Chapter 8: Toka in the Mountains

The three of them sat by the pool and Ba Fenghan said: Jun Yu and I left Xiangyang that day and drove north to Luoyang on Route 6 for three days before arriving at Nanyang County.

Kou Zhong asked: Who is in charge of Nanyang County?

Ba Duihan was wiping the long sword on his knee with his sleeve and replied: Nanyang belongs to Wang Shichong and is guarded by his general Wuliangjian Xiang Siren. This guy was related to Wang Shichong for quite a while.

Xu Ziling said with emotion: You know the situation in the Central Plains well. We are confused about who is whose enemy and who is whose relative!

Ba Fenghan smiled and said: I'm just willing to pay attention! And there are many things Jun Yu told me that I won't forget once I hear them.

Kou Zhong interjected: What happened after that?

Ba Fenghan said: "Originally, it was just a matter of attacking a group of enemies from outside Han. We fought a tough battle and killed several of the opponent's people. We left Nanyang overnight and continued northward. Unexpectedly, we were ambushed again on the way. He came to make light of it, but the two of them

We can all imagine the fierce fighting at that time, otherwise Ba Fenghan and Bo Junyu would not have to flee.

What kind of people have such strength?

Kou Zhong was moved in his mind: Have he met Bi Xuan's eccentric apprentice Tuo Bayu and his romantic and pretty junior sister?

Ba Fenghan said in astonishment: How do you know them?

Kou Zhongdao: This is a long story, are they the ones?

Ba Fenghan asked curiously: "Kou Zhong, what's wrong with you tonight? You seem to be very impatient."

Kou Zhong stayed for a long time and agreed: I am indeed unusually prone to getting impatient. What is the reason?

Xu Ziling said: I must have had a premonition that something would go wrong but not come out, right? Because I also had a little ominous feeling.

Ba Fenghan smiled and said: Don't be suspicious! In short, when the three of us are together, even if Bixuan comes to stir up trouble, we must consider changing to another life. What do you have to worry about?

Kou Zhong clapped his legs and said, "Well done! Laoba, do you ever feel that you are a difficult person to get along with? When I ask you about things, you are always hesitant and don't take things seriously. He just answers the wrong questions. How did you get separated from Aunt Yu?"

What I care about is the safety of my mother’s junior sister!

Ba Fenghan smiled and said: You must have gone elsewhere by yourself! Have you fallen in love with Tuo Bayu's pretty junior sister Chun Yuwei?

This time it was Xu Ziling's turn to impatiently say: Brother Ba, hurry up!

Ba Fenghan suddenly put away his smile, his eyes were cold, he revealed a cold and chilling smile and said in a deep voice: We are for the second person of the Yingui sect. Bian lived up to the interception in an ancient temple. He couldn't even say a word to make a move.

I supported him alone and let Jun Yu slip away first, but when I escaped to the designated place to meet her, she was not there. I was afraid that she was defeated by the people of the Yingui sect, so I searched the nearby area for dozens of miles and finally found the basis.

I found some clues and came back to Xiangyang, but I didn't expect to meet that bitch Zheng Shuming again.

The two looked at each other in shock.

Kou Zhong scratched his head and said: Bian Buhui is the guy who got out there. Why has no one ever heard his name mentioned? Ba Fenghan said: Bian Buhui is Zhu Yuyan's junior brother. He has such high martial arts skills that I have only seen him casually move his hands and feet in my life.

His sword had to change several times before he could block it, which made it very difficult for me to fight. But he was outsmarted by half, otherwise I wouldn't be able to wait for the dawn with you now.

The two of them looked up at the sky, and the first ray of dawn finally appeared on the eastern horizon.

Ba Fenghan said casually: He is Wan Jing's biological father.

The two of them lost their voices and said: What?

Ba Fenghan smiled and said: If Wan Jing hadn't looked like him, how could I have recognized him at a glance? Bian Fulai is a hermit in the Demon Cult. His nickname is Mo Yin. Do you think I've strayed from the conversation again?

Kou Zhong said: I don’t care whether he is a demon or a ghost, but I am sure that he is probably the third person in the Yingui sect. If you meet the real number two, the demon girl guarantees the sunshine later. It's not like you took the photo.

Ba Fenghan said solemnly: Has the descendant of the Yingui Sect finally set foot in the world? Can you tell me the details?

The two of them exchanged words with each other to express their relationship with Huan Huan.

Ba Fenghan said in a deep voice: I didn’t expect that the descendants of this generation of the Yingui Sect are so powerful. Now I want to see it. If I can hold her, I can make any deal with the Yingui Sect. But your plan is too passive. Find your four brothers and all this is unknown.

