At night, the soft moonlight shines down, and there is no one on the bustling streets during the day.
The clear chirping of insects resounded throughout this quiet ancient town. It was a peaceful and quiet night.
Suddenly, a black figure rushed past the silent street.
His speed was very fast, just like a cheetah in the jungle, passing by in a flash.
However, although he ran at an astonishing speed, the sound he made was very small.
It was not even as loud as the noise made by ordinary people walking. He was like a nightmare in the dark night.
Under the clear light of the moonlit night, we can clearly see the owner of this figure.
He was wearing a brown cloth, an official hat on his head, and an official sword at his waist. He had a determined look on his face.
The beads of sweat on his forehead were falling down as he ran.
It can be seen that this person is very tired.
But even though he was so tired, his eyes were still highly focused, and his speeding figure didn't show any sluggishness at all. Even the rhythm of his breathing didn't change at all.
This young man holding a waist knife in one hand and running very fast on the street late at night is Xiao Liu.
Xiao Liu was concentrating on it at this time. He was running at top speed while trying to control his breathing. He was practicing the so-called Qing Gong according to the techniques taught by Lao Bai.
At this time, three days have passed since Lao Bai taught Xiao Liu Kung Fu.
During these three days, Xiao Liu practiced this Qing Gong diligently every day.
The so-called Qing Gong practice is actually not complicated. It is just one word, run!
The foot strength developed through continuous running, coupled with the coordination of breathing techniques, makes one's body as light as a swallow when jumping, making it look like flying.
Of course, if you add in the cooperation of internal force, you can really fly two or three feet above the ground like a bird.
Unfortunately, Xiaoliu didn't know internal energy at this time, so he couldn't fly yet.
At most, he can only run a little faster than others and jump a little higher than others.
Of course, this so-called point is not simple at all.
After Xiaoliu's hard training in the past few days, coupled with his already amazing physical fitness, Xiaoliu can now easily jump to a height of more than two meters with a single leap.
In other words, as long as Xiaoliu is given a point of leverage, Xiaoliu can easily fly up the four-meter-high beam. This can be regarded as a preliminary introduction to Qinggong.
After Xiaoliu got started with Qinggong, he originally planned to continue asking Lao Bai for advice on how to practice internal skills.
But unfortunately, Lao Bai, who was hit by Xiao Liu, refused to teach him even if he was beaten to death.
Especially when he knew that Xiao Liu had already mastered Qing Gong and had mastered the basic acupuncture skills he taught.
For Lao Bai, the reason why he taught Xiao Liu a few tricks was just to give him the ability to protect himself when detecting bandits.
And with the martial arts that Xiao Liu now masters, as long as he doesn't seek death himself, or there are powerful masters among the bandits, there is nothing he can do to Xiao Liu.
And are there any powerful masters among those bandits?
Lao Bai smiled slightly, who among the real masters would become a bandit? If you have that ability, you can sneak into a rich man's home, empty out his property, and then find a place where no one knows you and become a rich man. This is no better than being a bandit in the mountains!
In Lao Bai's eyes, bandits are nothing more than a group of guys with poor martial arts who just hug together to keep each other warm.
Compared to the bandits, he was more worried about Xiaoliu.
Xiao Liu learned martial arts too fast. If he continued to teach him, it wouldn't be long before Xiao Liu learned all his martial arts skills.
No matter what the relationship between the two is now, to him, Xiao Liu is always an official and he is always a thief.
If Xiao Liu discovers his identity then, wouldn't he be digging a hole for himself?
So now he doesn't teach anything, and he has a legitimate reason. I have confiscated you as a disciple and have no obligation to teach you, and your current martial arts is enough to deal with bandits.
It can be said that Lao Bai is really a veteran, he has already thought about it from the beginning.
When Xiao Liu saw that Lao Bai stopped teaching, he was not angry. After all, it's a matter of affection, not duty. He cupped his fists and thanked Lao Bai.
"Thank you, Brother Bai!"
But Xiaoliu's thanks made Lao Bai feel a little nauseous.
But this idea was quickly thrown out of his mind. After all, his own life was more important than his face.
And Xiaoliu, who lost Lao Bai's guidance, could only go back to what he was at the beginning. During the day, he patrolled the streets waiting for the old man and inquired about the bandits, and at night he practiced sword skills and Qinggong.
As for the acupuncture skills taught by Lao Bai, Lao Bai taught Xiao Liu only one trick in total, and Xiao Liu learned it in no time.
The most important thing about this acupoint is the recognition of the acupoints and the strength of the fingers. Of these two, Xiaoliu has a photographic memory and a natural power. It can be said that he can master them once taught.
As for the fingering techniques that required constant practice, Lao Bai only taught him one move in total. There was no fingering technique at all, so Xiao Liu didn't have to practice it.
