there is a statue erected in honor of the Demon Lord in Shanghe City. I want to pay my respects to it."
"Demon Lord?"
"Over the past hundreds of years, many people have been able to reach the state of masters, and there are also some people who have been able to enter the state of selflessness. However, only the senior who is called the Demon Lord and another senior who is called the sage have reached the state of selflessness in the past hundred years. A realm above me.”
"Then I think these two seniors should be considered legends."
"Of course it's a legend. It's the pinnacle of martial arts that all the masters in the martial arts can only hope to reach. How stingy you are, you know how far behind you are."
"How dare I compare with people like that? By the way, Brother Murong, if you don't mind, I would like to go with you, is it okay?"
"If Mo Bai is willing to travel together, of course it would be best."
When Ding Diandian heard this, he ignored himself again and quit immediately.
"Why don't you always remember to take me with you! I haven't seen the Demon Lord statue before, and I want to see it too!"
"You don't have to go back?"
"This... Anyway, Master said that he would let me go down the mountain even later, so just think it's early. And I feel like it would be fun to be with you, so I don't want to wait until I'm alone."
Chen Mobai smiled and said: "Well, it will be more lively with a little one like you here."
Shanghe City is thousands of miles away from Wangjiang City, and the three of them were leisurely and chatting and laughing along the way.
Hundreds of miles north of Wangjiang City is Niutou Mountain, so named because it is shaped like a horn. It was once a famous tourist destination, and there were many villages and towns surrounding this mountain. Times have changed, and the once bustling Niutoushan is no longer what it once was.
After the changes in the court and the turbulent times, Niutoushan was occupied by groups of bandits and bandits, killing and plundering the surrounding towns. The chaos of those years can still be seen in the ruined city walls and dilapidated abandoned villages.
There are also some villages where people still live. Most of these people are people whose ancestors have taken root here. Even if they are often harassed, they have no intention of leaving. Of course, because of poverty, they have no ability to leave.
"...Cow...Tou...Village!"
Ding Diandian recited the barely visible words on the broken stone tablet at the entrance to the village.
"I heard that Niutoushan used to attract many guests to visit it because of its beautiful scenery. This place used to be very lively, but now it is like this."
The three of them walked into the village, and the villagers seemed to look at them expectantly.
Feeling a little uncomfortable with the villagers' eyes, Dingdian tugged on Chen Mobai's sleeves and said, "Why do I feel like these people look at us weirdly."
"It's a little strange."
At this time, a villager came forward and asked, "Excuse me, how is Niutou Town doing now?"
Chen Mobai was confused by the question.
"Niutou Town?"
Murong Tianji didn't know why, so he asked: "Old man, where is the Niutou Town you mentioned?"
"Aren't you sent by that gentleman?"
Ding Diandian shook his head vigorously.
Looking at Ding Diandian and the other two people, the villager was a little disappointed, so he asked, "Who are you?"
“We were just passing by, but I’ve heard for a long time that Niutoushan was once a beautiful place, so we wanted to visit it.”
"No, no, there are evil people on Niutou Mountain, don't go."
"Since there are evil people, why don't you run away?" Ding Diandian asked.
"Our village is poor. They came once or twice and found nothing of value, so they didn't bother to pay attention to us. And two months ago, a high-ranking man came. He was kind-hearted and had good intentions. He not only suppressed the evil people on Niutou Mountain, but also He often helps people in the village and wants to build a new Niutou Town for us."
Murong Tianji felt that something was fishy, and was about to continue asking questions. Before she could speak, she was interrupted by a loud voice coming from a house not far away.
"Hey! You little liars can deceive the honest people in the village, but you can't deceive me."
After hearing the sound, only people were talking but no one was seen coming out of the house, but there was clearly strong hostility in the words.
When the villager saw this man, he said, "Don't pay attention to this man. He was also a traveler. When he passed by our village, he happened to catch up with the gentleman who was doing charity not long ago, so we entertained him kindly. Who knew that this man would become ill after eating meat? He changed his face and insisted that the gentleman was a liar and wanted to hold him accountable. We tried to persuade him but he refused to listen, so we locked him up."
Ding Diandian looked at the house and asked quietly: "So this person is sick?"
Chen Mobai shook his head and said, "It's hard to say."
Then he approached the house and said inside: "Dare I ask this brother..."
"Don't waste your time on me. Although I don't know what kind of sweet words you used to deceive the people in this village, I can't do it to you."
"My friend, I think you misunderstood."
Chen Mobai was about to explain.
"...It turns out it was a misunderstanding. I'm sorry, please open the door."
Chen Mobai sighed and untied the chain tied to the door.
As soon as the door was opened, the roaring wind of fists was already coming.
Fortunately, Chen Mobai kept an eye out, stepped aside to get out of the way, and said quickly: "Listen to me first..."