Xu Ziling said calmly: Why did the Yingui faction have to mobilize all their troops to deal with Brother Ba?

Ba Fenghan glanced at the two of them with a smile and said: You should know best that Wu Yaonv has teamed up with Chang Shumu and Du Fuwei to win Jingling; of course, it means that Zhu Yuyan and Qu Aoyou joined hands to borrow Lao Du's help. The agreement to conquer the world. But Jun Yu and I unintentionally sabotaged their plan to deal with you and Pegasus Ranch. The Demon Cult specializes in repaying blood with blood, but this has made the Yin Gui faction do whatever it takes. Come to kill me.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling's expressions changed at the same time.

Ba Fenghan understood the reason for their worries and snorted: "You two, you don't need to worry too much. Your Aunt Yu is the direct disciple of Master Yijian Master Cailin. No matter how Zhu Yuyan doesn't take the people of the world seriously, she will not be stupid enough to marry her." This kind of enemy can easily overthrow the Yin Gui faction. All they have to deal with is someone named Ba. If we can capture the demon girl, we can negotiate with Zhu Yuyan to replace him.

Kou Zhong took a breath and said: After so much time, the demon girl Tianhou may have fully recovered. If we add Bian Fuhua and a few minions of the Yingui sect, it will be a problem whether we can escape, let alone capture her alive. Brother must have laughed.

Ba Fenghan showed a confident smile and said: "What do you think if we can make rapid progress in martial arts in a short period of time, stop quietly, and then suddenly attack and select the enemy's important figures to assassinate them by any means necessary?"

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other and asked for advice.

Ba Fenghan's sharp eyes flashed with a cold and chilling murderous intention and he said slowly: The reason why I have always been looking for masters to challenge is because I don't have an opponent who is worthy enough. If you two brothers are willing to fight with me and study, It only takes ten or eight days to make up for each other's shortcomings, which can be better than ten or eight years of other people's efforts. No one would have thought of this. We are young and making continuous progress. What we lack is New excitement. Kou Zhong slapped his legs and exclaimed:

Fortunately, you can imagine it, but I don’t understand something. Your relationship with us has never been appropriate. Why are you willing to cooperate with my two brothers so sincerely? In fact, the main target of the Yingui Sect is us, not Brother Ba. But in this case, Brother Ba will He will forge an unbreakable hatred with the Yingui Sect and Qu Ao.

Ba Fenghan raised his face to greet the first ray of sunshine that shone into the valley and said with a smile: I am used to living alone and cooperating with you is just a temporary solution; just because this will bring endless benefits to everyone, it is also our step towards martial arts. It is an extremely important step in the process of training at the highest peak. Maybe one day I will be facing each other with swords, but in these days, the only way for us to survive is to put aside all the grudges of the past and fight the enemy together. Humph. !Anyone who wants to kill me, Ba Fenghan, will not have a good life.

Kou Zhongtou said: "Brother Ba's eloquence is really good. I am very moved when I hear it. But we can't fight around all day long and go out to inquire about the enemy's movements in our spare time."

Xu Ziling objected: This is not stopping with silence. You must know that we have already revealed our whereabouts last night. The demon girl boasted that she would kill us in Haikou. Since the demon sect says that revenge must be retaliated, it should be an oath that must be fulfilled. As long as they mobilize to find us We will give her an opportunity. The only thing we have to worry about is their safety. If we can find them, we can let go of this worry!

Ba Feng Hantou agreed: "Brother Xu, in these ten days, we must put aside all our concentration on martial arts and race against time. Everything else must be left until after these ten days. Otherwise, going out will only be a self-inflicted humiliation, and we will only be able to do it in the future." What’s the point of being a human being if you can hide here and there and live in fear all day long?

Kou Zhong stretched out his right hand and said with a straight face: "Okay! Let's hide for ten fucking days and then launch a thunderous counterattack to let Zhu Yuyan know that the world is not for them to run amok."

Ba Fenghan also stretched out his right palm and clasped it with him and said solemnly: If my guess is correct, when the enemy cannot find us, they will set up a dragnet in Luoyang for us to throw into it. That will be the best time for us to counterattack.

Xu Ziling put his hand on the back of Ba Fenghan's palm and said: So the most important thing now is how to hide secretly. If you hide here, just the sound of swords and palms and the wind will attract the enemy.

Ba Fenghan had a well-thought-out idea: There is a Great Flood Mountain in the southeast of Xiangyang that stretches for hundreds of miles. As long as you find a place in the deep mountains and poor valleys there, you can guarantee that you will avoid anyone's eyes and ears. What do you think?