Under the moonlit night, Xiao Liu kept running. The night in Qixia Town was quiet and deserted. Usually at this time, apart from him, there were only people walking around during the night watch, so he was equivalent to a disguised night vigil patrolling the streets.
However, the nights in Qixia Town where nothing happened in the past were a bit uneasy tonight.
Xiao Liu had just rushed through an intersection when he suddenly heard a woman's cry for help.
"Help! Someone come! Help!"
The voice was somewhat familiar. Xiao Liu heard the sound and ran over quickly, only to see that the voice came from Tongfu Inn.
The door of Tongfu Inn was closed, but the lights were still on inside. Xiao Liu immediately recognized that the voice belonged to Xiao Guo.
Xiaoliu didn't know what was going on inside, and didn't dare to say anything rashly. He planned to sneak in and see what was going on inside.
At this time, the door was not closed tightly, but was just ajar. Xiao Liu saw through the crack in the door that Xiao Guo was pulling Lao Bai and yelling about indecency.
Before Xiao Liu could react when he saw this scene, Xiucai and Da Zui, who heard the shouts in the backyard, had already been killed.
As soon as Xiucai and Da Zui came out, they saw Xiao Guo with disheveled clothes and disheveled hair hugging Lao Bai.
While hugging him, Xiao Guo shouted for help.
They immediately thought that Lao Bai was molesting Xiao Guo, and they immediately ran over and pulled Lao Bai away.
When Lao Bai saw this, he knew it was not good and quickly wanted to explain. However, he couldn't explain this situation even with eight mouths.
What's more, at this time, Xiao Guo was still crying non-stop.
Xiao Liu outside the door looked at this familiar scene and instantly knew that Xiao Guo was blaming Lao Bai. He quickly wanted to rush in and prove it for Lao Bai.
But just when he was about to open the door and enter, he suddenly paused. He thought, if he goes in like this now, others may not believe him.
And if you go in and force yourself to say that Xiao Guo framed Lao Bai for the martial arts competition, it will undoubtedly push Xiao Guo to the opposite side.
And if Xiao Guo refuses to admit it because he cares about his face, then if a lawsuit is really filed, Lao Bai will undoubtedly have no chance of winning.
After all, one is a woman and the other is a man. No one would believe that a woman would sacrifice her reputation for the sake of a martial arts competition.
Moreover, Xiao Guo is the daughter of a giant hero, and Lao Bai's identity cannot withstand scrutiny.
Under heavy concerns, Xiao Liu decided to stay put for now and see if Xiao Guo would take the initiative to admit his mistake after discovering that things were getting serious like in the original play. If she didn't, then Xiao Liu would have no choice but to take action.
Things developed very quickly. After being pulled away by the scholar, Lao Bai quickly wanted to explain. However, due to this situation and Xiao Guo who was crying beside him, Lao Bai could not explain himself.
Even the shopkeeper, who had always trusted Lao Bai the most, gave Lao Bai a loud slap in the face.
She is so angry! I've been flirting with you, hinting at you for so long, but you actually... . .
When Lao Bai saw that even the shopkeeper didn't listen to his explanation, he was really sad and heartbroken.
But at this time, Xiao Guo on the side was still adding fuel to the fire.
"Don't hit him, don't hit him." Xiao Guo quickly stood in the middle of the crowd and cried to dissuade him. "It's none of his business. It's all my fault. It was me, it was me who seduced him."
Everyone was stunned when they heard Xiao Guo's words. What was going on? Even Lao Bai was stunned.
But before he could be happy, he saw Xiao Guo holding his hand and begging him with tears.
"Brother Bai, please don't kill me, okay? I will do everything you say, but you must not kill me to silence me. Woo hoo hoo..."
Xiao Guo was crying and scared, bursting into tears, which really made me feel pity for him.
Even Xiao Liu outside the door would have been fooled by Xiao Guo's acting skills if he hadn't already known what was going on.
This performance is so real. This is no longer lying and not drafting, but every aspect has been calculated.
Xiao Liu can guarantee that if Xiao Guo were born in the future, the movie queen would definitely be lenient.
Everyone looked at Lao Bai angrily at this moment, and Lao Bai also knew that he would not be able to clean himself up even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
"I'll fight you! Let's fight!"
I saw Lao Bai shouting and wanting to die with Xiao Guo.
When Xiao Guo saw that Lao Bai was about to take action, he was also happy that he wanted to fight to the death with Lao Bai.
However, accidents always happen unexpectedly. The scholar took out a small bench from nowhere and slapped Lao Bai on the back of the head.
Lao Bai was furious at this moment, and all his attention was focused on Xiao Guo, so he didn't guard his back.
Being slapped by the scholar so suddenly immediately dispelled the energy he had just gained, and Lao Bai fainted innocently due to the backlash.
But he muttered before passing out.
"I... was wronged... in vain... ah."
