The Zhuojiang River goes eastward and never returns. Sometimes it is gentle and vast, sometimes it is turbid and the current is turbulent.
The county government carriage was parked, and a pair of eyes peered from in front of the Xihe Tower.
"Martial Master?"
Xiang Ji opened his eyes, and stretched out a finger from the palm of his flat knee. It was long and powerful, with protruding joints. An inch of membrane wrapped around the finger was soft, and it opened like an eagle feather. He just moved a little towards the car window, and there was an inexplicable force. Open, stir up the wind, crush the prying eyes.
Martial arts master! A whisper rang out, and in the crowd where the gaze came from, there stood a young man in gray robes with a somewhat dull face. He was about sixteen years old. At this moment, he could also feel the presence of another martial artist in the carriage, and he looked at his vitality. The level of prosperity is probably even younger than mine!
"Ping'er, don't miss the county magistrate's time." Next to the young man in gray robe, a middle-aged man with a beard glanced in the direction of the carriage, raised his hand and pressed it, and the surrounding area suddenly became quiet. The wind was calm, and even the floating waves were calm. The fallen leaves also rolled back abruptly, as if nothing had happened.
However, on the sleeve of his robe, the character 'Lu' is particularly eye-catching, embroidered with gold thread, proving his origin and identity.
"That mark is the symbol of the Lu family!"
"What? The family of the great scholar Lu Zhi, are these two really members of his clan, and are they a side branch?"
Suddenly, there was a commotion around Xihe Tower. There is a saying that the older you get in the world, the more valuable you are. It does not mean how high your martial arts is, but that you have a clear understanding of all the three religions and nine streams. For the younger generation, you can be a good person. It is a living encyclopedia.
Now it was those old youtiao who had been wandering around the world who revealed the origins of the two people, attracting bursts of looks and low shouts.
One shoulder carries the sun and the moon, and both the civil and military talents can determine the turbidity and purity. The great scholar Lu Zhi!
As soon as these words came out, there was a lively atmosphere inside and outside the building. There were people even sticking their heads out of the houses, looking at the middle-aged man and the gray-robed young man with respect. They were members of the contemporary great Confucian clan, and even considered great Confucians. Ma Rong was from the same lineage as Zheng Xuan.
Looking at the temples and martial arts all over the world, such figures are called leaders. They suppress one side and shine on an era. The long river of history cannot erase the traces of their existence.
"Family motto says, don't use the name of your family to show off and make profits, and don't be arrogant and domineering because of the name of your predecessors. Uncle, let's go in early." The gray-robed young man named Lu Ping whispered, taking a step forward He was about to enter the building and didn't want to show off too much.
There are many people in the market who want to make a name for themselves. The quickest way is to challenge the heirs of aristocratic families and sects. It’s not that they can be defeated, but that they can pass a few tricks. The result will naturally make people look at them differently.
"It seems that he is also a guest invited by the county magistrate. Let's join the banquet. Don't keep people waiting." Old doctor Huang took a long breath and trailed off. Ma Dayan, who was in charge of driving, turned over and fell down. He opened the car curtain and turned sideways. Next, please get out of the car.
What a young fellow! Looking at Xiang Ji and Ade getting out of the car, many people looked surprised. They didn't expect that the county government carriage specially picked up and dropped off would be such a young man?
Could it be that he is the descendant of some forces in Zhuo County?
Boom!
At this moment, a muffled sound came from the west end of the long street from far to near, accompanied by the violent sound of horse hooves, and pedestrians screamed from time to time.
"The Zhuojiang Giant Whale is doing some work, everyone else is waiting to get out of the way!"
"Get out, get out!"
What followed were harsh shouts, and in a blink of an eye, two big men were seen rushing towards them on horseback. I don’t know how many stalls were knocked over along the way, and some people even trampled on the luggage and fruit baskets to pieces. They all dared to get angry. Dare not speak.
Damn thing! One of the Jianghu people wanted to take action, but an old man quickly held him down and said in a low voice, "I don't want to die, that's Zhuojiang Yiba, the master of the Giant Whale Gang!"