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling readily agreed.

It was such a sudden decision that not only saved them from death, but also allowed the three of them to take another crucial step in martial arts at the same time.

※※※

Under the bright moon, the Han River meanders and flows in the distance outside the mountains, creating a spectacle of light waves.

Xu Ziling sat cross-legged on a high cliff and slowly opened his eyes.

After nearly four hours of silent meditation, the scene in front of me changed completely, filled with fresh and moving feelings.

Xu Ziling glanced around and saw the towering peaks stretching out to the left and right like giant rocs spreading their wings. Thousands of weights of rock walls gave people the feeling that it was difficult for a bird to cross. In fact, it took them a lot of effort to climb up with their light skills. .

On the opposite side of the shorter mountains, there are lush forests and countless exotic flowers and plants. Among them, flowing springs and waterfalls in the rock gaps add a lot of interest to this deep mountain and poor valley.

Not long after the wind started blowing, Kou Zhong came to him and sat down on the edge of the cliff with his feet outstretched and swaying outside the cliff, feeling endlessly carefree and carefree.

Xu Ziling said: Where is Lao Ba?

Kou Zhong replied: I don't know where I am hiding to practice my martial arts! Frankly speaking, although this trip is for mutual benefit and mutual assistance, because Fengshihan has a solid foundation in martial arts and knowledge, and is as talented and talented as us, it may not be a problem caused by raising a tiger.

Xu Ziling smiled and said: Mr. Zhong rarely takes advantage of other people's ambitions to destroy his own prestige. Why do you suddenly feel this way?

Kou Zhong sighed and said: The more you get along with Feng Shihan, the more you will realize that he is a cold-blooded and ruthless person. Don't look at the fact that we are all calling each other brothers now and there will never be any good results in the future.

Xu Ziling said curiously: From your tone, it seems that you have some concerns about him.

Kou Zhong said solemnly: I have been fighting and studying with him all the time these days. I can only describe this person as unfathomable. He is more reserved in key areas, so his benefits will be greater than ours.

Xu Ziling said: "I think it's evenly matched. No matter how he saves a hand, we always learn a lot of things from other places that we never thought of before. We also hear about many strange customs and customs in foreign countries. Yes! These days!"

What have you learned from reading the history books and military art books left by Mr. Lu from time to time?

Kou Zhong said with joy: "Of course I have benefited a lot. The art of war is hundreds of times more complicated than the battle between two people, and there are countless changes. But in my opinion, Mr. Lu's imagination is not rich enough and his arguments are sometimes too conservative."

.

Xu Ziling warned: Be humble and understand other people's opinions first!

Kou Zhongdao: I respect him more than you do. Mr. Lu’s most attentive work is the changes in the formations, such as the triangle formation, the plum blossom formation, the use of oddities, falsehoods, and realities, which has never been done before. He passed it on to me and asked me to study the law of war.

I won't let him down if I use it on a real battlefield.

Then he whispered: Are you rheshihan really good to Aunt Yu?

Xu Ziling sighed: This is a very rare person. This person is very dignified and never shows his inner feelings. According to me, he still loves himself more.

Screams came from the mountains. It's time to practice again.

※※※

A bright moon shines slantingly on the mountains.

Ba Fenghan swung his sword and slashed three times into the air. The sound was sharp, piercing, ferocious and poisonous, with a power that could chill people's hearts.

Zheng!

With the sword back in its sheath, Ba Feng calmed down and said: Brother Xu, what do you think of these three swords? Please give me your opinion. Kou Zhong said with a smile: The most powerful thing about these three swords is that they are all uniform regardless of their strength. The most rare thing is the momentum of the sword.

Better than one sword. Anyone who encounters Brother Ba will have to wait for the three swords to pass before he can fight back.

Ba Feng asked Xu Ziling's opinion without comment.

Xu Ziling said thoughtfully: There is a strange thing about Brother Ba's three swords. It seems that the swords fall in one go, but in fact they are not. It seems that there is still a gap in the middle. If the opponent is a master, he will definitely use this gap to counterattack.

Ba Fenghan exclaimed: This view is extremely precise. If I want the average strength of the three swords to be the same, I have to move the sword three times, and then the situation like Brother Xu will happen. I found this flaw for her when I fought against Dugu Feng that day.

She was broken with a sword. This woman was so beautiful and her hands were so terrifyingly hard.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling looked at each other in confusion. Even if they had such vision, whether they could use Ba Fenghan's sword skills was another matter. Moreover, this could only be grasped with the calm attitude of bystanders. Changed

It was a blessing to be able to block these three swords when they were struck head-on. From this we can see how clever Dugu Feng is.