Seeing Lao Bai like this, Xiao Liu outside the house shook his head helplessly.
With Xiao Guo's acting skills, identity, and background, if she was determined to frame Lao Bai, then Lao Bai would probably be dead, and even he wouldn't be able to save her.
'Oh, let's take it one step at a time! '
Xiaoliu could only think about how to save it, while retreating to the corner and continuing to watch the next development of things, hoping that everything would be okay!
After Lao Bai fainted, several people from the shopkeeper asked Xiao Guo, and Xiao Guo's answers were spot-on. Even though the shopkeepers felt that Lao Bai was not such a person, the victim was right in front of them, so they also It was impossible to doubt her face to face.
They could only comfort Xiao Guo and let her go to rest first. They promised to give her justice.
Soon Lao Bai also woke up, and Lao Bai who woke up also knew that no matter how he explained it at this moment, it was useless, and he simply gave up on this idea.
Seeing Lao Bai who was no longer planning to defend himself, the three shopkeepers also sighed helplessly.
However, although the three of them already thought that Lao Bai wanted to molest Xiao Guo, the friendship between them over the past two years made them reluctant to send Lao Bai to the Yamen.
Finally, after several people discussed it, they decided to ask Lao Bai to leave Tongfu Inn quickly, so that they could not only give an explanation to Xiao Guo, but also protect Lao Bai's safety in disguise.
When Lao Bai heard this result, he no longer wanted to defend himself, so he could only accept it helplessly.
Lao Bai packed up the package in despair, and everyone also prepared some things for him on the road, thinking that they had fulfilled the brotherhood of the past two years.
Lao Bai reluctantly said goodbye to everyone one by one.
Seeing Lao Bai's extremely reluctant look when he said goodbye, Xiao Liu outside the house and Xiao Guo behind the curtain also felt a little uncomfortable. Especially Xiao Guo, she still didn't expect that the trouble would be so big. She just wanted to compete with Lao Bai and teach him a lesson.
Finally, after Lao Bai said goodbye to everyone, Lao Bai looked at Xiao Guo who was peeking behind the curtain.
"Guo Furong." He shouted through gritted teeth.
Xiao Guo, like a child who made a mistake, ran out quickly, stood in front of Lao Bai, and whispered timidly.
"Here it is."
Lao Bai looked at Xiao Guo, who was a little timid in front of him, and smiled calmly. He seemed to have accepted this ending. He looked at Xiao Guo calmly and said with neither hatred nor anger.
"I have something to say to you. Thank you. It's you who allowed me to live a happy life of being on tenterhooks, fighting and killing, eating one meal without finishing the next, and living a happy life without tonight or tomorrow."
As he said this, Lao Bai smiled helplessly and continued.
"Do you know why I stayed in the inn two years ago? It was because I was tired of this kind of life. I originally planned to change my ways, but now."
Lao Bai pursed his lips, and a bitter tear slowly flowed down.
"It seems that I can only come back to the world." After saying that, Lao Bai turned around and picked up his bag to leave.
"Wait!" Seeing Lao Bai like this, Xiao Guo blurted out quickly.
Lao Bai just stopped and did not turn around.
Xiao Guo looked back and forth at everyone. After some hesitation, he finally chose to admit his mistake and truthfully told the truth that he framed Lao Bai because he wanted to force him to compete with him.
After hearing Xiao Guo admit that it was her, not Lao Bai, who was wrong, the three people who had just misunderstood Lao Bai because of Xiao Guo's acting skills immediately pointed the finger at Xiao Guo angrily.
Seeing that Xiao Guo finally found his way back, Lao Bai came to Xiao Guo's rescue and generously forgave Xiao Guo. Perhaps in his view, Xiao Guo could finally stand up to clarify for him, which means that this girl actually It's not bad, just a little immature.
In this way, after Lao Bai explained some truth to Xiao Guo, he agreed to a competition with Xiao Guo based on a promise.
And Xiao Guo was very happy to see Lao Bai agree. In the past few days, she had already thought of a clever plan to defeat Lao Bai.
But Xiao Guo was careless. She had just arrived at the door to set up her posture and prepare to stretch her muscles. Unexpectedly, Lao Bai, who had not yet gone out, attacked her from behind and caught her in one fell swoop.
The three shopkeepers, who originally thought there was a battle to watch, were stunned when they saw Lao Bai's sneak attack.
"Jianghu, it's not that simple."
Lao Bai smiled at everyone, and then went back to put away his parcel. When the others heard Lao Bai's words, they all dispersed, leaving Xiao Guo alone at the door drinking the northwest wind.
As for Xiao Liu, when he heard Xiao Guo admitting his mistake, he had already left and continued to practice his Qing Gong.
The night has returned to tranquility and peace, and at the same time, a girl's martial arts dream is gradually collapsing!