These guys are used to being domineering. They have the family support of the wife of the governor of Youzhou behind them. They manage the transportation of goods on the river during the day, and secretly search for women and money to pay filial piety. Some cases have been suppressed. Otherwise, how can they be so domineering? They have to face When the county magistrate comes, they will only sell three points of face! If a young child like you is killed, no one will be held accountable. "
"Yes, this is not within Zhuoxian County, but a no-care zone outside the county and town. Even if someone dies, no government officials will come!"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat. Today, among the thirteen states of the Han Dynasty, Si Jiyou, Liangyi, Jingyang, Yu, Xu Qingyan; Zhuojun is in Youzhou.
There are more than twenty-nine counties and towns in the county, and the center of the government is in Zhuo County. Therefore, it is difficult for the county magistrate here to be appointed without connections, connections or achievements, and it is backed by such a big figure as the governor of Youzhou. The Giant Whale Gang has naturally become the dominant force in Zhuojiang, running rampant and unbridled.
The governor of Youzhou is a real big shot. No one in the state dares to disobey orders. Therefore, after knowing the identity of the visitor, no one dared to stop him. They all retreated from both sides of the road.
"Damn, these turtles are moving so fast. I'm just trying to bump into two of them and have fun! Think about how great it was yesterday, but those little brats dare to make faces at us? They just rode their horses and bumped into each other, trampling them into one. Damn it, hahaha, now that I think about it, looking at that old man’s face is so funny and joyful!”
"Hey, don't mention it. They are all a bunch of losers. They don't even have a good-looking girl. I've been running around for days, and I'm so tired. I can't even find a place to vent my anger. They are really a bunch of untouchables. Get away! Get away!" "
This scene made the two men in blue robes laugh loudly. The whale pictures tattooed on their chests were a little distorted. Feeling proud, they waved their riding whips again and rushed over to where Xiang Ji and the others were. Make them get out of their way.
As for being hit and killed by a big horse, so what?
Anyone who dares to embarrass their Giant Whale Gang will just have to pay some money!
"Such arrogant and domineering, it seems that he is used to bullying the locals!" Ade angrily asked, what difference does such a guy have compared to the gangsters?
They are also in the fish and meat town, bullying the people to show off their power, but if they really meet the warriors, they will shrink their heads faster than their crotches!
Xiang Ji didn't say a word, his knuckles stretched slightly, and when his fingertips slid, he heard a sound like tearing cloth. His eyes gradually became colder, and the life-changing diagram in his consciousness space lit up again. He absorbed another day's life essence and formed a hexagram. elephant:
Xiagen and Shangkan are called water and mountain jilts, which means that danger is ahead, stop when you see danger, and be wise to protect yourself.
This is the Xiaxia hexagram, and the image says: Heavy rain pours down on the ground and the sky is full of snow. Travelers on the road are suffering and cold, dragging mud and water, wasting all their efforts, and things are not going well and they are impatient.
[Ying hexagram: Stop when you see danger, be wise and wise to protect yourself, a gentleman temporarily avoids the edge and seeks stability.
Good luck - Nothing will happen and you will not be stained by dust. You can enter the banquet safely. You can become associated with the Giant Whale Gang, hide yourself and guard the front, and avoid subsequent disasters.
The evil spirit is blocked and despised by the predecessors. Everything will be seen in the eyes of the county government and guests.
Break the hexagram to get the secret, green quality, and power plan. 】
[Reverse hexagram: The road is uneven and the thoughts are blocked. A reckless man cuts his sword and sees blood for pleasure.
Ji - Zhengyi expresses his feelings, and the long street welcomes guests with cheers. He can become associated with Lu's Academy, win the favor of the county magistrate, and become famous.
Fierce - The giant whale gang has a grudge. One difficulty is in front and the other is behind. After this wind, there will be a thunderstorm.
Break the hexagram to get the secret, cyan quality, and steadfastness. 】
One disaster after another, this giant whale gang is just a pawn for the king's pioneer... When Xiang Ji saw the hexagram, he couldn't help but feel a shiver in his heart and became vigilant.
"Although the Giant Whale Gang brags about its power, the only one who really makes people lose face is the gang leader. The gang members below are nothing. For Zhuoxian County, they are not troublesome, and this Xihe Tower is not in the county town. It's inside, but it stands on the edge of the wilderness. It can be regarded as a special area with no rules."