Kou Zhongxu let out a breath and said: Did you lose to her?

Ba Fenghan said proudly: She is better because of her exquisite swordsmanship, but I am better because of my rich experience in actual combat. I deliberately cut off my sword, deceived her with half a move, and just angered her away. But next time I meet, I won't be able to get away so easily. This woman is worse than

I still want to be aggressive.

Xu Ziling suddenly said: No wonder Brother Ba suggested that we go into the mountains to practice. Is this one of the reasons?

Ba Feng coldly snorted: If I just deal with this woman, it would be enough for me to practice alone. But my target is Ning Daoqi. Zhu Yuyan and others will be the first to challenge me when I return to my old friend in the future. Let him know who it is.

He is the number one master of the Turks.

Kou Zhong couldn't help but ask: Have you ever fought against Bi Xuan?

Ba Fenghan smiled bitterly and said: If we really fight, I still have the life to study martial arts with you here. But after we fight, because his eldest disciple Yan Huifeng was killed by me, do you understand?

The two of them secretly thought that no wonder Bi Xuan wanted to kill you.

Ba Fenghan replied with his usual indifference: Brother Xu, Brother Kou, please prepare.

Kou Zhong said in astonishment: Do you want to deal with both of us at the same time?

Ba Fenghan smiled and said: Why not?

Xu Ziling said with a smile: Brother Ba must have enlightened after four hours of meditation, so let us open our eyes! Ba Fenghan slowly pulled out his sword and faced the long wind blowing over the mountains. His clothes were flying because there was a cliff behind him.

Looking along the entire figure, embedded in the star-studded night sky, it looks as straight as a god, and indeed has an arrogant and domineering spirit. Fu Jian muttered:

This sword was made from deep-sea steel and I worked for seven days and seven nights to forge it with my own hands. It is strong yet soft and hard. It is far better than my other broken sword. I have never been able to think of an appropriate name. But tonight, I suddenly realized that it is called

Zhan Xuan, please bear witness.

The person that the Xuan-Zhan Sword wants to kill is Bi Xuan, who is the target that Ba Fenghan has set out to pursue.

Kou Zhong straightened his waist and pulled out Jing Zhongyue and said with a smile: "The name of Jing Zhongyue comes from a mysterious idea. Let's see if Brother Ba's Xuanxuan Sword can really kill Xuanxuan."

Ba Fenghan's eyes shot out cold light, and he focused on the moon in the well that was shining with yellow light due to Koo Zhong's internal energy, and thought deeply:

Kou Zhong, your sword is very murderous, so you must remember that people can make swords and people.

Kou Zhong stroked his knife in astonishment and said doubtfully: Can such a thing really happen?

Ba Fenghan let out a long roar and looked towards Xu Ziling. The bright moon happened to be hanging high behind his handsome face. Under the golden moonlight, his outstanding, unrestrained and aloof moving temperament became even more apparent. He couldn't help but think of Shan Wanjing and sighed secretly in his heart: I want to draw the sword.

Got it!

Xu Ziling's tiger eyes brightened up and he said calmly: Brother Ba, why did Brother Ba suddenly reveal a murderous aura that was not as restrained and hidden as before?

Ba Fenghan secretly knew that the explanation was just nonsense and said with a smile: So you two must be very uneasy this time. I'm not sure I will kill you on a whim! Let's see what the trick is.

A sudden onset of coldness.

Kou Zhong's left hand suddenly changed with fists and palms, and he had no direction to attack. Xu Ziling's majesty and bravery were unrivaled.

The sound of jingling was endless, and Kou Zhong fought with Ba Fenghan's three swords without giving up. The opponent's sword force suddenly changed from wide open and wide open to detailed sword-style circles, wiping, splitting, and cutting. His mysterious and unique techniques completely defeated Kou Zhong.

Covered within the force of the sword.

The other hand used hard bridges and hard horses to attack from far and short distances, teaching Xu Ziling that he could not form an encirclement with Kou Zhong.

The most powerful thing is that he has developed the ability to use his mind in two ways, just like two different people can use different strategies to deal with them.

Suddenly, on this ridge with a radius of three to four feet, the sword energy soared into the air and filled with murderous aura.

When Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling saw Ba Fenghan's bravery, they were in high spirits and were about to counterattack with all their strength. When Ba Fenghan made a big spin and used his left hand to deal with Kou Zhong's Jing Zhongyue, he slashed Xuan with his right hand and attacked Xu Ziling violently.

offensive.