"Stop making any noise!"
Before the attack was successful, the man's punching path suddenly changed. Chen Mobai was startled by this unexpected attack and quickly moved to block it.
"The response is quick!"
The man said something disdainfully, and then punched him twice.
As soon as Chen Mobai received the punch, he felt pain in his palm, which showed that the opponent's martial arts was not bad.
This time, the fist was stronger, and the air wave came with the fist.
At this moment, Chen Mobai could only find a way to restrain the other party before he could speak.
The opponent has no weapons, his moves are hard but soft, and his strength is strong. Chen Mobai simply did not take out the iron rod and fought with the opponent fist to fist.
Seeing this, the old villager was a little worried and said: "This, this, what can we do..."
Murong Tianji observed the two of them carefully and couldn't help but praise: "This man's boxing skills are so clingy, and they are quite similar to the "Tang Zi Jue" in swordsmanship. What surprised me even more was that Mo Bai also studied in boxing skills. , faced with such an offensive, they actually chose to attack each other, and this pursuit style seems to be more subtle."
"Brother Murong, if you don't go up to help, why do you still have time to comment here?"
"Although that person was rude, he was bare-handed after all. It would be somewhat disgraceful for Mo Bai and I to fight two against one."
"It depends on the situation. At this time, we don't care about glory or not!"
"Don't worry, Dian Dian, Mo Bai can handle it enough."
"Hmph! Brother Murong is also a deadbeat!"
While talking, Chen Mobai had already exchanged dozens of moves. Their fists and shadows were intertwined, and the two of them were looking for each other's openings in a circle less than one foot away.
The two fought for more than a dozen moves, but still had no success. The opponent suddenly sank. After letting Chen Mobai punch him, he suddenly raised his shoulder and pressed it against Chen Mobai's chest.
This might seem like nothing, but it's actually no worse than a solid punch.
Chen Mobai only felt that his energy and blood were surging, and his Ji Luck Qi was relieved.
"What? You think I will keep sparring with you? To tell you the truth, I can beat you everywhere."
"It's indeed unexpected. In this case, I won't be polite to you anymore."
Chen Mobai didn't make any excuses, took off the iron rod and repositioned himself.
The other party glanced at Chen Mobai's weapon with disdain, smiled and said: "Is this your weapon? Just a broken stick? Okay, today I will let you see what your Grandpa Mo Zui is capable of."
After saying that, a smell of alcohol emanated from Mo Zui's body, and at the same time, his figure gradually began to become erratic.
"careful."
Murong Tianji saw the opponent's moves and quickly reminded him.
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Mobai received a punch.
It's not that he was careless, but he clearly saw that the opponent was hitting him from his left side, but he was actually hit from the right side. However, the attack was not over yet. Mo Zui's boxing style did not give Chen Mobai time to adapt, and his moves became unpredictable.
Mo Zui's steps were filled with dust, the wind from his fists swept by, and his vision gradually became blurred. Chen Mobai could only judge the opponent's attack by the sound of fists that cut through the air.
The original feint might turn into a real move, and the real move might turn into a feint. Mo Zui's attack sometimes turns into a fake move, sometimes it turns into a fake move, and the combination of fake and real moves is uncertain. Chen Mobai, who was originally passive, began to adapt to the opponent's punches in this situation, and suddenly found the opportunity to take two steps away. A large amount of Qi gathered in the hand holding the iron rod. He closed his eyes, his auricles trembled slightly, and he leaned down very quickly. While he was trying to avoid it, he hit Mo Zui in the abdomen with a stick.
Woo.
Mo Zui felt his stomach churn, and then he lay on the ground and vomited.
Chen Mobai didn't take advantage of others' danger.
"oh……"
Suddenly he groaned and started rubbing all parts of his body.
"I said you didn't strike lightly or harshly, you really beat me to death." Then he pretended to complain: "Brother Murong, why are you looking at me and not helping me?"
Murong Tianji smiled and said: "If he was really a villain, I would have taken action from the beginning. It's just that he seemed to be angry, but not at all violent. He only wanted to defeat you rather than kill you. It just so happened that I was also very curious about your martial arts. , this is a rare opportunity to observe. Was that last move also a Fuji-style power technique?"
"Um."
After the dust cleared, Mo Zui slowly straightened up and retched a few more times.
"You... ugh, you bastard has no martial ethics, hit... ugh, hit me in the stomach... yuck..."
Chen Mobai and the others looked at Mo Zui and couldn't help but laugh.
"You're the bastard, you were the one who attacked us first." Ding Diandian raised his eyebrows and said angrily.
Murong Tianji answered: "This brother must have misunderstood us. The three of us were just passing by here."
"I saw through the window that you were trying to deceive the villagers again, and you also mentioned that bullshit expert. It was clear that you wanted to continue to deceive others."