At this time, a voice came from the Xihe Tower. I don’t know who it was, but it was a bit young.
"Huh? What kind of young boy dares to underestimate my giant whale gang? Get out of here!"
"Bold! I, the giant whale gang, are also rotten fish and shrimps and can chew their tongues?"
You have a way to die! "
The eyes of the two big men suddenly sharpened, and they opened their mouths to kill someone! It can be seen that he is used to being domineering and tyrannical on weekdays. Outside of Zhuoxian County, there is lawlessness wherever there is no official government.
bass! Immediately, the sound of drawing a sword was heard, and one of them was already stabbing with a sword. The sword was very thin and curved like a fish fin. It moved in and out, and was best at tearing the flesh.
Xiang Ji didn't move, and there seemed to be cold stars flashing in his eyes. He just watched helplessly as the long sword stabbed directly at his throat.
Young people, flash mob! There was a charlatan who couldn't stand it on the long street. He shouted, picked up a stone and threw it over. However, another member of the Giant Whale Gang raised his hand and smashed it into pieces. He looked at it with cold eyes.
Ding!
At this moment, the long sword was blocked, stopping in the air as if it had hit a mountain.
But when everyone looked at it in surprise, they found that it was not a towering mountain.
But a finger.
A glistening index finger.
It's not very long, but has a full arc. I pressed my fingertips gently on the tip of the fin sword. The tip of the sword was sharp but could not penetrate it. It was blocked three inches in front of the throat.
If you look closely, you can see that there is a thin layer of transparent cuticle on the skin of the knuckles! It is this layer of skin that blocks the tip of the sword, preventing it from advancing even an inch.
"Leather armor coat? A martial artist!!"
In an instant, Lao Jianghu exclaimed, recognizing this obvious martial arts characteristic!
This boy, who is only the age of Dancing Elephant, is actually a real martial artist?
hiss!
At this moment, many people from all walks of life couldn't help but smack their lips and gasp. Even some wealthy families in Zhuo County couldn't help but look sideways. They looked at Xiang Ji seriously and looked up and down. They noticed from the young man's calm demeanor just now. Something strange, but I didn't expect that his martial arts skills would actually lead to such a situation.
Such a young martial arts master can open a martial arts gym even in Zhuoxian County and become a talkative 'person'.
"Martial Master?!" At this moment, not to mention the man stabbing the sword, but also the members of the Giant Whale Gang who were watching the show, their hearts trembled violently, their heads were as big as a bucket, and they didn't know what to do for a moment.
Even when facing martial artists, they can use their status to make jokes and get past them, and the other party can't afford to offend them, but this is a martial artist! You can open a martial arts gym in a county or town and become a local martial arts master!
How could they, ants-like people, get into trouble with such a person?
"Good, good man, spare your life!"
The sword-piercing man's lips trembled, and he wanted to beg for mercy, but unfortunately, Xiang Ji still didn't look back, never looked at him, and kept looking at the Xihe Tower.
clang!
The next moment, he pressed forward lightly with his index finger, and the dagger made of rough iron was dropped from his hand and fell to the ground. As if he was struck by lightning, the man vomited out a mouthful of blood. He fell like a broken cat, but was struck by that sword again. The big hands like eagle talons grasped the throat and picked it up, holding it like a chicken, in a panic.
"What a stinky fish and rotten shrimp, come to make things difficult for me."
Xiang Ji put one hand behind his back and held the man at his side with the other. He spoke calmly, not even bothering to look at him. He only used his fingers to exert force, crushed the man's throat with a bang, and threw it casually. A corpse fell to the ground, sending up smoke and dust several feet high, shocking the pedestrians on both sides of the long street.
"You...you really dare to attack! There is no support from the government here, and no arrests are coming!" The other gang member was frightened. They usually bully others, but they have never seen their companions see blood.
"You also know that there is no government support? Then what should I worry about?"
Xiang Ji slowly flicked his fingers and shook his hands, and all the smoke fell. He only raised his foot and stepped on it. The fin sword that had just been buried in the ground was thrown up by the strong wind. Then he flicked his fingers, and the sword flew out with a clang. Heading towards the giant whale gang three feet away.