When they were holding their position, Ba Fenghan screamed like thunder again. The swords in his left palm and right hand mixed together, creating a phantom of sword light and palm shadows, killing left and right like a violent storm, leaving the two of them trapped in the passive wind.

Kou Zhong took a sudden breath of energy and dodged sideways while slashing with his sword.

At first, the sword seemed to strike into the air, but when the moon fell in the well, Ba Fenghan's Xuanxuan Sword was struck straight on by him as if it was coming to the door.

The spiral energy is like a flash flood that makes Ba Fenghan move half a step sideways.

Ba Fenghan laughed and said: This knife is the most interesting.

boom!

Xu Ziling took advantage of the situation and punched Ba Fenghan until Ba Fenghan lost his momentum and was forced to fight hard.

With Ba Fenghan's ability, he was forced to open the door and could no longer maintain his original offensive advantage.

Kou Zhong fought for the position on the right side of Ba Fenghan. After Ba Fenghan retreated quickly and tried to make a comeback, the moon in Jing Zhongyue turned into a streak of yellow light and shot towards Ba Fenghan's right side like lightning. Before the knife could reach Ba Fenghan, the spiral energy was already surging.

Come.

Ba Fenghan first used his left hand to force Xu Ziling away with a chopping palm, and then turned back with his sword and turned around to pick Kou Zhong away. Jing Zhongyue was still full of power but seemed to have lost the courage as before.

Suddenly, Ba Fenghan retreated and took his sword with him. He took advantage of Kou Zhongjing Zhongyue to strike in front of him, and the Zhanxuan Sword turned into a long rainbow and shot straight towards Xu Ziling, who was standing on the edge of the cliff about ten feet away. His force was unparalleled and even more powerful than before. It showed that his previous show of weakness was just a sign of weakness.

A plan to lure the enemy.

The most terrible thing is that the area covered by this sword is very wide. Xu Ziling has no way out and can only resort to force.

Snapped!

However, Xu Ziling, as if he had known that Ba Fenghan had this move, took a bow, sat on his horse, and struck the Xuan Zhan sword with his palm.

If this were a plain land, the attack would be brilliant and the block would be beautiful, but it would be an even split.

However, in the current situation where the two forces were fighting against each other, Ba Fenghan could move back, but Xu Ziling could never retreat.

Kou Zhong was shocked when he saw that Xu Ziling was about to fall off the cliff due to the internal force of Ba Fenghan. Ba Fenghan shouted: "Grab the sword!"

Xu Ziling grabbed the sword and was pulled back by Ba Fenghan, leaving the cliff.

Xu Ziling let go of the Zhanxuan Sword and wiped cold sweat from his brow, saying: What a risk! I thought Brother Ba really wanted to kill me. Ba Fenghan laughed and returned the sword to the scabbard and said: Am I such a despicable person who wants to kill Brother Xu?

He was fair and upright. However, he tested Brother Xu's true ability and was able to block my sword that I thought was foolproof.

Then he mused: The so-called Yi swordsmanship that you have studied by yourself is actually similar to Fu Cailin's Yi swordsmanship in appearance but different in spirit. Just like Brother Xu's technique of sealing the frame just now has an incomprehensible prophetic meaning, which is similar to that of Yi swordsmanship.

The mentality of using a sword to attack an enemy is very different.

Kou Zhong asked: What does it mean to use people to fight enemies with swords?

Ba Fenghan said: To put it simply, Shi Jian is like Yi Qi, laying out various situations. As long as the enemy enters the shell, he will be at his mercy. It seems that he can predict the changes of the opponent's moves. But the two Yi sword skills are not like this. For example, can Brother Xu do it?

Tell me why I was able to block the attack path of my Zhanxuan Sword just now and was unable to use the subtlety and power of my sword technique to my fullest?

Xu Ziling's eyes lit up and he said: Brother Ba's analysis is very clear. At that time, it was purely a feeling that made me feel that Brother Ba would attack with his sword like this.

Ba Fenghan sighed: This is the beauty of "The Secret of Immortality". This Taoist book actually contains the secrets of life. It not only changes your physique, but also releases your spiritual potential bit by bit. Who is the most famous person in the history of martial arts?

It is unheard of for me to be able to progress as much as you have and to have the energy to propel the spiral away. But it has also benefited me a lot. If I can succeed in the future, the experience of spending ten days with the two of you will definitely occupy a key position.

Kou Zhong laughed and said: My hands are itching after hearing this, why don't we fight a few more games!

Clang!

The moon in the well came out of its sheath and rushed towards Ba Fenghan.