"Spare your life, spare your life... ah!" The gang had never seen this miraculous killing method before. They only had time to let out a scream before they were pierced into the chest by flying swords. They raised their heads and fell down into a pool of mud. No sound.
A single finger can shoot a hundred-jin bow. The power of this flick of a finger can naturally transform into a 'ten-step flying sword', killing people with ease.
"With one finger, he can shoot a bow like thunder, and his leather armor and membrane can block the sword. He is really a martial artist with real skills."
There was Lao Jianghu who made a cry of excitement and the bamboo stick in his hand was shaking. He was really a character!
"The Giant Whale Gang is bold, and the county magistrate and distinguished guests are the ones you can despise!
There are grievances and grievances in the world. The government will not get involved, but they must be discerning. Some people are not something you can mess with! "
At this time, Ma Dayan coughed slightly and stood up to deal with the aftermath, deliberately letting two gang members die to 'vent his anger'. After all, the majesty of martial arts masters cannot be violated, so he directly brought the banner of the government, even if the Giant Whale Gang wanted to do anything, they would not be able to do it. .
As soon as these words came out, it was natural that a big matter was reduced to a trivial matter, making it clear that this was a dispute between Jianghu and Jianghu, and they would not be held accountable even if they died. They were all caused by themselves.
good! Everyone cheered and felt happy. The Giant Whale Gang's rampage and tyranny had long caused complaints along the Zhuojiang River. They hurt people at every turn, killed people and took money. Naturally, everyone despised and hated them.
If someone can dampen their spirit, it is to eliminate harm for the people, a good deed, and a title of righteousness.
"It's a pity. I'm a beginner in martial arts and have gained strength through hard work. I just want to try it." Ade felt a little regretful and touched the long sword at his waist, dissipating the strength flowing in his feet.
"Um?"
At this moment, Old Doctor Huang's eyes flashed and he hummed softly. Xiang Ji also felt something and stared at the horse driven by the man. The horse was still running towards them without anyone driving it.
Chi!
At the moment when the big horse was approaching, a figure suddenly flipped over from the horse's belly and flew out, rushing towards Xiang Ji. He took off the long bow from his back with his right hand, and opened the bow string six times with one finger in a breath.
In an instant, six arrows were fired at once. The man was dressed in black, with a black cloth mask on his face. He was stout and followed the bow and arrow. He held a broad-bladed sword nearly five feet long in his hand. The blade was scarlet. Only by drinking enough blood can the blood penetrate into the iron.
The sword blade is like a bloody storm, and the air is stagnant. This is a well-prepared ambush!
Obviously, this is where the 'misfortune' reflected in the hexagrams lies, and here lies the so-called disaster.
"Martial Master!" Everyone exclaimed again, firing a hundred-jin bow with one finger. This is definitely an accomplished martial artist.
"Take people's money to eliminate disasters for them! These people are mixed with assassins from the Disaster Relief Building. They are here to avenge the last battle at Tiger Wolf Peak!" the county government arrester Kuai Ma yelled, and his identity was revealed at once.
This is the killer of the disaster relief building, here to take revenge!
"Hey, it seems you are not well informed."
Xiang Ji smiled playfully, planted roots on the ground, sucked in the waist and hips, held the chest and pulled up the back, and directly displayed the Eagle Claw Skill. Then, with his arms fluttering like an eagle's wings, he directly grabbed three arrow feathers, raised his feet and fell back With a kick, the tip of the knife trembled, and the long knife on his back rose up in response. He grabbed it and performed a 'sweeping thousands of armies' between slashes.
Dang, Dang, Dang!
There were three long blasts, two short and one long, and the last one was particularly melodious because the sixth arrow feather was mixed with the big sword and struck together, but it was all blocked by the horizontal sword.
"The intelligence is wrong, withdraw!" Seeing this scene, the man in black was shocked. What kind of warrior is this? He is clearly a martial artist, or a freak with such strong blood that he has the power of two bulls!
Obviously, the disaster relief building did not expect that he would break through and achieve the level of a martial artist so quickly, so he only sent a first-level martial artist. Naturally, he was very reliable against the martial artist, but against Xiang Ji, who was also a martial artist, it was a big deal. are different.
As soon as he thought about this, his strength became a little lighter, and he took a roundabout way with the sword. This meant that if he missed a single blow, he would run away for hundreds of miles and look for another opportunity.
"Want to leave? It's too late!"
But now, how could Xiang Ji, whose strength had greatly increased, let him escape? His whole body was filled with energy and blood mixed with thunderous energy, and he immediately rushed forward, and the power of two bulls burst out unreasonably!
I saw him turn his left hand to grab the wrist, his five fingers were as sharp as barbs, and with a thunderous movement, there was a muffled sound in the sky, and he grabbed the big sword, making it impossible to pull away, and he could not retreat; his right hand waved The sharp weapon Xunmei Knife slashed through Huashan with great force. The blade tore through the air, causing a harsh whimpering sound. There were dense thunderous sounds along the way, which made people feel extremely heavy, breathing rapidly, and unable to move.
Purple Thunder Sword Technique·Spring Thunder Death!
As soon as the killing move comes out, it is a life-and-death battle. The people in black want to retreat, they have lost their courage, their weapons have been taken away, and they have lost their sharpness. Forced like this, they can only use half of their strength. Fall into disadvantage.
puff!
With this retreat, he cut off his own retreat, and blood spattered on the spot. As the rabbit rose and the falcon fell, the man in black screamed miserably and staggered backwards. The hand that stretched out to hold the sword fell from the wrist, an inch thick The membrane coat of his body was also cut off by a long knife, blood spurted out, and severe pain penetrated his bones.
Although the leather armor and membrane coat is powerful, it can only be used as a rough iron weapon, and cannot stop a real hundred-refined weapon!
However, Xiang Ji was unyielding when he gained the upper hand. The hand holding the long sword suddenly pushed forward, and the sword hilt was punched through with force like an iron pestle. It hit the man in black's chest head-on. Although it did not break the leather armor, a thunderous force erupted, directly crushing his sternum. Blood spurted out on the spot and he fell to the ground.
"Good work!"
"With three moves and two moves, he defeated a martial arts killer from the disaster elimination building. This strength is enough to make him famous."
Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in admiration. First they killed the Giant Whale Gang, and then defeated the Disaster Relief Building. Zhuoxian County seemed to have another 'young figure'.
I just don’t know, what name will he get?
"The thieves from the Disaster Control Building dare to show their faces in our Zhuo County and seek death!"
And just when Ma Dayan stepped forward, preparing to capture the man in black and send him to the Yamen, another strong wind came from the crowd.
He was a young man who looked strong and muscular, about seventeen years old, with thick eyebrows and tiger eyes. He was dressed in a student's white robe, and his black hair was spread freely. He had a straight chest and a fierce look in his eyes. The killer of the disaster relief building rushed to the end.
boom!
Every movement of his hands and feet was accompanied by the sound of muscles and bones, vitality and blood, and the outstretched arm suddenly swelled up, as if it had become the palm of the giant spirit god. The air was pushed, and there was a continuous whimpering sound, and he directly slapped Pressed on the killer's forehead, he was killed on the spot with a pop. His mouth, nose and eyes were shattered, mucus mixed with tears fell down from his nose, and two lines of blood spurted out directly from the corpse's ears, splashing on passers-by. The whole thing caused a rush.
The blood training is like rushing into the river, and the giant spirit is showing its ferocity!
The next day, practice blood martial arts!
This is a vision that describes the martial arts master in Erguan, "a giant spirit moving blood." In one thought, the blood and qi in the whole body are vigorous, and can reach every part of the body at will. The power is condensed, creating a huge transformation, just like the one in myths and legends. The giant spirit is like a god, standing tall and tall.
Hiss, where did this character come from? Everyone was shocked again, how come there are so many masters popping up one after another today? What a big day!
Xiang Ji showed a strange look. Why was this person so ruthless?
If you want to kill the man in black before the official is dispatched, if there is no grudge ahead, then there is another problem.
"I'm very tempted, the disciples of Lu's Academy are sworn enemies of the Disaster Relief Building. Many senior fellow apprentices in the academy died at the hands of these thieves. Therefore, I must kill them when I see them outside. I apologize for disturbing everyone." Yes, I hope it’s not strange.”
Except for the man in black, Gao You gradually became restrained. He bowed to the passers-by around him and revealed the reason for his action.
This made everyone stunned. Who is the martial artist? He even bowed and apologized to ordinary people like them. It was really the first time he saw them, and he was a little overwhelmed.
"It turns out that a disciple of Lu's Academy, no wonder he has achieved the martial arts skills of a giant spirit moving blood at such a young age!"
"Looking at his background, if he practices diligently, he may become a third-rate master by the time he reaches the championship."
Lu's Academy! When this name is revealed, it is a louder sign than the Giant Whale Gang. Everyone in Zhuo County and Youzhou has to show off some face, just because the person standing behind him is like the Lu family, a great scholar Lu Zhi .
This was an academy founded by Lu Zhi, a great scholar of the time. It was also directly affiliated with half of the imperial court, and its background and strength were extraordinary.
In the secular world, if you have a small amount of external skills, you can be called a third-rate master. If you have great external skills, you can be called a second-rate person. If you have supernatural powers, you can be called a first-rate master. In the academy, there are several famous second-rate figures!
The Confucian of Heaven sitting on the mountain, the Confucian of Earth asking questions on a white horse, turning the palm of one's hand to shake the Western Heaven... all are famous masters in Youzhou.
At the same time, the life-changing diagram in Xiang Ji's mind shone brightly, the hexagram images slowly dissipated, and the familiar sense of fullness reappeared, breaking the hexagram and grasping the secret!
[Cyan Tianji·Strong: There are countless grievances and grievances, and they must be repaid!
After fighting for a long time, you will develop strange ideas, understand the changes in internal energy, and the method of receiving force and hitting force. After being attacked by the enemy, you can use the force of the attack and the force of the next attack at the same time. 】
"This time it involves a martial artist, so the secret turns blue? The more dangerous it is, the greater the profit. Wealth can be found in danger."
Xiang Ji's heart moved and he had some insights, which just confirmed the theory that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other.
The secret he got this time is very suitable for his fierce offensive line. He can trade injuries for injuries and become more courageous as he fights.
"Hahaha, it turns out that little brother Gao Luo and brother Shanhe are here. What a coincidence. Come on, come up quickly. The county magistrate invites you."
The next moment, a loud laugh came from the building. Wang Qian, an acquaintance, jumped down and stood in front of the door, inviting everyone to sit down for the banquet.
Chushanhe?
Many Jianghu people looked at Xiang Ji. It turned out that this young martial artist was the young knight who rescued the county magistrate not long ago. They were really impressed by Xiang Ji after three days apart, and now they are both martial arts masters.
"It would be great if I could be like him."
Some young people with strong blood are even more envious. Unfortunately, there are too many people chasing dreams. They are just a small bush of weeds among them. The wild fire cannot burn them all, but when the spring breeze blows, what emerges again is no longer them. This batch.
Every day, people bleed in the rivers and lakes and martial arts world, and there are too many disputes and grievances that no one can sort out. In the rivers and lakes, there is a price to be paid for acting on impulse. If loyalty is useful, what else does the world ask for for profound martial arts? If it is heroic spirit. It's useful, why do you want wealth and fame?
Many times in this world, opportunities do not come just by asking for them. Sometimes, even if the opportunity is right in front of you, you can only look at it but not get it.
I have seen more things and my horizons have broadened, so naturally I have opened my eyes to many things. My xinxing is no longer that of a fledgling who just entered the world. I feel that miracles are within me, and opportunities and good fortune are at my fingertips.
"Please." "Please!"
Gao You and Xiang Ji looked at each other, smiled, and then went upstairs side by side, all the way to the top, and arrived at the place where the county magistrate was hosting a banquet.
As soon as he entered, he saw the two Lu clan members from before. Lu Ping and his clan uncle were among them.
"Is it possible that the county magistrate still has a relationship with the Lu family?" Ade whispered. The person accompanying him was either a member of the Lu family or a disciple of the academy. This relationship is definitely unusual!
"Hahaha! Come on, let me introduce you to you. These are my benefactors, little brother Chu Shanhe and Master Huang."
Seeing their arrival, the county magistrate stood up to greet them with a smile, and even the two Lu clan members followed their gazes.
Meaningful.
